The Hive is (realy) Dead! Long Live the Hive Mind!

Yup, lots of kids! We are a happy and oftentimes raucus family, always ready to laugh.

Hey! One of those kids was flippin' me off!

 

[CanadienneBacon]

More like she's picking her nose. I just cannot get that kid to stop doing that! :\

"feeling" being the operative word...

pretty much

We have this one black guy at work who, if his hair gets longer than about an inch, thinks he's got an afro and shaves it all off.

About the same with me. I'm getting bad hippy-vibes if my hair gets more than few mm long.

More like she's picking her nose. I just cannot get that kid to stop doing that! :\

Try smearing jalapeno oil on her fingers . I promise she won't pick her nose for a while.

I was about to type something witty but then I remembered this is the internet and people can get in all kinds of trouble with the child cops even for the most benign of comments.

So, ah, ayup. Little kids are grand, aren't they?

 

[Blackrat]

Ayup. Lucky me I don't have kids so I don't need to worry about that SO much .

I prefer cats. They are simpler .

We have a cat who adopted us two years ago. Her name is Portia. Portia is an obese blue-cream siamese with alarming blue eyes and dense soft fur. She is very quiet and very non-assuming. Poor cat takes all kind of abuse (if you clicked on the picture I put up, you saw how many children we have) and has never replied in kind. Lovely creature.

I am trying to find a home for Puss here on the island before we move to the States next week. I may have lucked out and located a retired lady whose dog just had to be put down and is wanting a new pet. We will miss Puss and I know she will miss sleeping next to me on my bed at night, but hopefully we can spare her a trip to the Humane Society. The airlines informed me that is a crap shoot as to whether they will be able accept a pet for travel in their cargo hold. Anything below 45 F and it's a no-go. We are unfortunately connecting in Chicago where the average Jan/Feb temp high is something like 20 degrees F. Rather than risk it, we decided it would be better to try to find a family for her here.

Sorry for rambling. She's been a good pet. We like her very much.

Though I will say that I would like to own a german shephard if ever we get a dog. Yes, a german shepherd and a pug dog. I got to pat a pug dog once and since then have been taken with how soft their fur is.

I've heard that kids that pick their nose in Indiana don't get dessert.

 

[CanadienneBacon]

That's because the "treasure" they dug for is dessert?
