I'm hearing you Terri. Photo of mr buttons is posted on my profile! check him out!!
That's one ugly cat. :)I'm not a cat person. I had one once that I loved dearly. After he died about 12 years ago I wasn't interested in getting another. He was my one true cat love. Irreplaceable.
I am a dog person only now.

Awww I love those cats that are so ugly, they're cute! Lol, I showed my nephew the picture and he kissed my tablet three times. So Mr. Kitty has some fans :)
If anyone is on FB he is Buttons Stewart St Vets. There are some great photos of him. Definitely real Andy, you should see the look on Santas face, lol. Ho w cute Allie. Never been a cat person Terri, just dogs.
Laughing my head of at the comments, what a crack up!
I have no real idea what a baby shower *is*. That's the obtuse ignorance of one who... stays away...

Yes she did. Made me giggle.

I was actually invited to a home water birth this year and my answer was... "No. Just... no!"I know the only reason I got invited is that the invitee hoped that if she invited me then my best friend whom she considers her best friend would be more likely to come. I told my bff a decisive, "Hell no." And she laughed before declining (I actually think she would have gone if I agreed out of morbid curiosity but, as I told her, I may love some vaginas but hers isn't one of them).
In other news, got my taxes done today and I owe over a thousand to Uncle Sam. I curse stupid employers who call you a "contractor" and happily skip to the bank leaving you to pay your own self-employment tax (aka Social Security and Medicare).
Which leads is to Valentine's Day. We were gonna stay home but now I am in such a pissy mood that we are gonna go out drinking so we can bash the American government while slurring our words (and spending the girlfriend's refund).
Oh, and she loved the kitten bouquet!
OMGHome water birth??? Why the hell would they invite anyone, I don't agree with over sharing and this is a massive over share!!
Drinking sounds like a great way to improve your mood!! $1000 bucks owed sucks!

OMG! The horror! What is wrong with some people!
on the tax. gee, I thought our $80 bill for tax this year was a pain. $1000 is much more of a pain than $80.

I wouldn't even do that for my own kids. I remember being shown the water birth pool in Craigavon hospital on the tour they give prospective parents. The nurse was like "bring your trunks just in case" and my wife and i looked at each other: Thankfully she was about as keen on the idea of me splashing around in a tepid bath filled with her shit, blood and amneotic fluids dressed only in speedoes and a motorhead t-shirt as I was.
Ah the miracle of childbirth...

I'm going to quote from my all time favorite TV show (Will & Grace) on childbirth: "the whole things a horror".
I love this thread. We went to a lecture on Panda Porn at the Zoo for V-Day.
Lisa - I refuse to hide. I did nothing wrong. And I refuse to see myself as a victim. I am a survivor. My attacker died about 3 years ago.Mark - dating at any age is a bloody minefield! LOL
As for blind dates, my friends stopped trying that when we were in our twenties. After one disastrous evening, after which I promised to kill anyone who set me up on a blind date in the future.
I am reviewing this promise as I figure people's judgement has got to have got better as they've got older....hasn't it?
Good on you Margaret! That is such an admirable outlook! But I still wouldn't trust my friends for a blind date, lol.Alicja I definitely can not imagine under what circumstances I would view any birth, let alone a water one of a friend!!! Wtf is wrong with people, some things should remain private, lol.
And on the private theme : TIM, my eyes, my eyes, lol. Thanks for the visual.

