My friend had a pair and LOVED them!

They were like her children, as all pets can become. They did have a smell, but I don't think it was any worse than say rabbits or even hampsters...just different. Kinda skunky but kinda not. Both did sadly die fairly young, however, of kidney disease, which I guess is pretty common among them as a species. This lady was absolutely heartbroken, but she was right back out there looking for a new pair last time I saw her.
They had a massive cage with these hammock things and were always snoozing when I saw them, but I guess they spent a good deal of time outside the cage, running around the house, doing whatever it is they did.
If they make you happy, go for it!

I broke down and got a pair of dedicated....
single-vision computer glasses. HUGE difference. They definitely aren't pretty because I wanted to keep the cost as low as I could, but my headaches are all but gone now thanks to them.
My other pair of glasses are bifocals, which I can use for work in a pinch like if I lost my computer glasses, but what happens is I wind up tilting my head too much to use the teeny bifocal part to see the monitor, which in turn causes headaches from muscle strain.
To save a TON off glasses, take your prescription and get them at a wholesale place like Sam's Club.
Good luck!
Bungalow. (you say what you like, then give another pair).

Bath/shower gel? Pair of earrings?
Nightgown/pajamas? Gloves/ scarf? Candle? CD or DVD? Purse? Movie tickets?
A beautiful pair of diamond earrings and a
gift card from Coach to buy a toally frivoulous handbag of my choice! My husband is the best!
Maybe with a pair of plyers and a pick-up truck?

No, but I do have a new pair of shoes I've been wearing a lot (sm)
I was kind of wondering if they might have caused it. I think I will just stop wearing them and see what happens.
Thank you
red tailed hawk and a pair of blue herons..sm
were the most facinating to me, very majestic...the wingspan on the herons is gigatic! We also have seen a family of wild turkeys recently and always cardinals here in KY. When I lived on the south shore of Long Island in NY there sandpipers, terns and egrets and one winter there was a snowy white owl (like on the old cigar boxes). The seagulls get a little loud though. The birds are a real pleasure...
Can't wait till spring!  Cat
Um, with the economy in shambles, I kinda have a problem with her wearing a pair of $500 shoes!
Her hubbie talks about Americans become financially responsible and she's walking around in a pair of sneakers that would cover my rent!
a friend's b/friend died last year, drank, took vicodin...
Loved it!!!. nm
Ha Ha
I loved NC
I was 20 miles north of charlotte. I think NC is a beautiful state. I would love to go back some day to a metro part of NC.
We have had them and loved them...
got my daughter one when she was about 13 (she is 25 now) and she has had 3 others since. Ours were all descented, though they did still smell some, but just gave them baths, which they love! We got such a kick out of watching Tinker (our first one) run throughout the house stealing socks and hiding them under the couch. Never had a problem with them, they sleep most of the time, ours were never aggressive towards us. Our cat and ferret got along wonderfully. Just like anything else in a cage, you have to keep it clean, but that is to be expected.
Me too and I loved it. nm

Loved.

Loved my mom, but.... sm
Sunshine, when I look back, I wish I had not taken what my mother said as gospel. I would have used my own discretion as to right and wrong behavior and SHE would have to grow up and accept it. You know in your heart what is right and wrong or you would not have asked us for advice. Your Mom needs your love, but you also need to be your very own person. You have a new life now which includes your husband. Do it for him, go with him and if they don't want to go along, tell them you will look forward to celebrating with them next day. In the meantime, they can "be your guest and have a good time until you get home." You take care, be strong!! All the things Mom teaches us are not exactly the right thing to do. Be fair.
Loved it!
These things happen all the time and we have to laugh at it. Just read your local newspaper for more. We are wordsmiths, so we have to have a little humor now and then. We were celebrating a birthday, an anniversary and something else all at once, so we asked to have "Happy Occasion" written on the cake. We had a terrible time getting "occasion" spelled correctly by those behind the counter. Blame the school system, not the cake decorator.
LOVED IT
although it was sad, it was very funny in parts, and had an awsome ending, can't believe the reviews were so bad, favorite movie since The Holiday. Loved seeing Denny from Grey's Anatomy in it. And yes, I need a poster of Gerard Butler now on my wall, LOL!!! My new fantasy man.
Loved it. Thx

Yes and I LOVED IT
I loved that show--how you doin.. Heehee
My dog is very much loved thank you ---
what I mean is that I will never, never get rid of him so that no matter how much he irritates me by marking up everything I have in the house, chewing up my things that he can get to, scratching up my hardwood floors, pulling down my curtains when he wants to play, then I have about 10 more years of headaches because I love him dearly and he is not leaving this house!
So don't feel sorry for my ball of fur - he is very spoiled and very much loved!
I loved 4H
But could be because my best friends mom taught it and we were all together all the time. I have to admit the most I remember about 4H was learning to can food, basic nutrition, I knitted my first pair of slippers, but at 48 its been over 30 years, so I don't remember much, just that I had fun and learned stuff. Here in our town (now on the west coast) they do have 4H groups around. But nice to know there are other 4Hers out there.
P.S. - Not sure if you remember that girl scouts went like this - brownies grade 2&3, junior grade 4, 5 & 6, cadettes 6 & 7, seniors 8 and maybe 9 (can't) remember. Now there are so many branches and I get offended when they call say you have brownies and then girl scouts. I consider all levels girl scouts. Well its been over 20 or so years since I've been in girl scouts too so lots have changed.
loved it!
 Thanks and Amen!
I did and LOVED it
I just love all of them, and thought they all looked great. I still watch their original MTV series DVD and laugh myself silly.
I'll keep watching it (provided I remember when it's on...I have a terrible memory about that kind of stuff!).
That made my day, I loved it !!...nm

