I'm sure it's in the genes, that special something that makes one person a social butterfly, flitting from one personality to another; they seem to blend in with everyone. They are so popular and have many acquaintances.
On the other end of the totem pole, there's the clinging vine personality.
They seem to operate with a bird's eye view on life. They can only accept one person as a close associate at a time, and they are so desperate when dealing with that one person, until they actually do the unthinkable; they drive the person away from them with their clinginess.
Then the clingy person usually have a great meltdown, accusing the social butterfly-type of abandoning her. The butterfly-type is so surprised. It was not her intention to leave anyone out of things. She just enjoy the company of everyone, a real people-lover.

Doggy Dayz
I heard my dog, Choca, barking playfully. I wondered what was he after.
Now Choca shares the fenced-in backyard with his adopted canine brother, Slick.
They each have their own house to sleep in, but for some reason, they prefer sharing one house at a time.
Sometimes they'll sleep in the igloo-shaped house, and at other times, they'll use the regular dog house. Yesterday morning, Choca was the first to come out of the house and stretch, ready for another day. Slick was apparently trying to get another nap.
Choca waited for Slick to come out to play with him for as long as he could.
Then he stuck his head in the house and started to bark playfully to Slick, his tail wagging all the while. No immediate response from Slick. Choca stopped for a little while, then he resumed his mission; trying to get Slick to come out and play! So cute, if you're tuned in to dogs like I am.

How Do I Rid The Garden From Nutgrass?
Nutgrass is a pest that can't be stopped with ordinary measures. You need to go an extra mile to be rid of that. Over the years, we've chopped it,
dug it up by its roots, tilled as deep as the tiller would go, then raked it
off and burned it.
The nutgrass would quickly pop back up in the garden as if absolutely nothing had been done. I really think we need to work on the garden plot for at least one year to get rid of the nut grass once and for all.
We were advised to treat the plot with rock salt when the garden is dry,
then barely wet it down with the hose. Not too much water , or the salt
will become weak and ineffective. Or, as another source mentioned, that
sugar would produce the same results as the salt. Either method, if they work would not hurt the vegetables if we plant shortly after the treatments.
