April is here!
I would like to start this thread off with an official announcement. I have decided to give up on my masters thesis and move to Hawaii. I will be opening a bunny sanctuary there. =D
I’ll join you!
haha.
So I tried weighing Harley the other day on my bathroom scale and he’s weighing someone were around 9 pounds! Could be more or less it was wobbling a little bit. Sally weighs 6-7 pounds and Bam weighs 4.2 pounds from his neuter last week.
Haha! Did you put him in a box or container first? I don’t think either of mine would hold still enough to be weighed at home. Of course when they go to the vet, the tech just plops them on the scale and they just sit there.
I weighed myself holding the crate and then I weighed myself holding the crate with them in it. Separately of course :p
HaHa! Count me in too.
Well today its my day off and I am celebrating with some chocolate and Binky Bunny! Tomorrow morning my salon is going to have a commercial shoot so that will be fun! Kinda excited and nervous about it as I have never been filmed while doing hair. :/
Hmmm… What am I doing this month?
Dillan is getting neutered on the 18th, I am so nervous!
A little fluffy by the name of Stevie has wiggled his way into my life….
Hawaii isn’t coming quick enough LBJ! So when are we meeting? It’ll take me 2 minutes to grab my toothbrush, tog’s and Henry and I’m OUT the door! Swimming costumes for the bun’s are optional NBO – some are going nude
and some are even sharing bunny clothes….. Ha ha ha ha!
How cool BunnyLady! (Jami). YAY everyone – we have a ‘famous’ friend! I wonder if there is anyway we can see the commercial on the internet????? I would LOVE to see it!!!!!!
Hang on LEL
Is Stevie Dillan’s new name? Or is this a (cool) name for ANOTHER bunny?
Oh, and my daughter is coming for dinner tonight – and no, I’m not hitting her up to help me make the beds, LOL! (I’m letting her be a guest tonight).
Dillan is staying Dillan.
Stevie is… well… not a bunny.
Goodluck and may you be successful in opening a rabbit sanctuary!
Who is Stevie? A piggy? Or a new and very hairy boyfriend?
HA HA HA HA bam – I was thinking the same thing! Which is it LEL?
Haha right?! LEL spill it! I think we are all curious
Andi I would imagine it would be online once it’s done, but I will check on that!!
Yes please Jami! and you may need to give me directions on how to find it online???? (silly me and computer stuff!) LOL!
Lol that’s if I can figure it out Andi! I think we are in the same boat when it comes to technology![]()
If anyone wants to follow me, Bosse and Lola on Instagram, our username is BobsandLolabunnies ! I would love to follow some fellow binkybunners ![]()
Got home from work awhile ago. All the animals seem to have a bad case of the crazies. I think it’s spring hormones. Everyone is in baby-making mode, but we aren’t allowed to breed so we just have crazy animals. LOL There has been quite a bit of nest building though, which is kind of cute.
BunnyLady – Oh that sounds like fun!
AndHenry – Yep, they will all be sharing clothes and toys. Just not naners. Everyone has to have their own.
LEL – Oh boy! What is it? What is it?
Svandis – I don’t have an instagram account. I never really understood it.
Gordon – You can come with too. ![]()
I just got home from work too! A long day for me. I was at the salon for 12 hours today and I am pooped! Lol I seriously cannot wait to go to bed, but I had to get on BB first…you can see were my priorities are! Well, our commercial shoot went great today, and once it is all put together I will let you all know
Haha, oh yes …I don’t think the sharing of food will be a good idea. And Lulu probably wont want to share her Bumble baby. She is awful protective with him
Svandis I do have an instagram, but I couldn’t get the hang of it..plus it was too hard to remember to use that for a picture so I just the regular camera app.
Oh dear, I just realized something. I have to face the vultures tomorrow. =O I’m hoping I make it out of there in one piece.
I’m not sure what’s going on with my school-stuff either. I got a few suggestions on who to ask to be a new committee member. I emailed my adviser with the choice I thought would be best and asked how he felt about me asking this professor. No answer. This was yesterday too.
Bunnylady – What’s a Bumble baby?
Well my husband got in a car accident. Our brand new truck no more. He ran a red light and got hit when he was turning left. Not sure why he ran it. He said he was stopped at the light and when it turned green for the cars going straight he went, even though the turning light was red. I guess when the cars next to him started moving he reacted instead of looking at the light realizing it was red! But everyone’s okay. It wasn’t very fast impact.
