At 3:30 this morning I woke up to what sounded like a cat fight in my hallway. There was a bit of hissing and that meow/screaming sound a cat will make. I knew it couldn't be my cats, they never fight. One of my cats (using the doggy door) brought in a small frog. Not the first creature he has brought in, have had moles, birds, and frogs before. He doesn't actucally kill them at least not until he plays (tortures) first. He picked the frog up in his mouth and the frog screamed. I was stunned. I managed to get the frog away from the cat and he really didn't seem hurt just traumatized. I let him out the front door (cat only goes in the fenced in backyard.) Just thought this was a weird story and wanted to share.

I've heard a catfish scream, but never a frog
x
That Leap Frog commercial
where this man is dressed as a giant frog or lizzard and says that books are boring except the ones that can be read by that pen they are trying to sell.
Well, I don’t scream but if a
dog picked me up in his mouth, I might do the same. Have been around frogs but never heard one do this.
Couldn't you just scream?
Have had professional painters do the inside of my homes at different times. They all said NOTHING gets paint out of carpet.
I would call the kid's mom and tell her. It probably won't do any good as far as the carpet goes, but I would be sure and tell her that her child was not welcome in your home anymore.
I know it makes me want to scream...sm
Nobody takes my job seriously. If I am working my husband has been known to call and say I need you to look something up on the computer or give me so and so's phone #.
My parents divorced last year and my mom who I love dearly and would do anything for me gets lonely in the evenings when she comes home from work. Well I work in the evenings. She will come over but when she sees I'm working she is pretty good about going on about her business. My son will answer the door for her so I don't have to get up and then she says oh you are working. Well I will go. See some evenings I have work, some not.
My dad, on the other hand, is a complete nutcase who has no respect for anyone and no consideration. He will call my phone repeatedly while he KNOWS I am working. I have answered before and said I'm working, can't talk so he will quit calling. Nope. He will call you 10 minutes later. I actually changed my # due to him calling repeatedly when I would say I am working. My husband even answered the phone and told him she is working. I'll tell her to call you back later. 10 minutes later he calls back. My husband says what is the deal? I had give him my # again after changing it because he got sick and I felt obligated to give it to him in case of an emergency. I said but do not call my phone repeatedly. Well he is right back to the repeated calling. So I just turn it off now.
So when you don't answer he just comes and knocks and knocks and knocks. Tonight I didn't answer one time when he came and knocked cause I was working and don't know that I would have answered it if I hadn't been. So he leaves and comes back 30 minutes later drives up to my office window (which has a curtain) and shines his headlights in the window and starts blowing the horn. I was SO ticked off. He doesn't care if you don't want to be bothered or not. I went to the door and said WHAT DO YOU WANT? I AM WORKING. Which he knew anyways. I am just gonna have to start not answering calls at all. Not answering the door. If he shines his lights in my office I will just have to ignore it and keep typing. (Like that will be easy to do w/out going to the door and cursing him out.)
Oh well, that is my life. Sorry so long.
ROFL, hey Tech, still got knots on your head, bet she did scream at you...sm
but not in a good way. Your humor makes me laugh! Hope your wife didn't stay mad long. Another good mark for you, at least you didn't lie or omit that you're married. Hey use some of that money you saved from the butler and buy your wife some flowers to replace that frying pan she's chasing you around with 
Keep up the great jokes though, you make this board what it's supposed to be, fun!
I've heard of tops and also heard it is a good group.
Just heard
Very sad indeed.
Never heard of it until now....sm
it sounds like something you'd find in the south. I'm not sure if I like the sounds of it or not!
wow, never heard of it, but thanks!
x
I heard, so sad. I liked him.
yep, once heard it said that if you
expect nothing, you are never dissappointed, so I have learned to expect nothing, and in return, I am always surprised, which makes even the smallest of niceities someone does or says much more appreciated by me. We are to be happy givers, actually expected to give until it hurts, and not to expect anything in return, amen.
You have heard exactly what I have
over the years. I have heard so much of this I probably would swat my children out of their seats at the table if I ever heard these gross sounds. I also hate to hear yawning while dictating. Reminds me of the time I used to work outside my regular job and had a physician who was a terrible dictator in the hospital and at his office (this was a group of physicians, otherwise would not just have worked for him) and one day he dictated a letter to his bank about his account and you got it, every word was letter perfect, perfectly understandable. I think most dictators find the job of doing their reports not high on the totem pole. That is why we as transcriptionists have to put up with all this crap noise they send our way. Sneezes, snorts, eating, drawing on a cigarette (yes, years ago that 1 for me), coughing, smacking, chewing, and yes, that occasional bowel movement thing-- my mother would have killed me if I ever did this!! I learned well at her knee, still am very cognizant of others in a family/social setting.
