I think "monkeying" does not cover that sideways way of finding words when your fingers just slid of the keys and found a word you never heard of of their own accord. Monkeys are random, but deliberate. This is more of a Ghost.

1:46 am

1:46 am

jillibus

Go away, weather, get off pug!

1:46 am

puglet

Jilli was it you the other day talking about a friend or family member having mental problems? If so are things any better

1:47 am

puglet

You okay Peach

1:48 am

jillibus

pug, I do have a friend who was just diagnosed with Alzheimer's. Things don't get better with that :(

1:48 am

sprite

aw jilli, am so sorry. That is a tough disease.

1:51 am

jillibus

It's hard to believe. She's an active golfer at age 86, passed her driving test, full of fun and wit -- but does forget things. Early stages. Unhappy about leaving her house and going into assisted living, but facing facts.

1:51 am

puglet

that is sad Jilli--its an awful thing.Mainly for the family

1:52 am

sprite

she sounds like an amazing woman.

1:52 am

jillibus

Her husband is permanently in hospital after strikes and blindness. Her two married daughters live in other towns.

1:52 am

jillibus

*strokes

1:53 am

jillibus

She lives on the other side of the continent from me.

1:54 am

puglet

the poor woman---my heart goes out to you Jilli

1:54 am

sprite

not easy to give up her own place, but for what it it worth, I think she is making the right decision. Much better if you are still able to make that decision yourself and be an active participant in the move.

1:54 am

jillibus

And yes, she is amazing and has been a steady friend for many a year -- met her in 1955.

1:55 am

sprite

hehehe you have been friends for longer than I am alive!

1:55 am

puglet

I dont think there is anything more important then true friends(besides the Lord)

1:56 am

jillibus

There ya go, sprite! I have told her how friends I know who have made the reluctant decision to go into assisted living are now very much enjoying all the TLC and carefree housing and activities.

1:57 am

sprite

I hope she will too, jilli. Giving up your own place is a hard hing.

1:58 am

jillibus

I know, and I ain't agonna do it. Sez me.

1:58 am

sprite

I hope you never will have to, jilli. You know you are my shining example, right?

1:59 am

jillibus

Tarnished, sprite, tarnished.

2:00 am

sprite

nah, not from where I am standing

2:00 am

flosey

no jilli, not at all, you're a shining example

2:01 am

jillibus

Sure didn't sine at bridge tonight, lol!

2:01 am

puglet

losing ones independent is so sad.In the nursing home those people makes you so sad.I dread the time when it comes my way

2:01 am

flosey

ah well, that's a different kettle of fish

2:01 am

flosey

win some, lose some

2:02 am

puglet

I can see Jilli's rays coming through clear over here-lol

2:02 am

jillibus

yup

2:02 am

jillibus

oh jeez!

2:03 am

gapeach

I'm going to be on the phone with this friend....so, I will see you all later on.

2:03 am

sprite

*hugs* for peach... take care, hun

2:03 am

jillibus

good luck with your friend, peach

2:03 am

puglet

bye Peach -take care

2:03 am

flosey

hope it's an enjoyable chat, Peach

2:04 am

sprite

it was a friend with problems, so probably not really

2:04 am

flosey

oh dear, well bless her, hope she is able to offer comfort

2:05 am

puglet

2:13 am

grannyrose

good grief sprite! what did he do?

2:13 am

puglet

2:13 am

sprite

2:14 am

jillibus

2:14 am

2:15 am

jillibus

hi joso

2:15 am

joso

hey jilli

2:16 am

sprite

joso... yeah, very seriously this time. He hit his sister and gave her a black nose.

2:16 am

jillibus

Oh dear

2:17 am

joso

yes, attacking family is serious, no clue what he is thinking about

2:17 am

puglet

sprite is there a private school or a relative that he could go to for a while

2:18 am

sprite

not really, pug. It is a mess. Right now I don't see a way out. Will call school again after babble.

2:19 am

jillibus

sprite I hate to tell you at thhis time that here are 9 K words, ugh.

2:19 am

sprite

*grin* Jilli, I know. And cause I hate them I take them out first. I found them all.

2:19 am

grannyrose

hello joso, was off replenishing the bourbon...now there's a surprise. how goes the cycling and swimming?

2:20 am

joso

nothing happening along those lines, was off gaming yesterday

2:21 am

jillibus

good for you sprite. I haven't found them and won't. Bed is beckoning and I have to be awake tomorrow morning.