NBO-Glad you hubby is ok. Shame about your truck. ![]()
Happy April, everyone!
NBO thank goodness no one was hurt!
LBJ Bumble baby is Lulu’s stuffed floppy snowman. I’d upload a picture but I haven’t figured out how to shrink it on my laptop. Anyway, Bumble is the abominable snowman from the original Rudolph the Red- Nosed Reindeer movie. ![]()
Yeah the car rental people will be here in a little bit to give My husband a ride to get his rental car. And they are sending someone to tow it for us to get repaired. Our insurance is taking great care of it!
Thank God for insurance right?!
Agreed! We basically don’t have to do anything lol they’re doing all the work ![]()
Good for Ins. NBO Glad no one was hurt
I bought this cane peice. Neighbor drilled a hole so I screwed it on this pole here. Used it for quite some time. Then it fell. Broke. Boohoo.
I
I used gorilla glue and it expanded in the screw hole. So now I can’t use it. Boo Hoo. I have another one tho.
Here is the cane I ordered last year from ebay. A man from a tribe in south america somewhere carved a lot of different things this walking stick cane being one of them. I cannot find them again.
It had wooden ears but is top heavy and kept falling and breaking the ears off. I kept super glueing them on and eventually lost them when they broke off. So I made some. These are the best I could get after numerous attemps to make some that look decent out of the ears from my slippers to material.
When I set it down I put it top down so that way nothing else breaks when it falls. I added a tail to it as the tail on it people couldn’t figure out what it was. My hand covers the original hand carved tail.
Uhhhhh, how is it already April?! :/
I think it’s so cool how you can carve something with such detail out of wood, or really any material for that matter.
And seriously Tessie because it really doesn’t feel like April!!
LBJ10, its very easy to use
its basically like fb but only pictures. I’m scrolling through Instagram more than I’m on fb.
Bunnylady, you can use your regular camera and put those photos up on Instagram (you just put up existing photos stored on your phone) that’s what I do.
Scans is can I then upload them here thru Instagram?
Svandis can I then upload them here thru Instagram?
Hmm not through instagram directly, but instagram pics will also save on your phone amd you can put those up on here, the files are small enough when they go through instagram
Who’s DUMB idea was it to ‘Spring clean’ in Autumn???? That’s right – mine! DOH! I am barely half way through (after 2 days) and I have found bunny fluff in places bunny fluff shouldn’t be! At a distance my house looks clean, but gee, when you get up close and have a good look I’m embarrassed to say it’s quite grubby (my OCD has let me down). OK back to it (I so don’t want to), ho hum……![]()
Wow, this was a crazy day! I was right to be wary. I tried opening the door to the vulture pen and one of them came racing over. Then she wouldn’t let me in. So I had to go get the “stick”, which is just something to put between you and them. She attacked that and then tried to pull it from my hand. Showed her the food and she immediately got up on a perch so I could hand it to her with the tongs. Go figure, huh? Everything was fine after that until I tried cleaning some stuff. Then she thought it would be funny to fly a few inches above my head to land on this perch near me. She proceeded to stare while I scrubbed right beneath her. Weird, she didn’t try to bite me then. o_O
NBO – Oh wow, he must have been in another world. Good thing everyone is okay. Hopefully your insurance premiums won’t skyrocket too much. =\
Svandis – I don’t take a lot of pictures. Do people just post their own pictures or is it like pinterest where people just pin a bunch of stuff they see and like?
Bunnytowne – I can’t see the second set of pictures. The first set are kinda creepy though. Are those just shadows or does the rabbit’s face have those ripples in it? Sorry, I’m not trying to insult you or anything.
AndHenry – We were moving stuff around at work today and you do not want to know what was underneath things. =O
Yer, I couldn’t see the 2nd lot of photo’s either bunnytowne? And NBO, I’m sure that’s happened to most of us – just not thinking and react on the colour not the signal. Poor guy – it must have scared the hec out of him!
