Welcome!
And now, when you see something you perceive to be a threat, you can face it and thump your foot at it.
Rabbit at work would do that at me aftter I accidentally frightened him and his girl.
He never forgave me.

I didn’t have 14 minutes to spare for the whole thing. I hope they’ll live happily ever after.

Well, the reason we exist is to equalize the insanity of other threads. Did you forget you can vent here? For the most part, none of us are judgemental, and we ALL understand the frustration of reading/seeing things that go against the grain and feeling powerless to change them.

Feel free to come here and blast who or what you see on other threads. You might be surprised at how many of us may agree with you!

We also listen and comiserate with most of life’s challenges, so if you feel bad and need an ear, someone is always listening.

...I’ve noticed that typos and such increase while I am lurking.

Actually, Darks, you're too modest.

Scout, when he lurks, your typsos will become prolific. At least, mine do.

Hey, You!

*hug*

Thanks again for your help in recent weeks. It made me feel much better to know you were there for LoM when she needed an Angel so desperately.

God has marked you His, for sure.

Thank you for being such a good Dog Mommie. I’m sure the critter was most appreciative of your care and concern. May it will seek you out to thank you.

I had to take the Mobbed clip in two sections, since I was getting sustenance for the Mum, doing dishes, washing, changing her sheets, cleaning the oven (a second try is needed) and mopping the floors.

Ugh. I want to go to bed, but the yard guy is coming in a few minutes to give an estimate of clean-up for the yards.

*sigh*

Right. Just like there is no explanation for the possessed washer and the FAX machine. No one believes for a second that you are innocent! LOL!

I might have missed it due to having quite a few posts here, but did the anteater go for therapy or what?

That IS a good idea! I'm going to try that next time!
