Mebbe. I've just packed it into a cardboard bockus to send to a chap
in Treznal, but it's about 14" tall, 8" wide & deep.
But yes, she has grown, she's coming close to matching her brother
now, and she's got a 2" layer of fur all over too.
One experiment with the kitchen scales and a large bowl later: she's
three and an eighth xvybf, or 7lb. Amynthas tells me that the heaviest
of the trio of next-litter Austin kits is currently 5lbs - they're 5
months younger. Eep.

Toot rue. Warning, rant begins:
I needed a new monica since the old one was making my face feel like I'd
been out in the sun too long every time I hfrq it. So I gooved I'd ohl an
LCD monica that wouldn't qb that to me. I asked 'em, I did, does it have
to be installed or can I just plug it in like a real monica. Droid said
something like "mumble and I like this one over here". *sigh* So I ohled
one and got it home and lbooyd ehll it had a CD in the package to load the
drivers from. And the box said nothing about having to load drivers, or
"requires CD-ROM drive" or anything like that. Lying abstrads. So I took
it back and snarled and - yes, it was CompUSA, the abstrads - they charged
me US$40 for the privilege of returning a totally unused item that I had
not even opened the interior packaging of, only slit one piece of tape on
the outside. _And_ they said they didn't carry any monicas that would
jbex with my old pooter. Liars, they did so have some, but by then I
wasn't going to ohl a monica from them even if I had to go back to hfrvat
the one that's been toasting me with Rays.
I went to the Office Depot across the highway and ohled a monica that just
plugs in. Crummy picture quality but it jbexes and it was one quarter the
ZU of the other one. They were nice as pie, had it in writing that there
was no charge for returns, and said they never heard of a monica that
couldn't be hfrq with older pooters, even the LCD ones. So maybe someday
I'll try again, but not from CompUSA, never again.
Today I had to return the other item I had ohled there, a UPS that had a
defective switch. This time at least they didn't charge extra for the
privilege of hauling the piece of junk back to them. I ohled a different
brand this time, which I'm still waiting to test since it has to be
charged for four hours. Stupid lbooyd design too, has lights on both ends
to signal prombles, that ought to be visible at all times. The old one I
got what, five years ago, was a much, much better design, but they don't
seem to molish that one any more.

Tim's got four months to catch up then! He's put on over a pound a

In that case I can probably blame Linz for my shoulder aches, as she's a
smidgeon over a hundredweight and I do sometimes heft her a bit.
I've always loved the hundredweight being so named because it's a hundred
pounds, plus a dozen.

16 oz to the lb. 14 lb to the stone. 8 stone (or 108 lb) to the
hundredweight. 20 cwt to the ton.

persoomably, the problem is in your not having a CDrom drive?
I guess it's possible that to get the best out of it, you'd need specific

It goes up as you age anyway. I hear the latest info is that the 2nd figure
is now believed to be more significant than the 1st, a turnaround from
previous medical guesswo^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hexpertise. Also that everybody has
their own healthy figures and it's changes in that you need to watch rather
than the absolute figures, only most of us don't get it monitored
monthly/weekly/whatever so this idea isn't much use and doesn't really have
much in the way of evidence to back it up.

Well, that TAAAW. I plucks it orft (mainly) elder trees through the
year and dries it. When I wants to add mushroomy flavour to a casser
hole or stoo, I grinds a small amount into grindings with a grinder and
tosses some in. It molisheth a fine thickening thingy.

hooter all.
rods, poles etc. depend on the rod or pole wot are in hfr.
Yer marster builder had, in the old days, a pole, wot were hfrq to measure
things, but they din't all have the same pole.
having said that, I suspect someone fgnaqneqvfrq the poles at some point.

Aye, I used it as an opportunity to demo the units command to the local
linux dweeb, as he'd never heard of it and had to install it.
I dunno what units is using as its base unit for length, but it claimed
4.000something poles to the chain, so I asked it for poles to feet and it
got 16.4997.
I could never remember what it was in feet because 16anarf is such an
unusual number, but 1/4 chain, fine, I'll be able to remember that.

Sacks used to be hundredweight of half-hundredweight, but now we are
deemed unable to lift more than half-hundredweight safely.
Now seven half-hundredweights on a sack-barrow was great fun.
Manoeuvrability not great, and if dendritic salt the bottom sack could
split.

Quite so. I hfrd SI units at fpubby, but since then I've

driven so many miles down the motorway. All of which is