A vulture? That’s almost as bad as the snake LBJ! You know that uncle of mine (Doctor/Professor – wildlife/animals)? He invited himself for lunch on Saturday, April 12 – good grief!!!!!! What will he say about Henry? I’ll get a lecture I’m sure, ha ha hah….. Maybe he could be your new mentor/member/advisor? (sorry LBJ – I have no idea what your talking about with your studies
way over my head). And you can keep him busy to distract him from me? LOL!
I can barely do BB and post pic’s Svandis – instagram? HUH? Lol….. (I do have some clever family member’s but I missed out on that gene), ha haha!
Hey now, the snakes don’t bite! Vultures are so naughty. They are a lot smarter than they look too.
They won’t skyrocket at all. We have accident forgiveness because of our driving record. Now if he does it again… Not too sure about that haha but I’m hoping it gave him a rude awakening that vehicles are something you have to be careful with. People seem to forget they are heavy machinery and you need to pay attention at all times. They’re deadly when you aren’t paying attention! I’ve always, ALWAYS viewed vehicles as hapeavy machinery lol it’s just my pet peeve. I don’t even talk on the phone when driving, I don’t even change radio stations when Driving…it just stays on the channel ipthats selected before hitting the road. Or if I’m driving and my husband is passenger he changes the stations. I just don’t like piddle paddling around when driving cars…lol my phone is kept put clear away. I don’t dig for anything or look for NADA when driving. Every being in my car has to wear a seatbelt at all times, or my car stays put (I feel responsible for their lives in my car so they have to…plus it’s the law!) I’m always completely aware when driving…. Its only that bad when its on main roads. I’m not that stingy in private roads lol It’s just a part of my anxiety lol I’m sure the car accident I was in when I was a young kid might have something to do with it. And I’ve lost 3 friends in high school from car accidents. I just take vehicles very seriously so when he told me he got in a car accident I got very upset, emotionally lol
But I’m over the trauma that my husband was out there daydreaming while driving a vehicle. It also upset me so much because he wants a motorcycle and something so small like that can be so catastrophic and now I’m like noooo motorcycles! But he’s going to get one anyways. Idk. It’s just a huge anxiety for me. Vehicles are lol I’m such a careful driver it’s almost pathetic haha
*phew* vent haha but yeah the equinox is not in the repair shop. They gave a nice little rental car too ![]()
If you use/even touch the mobile phone here in QLD while driving the fine is $HUGE$ and the loss of points greater. I personally don’t do it, cause you can’t – meaning I know I’m a girl and all but I can’t do THOSE 2 things at once.
My younger son wanted a motorbike when he was 19….. knowing full well he’d never save up for one, I never lost sleep over it, lol! (But if he did – I’d be mortified!!!!!). Bloody son’s and husband’s!
It sucks because I KNOW it’s going to happen. He’s going to get a motocycle one day. Making my blood pressure rise just thinking about it lol
So the buns are enjoying a salad with strawberry leaves (I had strawberries for a snack tonight) yellow bell pepper, cilantro, red leaf, romaine, kale, oregano and carrot butts from left overs from tonight’s dinner haha they eat better than I do :p
Oh! and I got tickets for the ‘Lion King’ in November! I got 3 tix, for the 2 son’s and myself. Then the son’s girlfriend said she would love to go. Guess what I’m not seeing now????? Ha ha hah!
Is it weird that Bam takes his salad to the litterbox to eat it? He’ll take whole leaves at a time and take it to his litter box lol
Nope! Not weird. Anything a bunny does is ‘no longer’ weird to me! LOL! When Henry gets his banana or apple slice he runs to a corner as if to say ‘this is mine and I’m not sharing’! Maybe Bam see’s his litterbox as his dining table????? Ha ha haha……
Or maybe he’s thinking he can do “2” jobs at once????
LBJ I know they are not the most attractive birds and have pretty disgusting eating habits but I love vultures… Their facial expressions crack me up..
Speaking of birds and weird things animals do, there is a bird at my house that loves to attack my car mirrors….. Even if I leave my car outside for two minutes, he is there, pecking and spitting on my mirrior. And now he is starting to do it to my house windows! :/
Hey Amanda – I just love your new avatar! What a wonderful way to keep Bella with you/us. And the siggy – absolutely fab as always!
