As long as you all remember who the Queen is, it's all good.

Bow before me my minions. :)

Where the badge? It disappeared long time ago. Thinking the queen stole it.

Where the badge? It disappeared long time ago. Thinking the queen stole it.

Moi? Steal? I am the Queen, I own a vast land, a castle, jewels, a crown, silk dresses and diamonds galore. I don't need to steal.

You don't want to go to the dungeon, do you? ;)

I was already there many times before, not going back...

Night Stringer...

Wow, I leave and the site goes down for a few minutes... night.

Didn't know that I was that important? Hee hee... night... really right now!

Goodnight Stringer.

Goodnight Stringer.

Nice avatar Joe... looking good

If the badge is that big I can see why Sonic lost it. It just got left behind by inertia.

Wow I can't believe the other room filled up!

Hello guys. How are you? I'm here.

I'm looking at apartments, there is a four plex, it's really nice! Has upstairs & downstairs and allows pets. I'm definitely getting a dof. I like to feel safe :)

I can't wait for the big move. I'll be out of internet and telephone for a while...

I am sure it will be a good move and another great start for you and your family.

Hope the move goes well muddy

Also never heard of a dof do they make good pets?

You will have to find the local library and check in until you get fully settled. :)

I hope the move works out well for you.

Lol obviously I meant dog, I was just typing too fast.

I'm still looking at places, I'm going there on Sunday and looking at places and putting down resumes.. fun stuff, fun stuff.

I will hopefully have a place by June, my friend is letting me crash at her place before then. It's funny how we met though. I used to do telephone sales 2/3 years ago, and we started talking and she told me where she lived and we just kept talking-- really weird. She never bought anything.. sometimes we joke around and tell people we met on lavalife. Haha!

Best of luck Muddy! If you need any help with your dof, let us know!

Best of luck Muddy! If you need any help with your dof, let us know!!

Okay, so that makes Shaz a Dog expert and Bella the Dof expert?

Good luck, Muddy.

Bella can take the dofs, they are tricky creatures... very hard to train.

Hi everyone! I haven't been on for a long time and am trying to get back on here more. How is everyone?

Hi Zoe, good too see you back!

I have had a crazy couple of weeks! Don't suppose anyone knows how long it takes to get results from a biopsy?

Bella can take the dofs, they are tricky creatures... very hard to train.

I heard that they originated from the Klingon Empire! :p

Well seeing as I am the expert, ** in a strictly business voice** They originate from the Carniferous Bovarious. Very intelligent, and hard to train creatures. Make wonderful companions, gentle and loyal. Coming in many shapes and sizes, the most desired and popular is the black and white bovine coat.

Hey guys! I have some time to catch up today. So far anyway. I am not thinking about anything I refuse.

Welcome back Zoe.

Awwww, those poor dofs

The face on that dalmatian dof :(

'why did you have to cellotape a balloon to my wang, it'l never make up for the ones you took away when we went to the vet :('

Hi sunny, how have things been, how's the job hunt going?

Sadly bear its pink even! How manly is that?

How are you cutie?

hi sunny, how have things been, hows the job hunt going?

I have been distracted a bit from it with some things going on with my dad. Plus we are getting a new home. A totally new one. I am so happy about that. I can't wait.

I'm getting by sunny, about all I can do the moment :)

Everybody seems to be moving you, muddy, even I'm packing me bags in a month :)

Sorry to read about the problems going on with your dad and that... I can't find a word to describe how disgusting 'it' is.

im getting by sunny, bout all i can do the moment :)

everybody seems to be moving you, muddy, even im packing me bags in a month :)

sorry to read about the problems going on with your dad and that..........i can't find a word to describe how disgusting 'it' is.

Well I am actually only moving right next door. We own a parcel of land and are just getting it developed for a new home. I won't be moving for a few months. But even so its only across the lawn. How easy is that.

Ya I feel so gggrr... with her and what she had done to him. I will be going to see him on Sunday. I have no intentions on looking at her or speaking a word. Some time this weekend someone has to tell him he isn't moving with her to this new home she bought for "them" that he is moving to the assisted living home. I can't bare the thought of his reaction. I pray I am not there I am not good at things like that.