2:21 am

grannyrose

sprite, just terrible thing for tim to do....i know it's hard. but can you give him a day or two to cool down. then try again. text him and let him know that you aren't available either.

2:22 am

sprite

will try, rose,thanks :)

2:23 am

grannyrose

some times the unreachable makes them want it....lol

2:24 am

sprite

was pretty mad at my psychiatrist... she said to consider if my past makes me too principal in this. How can I be too principal when it comes to Caya's safety? I can't let Tim hurt her, now can I?

2:25 am

jillibus

ok, I give up on the wr 7 & 8 -- any clues avaiable?

2:25 am

grannyrose

weird thing for a shrink to say!!

2:25 am

joso

2:26 am

flosey

2:26 am

grannyrose

jilli, what our skin develops as we grow ol5

2:26 am

puglet

when you age Jille what you will see in the mirror

2:26 am

sprite

isn't it, rose? It pissed me off, to be honest. Wrote back to her that I don't feel ok with telling Caya: "Well, yeah, sometimes Tim will hit you and give you some black spots, but lighten up.'

2:26 am

grannyrose

flosey!?!? you ir4 your skin?

2:27 am

joso

2:27 am

flosey

8:38 am

rubyfoo

It is hard to say. This was the first year in 15 when we had a horrible spring. Usually, spring last a long time and is glorious. This year was wet and cold.

8:38 am

rubyfoo

But Ireland is never as cold as the continent, I think, and it is so beautiful that even the rain will be lovely

8:39 am

Scrabbler

Yikes, I admitted that I didn't read a particular article so now my mother is reading it to me. Aaaaah.

8:39 am

MollyL

April in Ireland...mild (55-60) and rainy. Rain gear is a good thing to plan on bringing.

Studies in space have shown that birds cannot survive in weightless environments since they require gravity in order to swallow food.

9:48 am

Judi

They're out there, car. Try E-Bay or Etsy. Of course, you would probably want a push-button one.

9:50 am

puglet

My nephew dont even know what a rotary phone is-lol

9:51 am

puglet

we had a party line for I dont know how long until privite lines came in our area

9:51 am

Judi

Hee hee, puglet. Lots of kids don't know what a rotary phone is, let alone a record player, Walkman, etc. etc.

9:53 am

puglet

then it was years before the rotary was replaced with touchtone phones

9:55 am

Judi

Yep. Lived through all that electronic evolution.

9:56 am

Judi

There are far too many "i's" in this grid.

10:02 am

10:14 am

o-o

Studies of interest: The Pew Research Center has discovered that a majority of people surf the Web for no reason!

10:14 am

crosshair

lol www.stumbleupon.com is the ultimate time vampire

10:15 am

o-o

"These results come in the larger context that internet users of all ages are much more likely now than in the past to say they go online for no particular reason other than to pass the time or have fun."

10:15 am

crosshair

10:19 am

Judi

Only half of the Wizard of Oz was in color.

10:20 am

I like that show Crossy--I watched it too

10:22 am

puglet

lol-no o-o

10:23 am

puglet

it was a floor model in a metal console

10:24 am

puglet

but no one wanted to change the channels nor turn it up or down

10:29 am

crosshair

ours was a massive wooden framed console model,thing weighed a ton

10:30 am

puglet

did it have a record player in it too

10:30 am

Judi

lol. My MIL had one of those. We finally moved it out of her living room two years ago. Took four of us to lug it out.

10:30 am

crosshair

nope we had a seperate console unit for that.had am/fm/sw 1/sw2 and record player and 8 track.i was forbidden to touch it

10:32 am

puglet

poor Crossy! what kind of music did your parents like

10:32 am

crosshair

my very first music device that was my own was a gift of a used bell and howelle reel to reel.i could spice tape like a pro:)

10:32 am

crosshair

my da was into johnny cash and roger wittaker

10:33 am

crosshair

splice

10:34 am

puglet

Ive never heard of one of those,Crossy--bell&howell

10:34 am

crosshair

yup,was big at the time

10:35 am

crosshair

you bought tape on mini reels,about 15 minutes of time.i used to slice them together and get an hour a tape

10:35 am

crosshair

splice

10:36 am

crosshair

secret was to splice neatly with no jagged edges or the take up reels would grab it and you would have a mess.rip the tape right apart again

10:37 am

o-o

I used staples

10:37 am

puglet

well you must of had a pretty sturdy hand to be able to do that

10:38 am

puglet

oh you had one too O-O

10:38 am

Judi

Does anyone have a clue for the or6/18?

