It is often photography equipment and my wife starts barking. :roll:
This is a funny thread for me - my wife collects dolls and participates in a doll-lover's blog.... She says they have threads that say exactly this same thing, except in their case the wives don't want their husbands to know they ordered another doll! :) So "guys" - make sure your wife has a hobby/habit also!
:D I prefer when they don't ring the bell. It just gets the dogs barking. I can trecognize the sound of the truck as it comes up the street.
I like it when they ring the bell. When we had dogs they weren't barkers so they didn't go into fits if the doorbell rang. But they did go to the door to see was there. The Post Office doesn't ring the bell and a lot of times I won't know they left a package on the front porch until the next morning when I go out to get the newspaper.