Really? Of all the women in all the land, that is who you'd pick? O_0"
My husband would definitely agree :)
I have to say Simona as cats go I think he's pretty cute! But I'm definitely a slobbering boxer dog girl, lol.
I've got a wire-haired dachshund whose photo is in my profile. Plus, in my garden live a number of turtles of an endangered species: but they don't know it, and continue to reproduce themselves; our neighbors cat like to spend time here, also (the dog always tries to seduce her), and the two columns of my porch are covered in jasmine hosting a COLONY of sparrows. I love boxers, I wanted one of them but then I found Billi, without pedigree because he has crooked teeth and just one testicle (but the best nature EVER) and I had to bring him home.
Haha: Simonas Menagerie. Pets are always happy to see you Simona regardless of your crappy day. I love their unconditional love. Our boxer use to greet us at the gate every afternoon, with the same silly grin on his face shaking his head from side to side like he was laughing at us. And every afternoon without fail we'd sit in the car and just crack up at how funny he was. I loved him like a child, and miss him terribly.
:) I ALWAYS look frwd to this game, that & when my adopted Finns play.
I love watching it on the olympics, always the big games & the final for sure since I can't remember. Have watched it live too, which is brilliant as the speed & power is exhilirating which doesn't come across so much on the tv, once a NHL game at Madison square garden & a few times in Norway in what was a converted barn really but rampacked with yokels & cow-bells etc :) & VERY up close n personnel which was a great experience.& we're off! 2nd Period
давай России
:)
I wont mention the "good" goal with 4mins to go then ;) right, back to supporting the Flying Finns then.
I'm not a big ice hockey fan, ( I don't think there are many in Britain) but I have to admit this was a superb game. I was rooting for USA and it was edge of the seat stuff. How they kept their cool in the match winning stage I'll never know. More of the same please. Winter Olympics, you've just got to love it!
It was a great game, Haydn. Very entertaining. The Olympics are an awesome event.
Agree with you, Andy. That goal should have counted. I've seen the replay probably 20 times already, and it looks like a good goal every time. I'm glad it wasn't a medal match. I'd hate to see a call like that factor into medals. They need to tweak that rule they used to overturn the goal.

Shoot-outs blow horse balls. What was the point of playing the actual game when it comes down to one guy in a skills competition? Me no likeee.

Damn! I missed all of the Ice Hockey! I have been so caught up with things here on the farm that I barely gave the Winter Olympics a thought. Until you guys mentioned the hockey I had forgotten about it.Watching the Ice Hockey is THE reason i watch the Winter Olympics in the first place. *mourns*
I really haven't gotten into the Olympics this year. My wife on the other hand has been glued to the screen.
happy wrote: "I really haven't gotten into the Olympics this year. My wife on the other hand has been glued to the screen."The same with my husband...happy, we should meet and play cards while waiting for these games to end!
happy wrote: "I really haven't gotten into the Olympics this year. My wife on the other hand has been glued to the screen."Same with my husband and me, as you, happy. We'll watch a little bit, then after 15 minutes or so, turn off the tv or switch to something else. It seems it's just the same thing over and over. 15 minutes of iceskating or skiing is enough. We'd like to see some of the more uncommon sports, such as, at one Summer Olympics I enjoyed watching the fencing on tv.
Ah, Spring! Last year at this time, we noticed that our copy of The New York Times wasn't at the end of our driveway as it should be. Copies of other newspapers were there, but not The Times. Spouse happened to be in a meeting and griped about the missing papers. Another person in the meeting who used to live near a different edge of the forest that our property backs onto told him that the culprit is a vixen. She snatches the heavy-duty paper in the blue plastic sleeve to line her den. Warmth and water-proofing in one steal.Today's Times was still on the ground but has teeth marks in it. I guess the Sunday edition is a little too heavy for Lady Vixen. But I have faith in my wild animals. I have no doubt that I will be reading the New York Times online until her kits wean :-)

The weirdos are the ones who video it...who the hell are they going to show the video to?
I can only imagine Margaret, that once the child is born they then try and gather family and friends around so they can all watch it together. I hope they don't hand out popcorn!!!

Does anyone know who Hugh Fernley-Wittingstall is? I remember he did a cookery show once where he made a pate from a woman's placenta and they had a party after the birth for her friends to eat it.

I pull out my potty mouth on that one too. It gives me the irrits big time.
As for baby showers. I ahve only been invited to a couple. Both of which I declined. Not because I don't like babies. I like them just fine if they are nice babies. I don't go because I have more going on in my head than a need to talk babies and children for 5 hours. And most of the time these women are only inviting people to get presents.
Even if I had kids I would not go to a baby shower.