The bird? Mmmmmm, no idea! (as usual, ha ha ha). As long as it didn’t poop on my car I may be ok with it? But my dog’s bark and it deters anything that gets too close to my/their home/house LOL! I once had a baby magpie in the pool garden area with mum hovering above. I closed the pool gate and bought the dog’s inside not to scare it any further. (that’s how I knew it was there, the dog’s barking). It took a few hours, and I’m not sure what mum did? but they both were gone when I checked on sunset.
So when you take possession of Henry, would you like to borrow one of my dog’s for a day or two? LOL!
Thank you Andi! I had a day off today so I made a bright and springy siggy and avatar- I am tired of winter! Although I was feeling a bit young at heart yesterday, so I made a snow bunny! Snowmen are so over rated!
Yea I will take a puppy when I come to get Henry- I better, because Henry loves his gang! ![]()
Spring! My favourite time of year. We are in Autumn now, but it is still so warm/hot you wouldn’t know it.
Henry’s girlfriend (15yo dog) is Sam – he LOVES her! I reckon it’s cause she is blind and deaf so she doesn’t see him coming so tolerates him! When he lays right up next to her (touching) she lifts her head to check on him (he tried to molest her once before he was neutered), ha hah – but when he circles her she gets up and goes outside, LOL! I’m not sure how much time we still have with her? (poor old girl), so maybe better to take one of the other’s? Silly Henry and HIS gang! You know what annoys me? Henry loves all the dog’s first, then the hubby (he adores the hubby too), and I get nothing unless I have a craisin hanging from my mouth!!! AND he’s supposed to be MY bunny!!!!!!
Hahahah!!!!
Tough love Andi. Tough love.
I’m at my parents for a few days and my boyfriend has been looking after Teddy and Loony, and yesterday he casually mentioned that he’d let them out together! ![]()
Why he thought that was a good idea I don’t know, haha!
He said it went okay though. I told him thanks for the effort, but don’t do that again unless I ask you to! ![]()
LBJ – Most people I follow use their own photos, but post a few random stuff as well
you can use it however you like
AndHenry – its way easy! A lot easier than putting up photos on BB
even my mom and mother inlaw use it, its pretty straight forward
Svandis I’m going to try that! Lol just for BB purposes
Thanks!
Andi Lulu does the same thing with her naners and apples. Snatches it out of my hand and runs off under a bed or table. They seriously need to meet one day! Assuming Henry doesn’t drink too much Coke and Lulu doesn’t eat too much chocolate
And uh vultures?! How does that work?!! I think I will stick with the cockatiel.. :/
Hey all! Happy April! This is only my third comment ever posted on BB! I am actually really excited to tell everyone Moose (my baby lionlop doe) is making her first trip back home with me today! I’m currently at my university, 3h drive from home. Can’t wait for my family to meet her! She has quite the personality! I plan on bringing her outside and maybe to a park after the ride this afternoon!
One thing I’m only scared of is my cats… gonna have to keep them in a different room!
Here are some pics!

Moosey Bear, what a lovely baby!!
Cats and rabbits can get along very well, but you have to introduce them properly, of course. But here are several members who have both bunnies and cats.
Bunnylady – awesome
whats your username on there? I would like to follow you! Mine is bobsandlolabunnies
Moosy bear that bunny is the cutest. I love her.
LBJ the carving does have ripples like fur lines. I added jewels for eyes too. Yes the last 2 pics didn’t come out good. I assume you were referrng to the brown cane I tried forever to get them on documents after taking them from my laptop webcam on littles my google chrome since I have troubles with pinky n posting pics. And you have a vulture? Interesting. What kind?
I may do pics on my phone and post. It may come out better that way.
And Henry there was a red cardinal that came to the window and pecked at it same time every day. Also Cotton does the same. He takes his treat and runs under the table or to his box to eat it unless it is real small. Its so funny
NBO I am with you about the motorcycle. I call them murdercycles. My hubby is 75 or 74 and he wanted one. I said no way. Finally I told him I trust your driving I don’t trust anyone else’s and I am not getting on that thing. How would we get groceries on it etc. So I haven’t heard anymore about it. He has been such a careful driver. I used to love motorcycles and want one myself. Then I guess I grew up.
Roberta – Believe it or not, they actually have an “innocent look”. It’s as if they are saying “I’m a nice bird, don’t mind me. I’m just casually walking around, no need to keep an eye on what I’m doing”. Then they slowly make their way around so they can come up behind you and bite your shoes. It’s the shoe laces, they want to untie them.
