When was the last time you "Rattled someones cage " or at least wanted to ? I usually do not intentionally "rattle someone's cage." However, I'm not certain when the last time I actually did was. Since it's never intentional, I would not know unless someone told me.

When was the last time you "Rattled someones cage " or at least wanted to ? Yesterday! It's pouring rain...and very cold and windy...I'm running in the parking lot, headed into a meeting.Woman in front of me rolling her wheel chair, headed in the same direction. Some idiot in a huge SUV pulls up along the curb, blocking the wheel chair access and PARKS. Poor woman in the chair was already drenched...I knocked on the woman's window to tell her she was blocking the poor lady in the chair and because she doesn't want to get wet, rolls down the window an inch. I yell to her what she is doing....she turns around to look and rolls her window back up and just sits there!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She watched me and another man get the wheelchaired lady up and over the curb....and then left. I'm sure she was reading my mind...as soon as I was done, I was going to get her license plate # and call the police. I haven't been that mad in a very long time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have you ever played Croquet ? Yup....we had a huge yard growing up as kid and during the Summer nights, our yard was full of the neighbor hood kids playing croquet. Now that I think about it, I'm not sure handing us kids all those mallets was the smartest move!

When was the last time you "Rattled someones cage" or at least wanted to?
I try to restrain myself, but there have been a few "Dear Idiot" emails originating from my work eddress of late. I think the last one was when a vendor, who apparently is on shaky financial ground, sold off their receivables to a financing entity, including invoices that we had already paid in full months previously. I got a bit hot under the collar at that one, and, yeah, I did kinda rattle some cages.

Do we have to???

Shovel?
Snow blower?

Other _____?
Up until our son left for college, the preferred method was to pound on his bedroom door until he finally awoke, then send him out to shovel while we fixed breakfast. Since he left, however, we broke down and bought a snow-blower, which has been a godsend many, many times. It still takes shoveling, though, because a snow-blower doesn't do steps and corners very well. The spouse and I usually tag-team when we have snow: he wrassles the snow-blower (which is heavy enough that I can't move it) while I shovel steps and corners, and if the snow is heavy and wet, scrape up the compressed bits for him to go back over with the machine.
Have you ever made Snow Ice cream?
Nope, there were always too many critters in the neighborhood - didn't want to accidentally get any yellow snow!
Extra Credit Question:
Are you ticklish?
Depends on who's doing the tickling!

Have you ever played Croquet?
Decades ago, when I was a youngster - a neighbor kid had a set, and we'd whack the balls all over her back yard. Not very many of them made it through the wickets, but we still had fun.

When was the last time you "Rattled someones cage " or at least wanted to ? I can't say when I last did that, but sometimes I like to rattle hubby's cage. He likes doing that to me, too. But as far as we are concerned it's always in a nice way, we don't really want to be annoying.
