Awww Creeper. Did Leo keep you up half the night with his kitty antics? Or are you still thinking about that creepy video?
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-03-21T09:19:47-04:00
Good Morning Kittens!
I may be more tired than I was before I left for Banff! It was a great time though, we had a huge hot tub in our room, it was amazing! The weather was awesome, they barely had any snow, which for March is very rare! I did see a whole family kids, parents, grand parents all wearing snow pants, and I had to laugh! I was thinking, you know its 45F right? ;)
I just worked a double yesterday, wiped out in midtown- so my knee and my ego hurt, and I don't want to adult today. I want to pajama and Netflix today.
You know when you have to get ready, and you just got out of the shower...you just sitting on your bed staring...thinking about your life choices? Like...why do I insist on marrying for love? I should just marry for money...

Oh Creeper. You don't know how often I was thinking something similar this weekend. Long story short, I'm not where I should be in life and I've got to do something about it before it's too late. As far as the marriage thing goes: I'm pretty sure it will never happen to me one way or the other. To quote from a K.D. Lang song: Love was never meant for me.
Most people don't think they're where they should be. But, we've got a job, a home, friends, alcohol...were quite fortunate. (Wow----I took two sips of coffee and my optimism shot right up!)
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-03-21T09:52:54-04:00
@Creeper: Coffee does that to you? Pity I've never been a big fan of the drink. Unless you dump a boatload of sugar and cream in it.
@Creeper & Geist, you are both amazing women, and deserve happiness! Settling on a provider rather than falling in love is wrong, just plain wrong! Money will never fulfill you, you will never be able to buy enough stuff to make up for what you are missing, you will never have enough security to protect you from your thoughts! I didn't start dating my wife until I was 35, I was sure I'd be alone the rest of my life, positive even. Things work out, trust me, and believe in yourselves! The day you settle for security over love is the day that you've committed romantic suicide. True love takes time, a thing is only worth what you are willing to do to have it. Don't sell yourself short, or delude yourself that you are somehow unworthy, you guys rock! Seriously, any man would be a fool not to fall for either of you! It will happen if you're open to it, if you're ready for it. Be ready, and stay awesome!
Ok- devils advocate- what if I married rich, allowing me to bake full time whenever I wanted and split my time with that and volunteering to take care of puppies and kittens?!? Fulfilling, no? ;)
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-03-21T10:49:37-04:00
*blushes* Thank you BaKhan. That cheers me up a bit. From your mouth to God's ear.
@Creeper: Didn't you have a chance to date a mayor? (Or was it some other political figure?)
I also used to have a regular who came in with a different woman every time. He was older, very charming. He came in by himself once, said he had a realization that I was the only constant woman in his life. Said he had always respected me too much date, but if I was interested In an "agreement" I would be taken care of. I turned him down. He was a sweet guy though, it wasn't smarmy.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-03-21T11:11:47-04:00
@Creeper: That is all kinds "Ewww". That guy simply doesn't want a commitment. He respects you because you hold yourself in better esteem than some one night floozy.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-03-21T11:48:32-04:00
@Creeper, well thats up to you, certainly a nobel cause helping the animals! I think of it like this though, if you are otherwise unhappy in your life, how would that affect your ability to help the animals, or anyone else? We can only truly help others when we are in a place that we have already helped ourselves. I would think that if you have sacrificed your happiness to pursue the happiness of others, ultimately you will all end up sad. I honestly think that the animals or any other cause would benefit more from your happiness, than just money. Just my thoughts. At then end of the day, it would still be an "agreement", right? Geist is right, that is pretty ewww, even if presented in a nice way, offering to pay for "companionship" is esentially a form of prostitution. I don't judge, I know that there are many people out there that think its fine, and for them I guess it is. I think that people are just fooling themselves though, you shouldn't have to pay for your companions, friends don't cost a thing, love doesn't have a price tag.
Lord Zombitten 2016-03-21T11:52:22-04:00
Even if you marry a sugar daddy and then split your time among things you love to do, you'll still have to go home to someone you don't love. It will be okay at first, maybe even good; but over time, the little things will build up. Also, would he be marrying you for reasons other than love? If not, then he'll expect certain privileges of the bedroom variety. If so, then infidelity will probably become an issue.