LEL – What kind of bird was it. There are several species that are highly territorial. We have cardinals break their necks all the time because they are trying to attack their reflection in windows.
Bunnytowne – Oh I see. Yes, the one with the brown stick part of the cane. The vultures are no more mine than “my” eagle and owl are. They all live where I work and I help take care of them.
Svandis I will have to find you! I will have to get back to you on my username…lol I can’t remember. I think I’m just going to make a new one though since I have changed email addresses. :/
Do you work at a rescue LBJ? Sorry if I missed why they have them there at your work
I have tried for long to get a job at a pet store or animal shelter, anything related to animals ugh, no luck -.- Hopefully going to get some more paintings done soon & just ask a shelter if they’d let me decorate their walls with my art for free, or see if they have something they’d want to work out if I want to do that.
Also starting target training with the bunnies, they’ve become so lazy since being bonded O_o All they want to do is snuggle, groom each other, & sleep all day. Hello!? I bonded you so you could play together & not be bored! haha
Lol target training? I instantly thought of archery, my favorite past time! Which I can’t wait to start back up again. So what’s bunny target training ?
Mimzy – It’s a nature center. We have disabled birds there. I think it would be fun to do target training with the buns. Can you do it without a clicker? I’ve been trying to figure out how to train Leopold without using a clicker, since you know it wouldn’t work. LOL
haha! I keep meaning to start clicker training!
Teddy went to the vet for his 10 day neuter check up today. Whenever we go all anyone can talk about is how beautiful he is.
We’re just like:
yes, we know….
Ugh. I decided on someone to ask to fill the void in my committee. I contacted him and have not heard back yet. I’m afraid I won’t hear anything from him until Monday now. I hate this. If it isn’t one thing, it’s another. I swear, everything has been working against me throughout this entire thing. This isn’t the first “bump”. *sigh*
Update on the drive back… She hated it, had to stay cuddled next to me the whole time.think I’m gonna wait to introduce her to the pets another day!![code] [/code]

LBJ10- a junco or chickadee of some sort
I have also always wanted to try clicker training but I have never gotten around to it. ![]()
Moosey – Aww, poor thing. =(
LEL – Interesting, those aren’t your typical culprits. But I suppose any territorial bird could see a threat in their reflection.
Got some sad news just now…. My Pascals litter mate and little sister Prada passed away… They were rescued together from a breeder in 2012 with their two brothers and other sister…. Pascal came to me as a foster Xmas 2012…
Prada was diagnosed with a heart problem last year and stayed with the rescue where she was cared for and dearly loved until she passed earlier today…. I have a triptic photo portrait of her as a baby eating carrot tops on my kitchen wall.

So sad Roberta… The picture looks stunning. Binky free Prada.
Oh no Roberta. =(
I remember something about it awhile back, but had forgotten. Sweet little Prada will be missed.
Always so sad Roberta, I am sorry. What beautiful ‘artwork’ – your so lucky.
When youngest son moved out earlier this week and his room was empty….. Henry ‘tried’ to claim it! He spent two days frolicking around. As we have slowly added other furniture, Henry has not given up HIS new room – silly bunny! Talk about moving in and taking over?!?!?
What a day! It’s Sunday arvo and I wish it was bed time! Thinking it may be time to finish up, put some good music on and have a wine or 3? Making Chicken Chasuer (from a packet mix) with added veggies for dinner – too easy! Now I just have to get my butt off the chair……
Aww, I am sorry Roberta. Binky Free Prada.
1000 posts! O_o
I am so addicted to BB!
Little Prada had a congenital heart disease caused by in breeding… The breeders she was rescued from had no morals and the buns were kept in shocking conditions and over bred one litter after the other……. Kelly and Nadia the rescuers decided to keep her and make what little time she had as wonderful as possible… I am just so lucky Pascal is healthy as he came from the same litter even if he is a big boof head.
CONGRATULATIONS LEL! So proud Amanda, he he he he……
Tell Kelly and Nadia ‘good on them’! How lovely they did that for Prada. It must make her passing that little tiny bit easier knowing she had a chance at a good life. But still so sad…. Give that big boof head of yours a cuddle from me tonight Roberta. Take care.