10:38 am

o-o

Then I held the tape up to the sun

10:38 am

crosshair

there was this little splicing guide,almost like a carpenters mitre box.you place both ends in after you lay down the splice and it lines them right up and did most of the work for you

10:38 am

movieman

it's a bird judi

10:39 am

or 6/18 is a bird - east coast US - and a baseball team

Clue please for the ed 5/22? I just can't seem to make it work.

12:57 pm

You can grow herbs in small planters. Be careful if you grow basil though, it has a tendency to produce much more than one person can deal with.

12:57 pm

Hi WooTy. What is the latest on your Mother In Law?

2:00 pm

Jillyjill

Have forgotten, were you on when I shared about the kitchen poop?

2:01 pm

MollyL

Yes, alas, I heard about that. Any plans to update her care?

2:02 pm

MollyL

*Just said a fervent prayer that thirty years from now, there is no discussion of my kitchen poop*

2:04 pm

Jillyjill

We have to wait until end of week, see if treating her UTI worked. I suspect it is aught for naught. She will most likely be placed in a rest home. It's tough because sometimes she is totally with it. Hubby and I are going over to look at a locked Memory Care ward in our town. Meanwhile, I still think more thorough MD eval and an actual diagnosis is necessary.

2:04 pm

Jillyjill

Meanwhile, they are hiring a private agency to come in when sis and hubby are at work this week.

2:18 pm

does anyone have experience with a multi-dentist practice where you don't want to see one guy because he seems to be not that good at fillings? how do you not be awkward about it when you're telling the scheduler?

2:18 pm

Jillyjill

half way....need coffee...brb

2:21 pm

Jillyjill

HUrshy, I would merely say "I had a really great experience with Dr So&So, would it be possible to have him again?"

2:29 pm

MollyL

I wouldn't say anything. I would just call and make an appointment for the doctor of your choice, when he is available. If asked, just "I prefer Dr. GoodFilling"

2:29 pm

hurshy

yeah except then it turns out so-and-so is really unavailable and you might be fine with any of the five or whatever others...

2:30 pm

hurshy

i mean i did it, because, i have a pretty close relationship with my hygienist and i told her and she worked it out. but i felt awkward, that's all.

2:31 pm

Jillyjill

As a medical professional, I support the ideation that you are a consumer and that you have full choice.

2:31 pm

hurshy

but my husband and i have both had poor fillings from the same guy and you gotta wonder if like, i dunno, someone should let them know that he needs more training, or, i don't know

2:31 pm

MollyL

Considering the cost of dental care, there is nothing wrong with not wanting to see one in a practice because you have had a bad experience.

2:32 pm

hurshy

yeah

2:34 pm

Jillyjill

And any health care business (that IS what it is) needs to be respectful to patient wishes

2:34 pm

Jillyjill

And you should say something if you HAVE had a bad experience

2:36 pm

hurshy

well, i guess i did ok then

2:40 pm

Jillyjill

Yes you did!!

2:43 pm

3:37 pm

72 Temple Owl

well in her mind it was not definite. I could have misunderstood, we did not come to a time agreement.

3:37 pm

72 Temple Owl

and with the timing of when she showed back up I knew to ask at that time would not be well received. at lwast I thought that.

Peri... I was lurking before when you were talking about your menu... are you veg?

6:30 pm

periwinkle

pretty much

6:30 pm

periwinkle

I do eat fish now and then

6:31 pm

SpellCheck

Vegan here... always looking for good recipes.

6:32 pm

periwinkle

the soup turned out well but it is missing a little something. may I wiill add fresh garlic next time

6:32 pm

periwinkle

Spell. the saffron cauliflower soup would be vegan if you changed the type of stock. the recipe called for chicken stock so that is what I used. next time will use a vegetarian stock

6:33 pm

SpellCheck

I'm not sure about the saffron... it's a tad expensive and if the recipe was "missing something" I think I might pass.

6:35 pm

SpellCheck

I do a lot of soup here. Usually I sautÃ© onion and then throw in some broccoli. Veggie stock (I use knorr cubes) to fill the pot, some spices. When the broccoli is almost mush, I use the immersion blender.