You said if you really WANT to, well heard the
same subject on weight loss from my aunt. A lot of elderly people's appetites wane and now she talks about a person, all you have to do is push away from the table. Hmmm, sounds a lot like what you are saying. If you really want to. Ok, I am trying now- I want to be beautiful, thinner, rich, and so on and so on. Hey, I really want this so I guess it can come true, right? Like I said, lot of people just do not understand. Maybe she has a good friend somewhere that will understand.
From what I have heard,
they have great personalities. I believe that smaller dogs do need to go out more frequently for a longer period, but if you work at home, maybe this won't be such an issue.
That being said, any puppy takes a lot of time and attention, and if that is going to stress you out, say you have kids and a busy life, the puppy stage can be rough. Thank goodness puppies are soooo cute, LOL. My neighbors are working with a puppy, and unfortunately they got it at 6 weeks. They were really bleary-eyed there for a while, and thought we were really smart to get an adult dog.
Make sure you go to a good breeder. This is a good place to start:
http://www.bichon.org/breeders.htm
They are not more expensive than a "backyard" breeder who is out to make a buck. The less responsible breeders tend to give themselves away by using terms to make their line sound special, but usually mean they are outside the breed standard, or breeding for looks over health. Depending on breed, they may use words like "teacup" "giant," or even "hypoallergenic." Bichons may cause allergies for fewer people, but that doesn't help if you or a family member just happen to be allergic. So what out for such buzzwords designed to sell. A good breeder is going to have questions for you about how ready you are to take on a puppy of their breed, and they will also tell you that if at any time, for any reason, you need to get rid of the dog, call them - not a rescue, not a shelter. They will always take their dog back because they really care about the dog.
If you get one, we want to hear all the puppy (or dog) stories. :oD
Never heard of this...
but will go to Lowe's tomorrow and check it out. That might be something that works in conjunction with the other ideas.
you *heard*???? LOL.........
You *heard that AL Gore's documentary had no facts in it*? And I quote you on that.
Believe half of what you see and nothing of what you *hear* - go do your own research for crying out loud!!!
At least Gore CARES!!
Has anyone heard (sm)
how the poison got into the wheat? Last I heard it was a poison that is not used in this country. 
Just heard from my son
they are finally on the bus and on their way home. We live about 1 1/2 hours from Tech. There is where my son plans on going to college. He actucally told me he loved me on the phone.
I heard that
 on the local news - it is utterly unbelievable!
Um, TOM? Never heard of it.
No hits on my abbreviation site, either.
No, have not heard.
Don't remember the 1997 thing either. Well if it worked back then, I would give it a go, but I feel it is a lost battle. I hate the prices where they are. $2.77 for me at the Gas N Go in NJ. $35.00 just the other day to fill her up.
I heard that!
Also have 2 boys and 1 girl - she is the middle child and has been a challenge since she was a baby. Tonight is the PROM! OMG will I be glad when tonight is over! With my son, it was rent a tux, order the corsage take some pictures, have a good time, be careful with my new car.
With my daughter, it is shop for dresses, shop some more, pick one out, have the store hold it, forgot a 50% deposit, go pay in full, wait a month for them to press it, shoes, slip, find a belly button ring that doesn't show quite so much through the fabric of said dress, purse or no purse, order flower for boyfriend AND also corsage for daughter because boyfriend doesn't feel like ordering corsage and his mother won't do it for him, nails, hair, makeup, be careful with my car (boyfriend is 17 and does not have his license).
Did I mention I will be glad when tonight is over. Truly love her to death, but yikes! Talk about high maintenance.
I have heard it's not at all
uncommon for an older child to go back into diapers and back on the bottle when another baby comes along for the same reason - a plea for attention. My husband is only a little older than his sister, and that's what he did.
So your son simply needs more of your time and attention. I hear 4 and 5 are the most fun ages anyway. :oD
I heard that too...sm
Boy, I hope not...that'd be too weird. I won't watch it either if that happens...
I have never heard of her. I just
read on a spoiler thing something about her and was wondering who she was?!
