Turns out my five year old niece found an abandoned kitten at the side of the road, and brought it home. From the voice-mail message from which I heard this from her:
"What do I do with a baby kitten? Can you call me tomorrow to tell me? Bye."

Interesting to see what her father's going to do with the cat. I don't really consider him the cat type of person.

Watch.....it's going to end up at Uncle Rochey's place. :twisted:

Some people really dont like cats.


Our fishpond is fucking huge. I am not joking or anything, it is actually bigger than my room and very nearly as deep/tall as it. The filtration units are as long as our dining room in themselves.

Introduce the kitten to your Alsatian. I'm sure that will relieve you of many such questions.

Yesterday a friend of mine introduced me to a friend of his who I had never before met, and yet we're now great friends, lol, life works in funny ways. She's just like me too, kinda creepy.

On another note, imagine trying to read this whole thread through. How long would it take, we almost have 500 pages.

And next week Tuesday I will have a new phone. :mrgreen:

You mean the fact that she is like you is creepy? Or that she is creepy like you are?
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

<em> and it's sister </em> are html tags used to emphasis certain words between them. I always thought you guys added them to emphasis your name.

my guess is that on occasion the forum doesn't integrate the tag into the quote so you get the tag and then normal text for the name rather than bolded.
In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

You know the way when a person's active/inactive state is kept hidden from public view? Well, when they have the "hide my online status" thing turned on, the user's name appears on italics when he posts. Quote one of his posts, and you get the <em></em> thing.