6:35 pm

periwinkle

have you checked out Kris Carr. I am pretty sure she is vegan. she has written several books and has a website. Another person is Alicia Silverstone. here book is called The Kind Diet.

6:35 pm

periwinkle

I did use saffron but maybe not enough. the soup was good tho.

6:36 pm

periwinkle

I tried the immersion blender and did not do well with it. I switched to regular blender. But I do like soup too

6:36 pm

SpellCheck

I will look into Kris Carr. I'm not a huge fan of Silverstone's book. There are many out there that are better.

6:36 pm

SpellCheck

I forgot to add: IMO

6:39 pm

periwinkle

the book I got the recipe from is not all vegetarian but it was only $1.00 at TJ Maxx and there are some neat recipes in it

6:40 pm

SpellCheck

Gotta love a bargain! ;-)

6:41 pm

SpellCheck

Carr's site is timing out. I'll try again later. I love Mark Bittman's "How to Cook Everything Vegetarian" He has a lot of vegan recipes in there too, but he really talks about how you can modify a recipe. Very helpful.

6:44 pm

Christine Pirello is another author who is vegan. she also has a cooking show on TV

6:47 pm

SpellCheck

Mom got it for me for Xmas a few years ago. Hubby joked and said it's a doorstop. It's HUGE. Around 1000 pages. It's also available as an app.

6:47 pm

periwinkle

or is it Christina

6:48 pm

periwinkle

yea I know it is huge and I have enough cookbooks at the moment

6:50 pm

SpellCheck

I have two shelves in the kitchen... I have room for one more cookbook. Then, anything that comes in needs to replace something.

7:00 pm

there are two ke4/8. one is a game, I think. and the other sounds like the start of a piece of corn

7:00 pm

SpellCheck

ke 4/8 - something to do with printing -- spacing

7:00 pm

SpellCheck

ki4/8 - pottery oven

7:01 pm

SpellCheck

ki 4/8 - like the 2nd ke, just a different vowel

7:01 pm

SpellCheck

ko 4/8 - new to me... sounds like a soft drink with a different ending vowel

7:02 pm

SpellCheck

kr 5/18 - think old witch, but with a diff first consonant

7:02 pm

ChampFit

Thx!!!

7:02 pm

ke 6/30... add a consonant to the 5/18

7:03 pm

Nursing job on an oncology unit.

8:49 pm

No, it's all good. I was glad to figure it out! Down to 18 left.

Hi phan! I just read your good news! Congrats!

9:49 pm

hi

9:49 pm

phandmd

thank you!

9:50 pm

phandmd

hoping for the best news!

9:50 pm

Nef

That is a job that I couldn't do; oncology takes a special person (and I wasn't a good match).

9:50 pm

Nef

hi penquis

9:52 pm

Nef

Sending you lots of good wishes and hope and pray that you will ace the interview and get the job, phan!

9:52 pm

stidmama

hey phand!

9:52 pm

phandmd

Thank you, Nef! I really appreciate that

9:52 pm

stidmama

hey all!

9:53 pm

stidmama

second interview?

9:53 pm

Nef

hi stid! Congrats to you too on your new job! :-D

9:53 pm

phandmd

yes, I am meeting with 2 of the nurses from the night shift.

9:54 pm

stidmama

thanks Nef! The classroom looks good (I hid some of the unfinished-unsorted materials in a little office space they gave me). We'll see if it functions well once there are kids inside!

9:54 pm

stidmama

very good, phand! I hope it goes well. Is that a good time of day for you to work? (NOT a night owl)

9:55 pm

Nef

I loved being a night nurse, stid. It's a whole 'nother universe working nights in hospitals

9:55 pm

phandmd

well, I can't really be choosy about the shift at this point.

9:56 pm

Nef

It always seems that they start newbies out on nights where ever I worked

9:56 pm

stidmama

true, and nights could have some real advantages, I think in terms of pacing?

9:57 pm

phandmd

exactly, Stidmama!

9:58 pm

jesdraggon

hi all

9:58 pm

stidmama

hey jes.

9:59 pm

Nef

much less interruptions on nights than on days, stid. On days (I always had to work them during orientation for about 2 weeks when I changed hospitals) the docs and visitors and food trays and respiratory and PT and etc. kept interrupting cares and teaching. I found it very frustrating to work day shift in hospitals

9:59 pm

Nef

hi jes.