Money is great, but it's no substitute for love.
Lord Zombitten 2016-03-21T12:03:45-04:00
Really, the best option is to find a rich guy whom you love and marry him. Best of both worlds and all that. You deserve that, anyway.
You know, all this talk about marrying a guy who is rich, made me think of a lot of the profiles from women I've seen on Match.com. A LOT of them are looking for a guy that is 22-30, and making $75k+ a year. Not saying it's impossible...just improbable. And a lot of them are those highly materialistic looking women(designer brands, "celebrity" inspired looks, etc). Hell, a lot of them put that they are making less than $25k/year. So you know those ones aren't in it for the love, just the money.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-03-21T12:45:04-04:00
@GM: And how many men on Match.com are looking for women who look like a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model while having the body of Donald Drumpf? Something tells me those types of women don't need a dating site.
That is also true. It does swing both ways, across all forms of dating/meeting people. There are shallow people everywhere, and I will admit, that there are certain things that instantly make me move on to someone else as a consideration for dating(primarily smoking, I've tried dating girls that smoke...I just can't do it).
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-03-21T13:03:30-04:00
I understand about the smoking. Kissing someone after they have had a ciggie is gross, no matter how hot they are. *Gives a side eye to Gerald Butler*
I'm not actually trying to make a legitimate case for marrying for money. I know it's a dead end choice.
Dating suuuuuuucks in NYC.
Hahaha- nice side eye, Geist. Agreed. :)
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-03-21T14:26:24-04:00
@Creeper: Any word on if your jacket has started it's path towards you?
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-03-21T15:02:58-04:00
@Creeper, oh no worries, I know you wouldn't be serious, but at the same time I know that there are people who are, and do. How can such a large city be devoid of people worth dating? Seems counter intuitive.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-03-21T16:57:03-04:00
Come on Mother Nature! Why you being so cold? I'm trying to reduce my electric bill and you keep plunging temperatures to the point that I'm never going to get the bill under $100 at this rate.
BaKhan- the male to female ratio is really bad. And guys know this- so they're always looking for the next best thing. And I've had several male friends say this. They just know there are a lot of single women in the city. Lame sauce.
And if trump is elected, I may be in Canada!
GM- no word on jacket yet. Just that one elusive person that said it was shipped from Georgia.
Nothing for me either on that front. I know that if either of us gets notification, the other's shouldn't(key word here) be far behind.
As for the male to female ratio here, not sure what it's like, just that a lot of the single girls I've seen/talked to, end up being really snobbish and stuck up "Kardashianites".
You know what sucks? When you get notification that something was delivered, but then you remember it was something you ordered on Friday. I can order shoes from a store, that weren't in stock, and receive them within a few days(it was after 5pm when I ordered them as well). Something not right with that. =/
Lord Zombitten 2016-03-21T18:40:58-04:00
Ô.õ
I don't see how that's a problem...
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-03-21T19:35:13-04:00
Haha, forgot I was gone for a weekday, but it turned out to only be as bad as this weekend! It was such a busy weekend and I was so sad to not be able to be here for all of it. But fear not, yon kittens! I shall make my triumphant (permanent) return the day after tomorrow! Back to full-time Corps mattress.
Also, I will try to get the app on someone's phone who has an android and get the name "Zem". Please don't take the name from me! ;)
... wait, if I get "Zem" on their phone, if I have a good permanent option to play, that will be taken! I'll have to remember to change it on theirs. Too bad "MattressZem" is too long. I'll have to think about it. Mattress is too damn long a word.
Don't overthink it, zem. For the time being, it's not like a username. It's not permanent or locked in. I change mine from mccreeper to kittencorp(s), to whatever. I play one name people all the time and have yet to have a "that username is already taken"
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-03-21T20:03:12-04:00
Well there's no overthinking for the time being because my phone, similar to the one below, that I've had for years and can't afford a smartphone, can't do anything fun like that.
Eric 'Trinkets' Baumgarten 2016-03-21T23:42:07-04:00
When is it game time?
Eric 'Trinkets' Baumgarten 2016-03-22T00:01:06-04:00
I'll check in late

Evening Trinkets! I am off to bed. Hope you get a game in with one of the KC crew.