LEL I was just reading another post you’d commented on and saw the 1000 and I was like, woah! That’s so cool! Hahaha
Well today is turning out to be rather unproductive. Left work late because I had to comb through my coworker’s work to figure out where she made errors. And that was just to start of things. *sigh*
I did hear back from the professor I asked to join my committee. He said he was interested, so I suppose that is a good sign. Now I just need to figure out how to not be a disappointment.
I just did a mini bonding session with Bam and Harley. I was so nervous based off their first meeting I was getting nauseas lol but yeah, my works cut out for me. It’s not gonna be a Sally and and Harley bond that’s for sure. Lol not sure if I should do one on ones or all three together at once.
If it looks like it will be difficult, then one on ones to start would probably work better.
Yeah I’m going to stick with one on ones for awhile. lol I went ahead and started a bonding thread. Sally and Harley’s bond was nothing so I feel like this will be my first actual bonding haha
So… I love my netbook. But I just found out I need a new one because it will only run on XP and XP is going bye bye.
Any suggestions?
*pokes own post count* Huh… how did that get so high…
Wow, my posts are getting up there too. o_O
How about an Asus Transformer Book? Does anyone have any experience with those? Gosh, I really can’t spend more than $500 and I would prefer to spend much less than that. This Asus Transformer Book is $400 and the reviews are pretty good.
LBJ10-I have a great netbook, I will find out the version in one minute. It was $349
I have no idea what my post count is… I vaguely remember it being in the 4 figures.
I am going to upgrade my laptop shortly and I recently saw the ads for the Windows ones… The price seems right as long as they will take additional external storage and have the speed I need for downloading my files and spreadsheets.
I always think a high post count makes you like a Binky Bunny veteran, haha! I always think of you guys with high post counts like ‘better listen to them, they know what they’re talking about’!
Roberta – You’re at 2692. LOL
Tessie – I don’t know if that’s necessarily true! LOL For all you know, I could just be rambling nonsense all the time.
Well our commercial is done! It is on YouTube now, but I don’t have the link to it…it’s kinda hard to find too lol. But was so exciting to see how it turned out! Lol it was like three hours of work for 20 seconds.
Lulu was quite rambunctious this morning and getting into everything. But she must have wore herself out cuz now she is inside her box pancaked out and sleeping soundly with her Bumble baby. Lol.
I go by how they word things on the post. The numbers don’t mean TOO much to me because a new member can really sound like they know their stuff haha it does influence it a little bit though, not going to lie! But if their replies sound pretty educated and well put together I can tell they’ve been through it before or have seen it before on the forum in the past! Lol
Even though Microsoft is discontinuing support for XP, you can still use it. So long as you keep up with the antivirus software and avoid bad sites/emails. However if that’s your excuse to buy a new one, go ahead lol! I’ve been keeping my 5 yr old laptop alive with minor updates like an SSD drive and newer OS. I really only use it browse sites so it doesn’t need to be that powerful. Plus when it was new it was considered a high spec laptop, which in today’s standards makes it decent. Oh technology.
justwildbeat – I think the fear is that bad people will start looking for holes in XP, since there won’t be any more security patches. I do have antivirus software that updates regularly. My husband is actually the one who thinks I should get a new computer. I guess it is 5 years old. And the mouse clicker button doesn’t work anymore and the power cord sometimes causes the screen to flicker……
On the computer front, you might consider a chromebook if you have a regular computer too. I wouldn’t jump ship from XP just yet. I don’t know a single person who doesn’t love XP. That being said if you have a choice I would get Windows 7 instead of Windows 8. Lots of complaining from 8 users. It’s not /terrible/ but people always hate getting used to the new places that things are and this is the first tablet/pc switchover type deal that they put out so it isn’t really polished the way that Windows 7 is.
On the computer front I agree with lopnessmonster. My laptop came with windows 8 and I hate it! I’d take XP any day I’ve windows 7 or 8 actually. But you can find a good one at a decent price. I only do the basics on my PC though.
its totally A/C & frozen waterbottle time already here. possible first 100° of spring on wednesday
Win8 is ok, if you are used to a smartphone. I don’t have a cellphone and trying to do anything on my hubby’s Win8 just pisses me off to no end. Win7 is definitely better, though it took me a long time to like it over my XP pro.
I don’t know why they can’t leave well enough alone.
