darebear Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 awwwww, thank you suzy. i've been let out for good behaviour ha ha the ferrets are doing fine thanks. i have soooooo gotta snap some pics of moose playing with them on the lawn. the other day, one walked between his legs, so moose walked backwards, but the ferret got faster, and then so did moose. i had no idea 70kg newfoundlands could walk backwards so fast, with their head between their legs. it was so funny.

Dr W Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Love Newfoundlands but have heard they can be a bit of a handful and also leave quite a lot of hair around the place so for the sake of my marriage probably not going to be able to have one.

Maiden22 Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 I've been looking at your profile and, if you're not too disturbed by that revelation, please allow me to say that your personal statement is most encouraging. The usual standard around here is somewhere between bone-idle illiterate and itinerant drunkard. A fellow pedantic would be most welcome in the war against the inelegant phrase and the massacred syntax. Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maiden22 Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Oh yes Bob and Pavman, it's easy to mock the afflicted. Probably why people do, come to think of it. The fact that it's easy is hardly a rational argument against it. Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert If you really wish to make a stand against this type of discrimination, and I fully agree with you that it should be stamped out, I would suggest that you join DNA, the National Dyslexics Association.

darebear Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Arrrrr DB how nice to see you again, have you been a good girl whilst you have been away from us well..... i just turned to steve and asked him, "have i been good?", and he said "no". so there's your answer! personally, i think i have been. but there again, i also think i'm bloody marvellous! went for an interview on tuesday last week, and got myself a promotion . they welcomed abbi to the world of management with open arms! (although i think it'd be more apt to suggest they'd be better off running scared bwahahahaha!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert nah, i'm not too disturbed by someone looking at my profile. when i first found out about the changes, i felt rather chuffed at the idea of being stalked. but then i woke up and smelled the air. ~sigh~ no such luck. i'm glad my personal statement meets with your approval. however, my pedanticness carries with it such a heavy burden. i'm forever asked to proof read court reports and statements. o joy ~rolls eyes~ however, i feel i must point out a few obvious differences. for example, i dislike the use of capital letters unless for emphasis. i think this is simply because it breaks rules what a rebel eh? gawd, i'm soooooo sad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert I like "pedanticosity", but then, I don't have a Newfoundland and I use capital letters. And pedantry is dubious also.