Eric 'Trinkets' Baumgarten 2016-03-22T00:15:19-04:00
Good night Geist.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-03-22T00:20:15-04:00
I'm going to bed as well. Not that you could play against me anyways.
PLEASE MAKE AN ONLINE VERSION!!! The day that happens, I'll... I dunno, shout for joy or something.
Eric 'Trinkets' Baumgarten 2016-03-22T01:06:52-04:00
Leonidas and I are at the vet. Booster shot and microchipping. We got here before the vet did. Just sitting around waiting.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-03-22T09:26:04-04:00
@Creeper, fun fun fun.... ;) Is he getting tattoo'd as well? My pup got two tattoos, one is his "identification number" the other is his nickname Spaguce (say it like its Italian - spa gooch) short for spaguce pooche! ;)
Hahaha... That's funny. :).
No tattoos. The vet was SO happy to see him. He hadn't seen him since that awful night when they stayed open late, seeing if he was going to make it through the night. I love this place. The vet just sat and held him for a few minutes and talked to him. And when they were doing the exam, the tech kept nose-booping and nuzzling him.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-03-22T10:02:12-04:00
@Creeper, thats awesome! Its so great to have a vet (and staff) that truly love animals. The specialists that I take my pup to are awesome as well, I can always tell that they've been giving him too many treats as he barely eats his dinner when we get home! He is a big suck, and I don't mind, they can give him all the treats he'll eat! ;)
Eric 'Trinkets' Baumgarten 2016-03-22T10:10:06-04:00
Good morning all.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-03-22T10:37:12-04:00
Morning Trinkets! Hows the back today?
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-03-22T10:39:53-04:00
Aaw, I want to work at that vet's!
`
Well, hi ho, hi ho, it's off to home we go. Be seeing you all full-time again as of tomorrow. Thank God it's not uphill both ways. That uphill to Frisco, Co. is a killer. I'm already extremely sensitive to atmospheric pressure changes, but on the order of 8,000+ feet, nearly all of it in the last hour and a half, always gets to me the first day or two.
Ripping up flooring sucks. Especially when you just got home and want to sit and relax.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-03-22T11:13:13-04:00
@GM, I take it thats how you spent your night last night? I agree, flooring is the worst! With my knees the way they are, a few hours of kneeling = a good week of painful recovery!
We ripped up all the carpet in our front room, I hauled it all out to the dumpster, and we ripped up the nail boards around the edge of the room. My lower back is a little sore, my knees are painful today, and I just want to sleep.
We still have the linoleum in the kitchen, the carpet in the family room, and possibly the linoleum in the bathroom and laundry room on the main floor to rip up as well(I know we are doing the kitchen/family room ourselves, not sure about bathroom/laundry room).
Lord Zombitten 2016-03-22T11:22:53-04:00
Ugh! Linoleum is the worst to tear up. Except maybe kitchen carpet that the installer used too much glue with...
Eric 'Trinkets' Baumgarten 2016-03-22T11:28:17-04:00
Back still jacked up, but physical therapy is helping.
Eric 'Trinkets' Baumgarten 2016-03-22T11:29:34-04:00
Ripping up flooring is an awful job.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-03-22T11:41:43-04:00
@Trinkets, glad to hear the therapy is helping at least. Rooting for ya!
Oh, it's more the sticky mouth chewing that I hear....even when it's something like plain yogurt. >.>
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-03-22T15:30:47-04:00
@BaKhan & GM: Just read that former mayor Rob Ford has died. You have my condolences. He was an entertaining guy and I enjoyed reading his about his antics. He was like the harmless, funny version of Donald Drumpf.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-03-22T15:34:29-04:00
@Geist, lolz! Toronto seems like the other side of the universe here in Calgary... He was entertaining in the way that a train wreck is, as funny/sad as it was, he sure didn't have tiger blood... like Charlie...
Lord Zombitten 2016-03-22T17:03:39-04:00
I'm working with Bella to troubleshoot the issues I've had. The game with her worked; now I want to try another. Who wants to play?
You can probably email them a request for the beta test version GM. If they need testers I'm sure they'll respond.
Lord Zombitten 2016-03-22T21:57:25-04:00
Blah! Caucuses are boring! I don't care who the delegates or pricinct chairman are! Just let me vote for the presidential candidate!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-03-22T22:33:59-04:00
Hola everyone! The mattress is in the haus!
