She should be Natasha.noob5,000,000 wrote:Chocolate on popcorn? wat.
Then again, I've discovered that if you eat chocolate, then cheddar Goldfish crackers, it tastes delicious. So maybe it's just one of those things.
I know I should go to bed, but this whiskey is like whoa.
Also, I caugth another spider from my yard. There's always an abundance of grass spiders in my yard, and last year I caught the biggest on I could find and put it in a little plastic aquarium thing with some dirt and sticks. I named him Boris, obviously. He got pretty big, I enjoyed watching him eat bugs, then he died in the fall/winter . The one I got this time is a female. I'll probably call her Charlotte. She's not as big as Boris was, but she has a few more molts to go, so we'll see what happens.

Re: Misc Thread VI: Return of the Threadi
Are there any booties for a dog with a bum leg? I took her for a walk yesterday and she tore a pad. I'm not sure if I can mitigate her lack of mobility as it relate to her pads. She end up dragging her foot and I imagine scrapping it on the asphalt.

Yes, they make dog booties. Try your local pet stores, they should have them.

I've actually considered it. She seems to motorvate well enough being effectively a tripod.

Just got back from finding my new job, starting Monday. I stretched Clifford's legs, and I got him up to a buck oh five.

I've had our '73 convertible up to GPS-indicated 105. The mechanical speedometer read 80-something.AHTOXA wrote:Congrats on the new job!

Also a couple of weeks after I got the Nazi Battlecruiser I took it up to indicated 125 on a quiet thanksgiving morning. Now that was fun.

I don't make it a habit because triple digits would be an automatic 30 day suspension of driving privileges.

Re: Misc Thread VI: Return of the Threadi
Saw triple digits a few times, once in a pickup truck, the other in a '71 Ford that we ran at 100 mph out of Denver up into Wyoming until we ran out of gas because we (longhairs at the time) didn't want to stop at the only gas station we saw (which was also a bar) late on a Friday evening with all those cowboys in there letting off steam on a Friday night. Really don't like to cruise much over speed limit anymore, but do find myself going 80 sometimes on the expressway. Then will slow it down. My truck seems to cruise nicely at indicated 73 mph.
