ArchivesRe: Nan, (sniff) could you please hand me a tissue? (sniff) *tears* (n/t):P
in reply to a message by Nanaea
Hi Nan,
That's right. This is really a loving and forgiving lot, despite occasional appearances. But like introducing yourself into any established group, you've got to tread lightly and observe the conventions or yer toast.
JEN brought this on herself. What part of "Please take baby name opinions to Haggisbutt" do you suppose she didn't understand? The nasty part came only after repeated attempts to get the message across.
I have, in fact, stayed out of this because of health concerns and because it's been a WORK WEEK FROM HELL! That's all behind, thankfully. Let us hope JEN gets the intended message AND continues posting on this board in the appropriate context. I always feel when we just end up running people off, that we've lost something...
Totally Off-Topic, but yer a DOG PERSON: My parents, at their advanced age (late 70's), decided to get a puppy from the shelter. It's 13 weeks old, very cute, and well-behaved. Dad says it's "Lab and something else". My wife and I took one look and pronounced that "something else" to likely be St. Bernard . It's black and white, but the head's right, the build's right, the feet are enormous, and it's 25 pounds at three months. Whaddaya think: is this likely to be a BIG DOG?

******Hey, I mainly come here to chillax. :)

******Like I said before, she ain't seen *real* "nasty" yet. Some people just don't learn not to poke sticks at the wolf, until they get their hand bitten off.

******Major sympathy to you on the work week from Hell. Tho', if you ask me, Hell is a pretty cool place. :)

******You're so sentimental, Daividh . :) I don't really think anyone has ever been run off this board. Mike C. is a pretty equitable guy, and wouldn't ban someone based solely on the fact that the person in question isn't liked that much by others here. And, I don't think anyone here would expect Mike C. to do that, either. If somebody leaves, that's their choice. Ain't nobody makin' 'em leave. Unless, of course, Mike decides to ban them for the sanity and sanctity of the Board. :)

That's what I was afraid of! Fortunately my parents bought this humongous ranch-style house last year (whatever for?!) when they moved inland from Hurricane Alley so the horse won't suffer for lack of indoor room to roam.
The only downside is that my wife's already said that if the time comes when the folks can't care for it, she wants to take it. And our place is considerably LESS humongous...

It's "Danny". No Idea Why...

Well, considering he's your "brother", it goes well with "Daividh".

Weird. Dad refers to him as "your brother", too.

How perfectly eldritch! And if he needs another pet to keep him company, I'll suggest The Black Goat of the Woods With A Thousand Young !
