Grey? Well, I wouldn't be making any hamster fur coats if I were you. I am reasonably sure grey is not in this year. Or is it gray?

You know Pio, cats are larger than hamsters....

A fact certainly not lost on mama and papa hamster.

This news item should make the BigK very happy.

Koalas

koala melt?

Q: How many koalas does it take to make a koala coat?

A: Depends on how fast they work.

Yes, BigK will be very happy. Who was it that got upset with BigK for hating koalas?

I just had to look it up. It was larousse who was so upset at BigK because he hates and mistreats koalas so much. She will be dismayed to learn of the fire; still more dismayed to hear of BigK's delight.

But then, larousse has disappeared so BigK may be safe.

Hi everybody,

Been off for awhile from posting, but 'lurking' so I won't have to catch pages and pages....did not want my 'blues' to taint the thread....

I don't know what's up with my WS...I would have been less surprised had he filed for D....instead he gives me info. re life insurance in case he dies?????!!!!

Can't figure out my WS...and don't want to...sounds like his GUILT though maybe giving him real trouble...and making it unable to fully enjoy life in lalaland! ...or it's part of his strategy to have me eventually break PLAN B!

...didn't want to threadjack...but, for the curious...have a separate thread on it!

Todd and Pio....you seem to be discussing everything... except how you are doing? ...that may be 'telling' in itself!

(((((((((((TKO)))))))))

Bye for now.

Math humor...funnier than I thought it could be. When you skip over most of the math part of the posts anyway.

LAROUSSE, LAROUSSE, come out, come out where ever you are. Oli, oli. in come free!

Maybe that last part will tweak her curious mind.

Pio, maybe you're thinking on too large a scale for your hamster pelts. How about finding a different customer base. Perhaps you could market hamster pelt underclothes. Men & women would love the warmth, the soft coziness provided by the little rodents velvet like fur. Make sure you teach them to sew with the direction of the fur otherwise things might get a little...prickly.

On an army base I lived on at the beginning of my marriage there was a riding stable. I thought I'd take a couple of lessons. While getting to know the horses I was petting one's nose. So, so soft...I got kinda lost in the softness & remarked..."I'd love to have a pair of shoes made out of this."

They were horrified & watched me very carefully from then on.

[ringgg]....[ringgg]...

kettle: "Hello?"
pot: "Hello. This is pot. You're black!"

For some reason I cannot fathom, this made me think of Britney Spears.

Pio...I am talking (maybe too much!) <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />...don't take it personal...to each his own way....I respect YOUR WAY! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

...just worried a little about the hamsters...don't think they have a clue about you PLAN! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

...go easy on them...would you please! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Luna,

My name is ToddAC and I represent the United Hamster Workers, or the UHW as it is commonly referred to in the press. We represent the 43,000 hamster workers worldwide. It is repulsive that business men such as Pio can run sweat shops in SA. As with every other sweat shop, these owners hide behind third world countries which have no interest in ensuring the dignity of hamster workers. We visited the factory and were dismayed to find the hamsters had literally been worked to the bone and were bleeding profusely from their little paws.

We have lodged protests with the SA government, the UN, the US government, ASPCA and PETA.

I should add that the UHW is not against cats per se, but is against cats eating the defenseless hamster workers. We contend that Pio was negligent or even complicit in letting the neighborhood cat eat several of the unfortunate workers.

If you and others want to ensure humane treatment of hamsters, look for the "Fur made Fair" label in the coat or stole you consider buying.

Anything to say in your defense, Pio? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

Pio has gerbils for brains.

Yup - - that's right.




Pio has GERBILS for brains.




G - E - R - B - I - L - S!!!!!!

Cind....

uhmmm...I am missing your point here... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

...let's see....gerbils are a type of hamsters....so Pio has hamsters for a brain?? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

Oh my...don't think that would go over too well with Pio! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

...but I have a feeling there is more to your comment than meets MY eye... (..or, NOT!)

...maybe just missing out on a 'cultural reference' I am not familiar with.... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

...don't suppose you could consider elaborating it, Cind?

(....I know...I know....it's just not the same if you have to explain...)

Hi Pio, Todd, Luna, Nams, Cinders.

Hmm. Good point - Where is Larousse.

I do NOT hate Koalas BTW.

I see a lot of possibilities in a cat fur coat.

According to the BBC.

Gee I hope that one sailor the US has stationed there will have placed himself on high alert. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

Gerbils for brains? I'll have you know I am just as smart as any gerbil! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />

How am I doing? For some reason I am filled with anger. I'm not sure if it that today is our wedding anniversary, the holidays or just the full moon. Mostly I just swallow it. Last night I told WW I was angry. We talked a little but not much. I told her that I have never felt this alone at any time in my life since high school. The past few days have been a little hectic too. I'm really not sure why I am angry. If WW has done anything wrong during this time, maybe it is complacency. I do think she is trying. I also know I don't trust her. Yesterday I felt exactly the way I felt during her A when she would run off for silly reasons and if I asked her that something was going on, she would get huffy and accuse me of not loving her.

Yesterday's trigger was when she called me from the gold club house (I don't know for sure if it was the club house or not - just that is what she told me). She played in a tournament in the AM and had lunch afterward. I knew she was going to do that so never expected a call. I had thought she might call from the house later. Anyway, it reminded me exactly of the times she would call me in the office right before her trysts with OM so that she could be certain of where I was and sure that I would not catch her.

For some reason I have had OM in my dreams the past few nights. Yesterday I was thinking that maybe the reason I was feeling this way was that something really was going on. I certainly don't trust WW but haven't had any real reason to believe she is back in her A or into a new one. I did ask her. She denied it. I also told her that I wouldn't expect her to confess if she were so it is a real dilemma.

I did say last night that I feel that we don't really communicate that well at the moment. Neither one will tell the other what they are really feeling. We are kind of like the black knight in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Arms hacked off and we say it is only a flesh wound.

Anyway, I guess I don't really feel lonely. But I do feel alone. Maybe that doesn't make sense. It is hard to put into words.

So Pio - which one of you will blink first?