10:00 pm

jesdraggon

how goes?

10:01 pm

phandmd

I can't figure out the yi 4/6. I swear I have tried every logical combination.

10:01 pm

Nef

BTW, DH and I met Round Barn yesterday and we had quite a nice visit with her, her cousin, and her cousins' wife. She's a really nice lady. (And I talked too much too!)

10:02 pm

jesdraggon

try illogical ones, phand, like 2 of the same letter

10:02 pm

Nef

thanks jes!

10:02 pm

phandmd

thank you Jess, I never even saw that option!

10:03 pm

phandmd

how about teh or 6?

10:04 pm

Nef

how's the boy doing, jes? Is he back to normal now?

10:04 pm

jesdraggon

1st day of school today, haven't talked to him - i actually just got home from work (yes, yes, we closed 3 hours ago...)

10:05 pm

jesdraggon

I did drop a kitten in his lap though :)

10:05 pm

Nef

phaan, try spelling the weird Swiss singing different, and the yo 6 is the person who sings that

10:06 pm

stidmama

sorry, I drifted away.

10:06 pm

Nef

LOL! Vets are much like other medical people: can't leave tip the excitement and paperwork are done!

10:07 pm

Nef

til

10:07 pm

jesdraggon

yah. and today was EXCITING.

10:07 pm

Nef

Oh?? what happened?

10:08 pm

jesdraggon

I was scheduled alone because we like to try and kill me. I ended up calling in another doctor for the afternoon, who did the 2 hip dislocations and the fractured femur (3 different dogs)

10:08 pm

Nef

Oh, my! Someone throwing dogs around or trying to run them down?

10:08 pm

stidmama

oh geez, glad you had backup, but WOW. You totally need another partner...

10:09 pm

jesdraggon

the second hip was just freaking crazy. dog was on a tether in the yard, owner was working on the roof. somebody drove into the yard, hit the dog, and drove off!

10:09 pm

phandmd

I give up

10:09 pm

stidmama

the Yi is like "to si* with love" only double that last consonant

10:09 pm

jesdraggon

broken femur was hit by a car yesterday, but they didn't call until today.

10:09 pm

phandmd

wow, Jes! That is awful!

10:10 pm

Nef

do you have the Swiss singing, phan?

10:10 pm

stidmama

I was only supposed to be at the school 4.5 hours today. I was there for ten and now working with my feet up. :-D I really really hope I can get everything ready!

10:10 pm

stidmama

oh jes, how sad

10:10 pm

torgone

"we like to try and kill me" .. That could be in my job description ..

10:10 pm

Nef

jes, what kind of idiot would do that?

10:11 pm

jesdraggon

superspecial idiots, nef

10:11 pm

stidmama

hey tor! ((hugs))

10:11 pm

phandmd

if you mean the yo 5 yes I do.

10:11 pm

stidmama

there is an "alternate" spelling for the yo5, too.

10:11 pm

torgone

Heyas kids ..

10:11 pm

Nef

okay, switch the last 2 letters around; then add a hook letter

10:11 pm

phandmd

not sure how to change the spelling with or being the begining letters

10:12 pm

Nef

hi tor! How are you?

10:12 pm

phandmd

I don't need a Y, I need the OR 6

10:13 pm

torgone

or6 is a bird ..

10:13 pm

jesdraggon

thanks, tor

10:13 pm

torgone

A bird is a word ..

10:14 pm

jesdraggon

hey stid - do you buy books from amazon? They've introduced a program called 'matchbook' that lets you get cheap e-book copies of books you've purchased from them in the past. might help with replacing the library...

10:14 pm

Nef

bird is The word, isn't it, tor?

10:14 pm

jesdraggon

bird,bird, bird is the word!

10:15 pm

Nef

LOL! Our ages are showing! :-D

10:15 pm

phandmd

also a baseball team (happens to be my team) Thank you!

10:16 pm

I think I am going to retire with 8 left. Dragging.

10:21 pm

jesdraggon

dislocated wrist dog from the weekend went home. hopefully will get her to the orthopedic surgeon in a week or so for fusion of the joint

10:26 pm

Nef

Sorry, had to go help DH for a bit. He dropped his pill box and his pills spilt all over the kitchen.

10:27 pm

stidmama

I hope the dog will be okay -- I have to head out. Need to get my act together so I have something to "show and tell" for the kids tomorrow. *poof*

10:27 pm

jesdraggon

get 'em all cleaned up before the kid finds 'em?