Never heard of that . .
just the Plott, which was just recognized by the club. It is a short-haired beautiful hound. You may be right, as there are unusual breeds, not yet recognized by the clubs. If you ever watch Crufts Dog Show in England you will see some dogs we do not yet recognize in our clubs.
Thanks for this, I have never tried it but heard about it
and now of course never will try it. I never thought of the fumes, probably would have if I had tried it.
Never heard of it. Do
you get them in stores or have to order them?
Tell me more, have not heard about
NM
Well, actually have heard of this before
so maybe just not able to obtain vitals and so therefore declared?
I never heard of
Curvelle. Is it an appetite suppressant?
Anyone heard of this
before. My best friend (a male age 50) began to experience severe headaches two days ago. He has been under a lot of stress. Then about a day and a half ago he came down with flu-like symptoms with violent vomiting. His headache became so bad that he took himself to our local hospital. They ran tests and diagnosed him to have an aneurysm. He was rushed to a big hospital in Chicago via helicopter earlier this evening. After running tests there it was determined that it is not an aneurysm but just a "bleed". The doctor said that it is normal for males between the ages of 46 and 60 to have this occur. Have you ever heard of this ? I am worried sick about him.
I was a fan before anyone had heard of him
did a short-lived Fox series - can't even remember the name of it now - but this may have been accidental. He apparently was having difficulty sleeping and told friends that 2 Ambien was not working for more than 1 hour.
I heard that, too.
You are supposed to keep them in the carton inside the refrigerator instead of in the door b/c the door is not cold enough to be a safe temp.
I have heard it all
As dictated:
The patient states her is unable to keep anything down.
Thanks - Never heard that - (sm)
Nice lead singer - (woohoo again)
I had heard somewhere
that women only have 2 or 3 hairstyles they look good in anyway. I know - that's about all I've had my whole life (I'm 49). I keep mine above the shoulders becuase I have a long face, and it pulls it down otherwise.
I have heard this too
I sure wish I was middle class.
You may have heard
As you may have heard, the Bush Administration said each of us would get a rebate check to stimulate the economy.
If we spend that money at Wal-Mart, all the money will go to China . If we spend it on gasoline it will go to the Arabs, if we purchase a computer it will go to India, if we purchase fruit and vegetables it will go to Mexico, Honduras, and Guatemala, if we purchase a good car it will go to Japan, if we purchase useless junk it will go to Taiwan and none of it will help the American economy.
We need to keep that money here in America . The only way to keep that money here at home is to spend it at yard sales, since those are the only businesses still in the US
Has anyone heard of this
I work for an ENT doc and he was seeing a patient that had "multiple synechia" in each side of the nose due to putting green onions in his nose. I was just wondering why the patient was doing this?
Thank you. Never heard of that! NM
xx
I have heard enough, too!
I always felt they planned this stunt. They wanted to do something to get their 15 minutes of fame. I feel sorry for the baby.
Oh, you heard that one too!...nm
//
I heard this too
They say it sounds weird but it works.
Here is what I have always heard. sm
If you drink and it changes your personality, you have a problem. Otherwise, if you can drink and your personality stays the same, you don't have a problem. I personally drink 2-3 liquor drinks an evening. In this business, we need something to calm us. Tell your roomie to mind her own business. I think if you were drinking that stuff with your coffee in the very early morning, I might say you have a problem but otherwise drink on!
I heard the same ads
And they were sponsored by our electric company. I figured they wanted us to think they were concerned for us, but didn't want us to save TOO much on our electric bill. So they stuck with suggesting the switch to the fluorescent bulbs and unplugging appliances.
We're better off shutting off lights (and reminding our kids!) and shutting off our computers at night.
Never heard that...but maybe. nm

I always heard with first
urination in teh morning, since you have slept all night, the urine is more concentrated.
have you heard?
you know nothing about my life. You should not assume that in your post. Thank you though to all the others who answered. I have always watched them when I was excited about who it was for. Its exciting to be part of history. Have a great evening all. 
I heard on GMA
That she was implanted with fertilized eggs and they all "hatched." The doctors wanted to selectively reduce, but she refused. I don't get it...already with 6 kids...in this economy?
GMA also said that the grandfather of the babies is supposed to "go back to Iraq" to do some contract work to support the family. Very bizarre situation...but as has been said before, and more certainly now, she will have her own TLC show before long...