Quite a convenient move, not really in much of a scenery change :)

quite a convenient move, not really in much of a scenery change :)

No scenery change for sure. But I like it there and wanted to stay in that area so it works out great for us. When its ready I will post pictures. I am so in love with the kitchen. Super nice.

:) good

:) good

Sorry for disappearing on you bear. I was in heaven having quiet time and a friend showed up. She comes and complains about her boss and I sit and laugh inside. Then she runs off and I don't see her until her next drama story.

OK I will be back later. I have to get Gavin ready for bed and settled.

Bed? Wow! What time is it over there Sunny? It's only 5pm here.

I'm thinking dinner, you're thinking bed. The world is too big. ;)

Hey Alty, how are you feeling by the way? I lost track of your thread because I have had some issues myself and haven't been here much.

Its 7:00 here. I put him down at 7:30 or maybe 8:00 since there is no school in the morning. He is having a snack right now. I run a pretty tight ship here with him. He is much better natured that way and we all love a happy kid.

I'm surviving Sunny. I'm not doing great, but I'm not dead, so that's a good thing. Still taking tons of pills and still waiting for a permanent fix, but I'm doing okay. Thanks for asking.

What's going on with you? I didn't know. I hope you're doing okay and that all is well.

Sydney and Jared have a relaxed schedule on the weekends. During the week they go to bed between 8 and 9pm. On the weekends they can stay up later, up to 11pm depending on what's going on. Sydney usually doesn't last until 10 though. She burns off a lot of energy during the day. Jared is hard to get to sleep and really hard to wake up in the morning. I think it's a pre-teen thing. ;)

Right now we're waiting for hubby to get home. We're going to have a quick bite to eat, then we're going to check out a few garage sales in the area. After that it's home time, bath time for the kids and then movie time, complete with popcorn and cuddles. Sydney usually falls asleep within the first half hour, but Jared will last through the whole movie. We're watching Chipmunks, the squeakqel. Yippee! ;)

For some reason our power was out for five hours. It just came back on. Trying to sleep but can not before I work tonight N shift.
Really sunny and bright here.

Although wife is being a real pain in my butt right now.
She gets frustrated and angry way to easily and she gets herself worked up over nothing most of the time.

Tires me out.

No worries sunny, take care :)

Sunny, I try and put my daughter down around 7-7:30, it's now 10:35 and she is still up and around. Asking to watch cartoons. Her last excuse was because she was hungry and wanted scrambled eggs :rolleyes:

How's every one doing this fine Friday evening/afternoon/morning?

Yay.

Does that mean you are having a good day JH?

Scrambled eggs sound really good right now!

Bella... um... can you make me some? Please? ;)

I'm here!

Question:

Who is going to convince Ben that Alty needs an forum of her own accessible by invite only so we can talk about ANYTHING?

Open mind required for joining.

I just ate ramen, and I'm regretting it. Upstairs apartment, summer-ish weather, and hot food makes me too warm. Looks like I'll have to have ice cream for dessert ^_^

There's always room for ice cream. :)

I like ramen, the taste is great, but it sits in my stomach like lead after I eat it. I always regret it.

I kind of like the filters. There's really no reason to use bad words, it makes this place the wonderful place it is. :)

Of course I'm still bitter that they wouldn't let me type Shih tzu the way I wanted to. ;)

I'm fine with the swear words being censored. What I don't understand are words like d!ck being censored. It's a very common word used for a part of the male anatomy, and it makes reading some posts in the AS forum difficult.

What is ramen?

Let me Google that for you:

Ramen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramen)

PS: Isn't it past your bedtime Stringer?

What is ramen?

Blasphemy. It's the cheapest meal on the planet. Costs about 10 cents a meal. It's also fairly healthy. Not to mention, very yummy.

http://twobites.files.wordpress.com/2007/12/ramen.jpg

http://zmpr.files.wordpress.com/2009/10/ramen1.jpg

And loaded with MSG.

So it is a dry chicken noodle soup? With dried chicken or chicken broth?

And loaded with MSG.