`
Flooring is bad, but ceiling work, at least high ceilings, are the worst to me. Having to keep your arms above your head holding something really heavy in a precise position for several minutes on end while fiberglass insulation dusts your face, because of which you have to wear a mask and safety glasses that get really hot and muggy and the glasses fog up constantly... never doing that again.
Lord Zombitten 2016-03-22T22:38:52-04:00
I helped a friend take the "cottage cheese" off his parents' ceiling once. They thought I was weird for insisting on a respirator after they told me there was asbestos in the mixture because the house was built in the '60s
Eric 'Trinkets' Baumgarten 2016-03-22T22:57:58-04:00
Wow. LZ, that's fraked up. Do they think asbestos is good for you?
Eric 'Trinkets' Baumgarten 2016-03-22T23:00:07-04:00
As usual, I am late to the party. I just started watching Battlestar Galactica. Wow. That's a damn good show. Just started season 2.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-03-22T23:22:40-04:00
You were working on their house recently and they still didn't care about asbestos?
Lord Zombitten 2016-03-22T23:26:36-04:00
This was about 20 years ago, but still recent enough that they should have known better.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-03-22T23:27:58-04:00
But still long enough ago there probably weren't annoying ads for law firms dedicated to people who worked with asbestos.
I keep trying to spell it aesboestos or asboestos or something like that. aesbestos.
Lord Zombitten 2016-03-22T23:28:25-04:00
They said as long as you kept it wet, then everything would be fine. I said that I'd rather not take my chances, especially since you can't really keep it wet all the time.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-03-23T00:36:37-04:00
I mean... they're kinda right. But also not really. If you constantly had it practically sunk in water, then you'd be pretty safe. Then again, tiny airborne carcinogenic needles flying into your lungs just doesn't sound like it could be very safe at all to me.
Lz-o should be around tomorrow to test play if you'd like.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-03-23T06:04:56-04:00
Morning kittens. Happy Hump Day.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-03-23T09:41:47-04:00
Good morning kittens!
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-03-23T09:44:35-04:00
@LZ, you were 100% right, you don't take chances with something like that! The asbestos is highly friable (get into the air and your lungs), even when wet you can't guarantee anything. They typically use a type of glue when they wet it to help it stick together as you remove it. Even then they still wear the suits and resperators. Its one of those you only get one chance kinda things, don't play around!
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-03-23T10:27:26-04:00
@LZ: The only way to ensure it stays wet is to submerge the entire room in water, not letting any of it seep out. But then you need to deal with water damage, and I would rather just wear a suit to clear that crap out.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-03-23T10:42:19-04:00
@Geist, it was awesome! Banff was beautiful, and really mild weather for this time of year, its been eriely warm actually. We had a really nice jacuzzi suite (it was huge! 4 person size) and that was awesome as well. Can't go wrong with two short weeks in a row (unless you're GM...)! ;)
Well- it's Missouri (we're big on that!) we're only supposed to get flurries tomorrow morning. I'm guessing they must mean western kansas

I'm so sorry to hear that PoT! I wish there was more I could say, that would mean anything. You're a good man and you're doing right by Karma, he knows how much you love him.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-03-23T12:38:24-04:00
@Geist, he sure did, he got all scooty and whatnot (thats what I call it when his butt is wagging his body, thats what it looks like anyways)! It would be awesome if you could meet him for sure, he is quite popular with the ladies... ;)
*yawn* Morning kittens.

And if trump is elected, I may be in Canada!
GM- no word on jacket yet. Just that one elusive person that said it was shipped from Georgia.
Nothing for me either on that front. I know that if either of us gets notification, the other's shouldn't(key word here) be far behind.
As for the male to female ratio here, not sure what it's like, just that a lot of the single girls I've seen/talked to, end up being really snobbish and stuck up "Kardashianites".
You know what sucks? When you get notification that something was delivered, but then you remember it was something you ordered on Friday. I can order shoes from a store, that weren't in stock, and receive them within a few days(it was after 5pm when I ordered them as well). Something not right with that. =/
Ô.õ
I don't see how that's a problem...
