When we were little, my younger brother and I found two baby mice in the barn. We immediately scooped them up and put them in the vacant hamster cage. (Our hamsters had recently run away.) We also fed them the food that was left. Unfortunately, the little guys didn't last two days.
maybe they were too little and still needed milk.
Yeah, that's what we thought in retrospect. It's funny, we lived nearby a park and every summer various bands would play there. Well, when the mice started experiencing seizures, I became concerned and wondered, "Why are they shaking?" to which my little brother innocently replied, "They're dancing to the music." Little did he realize they were dying.
awwwwwwwww
Okay, so here's the day's toll already:
Tink: Poison Ivy
Polly: Rat bit child
Stagey: Reminded of loss of pets
Me: GD sinus headache from hell
Anyone else wanna bitch and moan?
I'm always up for a good bitchfest!
Let's see.....Oh ok, why does there always seem to be more traffic when you're rushing?
And why does the express lane always move slowest when I'm in it?
My rush hour beef is why does the car behind me think I can go faster than the one in front of me?!!
I want one of those scrolling signs in my back window that says:
"I CAN ONLY GO AS FAST AS THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME IS. BACK OFF BITCH! HAVE A NICE DAY. "
Our fingerprints don't fade from the lives we touch.
Puppies are babies in fur coats.

I wasn't bitching OR moaning. Just relating a story. Incidentally, my pets always seemed to die on me. Fish, birds, hamsters, you name it. Once the fishbowl froze over, but that's more my mom's fault. She insisted on keeping the temperature at 60°, even in the dead of winter. But the truth remains, I couldn't keep a pet rock alive.
ok here's the latest: the health dept is picking up the rat. it will be held in quarantine for 10 days before being released. the school system will no longer allow the rat at the school. The health dept and my dr are researching whether rats usually carry any diseases or germs that would necessitate antibiotics. Otherwise, the school and I are to keep an eye on his finger to make sure that there is no infection starting. If an infection starts, then he'll be put on antibiotics.
Ugh! so much drama over a little bitty rat bite.
and stagey i can't keep fish alive either. or plants. anything else, i have no problem with.
hope the boy is ok Polly!
I just had the most glorious pedicure EVER. I went to a new place that just opened, and wow! Manicure is fine, but oh that pedicure was heaven, and I despise people touching my feet! :)
Do you guys remember that episode of The Simpsons where Fat Tony runs a racket to supply the school with rat's milk?
There's hundreds of rats all hooked up to milking machines in the back of his restaraunt.
So gross.
he's fine except for being a dumb@$$. he went back to class and everything. I love the kid but i'm telling you, as soon as he gets home, he's getting the "What WERE you thinking???" speech!
I remember an old episode of COW & CHICKEN where cow hatches a plan to earn money by donating at the local milk bank. They give her a cup, she goes inside the room, and re-emerges with the glass full. Not long thereafter, Chicken follows suit. Yeah, I've always wonderd what chicken milk tastes like.
A friend of mine sent me a picture from the wedding after-party where you can kind of see the Rhino....the spike of hair coming out of the front of my head.

When I was 13 I had a hairdon't that my grandmother lovingly referred to as "the lobster," because my entire head was shaved save for the bangs which were twisted into two long antenna-like pigtails.
Hah....i can pretty much do that with my hair now. I dunno, whenever I get sick, depressed or bored, I just lock myself in the bathroom and destroy my hair. I have always hated my hair, so it is is sort of therapeutic for me to chop it all of. Its like I drop all the emotional baggage going on in my life and everything feels lighter.

Why do you hate your hair? I wish I had yours. I can't stand mine. It's too straight to do pretty much anything with it. At least you can have really short hair without looking like a hedgehog. Then again, people are always complimenting my hair (and perfect teeth). It's like what my grandmother used to say, "What you dislike about yourself may be envied by others."
your grandmother didn't say that!
SM2..don't forget your swamp ass.
You callin' my granny a liar, bitch?
It's bubbling swamp ass, boobs.
**shudders**
Got the pee shivers, taz?