Not good however I have to say MSG tastes good. :)

Basically. No real meat, just a packet of crushed bullion-like powder to add to the water.

Aaaaah I see, a quick meal.

Yep, cooks up in about 3 minutes on the stove. Quick and cheap and yummy, and perfect for someone like me. Poor and lazy.

Prefer these myself

Do they give you super powers?

No they're just super cheap :D

Plus if you don't eat them for long enough they grow arms and legs, fashion a cape out of kitchen towel and start flying around the kitchen. Its kind of cool

no theyre just super cheap :D

It's really interesting over in Literature to talk about Charles D**kens. When I saw that filter snafu I fell out of my chair. It came out Charles ens.

It could be worse.

One site I was a part of had a filter that changed the 'offensive' words into 'inoffensive' words even if they were part of another word. We finally started saying "hecko" to each other out of habit. :)

That sounds like it should be some form of offensive echo, a hecko.

One forum I was on changed every expletive or naughty word into "milkshake" :D
Made for some interesting posts.

I use the terms penis, willy or wing-wang :p

The alternate spelling of 'come' another that is frequently censored here, mostly in AS.

It does make things confusing when the word is blanked out, but funny trying to picture what word they wanted to use. Lol

Haha, I remember a site blocked the word porn, but not the f word. Being a defiant girl, I decided to make a post to show how ridiculous that was...

I got banned

I have noticed that. It makes it interesting trying to figure out if the censor program got it or if the person didn't realize he/she forgot to type a word.

Subscribing... Hi all those who are here at the moment :)

Hey guys.
Work on a Saturday should not be legal.

You are right Sunny. I am heading off to my camp to enjoy some good drinks with good friends on the lake. Enjoying the sun and warm weather! Can't wait!

How rude to rub that in Bella.
I will be having some drinks when I get home for sure. To ease the tension. I will be facing my dads girlfriend in the morning. Lucky for her I will have my son with me so I will have to keep my mouth in control.

Don't give up Sunny! I know you can so it! :)

Have a good time Bella :)

Sorry Sunny! :o

I wish you all the best. You can hold your toung, but make sure to say everything that needs to be said. She is a nasty woman, and In my opinion needs to be told exactly that. Although by the sounds of things she doesn't have much of a conscience so it would probably be said in vain.

Thanks guys. Its only just begun I am afraid.

But like Unky said enjoy yourself today. Its clearing up nicely and warming here. I will be outside doing something when I get out of here. It's a good darn day for nothing. That's what I declare today... National Nothing Day.

you just made me like you a whole lot more ^_^

Awwww shucks, way to shut me up :D

I have noticed that. It makes it interesting trying to figure out if the censor program got it or if the person didn't realize he/she forgot to type a word.

Yesterday someone posted a thread "My girlfriend ed someone else" or something along those lines.

I spent a few moments wondering who Ed was and why it mattered. :rolleyes:

It does make things confusing when the word is blanked out, but funny trying to picture what word they wanted to use. lol

There needs to be a message that pops up saying something along the lines of, 'one or more of your words were blocked by our censor. please fix it before submitting this post.' it would make things a lot less confusing.

The filter should also be upgraded so that poor emily and charles don't end up losing most of their last names.

Penis is allowed. Maybe we should rename Emily and Charles to Penisens. :)

Or not.

LMAO!

That was short but straight to the point.

Love it! :)

True. That poor girl, she's a man killer, but not in a good way. ;)

I was just taking a break from working on the yard, but I guess I took too long. The wind has picked up and it looks like rain. :(

Why is it that when I finally have a bit of energy the weather doesn't want to co-operate? :(

The kittens are DETERMINED to make it as hard as possible for me to give any of them to new homes. The past couple days, mop has attached himself to me. He climbs up the couch to be next to me and falls asleep curled up against me, purring.

Are four kitties so much harder to take care of than three?

The real question is "Are 7 kitties so much harder to take care of then 4?" :)

I know. I know. If I talk myself into having 4 kitties, then it'll eventually become 5, then 6, then 7. I just love them and wish I could keep all of them.

Someone smack me in the head every time I think about keeping them all.