Haha, forgot I was gone for a weekday, but it turned out to only be as bad as this weekend! It was such a busy weekend and I was so sad to not be able to be here for all of it. But fear not, yon kittens! I shall make my triumphant (permanent) return the day after tomorrow! Back to full-time Corps mattress.
Also, I will try to get the app on someone's phone who has an android and get the name "Zem". Please don't take the name from me! ;)
... wait, if I get "Zem" on their phone, if I have a good permanent option to play, that will be taken! I'll have to remember to change it on theirs. Too bad "MattressZem" is too long. I'll have to think about it. Mattress is too damn long a word.
Don't overthink it, zem. For the time being, it's not like a username. It's not permanent or locked in. I change mine from mccreeper to kittencorp(s), to whatever. I play one name people all the time and have yet to have a "that username is already taken"
Well there's no overthinking for the time being because my phone, similar to the one below, that I've had for years and can't afford a smartphone, can't do anything fun like that.
When is it game time?
I'll check in late
*later
Evening Trinkets! I am off to bed. Hope you get a game in with one of the KC crew.
Good night Geist.
I'm going to bed as well. Not that you could play against me anyways.
PLEASE MAKE AN ONLINE VERSION!!! The day that happens, I'll... I dunno, shout for joy or something.
Good night Zem.
Looks like I'm calling it a night also
Good morning kittens!
Leonidas and I are at the vet. Booster shot and microchipping. We got here before the vet did. Just sitting around waiting.
@Creeper, fun fun fun.... ;) Is he getting tattoo'd as well? My pup got two tattoos, one is his "identification number" the other is his nickname Spaguce (say it like its Italian - spa gooch) short for spaguce pooche! ;)
Hahaha... That's funny. :).
No tattoos. The vet was SO happy to see him. He hadn't seen him since that awful night when they stayed open late, seeing if he was going to make it through the night. I love this place. The vet just sat and held him for a few minutes and talked to him. And when they were doing the exam, the tech kept nose-booping and nuzzling him.
@Creeper, thats awesome! Its so great to have a vet (and staff) that truly love animals. The specialists that I take my pup to are awesome as well, I can always tell that they've been giving him too many treats as he barely eats his dinner when we get home! He is a big suck, and I don't mind, they can give him all the treats he'll eat! ;)
Good morning all.
Morning Trinkets! Hows the back today?
Aaw, I want to work at that vet's!
`
Well, hi ho, hi ho, it's off to home we go. Be seeing you all full-time again as of tomorrow. Thank God it's not uphill both ways. That uphill to Frisco, Co. is a killer. I'm already extremely sensitive to atmospheric pressure changes, but on the order of 8,000+ feet, nearly all of it in the last hour and a half, always gets to me the first day or two.
Ripping up flooring sucks. Especially when you just got home and want to sit and relax.
@GM, I take it thats how you spent your night last night? I agree, flooring is the worst! With my knees the way they are, a few hours of kneeling = a good week of painful recovery!
We ripped up all the carpet in our front room, I hauled it all out to the dumpster, and we ripped up the nail boards around the edge of the room. My lower back is a little sore, my knees are painful today, and I just want to sleep.
@GM, sorry to hear that, speedy recovery!
We still have the linoleum in the kitchen, the carpet in the family room, and possibly the linoleum in the bathroom and laundry room on the main floor to rip up as well(I know we are doing the kitchen/family room ourselves, not sure about bathroom/laundry room).
Ugh! Linoleum is the worst to tear up. Except maybe kitchen carpet that the installer used too much glue with...
Back still jacked up, but physical therapy is helping.
Ripping up flooring is an awful job.
@Trinkets, glad to hear the therapy is helping at least. Rooting for ya!
...Tim Horton's muffins must be FULL of peanut butter from the sounds I'm slightly hearing...
@GM, sadly all of their baked goods are considered to be contaminated with nuts... grrrr!
Oh, it's more the sticky mouth chewing that I hear....even when it's something like plain yogurt. >.>
@BaKhan & GM: Just read that former mayor Rob Ford has died. You have my condolences. He was an entertaining guy and I enjoyed reading his about his antics. He was like the harmless, funny version of Donald Drumpf.
@Geist, lolz! Toronto seems like the other side of the universe here in Calgary... He was entertaining in the way that a train wreck is, as funny/sad as it was, he sure didn't have tiger blood... like Charlie...