I can’t stand XP. I have windows 7, and love it!
Windows 8 is meh… but it’s workable.
I have windows 8 too! I hated it at first. Hated it so much I didn’t even want to use my new laptop. It’s not so bad now but if given the choice I wouldn’t pick it.
Windows 8 is so confusing! Don’t like it at all
I was looking on Amazon, there isn’t much to choose from for Windows 7. I guess I should add that I want a 10″ laptop again, I like the small size of my little netbook. I don’t want to have to buy a new case and whatnot either. Plus I want a long battery life. So yeah, not much on Amazon except some Acer Aspires and Lenovo Thinkpad. Both don’t have great reviews. They are okay reviews, I suppose. Not sure what to do.
In response to the Chromebook, I do not have another computer anymore unless you count my husband’s laptop. I do use it for word processing and powerpoint and whatnot. I prefer having Microsoft Office installed.
Try Newegg.com, I get a lot of my computer stuff from there.
I agree and disagree.
Windows 8 is great if you have a touchscreen computer. Otherwise, not so much.
So if I get that tablet/laptop 2 in 1, Windows 8 might not be so bad?
Those are rather expensive, though nice if you can afford them. I have a touchscreen netbook (10inch screen) called the “Asus X102BA 10.1-inch Touchscreen netbook AMD A4-1200 Dual Core 4GB 500GB HDMI.” It works wonderfully. And it was only $350 at best buy but it could be more or less depending on where you live. It doesn’t feel at all like a cheap computer, works smoothly.
Windows 8 was designed for tablets and touchscreen computers, so it is a bit weird on regular PCs. I have Windows 8 on both a touchscreen laptop and a tablet, and I really prefer it over Windows 7 or 8 on a regular computer. ![]()
Oh I misread your comment slightly. If you can get that tablet computer, that should work perfectly with Windows 8. Though I have never had a 2in1 so I couldn’t give you an honest review on them.
Yes, it’s the Asus Transformer Book. Sounds like it is similar to the one you bought, but you can detach the keyboard. I can get it for $375 at newegg.com (thanks MB!).
That sounds like a good choice. It should work great with win8 since it is touchscreen. If you end up getting this one, tell me about it. I have been considering getting a 2in1 for a while now. ![]()
I ordered it last night. I’ll let you know how it is. Says it comes with a full version of Microsoft Office, so I won’t need to get it from school (no way I would pay full price).
Geez, why am I always the one getting caught in the crossfire? We were working as a team to rearrange all the exhibits/furniture where I work. Everything was approved by the boss, we moved stuff around. Then I got spoken to rather harshly today about how this one thing wasn’t going to work (as if it was all my idea) and that it needed to be moved back. It wasn’t so much that she wanted it moved back (she gave a valid reason), it was just the way she spoke to me and I feel as though I was being singled out. Really, it wasn’t even my idea to begin with. But then when I try to make a compromise, all I’m hearing is no no no. *sigh* I love working there, but it’s stuff like this that makes me want to pull my hair out. At least my group of 2nd graders was very nice today. They weren’t trying to destroy everything in sight and we actually got to see some good stuff.
Yep, I’m saving this episode of Colbert. Jane Goodall was on tonight. =) I met her in person a couple years ago, but I was so nervous I didn’t say much. =\
I didn’t feel very well last night. I was horribly stuffed up and couldn’t sleep at all. I felt somewhat better today, but I had to go to work and the muscles in my legs hurt pretty bad. It sure didn’t help when I was told right off the bat that I needed to cover a hike. Oh my gosh, I thought my legs were going to give out. The kids were psychotic too and I had no fight in me. So yeah, I pretty much gave up about half way through since they were running around like crazed little monkeys. Ugh, kindergarteners.
Still waiting for my new computer. I’m hoping it will be here tomorrow.
Yay, tomorrow I am driving out of town to go to a fundraiser a friend’s band is doing. It’s going to be at a wine tasting bar, and is going to be awesome ![]()
William and Benjamin the REW boy rescue babies have their first adoption meet and greet tonight with Aly and her flat mate…. They are all set up with cages, food etc…. I’m so very excited for them but it’s going to be sad seeing one of them go… The little boy who stays tonight goes home with Jeff next Tuesday.