10:27 pm

jesdraggon

g'night, stid, have fun wrangling kids tomorrow

10:29 pm

Nef

jes, why do they need to fuse the joint on the dog? WIll it keep dislocating now if it isn't done?

10:30 pm

Nef

(niters phan and stid; a bit late)

10:30 pm

jesdraggon

yeah, the whole top of the joint was laid open, with too much tissue missing to re-connect extensor tendons and close. So it'll never be a joint she can use anyway

10:31 pm

Nef

Wow! That's a lot worse than what I thought it was! Poor dog! How did that happen?

10:31 pm

jesdraggon

and rather than have a floppy foot she can't place right, and will walk on the top of, and which may be chronically painful from the expected severe arthritis, they can plate it together and then she can walk on the leg and not have the pain associated with motion

10:31 pm

jesdraggon

hit by car

10:32 pm

Nef

poor thing. Is it a big dog?

10:32 pm

jesdraggon

probably lost most of the soft tissue to the road surface. I got the fun of picking gravel out from between the carpal bones. When she came in, the paw was nearly 180 degrees rotated from the radius

10:32 pm

Nef

Wow! Just reading that hurts!

10:33 pm

jesdraggon

it was... pretty impressive

10:33 pm

jesdraggon

she's medium sized - 55 pounds. probably lab x dobie? really cute and sweet.

10:35 pm

Nef

poor thing.... :-(

10:36 pm

jesdraggon

she's SO easy to work with too, doesn't fuss about bandage changes or anything.

10:37 pm

Nef

that at least makes it easier for you. How's the owner doing?

10:38 pm

jesdraggon

they're alright, no bitching about the bill, and trying to find good things (could be worse... could have been the mr, who was out jogging with the dog when it happened, could have lost the paw, could have had ruptured spleen or other internal crushing....)

10:40 pm

Nef

so at least they care about her

10:42 pm

jesdraggon

oh yeah, they're very nice

10:43 pm

weiik

you make it sound soooo easy putting the paw back together,

10:43 pm

weiik

good talent to have, I can only fix cars and computer programs

10:43 pm

jesdraggon

hah. well, the orthopedic surgeon gets the real fun, I admitted I couldn't fix it up right :)

10:43 pm

Nef

now for the $64,000 question: Will she be in pain for the rest of her life? If so, wouldn't it be better to put her down?

10:44 pm

weiik

i'd think, in my limited knowledge to just remove it

10:44 pm

jesdraggon

nope, that's why the joint fusion. pain comes with motion, fusing the joint eliminates the motion.

10:45 pm

Nef

oh, good! I hate to see people or animals in pain

10:45 pm

weiik

with the fusion, wouldn't that cause undo wearing of the skin on the paw, or will the animal learn how to compensate for that

10:45 pm

jesdraggon

amputation was the second option - if the paw wasn't saveable (too much soft tissue damage and interrupted blood supply, or lack of owner financing), but amputation has other long-term issues to consider, like abnormal use and early arthritis in the other leg.

10:46 pm

penquis

heading to bed....g'nite all

10:46 pm

jesdraggon

no, the joint will be fused in weight-bearing position, and she can still move the toes, elbow, and shoulder.

10:46 pm

jesdraggon

sleep sweet, penq

10:47 pm

weiik

wow, i'll call you first before I head to the doctors next time for a first opinion .... how do they know the position of the bones , weight bearing, when they pin it together

10:48 pm

Nef

niters, pen.

10:49 pm

jesdraggon

because they're specialists and that's what they do... massively simplified, he'll just be putting normal anatomy back together, and locking it in place. all the bones are still there, it's the soft tissue around the joint that's missing.

10:49 pm

10:51 pm

Nef

And also, weiik, be glad you don't walk on all four extremities!

10:51 pm

gapeach

Rats! Don't have ed5-22. Will look more. Thanks, Nef

10:54 pm

jesdraggon

well, walking on all 4 does make amputation a bit more viable as an option :D

10:55 pm

Nef

true, jes; but it sure makes it hard to zip and unbutton your pants! ;-)

10:55 pm

weiik

that's the reason I mentioned it, I've seen alot of dogs, with 3 legs, but, now that I think of it, no cats, and the dogs seemed to be fine whether it was front or back
