Anyone ever heard a frog scream? sm
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 of tops and also heard it is a good group.
Yes, I've heard of it...sm
My former sister-in-law had told me this years ago if guys drink this a lot they can possibly become sterile. I'm not sure why, but it was at a party and we had Mountain Dew there and she had said that.
It seems like I've heard
of cases where there was sexual abuse suspected and the custodial parent STILL had to let the child go with the noncustodial parent/suspected perpetrator. And if they try to hide the child to protect him or her they get slapped with contempt of court. I think that really sucks and I hope it is not the norm. It sounds like people were more reasonable in your case.
this is what I've heard
I heard that they are shooting it down over the ocean. It's not that so much that bothers me, its the way the govt is so "flip" about it like its no big deal. I've heard other people say that they believe gvt is testing whether they can shoot down other things....feel stupid now that I can't think of all the "correct" wording, but all in all I just don't feel comfortable with it. I don't blame you for not trusting them. I must be in your generation. We have never received any information to "let" us trust them. I think its a coverup for something bigger going on though. I also think its odd that all of a sudden now we've got satellites falling from the sky???? yeah, right, sure we do...
That's the first I've heard of anything like that. nm

Just when you think you've heard everything...
...now we have shoplifters heaving babies at store detectives.
I'm not sure why anyone would try to use a baby as a missile. They can't be very aerodynamic. Of course, he might have been carrying a "nuclear payload", if you get my meaning.

One of those "..and throw away the key!" stories.
I've never heard
That the Lord provides for drunks and fools...I thought it was babies and fools! Perhaps though, your ex is a fool. Don't be jealous of his lifestyle, he is living in an artifical reality, an alcohol-induced Utopia that will no doubt come crashing down around him eventually.
Now I've heard it all, your 4 year old?
Sorry, that's bordering on child abuse/neglect in my opinion! Poor *babies* :(
I've heard that theory before
I think it is very sad when a woman gives and gives all year long, tries to be thoughtful and generous for Christmas and probably every other gift-giving occasion, and gets no thanks at all. Maybe her DH put a lot of thought into the robe, but I doubt it.
It is about giving and not receiving and I agree with the poster below about how this holiday is really messed up. I think life is about giving, not just one holiday, but if there is such a holiday, then one should at least use that time to show his spouse that he appreciates her.
Just a little trinket from each kid that they picked out. For whatever the robe cost, he probably could have found something more personal... he does live with the woman.
I don't think the OP's post was about receiving. It was about giving. That's all she does.
I've also heard of dogs
tying right through a chain-link fence.
My dogs are fixed, thank goodness!
ROFLMAO!!!! Now I think I've heard everything!

