9:05 am
aslindy
we were intending to keep her all along, assuming all went well. she loves the cats, one loves her, one tolerates her, same as they do the other dog.

I don't know any spanish
7:13 pm

7:15 pm
hokie carla
what happens if you stick your finger in an outlet + a preposition + end of old macdonald vowels
7:15 pm
hokie carla
no, not exactly on the vowels
7:15 pm
hokie carla
first and last of the old macdonald vowels
7:16 pm
Retired PJs
what happens if i stick my finger in an outlet is an expletive + another expletive + a bunch of exclamation points.
7:16 pm
cybernan
got it - ty carla
7:17 pm
hokie carla
right, PJs
7:17 pm

hokie carla

10:56 pm
Gillie
I thought the last of the old macdonald vowels were "I" and "O"
11:05 pm
rbud
Agreed. But hokie carla said the first and last of them, and that works.

Unfortunately, it's one of those nights whenI am awake and waiting for the new gride at 6am. Does anyone need any clues for the current one?
11:20 pm
Jacula
Excuse typing errors etc., I'm not totally bright and breezy yet and in need of yet another new keyboard.
11:21 pm
CowExploder
te6?
11:31 pm
Jacula
LOL, you got it.
11:33 pm
Jacula
Cow Exploder - I sincerely hope you are a vet who lets gas out of cow's twisted stomaches!
11:33 pm
Jacula
Cows', I meant!
11:40 pm
Jacula
Every one done, I guess.
11:49 pm
CowExploder
actually the idea came from rural countries in which cows fall off cliffs and block dirt roads
11:50 pm
CowExploder
the fastest way to clear the roads in the absence of heavy machinery is to explode the cows
11:50 pm
Jacula
cowExploder - OUCH!
11:50 pm
Jacula
That's both messy and smelly!
11:53 pm
CowExploder
but efficient
11:54 pm
Jacula
Yurgh! Who cleans it all up?
11:54 pm
CowExploder
don't know, but probably the local wildlife
11:55 pm
Jacula
I thought same. Guess they do.
11:56 pm
Jacula
The wildlife in USA is probably faster at doing that than the wildlife in UK.
11:57 pm
CowExploder
in the usa we never see dead birds
11:57 pm
CowExploder
but some believe that's because birds aren't real, and that they're all drones spying on us
11:58 pm
Jacula
Yet, we do here in UK, especiallyif we have cats who bring tem into the house and present them to us as gifts.
11:58 pm
CowExploder
my cat did that to me once when i was a kid, only it was in the middle of the night. i screamed and woke my parents
11:59 pm
CowExploder
and my parents told me to praise the cat and not wake them up when i found a dead bird in my bed