I'm working with Bella to troubleshoot the issues I've had. The game with her worked; now I want to try another. Who wants to play?
Wish I could LZ...but I'm not part of the Android testing...and no iPhone(can't remember which one you were doing)
I'm doing Android, but I can play against iOS users.
You can probably email them a request for the beta test version GM. If they need testers I'm sure they'll respond.
Blah! Caucuses are boring! I don't care who the delegates or pricinct chairman are! Just let me vote for the presidential candidate!
Hola everyone! The mattress is in the haus!

Flooring is bad, but ceiling work, at least high ceilings, are the worst to me. Having to keep your arms above your head holding something really heavy in a precise position for several minutes on end while fiberglass insulation dusts your face, because of which you have to wear a mask and safety glasses that get really hot and muggy and the glasses fog up constantly... never doing that again.
I helped a friend take the "cottage cheese" off his parents' ceiling once. They thought I was weird for insisting on a respirator after they told me there was asbestos in the mixture because the house was built in the '60s
Wow. LZ, that's fraked up. Do they think asbestos is good for you?
As usual, I am late to the party. I just started watching Battlestar Galactica. Wow. That's a damn good show. Just started season 2.
You were working on their house recently and they still didn't care about asbestos?
This was about 20 years ago, but still recent enough that they should have known better.
But still long enough ago there probably weren't annoying ads for law firms dedicated to people who worked with asbestos.
I keep trying to spell it aesboestos or asboestos or something like that. aesbestos.
They said as long as you kept it wet, then everything would be fine. I said that I'd rather not take my chances, especially since you can't really keep it wet all the time.
I mean... they're kinda right. But also not really. If you constantly had it practically sunk in water, then you'd be pretty safe. Then again, tiny airborne carcinogenic needles flying into your lungs just doesn't sound like it could be very safe at all to me.
Lz-o should be around tomorrow to test play if you'd like.
Morning kittens. Happy Hump Day.
Good morning kittens!
@LZ, you were 100% right, you don't take chances with something like that! The asbestos is highly friable (get into the air and your lungs), even when wet you can't guarantee anything. They typically use a type of glue when they wet it to help it stick together as you remove it. Even then they still wear the suits and resperators. Its one of those you only get one chance kinda things, don't play around!
Morning BaKhan! How was the holiday off?
Morning kittens.
@LZ: The only way to ensure it stays wet is to submerge the entire room in water, not letting any of it seep out. But then you need to deal with water damage, and I would rather just wear a suit to clear that crap out.
@Geist, it was awesome! Banff was beautiful, and really mild weather for this time of year, its been eriely warm actually. We had a really nice jacuzzi suite (it was huge! 4 person size) and that was awesome as well. Can't go wrong with two short weeks in a row (unless you're GM...)! ;)
@BaKhan: I can go with multiple short weeks in a row...just not if it's a Mon-Wed that is the day off.
@GM, you know I'm only joking right? ;)
That's what they all say, until they start laughing...then you know you've become the butt of their jokes. :P
Well GM- I fly out tonight....wish my jacket would magically appear. I really thought I'd have it by now.
@BaKhan: And when you came back, puppy saw you and jumped for joy. I really hope I can visit this Halloween so that I can meet him.
Puppy!
@Creeper: Escaping the US and coming to Canada? We are unprepared!
Haha- not yet. Though I had to wait on own of his family members last night.....*sigh*.
Just going home to Kansas City for a week!
@Creeper: I just heard on NPR that Kansas and Colorado are under a winter storm advisory. Be careful out there.
Well- it's Missouri (we're big on that!) we're only supposed to get flurries tomorrow morning. I'm guessing they must mean western kansas
Hey everybody. Bad day today. The vet comes at 3:30 to put our old man down. Keep a good thought for Karma the Aussie this afternoon.
You have my condolences PoT. I know what that feels like all to much.
Thank you Geist.
I'm so sorry to hear that PoT! I wish there was more I could say, that would mean anything. You're a good man and you're doing right by Karma, he knows how much you love him.
@Geist, he sure did, he got all scooty and whatnot (thats what I call it when his butt is wagging his body, thats what it looks like anyways)! It would be awesome if you could meet him for sure, he is quite popular with the ladies... ;)
Sorry, PoT, that's rough