ooh, your's too - I LOVED YOUR POST....
I too have friends of ALL denominations - so whose is right?? I think much of it is myth....the adam and eve story whereby if woman was made from his rib, then men should have 1 less rib than woman, right? WRONG....my plastic surgeon (who I work for) confirmed that both men and women have 12 ribs.......
so that adam and eve story was shot to you-know-what once he said that to me....
oh and he's a religious Jewish person *LOL*
I loved reading this. sm
I also read it on the Comedy board and shared it with my Bible School class. Will share wtih my adult Sunday School also.
Loved the original. sm
I haven't seen this one yet, but I will. A couple of columnists have said that it is not as good as the original. One said J. Travolta was fabulous but the rest were just okay and not as good as the musical. Someone else said it didn't seem to live up to it's hype. I guess to each his own.
If you really loved me, by Ann Rule. sm
she writes true crime books, really excellent writer, one of my favorites. However, I need to mix it in with chick lit, recently finished The Devil Wears Prada. Had the Nanny Diaries on my mp3 player (I thought the stories had a similar tone). Also like Michael Lee West book Mad Girls in Love, because it takes place in Tennessee, and she had some familiar places in it. Want to read some of her other stuff.
I loved them both, but get the books
and then nobody will have to talk you into seeing the rest of the movies, LOL.
Plus with the movies you don't get into Harry's head as much, and that's where you get to know Harry. I can only imagine that people who only see the movies don't know him nearly as well as the readers do.
just curious - did you see any of your loved ones? sm
i too kinda believe in reincarnation. mom my swears my daughter is my sister reincarnated. odd, but lots of similarities.
I loved the first couple of those they did but since then
it has gotten just too cutthroat for me, and the people they have on there are not likeable enough to make me want to root for any of them.
Loved, I agree (nm)

Loved all these fun movies sm
You had Joe Pesci correct. I am not a person who swears a lot but he swears so much, it gets hilarious. Of course, I watch him with no kids around. He swore so much in Casino that I was laughing all by myself. Husband and I are getting older, so we joke about Python's skit - Bring out your Dead! But I'm not dead yet! So hilarious! Thanks for the laughs. No offense meant by the swearing, I just love Joe Pesci, loved him when he was ordered by the court to live in his own slum houses. I am sure he's a much nicer guy in person. Thanks for the memories.
Wow! I loved all the replies!
What a bunch of great things everyone did! Really cool. I don't mean to brag about us MTs, but I do think we are a cool bunch...lots in common too! From loving Wii and video games and fun and intelligent TV marathons to everything else listed. It is so nice to know we all have so many things in common and that we are all "out there" keeping each other company! I remember being an MT not so long ago before the I-net, and not even really knowing anyone quite like me.. now I don't feel so alone rather feel quite in good company! Thanks for writing and keep letting us know what you did, and or are still doing. Kind regards and thanks again the Holiday MT. :)
My dad has always loved butterscotch, so...sm
I thought this sounded like a good desert to try for him. It has been a long road for me and my dad, but now that my mom has passed he has been a real "rock" in my world and I am so grateful to have him. Hope he likes it! Thanks.
loved the game
I watched and LOVED the game - I really didn't care who won - I rooted for both times - love both quarterbacks. . . totally enjoyed the whole thing - even most of the commercials. . my fiance isn't much of a footbal fan, so I mostly watched by myself - used the game as an excuse to have lots of snacks.
have always loved your name - got you beat
on age - but my Ipod goes from Creed to Peter Gabriel to Staind to Paul Rodgers and in between Lonestar and Indigo Girls and Oh, my new favorite song - the theme from Saving Grace by Everlast! It is so much more convenient than the CD player. I got a little shuffle cause I wanted to start slow and make sure I could work things and I'm doing fine.
Oh, thank goodness, I loved seeing her but
my heart just broke to see her sit there, apparently getting passed by and so wanting a forever home. I have not seen the ad yet but will be so happy to see that precious pup again.
I did the same thing and LOVED it!!
Or, just use 2 pillows, one for under the belly, one between the legs.
HA HA HA - loved your comments
Perfect...lmao here....I'm going to cut you off, I hope you believe that. HA HA HA....too funny. I can tell you've got a great sense of humor and also a wonderful outlook on life.
Oh, I loved Sommersby...sm
Definitely one you think about long after it's over. Hated Brokeback Mountain, though. Not a love story by any stretch of the imagination, just Hollywood pushing the envelope.
I loved my Sheltie...sm
But he wasn't the best with kids, even though we got him when he was a puppy. I don't know if it was just his personality. He was okay with my kids, but he didn't care for other kids when they visited. Just thought I'd throw in my 2 cents.
Well Oprah loved it! I want to see it.
Maybe tomorrow.
LOVED Mad World
I actually thought it was his best performance yet, although Tracks of My Tears last week was right up there, too. Mad World was fantastic! Sent chills up my spine.
I loved this - thanks for sharing! NM

lol, loved your comeback! That's great ; )

I had a Baby Alive when I was little, and I am almost 40 now, LOL. I loved her! nm

Loved Montego Bay but I have very sensitive
nose. I would certainly return there but only with a clothes pin. I think toiletries such as soap and deodorant might be an expensive thing to buy on the island.
I used to vacuum my horse! He loved it! (n/m)
.
I LOVED Milo & Otis!
And that supa-gay song "We're gonna take a walk outside today, gonna see what we can find today, gonna take a walk outside today...."
Those little Pugs are something awful cute!
I loved it when my grandkids used to stay
with me. Always knew what the next days dress was, no fussing or fighting about who had who to wear- could care less what the children liked or did not like- very simple- they just laid out their own clothes for the next day, simple for everyone.
