Ask Me Help Desk - Just a little chit chat for who is left.

Gah internet was down again for a week... Have a very Happy Birthday Bear!

I hope I'm not too late =S

Not at all unky, thank you :)

I take it your internet is up and running again?

Yup! :)

I'm warning you though, I might be absent for 2 weeks as from the 26th. Going on a cruise, on the 'Costa Romana'. The tickets had some 25% off or something like that, I'm not quite sure, but it was a good deal. My family never got on one, and I can already see that it'll be all fun! I hear that there is a computer room in there, so, I'll try to check in now and then :)

Oh nice that'l be fun :)

Well enjoy your cruise if we don't talk before then :)

I do hope my internet stays up at least until the 26th :rolleyes:

And oh, it's been 3 weeks now that a monkey here strays (is that the proper verb?) around the neighbourhood... been entering the house once, put a mess with the perfume bottles of my mum, tearing a book cover from my room... We called the police, they informed the wild life company and they said that they'll take care of it. We didn't hear anything for the next 5 days or so, concerning the wild life or the monkey, so we thought that the monkey was taken care of... but no, I saw it today eating fruits... :(

I understood what you meant after reading further

'theres been a stray monkey wandering round the neighbourhood'

Lol lazy wildlife people
Just curious but what kind of monkey is it?

Ah! Thanks for that! :D

It's like an ordinary chimpanzee to me...

Very much like this one:

Ahh right, yes does look quite mischievous (sp)

No worries on the english unky, your english is very good and I always understand what you mean, even the bits your not sure if you used the right words :)

Well, it seemed tamed at first sight... and guess what? One of the new neighbours (been here for a year now I think) called him and he came to her! :eek: She said they'd go dancing while my other neighbour (who just clearned a plot of land next to our house to make some cultivations) was freaking out.

Once or twice, we tried to shoo it off the yard/house, and it seemed as if it could leap and bite >.< And my poor dog tries hard to follow it on trees... but of course, it can't climb. Once, it got quite high (50 cm off the ground) and poor her, she was trembling like a leaf just as she looked down :rolleyes:

Having a monkey in the neighborhood would be awesome!. to an extent

There was the monkey once, somewhere in the states, that as a pet, got out of its owner's house and attacked a woman, tearing off your hand and poking out her eye.

There was one in the last couple years of a pet Chimp that turned on its owner... chewed her face off and if memory serves me right rippers her arm off. She died of the injuries about a year later. Don't remember the names or details... but remember the indicent.

Monkeys or apes may seem cute when they are younger... but they all get older and really are wild animals... that are VERY strong compared to humans.

Gosh I am tired. This week has been killing me. I had a total break down Tuesday night. Just came home and cried. Tired, stressed and broke. I am better now. But seemed like every day I had to buy one more thing for another person. Then I find out about this big office party at the new place I had to cook for. Not to mention I get home so tired I can't even eat so I lost weight. This morning I was out of bed at 3:00am to wrap some last minute gifts of my sons. How crazy. I was in bed and couldn't stop thinking of when the heck I was going to get it done. So I just got up and did it. Now its done. Today I have a bottle of wine and the hustling is over and done with. Phew.

Hey sunny, one more day then its over :o

Glad to hear your feeling better now, tis the season to be stressed an all that :)

Big hugs to you :)

Aaww.. thanks bear. I am sure I was just venting to myself. All good now. Just cracked a cold one. Have a family member on her way over with a gift for my son. That will calm him down a bit. He is very excited today.

Did you do anything for your birthday? Wild night out?

So sad. It was the owner of the monkey that actually died. The one that was attacked had amazing spirit! Poor woman. My heart went out to her.

Hey, just wanted to say hey to everyone and Happy New Years in case I don't make it back.

Another thing, I was reading my local paper and seen that a woman robbed a gas station and she had a puppy with her and she was wearing a white shoe and a blue shoe. They found her wearing a white shoe and a blue shoe and a puppy... It's like she didn't even try.

Thank you.

I'm feeling the love!

Wow, congrats red! What a wonderful way to start a new year... :)

Thank you doula, the proposel happened in the middle of us cleaning up burst pipes,standing in 2 foot of water,not quite romantic but team work at its best.

Brendan had planned a romantic evening,but I guess the moment arrived and he took it.

We had talked about it and I was expecting it,but not when I was wearing wellingtons.

Congratulations, Red! What wonderful news. :)
