    Altenweg,
    I'm a little more worried about the second part of your signature. :P Sounds painful! Remind me to thank my mother the next time I see her!

    I love it when people can make light of their lives and laugh at themselves. If you can't laugh at yourself, who can you laugh at?

    ... Everyone else.

    Believe me I do laugh at everyone else, as well as myself. Although I do have to say that sometimes I feel the irresistible urge to tell people exactly how silly they are and why I'm laughing. I do get allot of laughs on this site, some people are just to funny.

    As for the birth part, make sure you buy your mom a huge bouquet the next time you see her. I had both my kids naturally, no drugs, nothing, let's just say that it didn't tickle, and I make sure that they know it. Guilt works, although I will admit that I tend to exaggerate to them about how bad it really was. If you tell them I'll deny everything.:p

    Hahaha.
    Yeah... I watched my sister being born when I was 10 years old. Watching my mum was... really stressful. But apart from that, it's my most important memory.

    I'll buy her chocolates, she'll prefer those.

    Still, giving birth obviously wasn't bad enough to stop you from doing it a second time!

    Giving birth is strange. Once you've done it you know how much it hurts, and boy does it hurt, you swear that once that baby is out you'll never let your husband near you again. You would like to rip the doctors throat out if he says one more time "We're almost their Mrs. Altenweg" and ten more minutes go by with nothing. But somehow, as soon as your holding that baby in your arms you forget all that and decide right then and there that you will have another. The mind is an amazing thing, it lets us forget.

    Having said that, get an epidural when you have your first child, I hear they're really great.:p And never let a day pass that they don't realize the gigantic sacrifice it was to give birth, then one day you'll get your own box of chocolates. :p Great, now I'm craving chocolate.:(

    I like this! I've been in such a 'mood' lately, and I guess sometimes you really do have to think of all the small things! After all, if you bunch them all up into one big ball, and roll them down a hill, they might hit someone who ticked you off that day, lol

    Okay, I'm going to try the list... here goes!

    1. The skunks left my dog alone lastnite, phhhewww!
    2. It was a beautiful sunny day yesterday and it melted all the ice on my sidewalk,so I
    Don't slip and fall again.
    3. The Chinese restaurant returned my money for the bad food, hehe
    4. When I was sick, my best friend of 25yrs called to ask if she could do errands for me
    5. I got a very nice compliment on my new hairstyle from a total stranger at the store
    6. I finally got to meet my new niece who's already a yr and a half
    7. My neighbor fixed my gate
    8. I heard from an old friend who now has a wife and new baby
    9. My mom called from Florida to ask what she can bring me back home, yeay presents!
    10. My dog finally learned what "wink at me" means and does it now. So cute!

    All good stuff :)

    In other exciting news; I have a baby bunny!! Cutest thing in the world! :D

    Congrats KalFour, I'm a bunny pro, have 3 myself and getting another in a week or so.

    What kind of bunny do you have? Male or female? How old?

    If you want any advice let me know. Bunnies are very different pets to have, they can become a problem if not handled right, and if they are not altered (spayed or neutered)especially once they hit 6 months of age. That is why so many of them are relinquished to the pound. I am so glad that a nice person like you has opened your home and your heart to a bunny, if you know what you are doing, they are fantastic pets.

    P.S. My avatar is my youngest bunny, his name is Cotton.

    Congrats to you! That's a hard thing to do! Treat yourself to a shopping spree and buy that new sexy bathing suit. You've got it, strut it! :)

    Kal

    Hi there. I live in Australia and I am just happy to be in a wonderful loving relationship, great home, wonderful pets. This is truly positive for me and the loving caring friends I have at the moment to support me through job change. Oh it's finally raining again in Melbourne.. muchly needed ! Hope this helps.. :)

    Alt,
    He's a gorgeous mini-lop, he's smoky black. Soo cute! I probably won't get him neutered, but I'll bear that in mind if he starts getting moody later on. My parrots are terrified of him. :D
    Cotton is extremely cute by the way. Have you known many people to take bunnies for walks? Is it worthwhile buying a bunny leash or will I just look extremely eccentric trying to walk him?

    HistorianChick,
    Holy c--p! That's an incredible loss! Kudos to you. You should definitely get a sexy bathing suit and grow strutting your stuff. :)

    I've also lost a lot of weight recently... unfortunately it's because I've been ill, but it'll probably be a plus in the long run... as long as all those Easter eggs haven't made me put it all back on. :D

    Chris,
    Good for you! I love Melbourne, it'd be a great place to live. And your friends and family sound great. The people we love really are the most amazing thing in our lives.

    I just had a fantastic evening with friends, and met a whole lot of new people. We sat at a café and even though the entire group was communicating in Sign Language, we managed to be louder than every other group there! It was a good night. Hope everyone out there has something new to smile about.

    Well this is just something that made me laugh lastnite, and is still keeping a smile on my face this morning. I let my dog outside lastnite for a little while to play. She is a blondish color. Well when I let her in, she had this long black stripe all the way down the middle of her head. I have no idea what it is, or how it got there, but it looks sooo funny. Maybe she got tagged by a neighborhood doggie gang? lol Or maybe it's her way of trying to fake out the skunks that keep on trying to get her. LOL

    Hey Kal, sorry I didn't respond to your post earlier, for some reason it didn't show up under my profile, hmmm, wonder why?

    It's a good idea to get all rabbit altered, especially females because the majority will die of ovarian cancer my the age of 3 if they aren't spayed. Male rabbits become aggressive, will spray and be generally unpleasant, they also have a shorter life span if they aren't neutered. It isn't cheap, but it's worth it to have a happier and healthier bunny. I did get a fourth, finally, her name is Kilala and she is a little over a year old, looks allot like Cotton but she has blue eyes. She was rescued from the SPCA and was one of 203 rabbits rescued from the same home. She's settling in nicely and bonus, she has already been spayed.

    Have fun with your lop, they are a great breed, very gentle and very easy to tame. As for walking a bunny, hee, hee, more like the bunny walking you, they don't really follow you even if you have them on a leash. It's great if you want to take him outside and don't have a bunny run.

    Good luck with your new bunny, PM me if you have any questions, I'm a bit of a bunny expert. :)
