I buy my husband colorful ties - but I will NOT buy him one that is pink.

[Slip18]

I love to watch our animals play. That is hysterical, but me thinks you will be digging that squeaker out in a few hours.

Doggie CPR is the same as humans, BTW. Just in case . . .

[Slip18]

Holy moley! Swallowed it? I hope it was a big dog.

[Slip18]

Where have you been, ia? I've only been in and out for the past couple of months, so I didn't know you went anywhere.

Thanks for filling me in, Laura.

[Slip18]

Can you yodel, Maiden Laura?

[Slip18]

Where do you find this stuff? LOL!

[TheGrimReaper]

I'd love to take credit for it, but I was just passing it along..... origin unknown.

[international american]

Thank you sveeeeeethaaaaart!!!!!!

[international american]

I had some surgery then I spent about5 months in Malaysia.

How is everything with you?

[international american]

OK.....nice pass then:)

[Gabz]

I hope it was a big dog.

Not really - sort of medium sized. She coughed it up and out - but made this weird squeaking sound as she was doing it.

she kept looking around trying to figure out where the noise was coming from - it was positievly hysterical.

Don't get me wrong we right there in case she got into trouble, but she was able to spit it out.

[Slip18]

Sheesh. I'm glad you're back again! Malaysia is a beautiful country from what I've seen in magazines.

I've spent about 16 weeks having flipping tests from a lot of idiotic doctors to find out why I was fainting. Found out finally yesterday at a reknowned institute in Phoenix. Took them one lousy day. They did testing on me from 6:30 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. Test after test. No surgery. Just found out that I had had a silent heart attack from a trauma that happened to me years ago, and my heart wasn't sending correct messages to the brain. Also low blood pressure didn't help and a knee injury made it worse. Kept falling and injuring myself.

Cyber and I are going to write a thread on what happened to us during those 16 weeks pretty soon. What happened to me and the first heart doc I had here should have never happened. He FIRED me as his patient because Cyber told him off. Then the doc sent a certified letter saying he would keep me as his patient until I got a new cardiologist.

It was a horrible experience. Only a few people here knew about it because I was embarrassed about the fainting and falling all the time.

And that was my summer . . .

[Laura Earl]

I've missed you so much...can I have a big full body hug?????

[Conspiracy Guy]

Steal it!

[Gabz]

Can't wait to hear about your time in Malaysia. I think I'll pass on the surgery story, though. Hope all is well.

Glad to see you back!!!!!!!

[Gabz]

Only a few people here knew about it because I was embarrassed about the fainting and falling all the time.

Being drunk all the time will do that to you..............(ducking big time)

[potlatch]

Thanks for the ping Meek, Happy sent it in an email and I sang myself through it, LOL.

[Slip18]

Isn't tomorrow your birthday, My Sweet? You be nice. LOL.

Hey, where's my Scotch?

One of the furbombs has a stuffed cow toy that moos if you push a certain spot. Sometimes they will start up a game in the middle of the night and we hear a scratch of toenails dashing through the kitchen followed by a loud MOOOOOOOO!

Gee Slippy, most of us just start the essay like this:

The first day of my summer vacation, I woke up.