I can't smack you in the head. I think you'd make a great "crazy cat lady". ;)

I'm going to cry when they find homes.

I have a sweet little old lady across the street, she lives there alone ( son there sometimes) my guess mid 80's or so. Had about 30 cats. Cats everywhere

My great grandma was like that. She fed all the neighborhood cats. My grandpa removed more then 2 dozen feral cats from the house when he moved my grandma closer to family. He got her a dog to keep her company, but she still fed the neighborhood cats.

We had a crazy cat lady at the top of the street... then she died. I heard the cats ate her

I just found your little corner Alty and thought I would come and say hello. Hi all :)

Hello QLP! Long time no see :)

I just found your little corner Alty and thought I would come and say hello. Hi all :)

I thought about giving you a link, but I wasn't sure if you were ready for the crazy side. :)

Welcome to the Discussion Boards, QLP. Before Alty gets a chance to rename you, would you like to chose your own nickname or stick with QLP? :D

I'll be brave (or is that foolhardy) and see what Alty comes up with. :P

QLP, how are you doing today?

I'm good thanks. Son is home, daughter is home, daughter's boyfriend is here. Hubby is bringing some friends home. Apart from the fact that I seem to be cooking enough to feed an army it's very nice to have them all here.

And how are you today?

Put the troops to work. It's the Army way. :)

Doing pretty good. Trying to decide if I like the latest version of 'Weather Alert' our local TV station has switched to. So far it is annoying me.

I'll happily set the troops on with a lot of things, but when it comes to the cooking I like my kitchen too much to let them loose - I have seem the results before!

Having just started the dishwasher from son's card game and daughter's prom night last night, I'm having a Kool-aid moment: OH YEAH !!

Having just started the dishwasher from son's card game and daughter's prom night last night, I'm having a Kool-aid moment: OH YEAH !!

What is kool-aid (not something I'm familiar with in the UK)?

Something about a large jug of red liquid bursting through a wall and shouting 'OH YEAH'

What is kool-aid (not something I'm familiar with in the UK)?

A powdered fruit juice mix. They had a huge ad campaign in the 80s.

Here's one of the commercials:

YouTube - Hey Kool-Aid! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Odt39d6LDDg&feature=related)

Ah, makes sense now. Hope you enjoyed your kool-aid moment.

Hi QLP, glad you found us.

So you're being brave and letting me come up with a nickname. Seeing as your username is only three letters long, this isn't going to be easy.

Why do I want to call you Kewpie, but spelled QP?

Hey, I shortened it! That wasn't easy! ;)

Lol, souds good :D

Hi! Actually trying to find arguments against:

Images enslave us, words free us.

Any suggestions? :(

I was having a discussion with a friend last night about false idols, and as an example was that there was an image of jesus, so when people with about worshiping jesus or god they have an image in their mid, even though that might not be what they looked like (if they lived) - along the right lines or did you have something else in mind ?

Um... what I have now are:
Images do not confine us, but help us to push our imagination
Reading a book encloses us in a world, where we are 'forced' to follow what the author is telling us
With now abstract paintings, we cannot say that images enslaves us, but to think wider
Psychologists use abstract images which may have multiple interpretations, and hence are not confined.

Oh, yeah, sorry I misread what you said before and thought you were 'for', my mistake :(

It's OK, I'm chatting with friends at the moment on MSN... it's a hard task that topic :(

Agreed I think you have the harder task, if I were your opposition id say something along the lines of you read the words and use your imagination to picture it and your imagination is limitless.



On your side maybe a picture (image) is worth a thousand words, hence a word is only worth 1/1000 of a picture, therefore images have more capability than words,

Am I making any sense or just waffeling bull crap? :)

Not at all, thanks for your input. I'll see how they react to this point :)

EDIT: Great many thanks! :)

Probably provoke somekind of reaction :D

It's the second round for debate. My team passed the first one quite easily, but this one, we'll have to work seriously...

Good luck :)

Thank you Bear :)

Lol, souds good :D

Images communicate more precisely than words. The perfect example is the diagram that goes along with the assembly instructions for anything.

Another example: A Renaissance painting of a moderately pretty lady seated with her hands in her lap and a half-smile on her face is a description of the Mona Lisa and totally inadequate.