I've only heard Will Ferrell
doing his version. I need to see that movie of his - I've just seen previews.
I've heard other people saying that, too
I don't have anyone playing sports this year, so didn't give it a thought, but I hope you're right and that the ratings aren't affected or that they change the night it is on.
I've always heard they didn't work for
breeds like huskies. We have a 6-foot privacy fence and tacked chicken wire to the bottom of that and buried it to prevent digging.
The other problem I've heard is, how will your dog react if another dog comes into his yard? Could he defend himself from another dog emboldened by the submissive-appearance he prevents due to the invisible fence? Or would another dog coming into his yard be in danger from him? What about neighbors' cats? It may not be the best idea in a lot of situations, but some people seem to be able to use them.
I've heard that the average lifespan...sm
For Siberian Huskies is 10-12 years, but that 13, 14, 15, even 16 or 17 years old isn't all that uncommon for the breed. Overall, they are a very healthy, hardy breed (at least they should be...) especially compared to some other breeds.
My husband loves Rotties, for example, and there's a terrible problem with bone cancer and other cancers in Rotties. There seems to be a genetic predisposition to it in the breed, and research is being done on that. We lost our second Rott at just 5 yrs old due to osteosarcoma in his front leg. After having the limb amputed, he did well for a few months, then the cancer came back. It was heartbreaking to lose him at such a young age. We lost our first Rottie to bone cancer too (in her hip), at 10 yrs old.
But with my Siberians, my first 2 (not related to each other in any way) lived to be very nearly 16 years old, and died basically due to old age, no cancer. I just lost my sweet old girl Alexx last month, on 01/10/2007. She would have been 16 yrs old on 04/02/2007. I still can't believe she's gone. I still walk into the kitchen expecting to see her there, napping. 
My remaining Siberian is 12 years old and going strong, fiesty as ever, but he has had cancer. He had a major, en block resection a little over a year ago where the specialist took out a football-size area of his thorax, including a portion of 3 of his ribs(!). Talk about traumatic (for me, my dog did fine! LOL). It was a recurrence of a spindle cell sarcoma, first noted and removed (and much smaller) 3 years earlier. *Hopefully* it won't come back again in his lifetime.
I've used Frontline and Frontline Plus off and on over the years for fleas. We've never had ticks. And since moving to where we are now, not far from Palm Springs, our vet's office has said fleas and ticks aren't a problem here, so Frontline isn't necessary. I was skeptical about that at first. But so far they're right, and we haven't had to use anything for fleas or ticks, which is a nice surprise. I do worry about the fact that such strong chemicals are put right on their skin (and I would stay away from Hartz flea/tick products too, from what I've heard), but as far as it maybe causing cancer, I don't know.
BTW, my advice to all pet owners is to consider pet insurance. We use Veterinary Pet Insurance:
http://www.petinsurance.com/
I think it's worth it for the peace of mind alone, so you don't have to worry so much about the cost if your pet needs expensive vet care.
Have fun! I've heard it's an awesome show.
What a sweet nephew! But you know what they say, what goes around comes around so I'm sure he appreciates all you do as well. Have fun! 
That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
A cat is a natural predator to those small mammals and birds and I don't see any of them going extinct because of cats.
I do agree that house cats should be kept inside, but only for their own protection and that's only my opinion. My cats stay inside exclusively.
I've heard they are good for homemade..
pizza because pizza has to cook in a 500+ oven. The stone helps when domestic ovens only go that high.
I'm no cook, that's the 'gist' of it, stones.
You can Google the info tho.
Ever watch Sam the Cooking Guy? He cracks me up.
I've heard it's Preparation H (too embarassed to buy it)
x
I've never heard that it prevents lice. That's a new one to me.
I always thought that children's shampoos were marketed saying that they didn't sting the eyes. I never found that to be true, however. Johnson's Baby Shampoo stings my eyes. Some contain detanglers, but I had boys who always had short hair, so that wasn't an issue for us. From the time they were babies until now, I've always bought whatever was on sale or least expensive. Most times, that turns out to be Suave.
I've heard of notereader scopist
Back in the early 1990s I took a course called Notereader Scopist. They read court reporter notes (those long skinny papers that looks like a cash receipt) and types them into documents. Not sure if that is the same thing. I had found the course through something called At Home Professions but just didn't finish it because it was too expensive. Unsure if this is what you are referring to. I do remember it was a blast learning.
If this was the most sensational story you've eve heard in your life sm
then count your blessings. I know personally in my family and through others, of women/girls who don't know their baby's daddy (does the name Maury ring a bell), drug abusers, child loss, living such a worldly, superficial life....
Her life was not surprising to me. She was just a looker, just gorgeous if you ask me, and so she was like a bright light you couldn't take your eyes off, yet annoying if you stared too hard!
I've also heard about paint ball guns...
they shoot people walking or riding on the sidewalk/road. And those things HURT...what's up with the youth of today? Are they really that bored, I mean, they have sooo much more than we (most of us) did when we were growing up. Maybe that's the problem, they're spoiled...anyway, I do hope they get caught. Thank goodness for my good kids!
Isn't that a shame? But it's not just a recent thing. I've heard of it
//
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.
I've heard in Calif they pull from both DMV and voting records
probably to widen the pool - so no help from me - sorry!
I've heard superglue is almt as good as Dermabond.
d
I've been running around all day - heard a bit on the radio, but 9 DEAD? Oh goodness. Lord,
help those families right now, God. And that entire city. I used to live there. Can't recall that mall, though. I used to go to 2. If anyone is in that area, I used to live in Bellevue (the Air Force Base there). Where was this mall in Omaha? thanks for any info.
What is the MOST outrageous thing you've seen/heard while working in the medical field?
While working in an oncology office I had a heartbreaking conversation with a newly-widowed young mother of 2. Apparently healthy husband suddenly turned up with a brain tumor, which killed him pretty quickly. The life insurance company did their due diligence and investigated the case, since the policy was issued only weeks before the diagnosis; but the patient had NO indications of illness at the time, and the medical records basically proved the negative; he hadn't been to a doctor because he wasn't sick.
In the course of discussing the point with the claims examiner, the widow told him it wasn't about the money (although she was going to need it to raise her 2 kids by herself). She'd FAR rather have her husband back. The claims examiner said he'd far rather have the woman's husband back too...
... wait for it ...
... because if he were still alive, he'd still be paying premiums to the insurance company!
Yes, it really happened.
I suggested the widow contact the state insurance commissioner's office and report the guy. Even if what he said/did was not precisely illegal, it was WRONG, WRONG, WRONG.
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 good things and about things about taking prednisone. My mom was on it for SM
for awhile and it made her look so swollen. I sympathize with you.
If you've got one, you've got bunches!
How do ya feel about cats? That's what I'd do...get a cat...but I love cats and love it when they bring me 'presents' of dead varmints.
If that's not an option, and you're not comfortable with baiting, glue traps, or that sort of thing, it'd be worth it to hire a professional 'cridder ridder' or exterminator. Those things will chew up your walls and floorboards like you have no idea and cause incredible amounts of damage. Good luck in your jihad!
I've done this 12 yrs and I've had to take breaks sm
Took a break and worked at my kids preschool one year, worked at a hospital one year, took a couple months off once. It does burn you out because it takes all of your concentration. When I worked at the hospital as a secretary I could not believe how easy the job was ;-) I was sooo used to just getting paid for actual work that when I had a conversation with a coworker or a phone call or took lunch, I felt like I was getting away with a lot! I hope your break works out!! I wish you lived close-by, we could take turns watching each others kids ;-)
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.
