I got to pet a dog today
Hi Leslie! Although I knew that there would be editing (just from watching Judge Judy promos and seeing manipulation), I never knew they would go that far! And I only expected them to be in the promos! You must have signed something saying that you had no right to be represented accurately. (I bet you signed a lot of things!) Anyway, I think you are being too hard on yourself. You didn't come across badly, I didn't think. Perhaps I'm prejudiced because I know you, but you came across as a strong, confident woman.

How many animals did you hug today?
We always had dogs growing up.
My oldest son has been asking for a pet rabbit for a few years.
Years ago, We had a pet Venus Fly Trap.
Lynn, I'll bet your husband has never hugged your parrot.
When we got our baby ducks (and they were old enough to take baths) and gave them a bath, they would dive underwater for a long time (without any help from us!) and it was very fun to watch.
Oh, and by the way, while newborn birds can't fly, studies where young birds' wings are restrained until they're adults have shown that when they're old enough, birds can fly without having had any prior practice. It's all instinctual.
A bit of nature trivia there.
You know, I've always loved ducks. When I lived on Long Island I would go to the duck ponds with loaves of bread to feed them because there wasn't much to eat in the winter.
and thanx for the nature trivia-thats a weak area for me in Trivial Pursuit...[/i]
that question is more puzzling than the 'which came first?' quandry. I believe to find out why it was crossing the road, you need to first know the chicken's habits, diet, emotional and suiciadal tendencies, body weight, etc. The chicken should also be put to a stress test, risk and psyc test. Was it a chicken or a turkey? Did the person who witnessed the incident have a good reputation for telling the truth? Did he/she have good eyesight? How could he/she tell it was a chicken?
Of course the question may just be like a 'why do we walk barefoot' question. We say it's comfortable and there's nothing more to it, the chicken says he/she just wanted to get to the other side and that's that. It's a puzzle but maybe we're putting too much thought in it. Sometimes, to understand something, you have to look at the quandry in a very simple and open way.
among my legendary sayings at work (with hard headed juvenile deliquent special need kids) was one time when, in my frustration at the kids not listening, I said 'Gentlemen, do you know why the chicken crossed the road? BECAUSE I F***ING TOLD IT TO!!!!!"
got lots of laughs and is talked about to this day...
I'm afraid i'm more often profane than profound...
Heehee, i feel like a cartoon character when i do that...
and what are 'ratings on web indexes'?
what do taoists say when they hit their thumb with a hammer?
Well, I've never hit my thumb with a hammer but I've cut my leg with a saw when trying to saw wood (fortunately it wasn't a power saw) using my foot to hold the wood down. I used the wrong saw. I often prick myself on a hook when I'm fishing in the morning 'cause my hands are numb and a bit clumsy ('cause they're numb)
When I do hurt myself, I don't yell out or anything. I just give a little grunt. Kind of a silent "mmmph" sound.
When I make a mistake (mainly when I break a string or saw something off the line), I do utter an "oh [email protected]".
How did a pingpong table fall apart? Gosh darn it!, those things are built to last! Same with croquet sticks.
-I was sure my feet were broken-My kid and a friend he was with immediatly went into hysterical laughter over it, until they saw the pale look on my face...I ended up getting wrapped up in bandages all over my feet and legs-looked pretty cool-and never sreamed until i got in the car and shut the windows
-the club was afraid i'd sue them, but i'm a nice guy-should've asked for lifetime membership, though...
amazingly, i've never had a broken bone or anything needing hospital attention in my life-except for stitches on my chin from a skateboard accident at 16-story for another time...
I tried two times to have a venus fly trap, and each time my poor plant slowly turned black and died. Guess that is what I get for buying them at walmart. Venus fly traps are wonderful little plants for children to observe, btw.
btw, went to the zoo t'other day, and what y'all said about ducks oiling their feathers & such, penguins do the same thing...
As for the Venus Fly Trap, I don't think ours caught too many flys but we cooked a steak and cut it into little pieces (when I say little, I mean less than a 1/4 inch thick) and froze it. Every day we would feed it a piece of the steak and it stayed alive.
Man, if I move with you, will you feed me steak? I dont eat much more than a venus fly trap does...