There's your first point.

I'm worn out... I'm glad to have seen your post Cats.

Now I must go to sleep or I'll fall asleep in front of the monitor...

Cya guys! :)

Kewpie/QP is fine lol. In case you are wondering QLP stands for Quiet Life Please - coined when I joined a forum for dealing with noisey neighbours, thankfully something that has quietened down now (fingers crossed it stays that way). How about just Q then I can pretend to be a James Bond genius :P? Mmm only thing is if the James Bond thing caught on someone might end up as P. Galore..

Nothing can be worse than the pine needles I had to rake up today.

Yup... Sydney Australia... come on down.. could use the help for sure...

No pine needles here, but there are bindies... annoying things, but nothing to worry about it you have good footware,. Lol!

So when can I expect you?

I'm on my way! *sigh* I wish.

Bindies... are those like burrs?

I'm on my way!! *sigh* I wish.

Bindies... are those like burrs?

Sort of... In my opinion they are kind of like mini pine needles... a lot smaller... about 2mm?

Is this what they are?

Is this what they are?

Nope... sorry... its like some evil spikey thing that's in the grass during summer and stuff, and sometimes other seasons too... it's a weed I guess... similar to burrs... we have them here too... but bindies are a little more annoying, because once they stab you, they are so small, so quite hard to get out.

Ohhh I get it. So gardening in flip flops probably wouldn't be a good idea eh?

Ohhh I get it. So gardening in flip flops probably wouldn't be a good idea eh?

Nah nah... that's fine... just not barefoot... or bare anything... ;)

Australia just got less appealing for me. I LOVE being barefoot, especially in grass. I don't think I could handle being somewhere where that wasn't possible.

:eek: :eek: :eek:

Bare anything gardening...

:eek: :eek: :eek:

Wrong thread time!!

Meet you guys there.

Bindis are just like any other weed , a little spray and their gone , I don't have any in my lawn so barefoot (or bare anything;) ) is fine... just sayin' :cool:

There's this little thing like when you lift your leg. It's called "aiming."

Will it kill ants? Army ants? ( I have no idea if that's what they are really called, that's what we used to call them when we were kids). The ones with the black bum and black head but red middle.

It takes away their cover so the birds can kill them.

Oh good to know. I just found a HUGE ants nest in one of my planters.

Has any one seen Shaz around today? Wonder how her dad is doing...

Any questions may have already been answered in the Pest Control forum stickies.

Thanks! I was making my way there.

So... I am back at the shelter, it's great being back. However; I am not coming home empty handed. I am fostering a dog named Kallie. She has been with us for a while, and she is such a wonderful dog, so well behaved, no aggression issues, house trained, a total gem to be around. But because of her breed people are either afraid of her, or don't have the experience with the breed. (want her for her mean looks etc... )

She may just find her forever home with me, but shh don't tell my mother.

Oh and the best part... her and Lady get along like best friends! They look a like too.

Aww... what a cutie... :)

Nice one Bella... :)

Thanks Balcky. If I did take her, I'd have to changer her name. My cousins daughters name is Kallie lol. Spelled the same way and everything.

HELLO FRIENDS! I found this thread too. :) hooray!

Haha! What would you call her? I miss having a dog... Oh well... one day.. :)

I don't know. Funny because usually the name just comes to me. I'm open to suggestions.

What mean looks? She looks like a sweetheart. What breed is she? She looks like she has at least some boxer in her, and maybe some great dane.

I never did tell you guys, did I? I got chased by a great dane several about a month ago. I was walking to the store to get a new tube for my bike tire, and met mrs. meany-butt. She decided that it was HER sidewalk and I wasn't allowed to walk on it. She must've gotten out of her house or yard. It looked like she was nursing, or had just recently stopped. Gorgeous dog. Came up to about my ribcage, and I am not short. Was not happy with me.

The kind of not happy that makes you not turn your back on an animal. It's not easy to cross a major road with your back to traffic. Drivers don't like it. Didn't stop me from admiring her from across the street, though.

Wow that's a close call! Those are big dogs. She must have been protecting her babies.

