Good afternoon Vapers! Before I go back through and read all that I have missed because of the site mishap this morning, grrrrr, I was not happy to say the least, anywho, I wanted to ask a question and see if anyone can answer it and to see if you found as much humor in it as myself and my 19yr old soon did.
There was a commercial on this morning for scented markers:?:ummmm, last I checked that was illegal and we wanted to save our children's brains. So as we continue to watch all the different fruit scents they are advertising my son looks at me and says,"so in other words, you will have a bunch of high 5 yr olds running around" LOL as the commercial continues it says to tell all your friends about it! We fell out laughing. I told my son we could make good money on those. Before my son could respond, it then says, "as a bonus we will send you 2 scented glues". OMG REALLY LOLOLOL
Ok I understand putting whiskey on a babies gums or being so frustrated that the thought of giving your restless child cold medicine to knock them out enters your mind for a split second, but to give them markers and glue to huff:?::facepalm:
Don't we want them to stay away from this? Not buy them the drugs and teach them how to use it and tell them to share with their friends. Maybe things have changed and I'm behind the times. LOL
So am I just getting old here? :lol:

Chuckle chuckle, me thinks the guys are just a wee bit sensitive there aren't they girls:D
It would seem so...it's okay if y'all scream like a girl, I do too....rock it if ya got it lmao

Get'em girls! You do know when God made man he said,"oops I'll try again" and that's when woman was made and human making was perfected :lol:

I'm kidding guys! I love my hubster but that's still funny :lol:

Ok here's a lil something to get back at me and make fun of me guys. I love laughing at the goofy things I do. If I didn't I would cry sometimes :lol:
I have fibromyalgia and a herniated disc with bone spurs in my neck along with an illness that I have been dealing with since I was 16 and can only pray it doesn't take my life early. It is a daily struggle with pain thus causing depression. Blah, blah, blah.
This being said, I asked my doc to send me to a pain management doctor to try and help find something to help me be more functional as physical therapy can only help so much and I am petrified of becoming hooked on pain meds.

So off I go to my first appt, get checked in, and the MA calls my name to take me back to the room and begins to explain she will be taking me back to weigh me and get vitals and explains to me I will need to pee in a cup and says she will also be doing a swab test to send off. She then gives me this stick thingy with this cotton like wrapped at the end and says to put it in my mouth to the side like a sucker for about 5 minutes. We begin to walk dwn the hall to do the weighing and ....... Mind you, I have a parial for one of my front teeth that needs to be adjusted as it wears loose now--yep you know now where I'm going with this:oops: LOL sure enough as we are walking I am talking and trying to move the thingy to the side finally, as she had suggested so she can understand me and as quick as you can blink :blink:she looks at me to encage in the conversation and out came my partial and the thingy all in one. Thankfully my humiliation monitor was working that day to help with my usually slow reaction time and it seemed like slow motion but I was able to catch them both right as they were about to leave my mouth.
The MA was so kind and only smiled and acted like nothing happened but I couldn't help it, I busted out laughing and said to her, "Thank God I wasn't standing in front of the toilet".:facepalm:I am such a dork:D

Bost, we are a dog house, too. I'm convinced we have a large, invisible sign out front that says "All are Welcome" that only dogs can see. We were at 11 dogs at one point...now, sadly, down to 4.

Here is a story I wrote for our local community monthly paper:

The Dog Who Brought Flowers

August of 2000 seemed to be a particularly bad month for thunderstorms. Nearly every afternoon, a monster would roll in bringing flashing bolts of lightning and house-shuddering thunder. One afternoon, after a particularly vicious storm, I went out to check for damage and to round up anything that had blown around the yard. The dogs alerted me to something cowering behind one of the bushes next to the house.
I approached cautiously as I wasn’t sure what I would find. It could have been anything from a snake to an injured deer. What I found was a hound: soaking wet, trembling and terrified. After sitting with it for awhile, I was able to coax it from behind the bushes and out to where I could get a better look. The dog was female and from what I could tell from her teeth, seemed to be middle aged. She was wearing a collar, but no ID tags. She also had a rear leg that had obviously been broken at one time, and never set properly. Once she calmed down, I dried her off and brought her into the house for a closer look. In going over her more thoroughly, I also found that she had been recently spayed…the stitches were still there.

We went in to see the vet. While in good overall condition, they had never seen her before. He estimated that she had been spayed sometime in the last 2 weeks, so he checked with the other branches of the practice, and could find no record of her being seen by any of the other vets. He estimated her age at somewhere in the 9 to 10 year range, and she had obviously had several litters of pups prior to her spay. My thought was, why would someone pay to have her spayed and then dump her? The only theory we could come up with was that in her overwhelming fear of thunderstorms, she had panicked and run away from her home.

I placed ads on the radio, checked the “lost dog” ads and the local shelter, and the internet. I called every veterinary hospital in a 75 mile radius…no one knew her; and with her unique gait, there would be no mistaking her.

So, she ended up at Buffy’s Home for Wayward Dogs. We decided to call her “Hannah” and after a few days, she settled into the pack dynamic with the other five.

By the following spring, we started noticing some of her unique idiosyncrasies: Every morning, she would go for her “constitutional”, a walk encompassing several miles along the outer boundaries of our (and the adjoining) property. The family that lives up at the far end had children who would leave toys in the yard. Hannah started to bring home little stuffed animals. She carried them as gently as pups and would leave them out next to my car for me to find. Every couple of days, I’d take what she had collected back to their family.

One afternoon, I came home to find a wrapped, potted Calla Lily sitting next to my car. My first thought was that my husband had bought it for the garden. When I looked a little more closely, I could see the marks where Hannah’s teeth had gently grasped the plant imprinted in the brown wrapping paper. I stood there flummoxed for a few minutes…where in the world had she found this?

I then remembered seeing another neighbor working in her yard earlier in the day. I walked down, with the plant, to ask if it was hers. It was. She said she had seen Hannah on her morning walk, but had not missed the plant. She was so tickled with what Hannah had done that she told me to keep the plant. I named it “Hannah’s Lily” and planted it just off our back porch. It came up and bloomed every year.

Hannah had a long, happy life with us. She never got over her fear of thunderstorms and could sense them coming hours in advance. She continued to bring her little gifts and treasures and leave them next to my car. She accepted with grace and patience the new additions that joined our pack. In August of 2008, she passed away at the age of 17.

The following spring, Hannah’s Lily never came up.

That brought tears to my eyes. What a lovely member of the family she was.

Angie, I'm constantly clicking "What's New" at the top of the main page to see what's happening on the board. Sometimes, I hit the new members forum to offer what help I can and other times I click "My Posts" to see who posted in threads I've been to. What's New is a good way for newcomers to find what's happening on the board. It's easy to see which threads are currently active that way.

Oklahoma (at least Green Country was) is full of skunks. (and possoms, coons (raccoons that is), rabbits and all sorts of other critters that seem to love to wander in the path of cars on the highway).

You learn fast or you stink a lot. :D
