I do not mind dogs, but I prefer cats.
I have a relative who loves dogs and hates cats.
I have another relative who always owned cats, then decided they wanted a dog and now does not like cats.
I had a cat who liked dogs but not other cats.
I knew a dog that hated cats and would chase them, and I knew a cat that hated dogs and would chase them.
I knew a farmer that liked cats and dogs, but the dog accompanied him sheep herding which the cat was bad at, so the farmer preferred the dog on that basis.
Then again, I knew a cat that travelled on the bus with his owner and helped him to busk.
Just backing up what you were saying about cats and dogs.

Originally posted by Rondec People can get used to anything -- even abdominal pain.
I am not so sure about this.
I have a relative who suffers continual abdominal pain and they are not used to it.
Also, Mike was still troubled by arthritis on page 2.

Originally posted by swanlefitte As for water a friend did a double-blind taste test and correctly identified 5 brands all refrigerated over night.
I am agreeing with what you are saying about water.
But I knew someone who could not tell the difference between waters and coriander tasted metallic to them.

Originally posted by BigMackCam Another member earlier in the thread mentioned fine, fly-away hairs on someone's head... It's a common scenario
I worked with someone once who had this problem. They were old and their hair was very fine, and when you sat behind them you could see the fly-away hairs wavering slightly in convection currents and it was very distracting.
I am agreeing with what you're saying in principle, but I don't know how common a scenario this is. I have only ever known one person like this.

Originally posted by FozzFoster Ok here me out:
On a bright day, lie on your back on the ground with a ball cap over your face.
With most ball caps, there's little holes on the top of the cap.
I would like to try this but I do not have a ball cap.
I have a relative who collects ball caps. He has ball caps from many countries around the world and they are in his wardrobe. Sometimes he wears them, but mostly they are just for collecting.
I emailed him and he said there were not little holes in the top of most of his caps and so I cannot agree with you.

Originally posted by swanlefitte I saw a discussion today on why so my photos have blue and orange. "It's a fad."
I do not think it is a fad so I cannot support your statement. But I will not quibble over whether you saw a discussion today and I hope you keep taking blue and orange photos.
I knew a photographer once who took a blue and orange photo and it was nice.

Originally posted by Digitalis it wouldn't be surprising to find if Vincent Van Gogh had been taking the heart rate control medication based on Digitalis (which makes its first appearance in published medical literature in 1795).
I cannot condone this dangerously untethered propaganda. William Withering's 'An Account of the Foxglove' was first published in 1785. You propose Vincent Van Gogh's grandfather – Vincent Van Gogh – being born AFTER the publication of Withering's pioneering digitalis tome, but it was published four years PRIOR. I therefore cannot get behind your views on bokeh.