Kallie is Am staff, supposedly pure bred. She is a baby, but has the pit bull mug, and that scares a lot of people.

It's the doggie in your Avi right? If so I think you should name her Beatrice ( I saw you were open to suggestions) You can call her Trishy for short. :)

The one in my avi is my Lady. The one in question is the pic I posted a page or so back. I'll post it again. But no, no Beatrice.

HELLO FRIENDS! I found this thread too. :) hooray!


Have I told you lately that I love you? :) *runs to chit chat thread* see you there!

LUCILLE! I like Lucy. :) Something cute.

Ohh ho ho! You found me! :)

Hmm I like Lucy, Lady and Lucy... hmmm... anyone else?

You have no idea. She came up behind me. I felt something following me, so I turned around. She couldn't have been more than a couple feet away. As soon as she knew I saw her, she started barking. That get-off-my-turf-before-i-eat-your-face bark that dogs only give when they mean business.

Maybe I'm weird, but pit bulls don't scare me. Dogs don't really scare me. There are just some that you can TELL it's not safe to approach. Most of the time, all you have to do is stay calm and back away until you're out of their territory. I've never met a dog intent on attack to the point of giving chase.

I think it's the people that don't know how to act around dogs that are afraid of them. I've seen people try to pet a strange dog without warning it. I've seen people come up behind a dog and start petting it. I've sen people ignore barking and laid back ears. I've seen some really stupid people.

You ALWAYS let an animal sniff you before petting it, and make sure they're OK with it first. My neighbor's dogs know me and love me. They're both huge sweethearts that I see pretty much every day, usually twice. I stop to pet them every time I see them. I STILL let them sniff my hand before trying to pet them.

Unless you've lived with an animal for awhile, you just can't KNOW how they'll react on any given day. Maybe they're cranky. Maybe someone was teasing them. Maybe they have excess energy they haven't been able to burn off. Until you know an animal's every moods, you don't know them well enough to approach them without warning. Even if you've known an animal it's entire life, you still need to respect it's moods.

And I turned this into a rant.

Nighty-night friends! *YAWN*

Lady and the Tramp

Here we go again... M is the tramp... looking for a Lady... Lol!

Hey kids, what's up?

I'm feeling a bit down today. I could really use some cheering up.

No, there's nothing specific wrong, actually, everything is great, but for some reason I'm in a slump.

Anyone have a joke, a funny picture, medication? ;)

Nighty-night friends! *YAWN*

Night night...

I hear you! I love the breed. I have two, well one and a half. The oldest Max lives with my parents which is literally across the street.

He kind of wanders back and forth, and seeing as he is 10, where ever he flops down is where he stays.

He was my first rescue I got him when I was 16, and I had no clue about the breed, it was a learning experience for both of us. Now I can't see myself owning any other breed. Especially because of the bad rap they have.

Did you see my new addition Alty?

Here's a joke for you:

Glad to be drunk
A completely inebriated man was stumbling down the street with one foot on the curb and one foot in the gutter. A cop pulled up and said, "I've got to take you in, pal. You're obviously drunk."

Our wasted friend asked, "Officer, are ya absolutely sure I'm drunk?"

"Yeah, buddy, I'm sure," said the copper. "Let's go."

Breathing a sigh of relief, the wino said, "Thank goodness, I thought I was crippled."

Did you see my new addition Alty?

I didn't read back. What did you get? Did you get a bunny? :D

It's one page back. Have a look, and I am in the market for names.

I posted more baby pictures ^_^

She's beautiful. :)

I don't know why, but for some reason the name Sophie is the only thing I can think of when I look at her.

Congrats Bella. How old is she?

She is 4. I am only fostering her for the time being. Her and Lady seem to get along wonderfully. Fingers crossed. She has been at the shelter for a while now, and she was adopted but she had an obedience mandatory clause, and she was not supposed to be living in an department and we also specified that she did not like cats. Well 2 weeks later she was returned, the new owner said that she barks at the cats and the people down stairs were complaining, and the land lord said she had to go or they did.

