THAT episode is the ONLY episode in the whole series that was
absolutely superlative! Visually stunning. Thoughtful.
Thought-provoking. Emotionally touching. Sensitive. It was
everything that stupid series SHOULD have been, and only was this one
time.
So, Joan, assuming you liked it, so did I. I was even very impressed
by it. Again, a great pity that the whole series couldn't have been
like that.

Awwwwww... so sweet of you to say so.
Got some major stress in my life at the moment (nothing to do with the
petrol shortage although if any of you Merry Cans have any to spare
please send it to me....) and have recently *not been bothering* to log
on for *days*. Aaaaaaaaargh!
We've just had the first of the Princess eps. BBC are advertising it as
first of two but I thought there were three eps in all. We haven't had
'My Three Crichtons' yet.
The Princess saga is looking good although I wasn't too impressed by the
Scarran papier mache(sp) head. Love all the stuff going on between the
characters and thankfully have forgotten most of the spoilers I read
here. :) It is sometimes difficult to take an active part when I
haven't a clue what you lot are talking about but rest asured I will
always be here. I have always been here..... (sorry wrong prog)

Thank you but please send the entire BP station.
No - it's ours and you can't have it........

Not when you open the first can. It's only after you realize you're

You need to get that boy on a diet son........
Mix canned pumpkin in with his food - 1/2 and 1/2 - he'll
drop that 20 or so quick - a little exercise and you can
put him back on a regular cup and a half a day of dry.
Seriously, try the pumpkin thing - canned is fine, but if you
can get fresh, all the better. You'll knock 10/15 in no time
and can monitor from there.........
Winter weight isn't necessary for domestic dogs - they are fed
on a regular basis thus don't need to store fats. As long as
they are kept out of the wind, they are fine. They have fur
coats, remember? And where they sweat through their paws
and tongues, as long as they can keep those warm, they are
fine.
Happier with less weight also.
Another approach if you are reluctant to use the pumpkin,
is to got with a food that has less protien - like a 18
or 20.........of course that depends on what you are
feeding him.

You know, I just had this experience for the first time, recently. It's
shocking, isn't it? I mean, I've used the same bit to drill through
sheet steel, no problem. But, one minute on that gummy slop in particle
board (my dad always said, "press board;" same stuff?), and it was dead,
dead, dead.
Does anyone else remember "Bugles"? Gawd, they sucked, didn't they?
Mostly, they sucked because, notwithstanding that they tasted like
(actually were?) salty orange styrofoam, they were _more_ addictive than
Pringles. I mean, when I feel nauseous, bloated, and sick, I can
actually stop eating Pringles. Not so with Bugles. It was
eat-to-the-bottom-of-the-box, every single time. Only safe move was to
buy them with a friend, so you could eat only half. Of course, that
made an addict out of your friend, which maybe the manufacturers
expected; damned clever of them, I'd say.
Without getting all scientifical and stuff, it is the heat buildup
from cutting all the f'in glue that causes it. And yes, it is often
called press board.

I didn't have a Bugles addiction (among the more noxious addictions
I've suffered through over the years), but I did have this thing for
Cracker Jacks. I could put down a bag of caramel pop corn for instance,
but Cracker Jacks - go through eight/nine boxes - even way past the
time that I got sick to my stomach.
I swear they put something into Cracker Jacks just to get me to eat
them.
If only I could focus his chewing power where I wanted it.
It's called training.........
I will be very impressed if you can train a dog to chew in a selected
spot on command.
You need to visit then. With the exception of my pup who is still
getting the idea, the dogs chew what I tell them when I tell them.
I keep frozen marrow bones filled with peanut butter and dog food.
That's what they chew and I allow them so much time to do so. I
don't have a chewing problem with any of them.
They also pee and poop with the "do it" command. Very handy on
those cold snowy nights with the wind howling at 20 mph. "Do it"
and it's done and over with. Also handy when they travel with me.
I can put all four dogs into seperate corners with the down and
stay command and they will stay there until I release them.
I hide things around the house and have them look for them. They
are excellent frisbee and tennis ball dogs.
They all heel with and without a leash when walking. I tell them
to stop and they stop. I tell them to go and they go. I give
them puzzles to work on during the day in their play pen and
it keeps them mentally alert. They also have hidey holes in
the pen and are constantly playing hide and seek.
In short, training my friend - lot's of time and training.
I've thought the same thing many times. Not in relation to a
dog, tho.

Normally I'm a salty eater, but give me a jar of Nutella and it will be eaten
until the jar is empty. It was thoughs darn A.T.H.ers that got me started on
it.

Bugles with that crappy aerosol cheese is amazingly addictive. You
spray the cheese into the open end of the bugle, then eat. I could
go through a whole box of bugles and a whole can of spray cheese
before I was aware that I had even opened the box.
You are not very aware of your surroundings are you?

My gawd, that sounds disgusting. Wasn't it hard to get the cheese in
the Bugle? What kind of cheese was it? Was it that school-bus yellow
cheddar? I bet it was that yellow cheddar. Sure was salty, I suppose.
Sounds okay, sort of. Wonder if the Safeway is still open... Okay, now
I'm scared...

Calling this stuff cheese would be doing it a great favor. I think
that their marketing department settled for 'cheese product' or
some such label.
It's hard to imagine any real cheese coming out of a spray can. I
haven't had the stuff in just over 10 years now, but I can still
remember the aerosol aftertaste in my mouth after eating it.

Well, there is this funny incident from a couple of weeks ago:
I got handed a file box full of documents to review for a client at
about 4:00. I decided that I would start in on the docs and then
leave at about 6:00 or so to meet my girlfriend for dinner. In
the meantime, I press the 'do not disturb' button on my phone (and
turn off my cell phone) so I can remain unbothered for a while at
least. I started plowing through the papers and totally lost all
track of time. After what I thought was a short while, I got up
to stretch a bit and turned my cell phone back on. As soon as I
turned on, I got a call from my girlfriend who sounds like she is
in a total panic. She told me that she had been trying to get a
hold of me for the last 2-1/2 hours since I didn't show up for
dinner. She had called my office several times, called the police
station and was starting to call some hospitals. Apparently, I
was so engrossed in the docs that 5 hours had passed.
This can't happen anymore as she made me give her the code that
overrides the 'do not disturb' on my phone.
On a separate subject, am I the only one who believes that Stork
Chocolate Riesen is the most addictive substance on the face of
the earth?
