Here you go, folks -- (link) - decline Oct 2, 09:37 6
- first snow is always highly enjoyable and a bit depressing - DaneDukeNuuk Oct 2, 09:57
- there were cars in today with snow on them. that's not allowed. -- nm - Reagen Oct 2, 09:49
- Take that back. - Spawn Oct 2, 09:39
- Don't take this the wrong way, but please leave until you are ready to share positive news. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 2, 09:38 2
  - Like finding a way to pipe that sh*t over here -- nm - con_carne Oct 2, 09:41

TWUG, your blanket statement about "all modern architecture" is silly - con_carne Oct 2, 09:34 [Image] 8
- That fits right in with the type of architecturd I mean. It's an ugly building. -- nm - TWuG Oct 2, 09:40 7
  - Totally disagree. He also did the Pritzker Pavillion here and I think it's great. -- nm - pmb Oct 2, 09:42 1
    - Oh, I hated the Disney Hall at first. Seeing it in person a couple times and also watching that Ghery documentary changed my mind on it 180 degrees -- nm - con_carne Oct 2, 09:49
  - Totally accidental misspelling of architecture, but completely appropriate. -- nm - TWuG Oct 2, 09:41 4
    - What I'm saying is your insinuation that its useless to even try for fear of becoming outdated is wrong. - con_carne Oct 2, 09:47 2
      - I think the most recent style to have any staying power is art-deco. Everything more recent begins to age badly. - TWuG Oct 2, 09:53 1
        
        So what? Every new architectural style has its detractors... that is kind of the point. How does this translate "the lesson is never try?" - con_carne Oct 2, 10:01
    - I thought it was intentional, actually -- nm - znufrii Oct 2, 09:42
deevs... - Mel Profit Oct 2, 09:28 5

- He is around in game and mentioned your email was received. -- nm - Spawn Oct 2, 09:28
Of all the things I'd have to teach a new (to us) dog to do, "go inside the house" was not one of them. - kelly Oct 2, 09:28 27
- I wonder if she was abused (or originally an outside dog that was "taught" not to go inside) -- nm - spamlet Oct 2, 09:30 26
  - She's a stray so we know nothing about her previous life, unfortunately. - kelly Oct 2, 09:33 11
    - "that is my slave name. call me Barks-At-Squirrels." -- nm - Reagen Oct 2, 09:50 1
      - Kunte Kanine -- nm - zork Oct 2, 10:36
    - hell my dog took a week to get used to the new house, and he knew us already. - groiny Oct 2, 09:39
    - it must be so confusing and overwhelming for them. if she seems happy, i would probably let her be. can you keep the door to the yard open? - Andie Oct 2, 09:35 4
      - The door has been propped open for a while. I've been in and out of the house so she can explore. Nathan has stuff to do out here so he is occupied. - kelly Oct 2, 09:38 3
        
        She's very happy to get belly rubs on the grass. (Which is a little tricky with the spay incision) - kelly Oct 2, 09:41 2
        
        I am so excited for you guys - she sounds wonderful -- nm - Epiphany Oct 2, 09:50
        
        yeah, just give her some time to adapt and get used to you. She'll be following you inside in no time - decline Oct 2, 09:45
    - That's good. She -- nm - spamlet Oct 2, 09:34 2
      - s a lab mix, right? Hopefully that will work in your favor. - spamlet Oct 2, 09:35 1
        
        Yeah, lab mix. -- nm - kelly Oct 2, 09:35
  - You make sure a dog like that is chipped as it very likely will bolt at some point. -- nm - Spawn Oct 2, 09:31 13
    - Yeah, they do the chipping as standard and we are 100% in agreement. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 2, 09:34 12
      - Yep, both the cats were chipped in the shelter. -- nm - Meg Oct 2, 09:37 4
        
        Microchipping is part of the adoption fee, which is nice. -- nm - kelly Oct 2, 09:42 3
        
        Make sure, absolutely sure, tgat the chip is registered. Our vet in Ohio chipped 6 of our pets, told us the chips were registered. - TWuG Oct 2, 09:46 2
        
        The vet registers them for us. - kelly Oct 2, 09:48 1
        
        Good! -- nm - TWuG Oct 2, 09:54
      - Awesome. -- nm - Spawn Oct 2, 09:35
      - (We are?) -- nm - kelly Oct 2, 09:35 5
        
        The chips, yeah, I thought...we had that with Murph as well. - Will Hunting Oct 2, 09:35 4
        
        Yeah, a stray is more likely to go after a rabbit or whatever as they may very well have lived off of them in the past. - Spawn Oct 2, 09:42 2
        
        We have a rabbit family under the deck next door so rabbits are always in our backyard. Murphy was torn between staring them down warily, or once in - Will Hunting Oct 2, 09:45 1
        
        hee - such a great story -- nm - Epiphany Oct 2, 09:52
        
        Oh yeah, the chip is great. - kelly Oct 2, 09:39
I've got an Elvis and a Priscilla in this class. that feels like fate. -- nm - Reagen Oct 2, 09:24 3
- that's awesome, those aren't common names. -- nm - Andie Oct 2, 09:29
- People still really name a child Elvis? I honestly had no idea. -- nm - Spawn Oct 2, 09:28 1
  - It's Canada, the odds that kid is named Elvis after Presley is probably about 50/50 with Stojko. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 2, 09:36

sigh. my firm is in trouble because of a really stupid and obvious thing we didnt do. - Truman Oct 2, 09:15 6

- *suspends for 2 games* -- nm - Goodell Oct 2, 09:19

Want to hear a funny story about filling out the paperwork for the baptism? - Andie Oct 2, 09:14 13
- :) -- nm - Diva Oct 2, 09:23
- giggling. - Epiphany Oct 2, 09:18 7
  - my mom is 73 and swims, does yoga *and* is a home-visiting 'trainer' for really elderly people living at home. - Andie Oct 2, 09:21 6
    - that is amazing. has she been active like this her entire life? -- nm - Epiphany Oct 2, 09:29 3
      - yes, she was a basketball star as a teenager. and she always swam, and played softball and stuff. never anything too much, but always something. -- nm - Andie Oct 2, 09:32 2
        
        (she doesn't look like it though, she looks very mumsy. :) ) -- nm - Andie Oct 2, 09:34 1
        
        :) -- nm - Epiphany Oct 2, 09:53
    - my mom (at 68) just joined a gym and got a personal trainer. I think it is so cool. -- nm - decline Oct 2, 09:23 1
      - nice! -- nm - Andie Oct 2, 09:24
- "Please do not use an "X" to mark your choices, instead use a cross." -- nm - Spawn Oct 2, 09:16 3
  - Bah, "X" is a valid St. Andrews cross! -- nm - Ender Oct 2, 09:53
  - As for your IM, L6! -- nm - Spawn Oct 2, 09:17 1
    - i am probably be ear-marked for hell, right now. -- nm - Andie Oct 2, 09:18