The worst part was, they had people lie for them, telling us they lived in a house.

i posted more baby pictures ^_^

Awwww! They are just too cute. I wish I could take one. I've actually been dreaming about Alty-cat. It's getting a bit freaky.

R even said he'd love her. He actually loves cats, we all do, they just make R and the kids sick as dogs. Ha, ha, dogs. Get it? ;)

I lost my funny. :(

Here we go again... M is the tramp... looking for a Lady... Lol!

:cool:

:cool:

Any luck M?

Have you found your Lady?

I refuse to answer that in case it stops the other ladies flirting ;)

Why do some people do anything to get what they want?

There are restrictions for a reason.

Jasper wasn't recommend for a family with kids or another dog and Jared was 3, I was pregnant with Sydney and Indy was at home waiting. The only reason he got to come home with us was because the shelter people know me, know that he'd be in good hands and that at the age of 4 months, with the proper family, he could thrive, and he did, still is.

Too many people don't know what they're doing though. There's a lady that always comes up to me when I bring Chewy to the school to pick up the kids. She wants a beagle so badly because of Chewy. I asked her about her experience with dogs. She doesn't have any. This would be her first dog.

Beagles are great, if you can get through the first year and if you keep them busy. They need to work, they need to use their skills. If they don't, you get mass destruction and a very unhappy dog.

Right now there are 3 beagles in our shelter. :(

I refuse to answer that in case it stops the other ladies flirting ;)

Question withdrawn... flirt away... :p

Have we not met M? I'd flirt with you on your wedding day. Heck, I'd flirt with you on your honeymoon, if you'd let me come along. ;)

Really, I lost my funny. :(

Ya... WT. :eek:

Where did everyone go?

Was it something I said?

Was it something I didn't say?

Does my breath smell? Did I fart? Wouldn't I know it if I had?

Sigh.

Come back!!

I was talking about my kitties in the other thread. And squirting them for trying to eat my cord. Spot and aura are the only ones that haven't gotten wet. Oh, and watching alty-cat hop like a bunny across the room. Now zoe's curled up on my legs.

It was really warm out today, so all the windows are open. It made the kitties hyper.

Hyper kitties are fun.

I love the kitten stage, the clumsy, feet too big for their bodies, pouncing on things and then running away scared.

The puppy stage is fun too.

All babies are fun.

I miss the baby stage. Maybe I should... um... get another puppy!

You thought I was going to say "have another baby" didn't you? Psych! :)

That Locoweed is growing in my garden bed somewhere,

Just yesterday, my cat came in the house,

He rode a skateboard round the room, and back flipped in the air,

Then ran behind the fridge and kissed a mouse!



My dog has found the weed as well, I have no doubt of that,

He built an airplane from a packing case,

Then flew around the yard until a man in Air Force hat

Demanded he report back to the base!

LOL! Good to see you Mag. Where have you been?

Long time no see... Stranger...

Me thinks that's a fair assumption. ;)

i don't know. Funny because usually the name just comes to me. I'm open to suggestions.

She looks very regal to me like she should be 'Princess' or something.

Thanks QP, she does look regal doesn't she. I am at the shelter right now, and she is laying here beside me. Perfectly content just being in someone's presence.

She has the classic beauty of Sophia Loren. Sophie does seem to fit her.

I hope she finds a forever home quickly whether that is with another family or with you. :)

I hope so too. More so with me. I've been calling her Sophie, I think she likes it :)

Being her second time around, she may not get a third chance at a home. In a way I am hoping that she finds a forever home, but in a way I hope she doesn't, that would be the sign I need to make her mine.

I'm having a hard time justifying keeping her with no job. At least with fostering it will give me an idea what I will be spending in food and all the other extras. She is coming home with me for her first night tonight.

Your giving her valuable experience that will hopefully help her find the home that is right for her.

I hope all goes well tonight. :)

Does anyone know a site where I can watch movies (with out downloading them), that doesn't keep starting and stopping? (I think it's buffering? )

Um... no... It's better that you download the movie if you want to watch it in one go. If not, then you wait for the movie to load completely, then you watch it.

My connection being really slow... I know what you feel when clips stop... load a little more, play like a fraction of a second to stop again.
