[xsmommy]

words fail me, robt.... you always have that wonderful ability to just leave me sputtering.

[TheGrimReaper]

but i am LMAO anyway!

OK, everybody.... better stand back; this could be dangerous to bystanders and onlookers!

[Robert A Cook PE]

"LMAO"

.... Yep. Sure enuf.

Ya know ---

If that A*s she refers does ever fall off, she's got everythong right there to sew it back on again: threads, hole punchers, needles, and a multi-holed much felt warm fuzzy box to keep all her raft stuff in.....

[RikaStrom]

Robt Honey, you better head for the hills!

ROFLOL

[VRWCmember]

Did you get the one like this?

That's the one that I thought sounded most like what you needed.

[Slip18]

I have used that hole punch on leather. That was in my old leather-making-outfits day. You know, the stuff with the fringe.

I don't know how well it will work on felt, though. It might rip the felt.

[RikaStrom]

Oh sure, now someone's awake. Where were you at 4am when I was walking the floor? :-)

[Robert A Cook PE]

You're a floorwalker?!?!?!

I'm shocked!

(Well, actually, I'm an engineer, and it appears, you're a floorwalker.)

[Slip18]

Well, good morning to you, Miss Rika!

I've been awake for the past hour or so waiting for the diatribe from the regulars in the morning. LOL!

[RikaStrom]

LOL! I'm only a floorwalker when I can't sleep Robt.

I apparently scratched my cornea yesterday and now my eye is pretty much swollen shut. I'm telling you, it looks like I caught an elbow to the eye. OUCH.

And because of that, I couldn't sleep, so there I was, 4am and no one to talk too. (pout, sniffle, cry... oh wait, that's the eye talking, nevermind)

[RikaStrom]

LOL, I have been checking in periodically. I've been playing with the new puppy. She's loosing her baby teeth so I have to be careful where I step. They're sharp little things!

[Slip18]

Eyes heal quickly. How the heck did you scratch your cornea? A paper cut?

[xsmommy]

well geez miss rika, how was one to know you were up at that hour? i was up at 4:30, my regular time. Sorry about your eyeball.

[hobbes1]

t'aint nawthin that a sawzall can't fix!'

Damn Straight.

[xsmommy]

i didn't get the punch that Vast pictured there, but a single punch that spozedly will go thru leather and i am hoping it will work on the felt. i haven't had a chance to test it out yet.

[Slip18]

Those baby teeth are not as sharp on the floor as they are in your hand or arm. Dang, those little things are sharp.

How old is she now?

[Slip18]

Those single punch ones are a lot easier to use, and it should go through felt.

Your Brownie Project sounds like fun.

[xsmommy]

not as sharp as the permanent ones. xspup will still bite us, on occasion.

[Slip18]

A Sawzall is a girl's best friend.

[Slip18]

Those little razor sharp teeth can do some damage to the skin. Thank goodness their little jaws aren't as strong as a teenage dog!
