Otherwise, I can predict that my 12.5 year old dog hates it, as it is a more unusual sound for him, which annoys and irritates him. He is fine with fireworks, as he doesn't care that much about what happens outside.

I need more and clearer parameters: what level of volume? In tune or out of tune? Which style of music? For how long? What about the transition from not singing to singing?

Where did you put the catnip?

I usually value time spent together, and the gift could be the company of someone, or them joining you for something which will bring you joy or a new experience.

A sign of age or independent income? If something you want to buy is relatively affordable, then why would you wait for someone else to buy it for you. Then there is stuff which is expensive or just not in the bracket for gifts, these- I always felt - couldn't be asked for, from someone else.

Also, unless you went for a certain type of job, and they asked "Do you reject Satan and all his empty promises?", and if you then said "Maybe. Does that answer your question?".. but I doubt that you did that.

That really depends what you said before that question. If they asked a yes or no question, and you replied with "Did that answer your question?", that might not be useful.

A bit late to this. @heythroplib.bsky.social never awarded degrees the range of people who studied at Heythrop College, post -1970, was wide,and there were also more non-Catholics studying there than one might assume.however, I might have handled a book the incoming Archbishop might have used.
