Sitting inside, listening to it pour and thunder outside.

Thanks, Stitchawl. I sometimes tend to forget that.

@maianhvk: And now you know.

Unfortunately, I'm reminded of this almost every day. Nobody laughs at my jokes here. They just look at me sorta sideways... Come to think of it though, they did that when I lived in the States too.

Well, just tell your jokes here. Everyone will assume that somebody ELSE's culture understood the humor.

I did eventually remember that nickname for Wednesday; KK's d'oh! helped.

Well here's the verdict from the vet: Crystal is a 1½ - 2 year old Border Collie/Lab mix puppy the size of Godzilla. She may be not yet have gone into heat.

Here are a couple of quick snapshots of her and Norton. I haven't taken a good face shot yet. Every time I call her to turn around, she walks right up to the camera lens. Bonus: The sidewalk she's standing on came with the house, but the newer looking, whiter sidewalk next to it (that Norton is standing on) is part of the sidewalk I mixed recently for the pool.

she looks like a Belgian Shepherd!

She does, doesn't she. Maybe I should have her tested. I wonder how much it costs.

She has webbed feet.

badgoodDeb · 09-13-2011, 04:04 PM

And Norton's look shows he is totally in Luuuuuuvv!

I just finished putting electrical tape on the buckle of my new belt. It's been years since I've worn a belt, because of my metal allergy, but I've been losing weight and having to buy new pants/trousers every month or so is a bit expensive so I ordered a belt. I got one which is way too long so I also had to punch 6 or 7 extra holes into it (which is quite good for ones ego

).

Hopefully the electrical tape will stay on otherwise I have to think of something else.

I wish I could see her head better. she could possibly be a Newfie/lab mix. Arrogorn's coat looks a lot like hers right now...