Sweet William was adopted tonight…. I have already had updates… He has decided to watch his new family very carefully from his new cage to assess their behavior… They are all in love… I think Bill Bunny has the perfect forever home
That’s wonderful Roberta!
Oh boy, my tracking info says out for delivery! =D
Ugh I hate how breeders handle things! This guy has a bunny that got head tilt. Bad and he was about to cull it but my ‘friend’ said she’d take him on. I told her this is something that requires vet care and antibiotics. She’s 16. She barely has money to feed all the animals she has now. She said she was gonna take him to the vet but uhh when her own rabbit broke his leg she didn’t give him vet care. She just wrapped it up and tossed him in the cage. And when her rabbit had crooked teeth and she’d have to get it trimmed she “culled” it. So I know she’s not going to give this poor rabbit vet care. She says there are home remedies. She’s selfish and irresponsible and I’m sick and tired of watching get animal after a animal. Breeding them and not giving them proper care. Tiny cages. Not cleaning them. It’s filthy and I’m so upset right now about this.
And I’m so so so SO glad she did not get Bam back! Pt hats where he originated from was that rabbit h.e. Double hockey sticks! Ugh
Wow NBO, that’s terrible. Is this the same girl you have talked about before? I know it’s hard to not think about it, but you can’t keep torturing yourself like that. I mean, I know it is terrible, but what can you really do? =(
Alright, I can definitely see why people hate Windows 8. I will need to Google how to do stuff since my new laptop came with no instructions.
NBO-How horrid! The parents are aware of this?
LBJ10-I hated it too when I first got it. You will get used to it…
Yes it’s so hard but when she comes to me and messages me telling me these things it’s so hard to just ignore it in offer her advice and she never takes it and instead tells me she’s going to home remedy it. Same with the bunny with the broken leg. She comes to me and tells me these things and it really bothers me. She has 20 bunnies 10 rats, mice, guinea pigs, cats and dogs and they are all bred or accidentally pregnant! Her mom is just as bad as she is! She struggles every month to get food. I’m sure they go without. None of them have ever had hay to eat because she can’t afford it. Yet she is making another hutch to get even more rabbits!she only has three small hutches. 24″x36″ cage with a a 24″x24″ inside area and 19 rabbits… They are crammed in THREE hutches. And they are bigger rabbits too. She has harlequins now and was wanting English lops and champagne d argents. I’m just getting frustrated to no end because she thinks what she is doing is ok. That’s the scary part. She will not admit what she is doing is wrong. She seriously thinks what she is doing is considered spoiling the rabbits! I’m just so upset and when she tells me these things I’m very upfront that what she is doing is negligent and irresponsible to leave an animal suffering like that. It’s not right and she still just won’t understand it. I care more about these animals than sparing her feelings. And she still comes to me knowing I will most likely tell her it requires vet care only for her to tell me she’s gonna do this and this instead. She said she’s gonna treat the head tilt with safeguard? I hope this heal
A. The poor bunny is only 6 weeks old. Away from the parents now and has had it the past 5 days. No treatment. This is just the last straw. She barely can feed the animals she has now and she just keeps adding! Ugh I feel like it’s on the verge of animal abuse being negligent like that. Like the broken leg especially.
I just needed to vent. I hate seeing animals suffering. I try to avoid it but when she messages me for help I get so stressed because it’s usually something that needs vet care and she won’t listen and just lets an animal suffer. And I care so much about animals so it deeply bothers me when I know there’s a bunny with a broken leg and it’s just wrapped up and in a cage. And now this poor baby bunny is sitting in her cage rolling and just sitting there waiting to overcome it herself. * sigh* vent over
I’m glad Bam is out of there seeing how cute he is. He could’ve gone back. If my husband didn’t let me get Bam he would’ve gone back to that neglectful place.
Is she willing to part with her animals for money? Maybe you can buy some of them and find them good homes. This is horrible.
NBO – Perhaps the best thing you can do for them is call someone to report the situation. Maybe a rescue group could step in. Maybe her parents could be ticketed for allowing these animals to be neglected. That way, if these animals do find new homes, your “friend” will not be able to get any more. I’m not saying this to be harsh or anything. But there really isn’t anything you can do if she won’t take your advice. So why respond to her messages anymore? Simply report them for animal neglect/abuse and hopefully the animals will get the help they need.
Atleast in the states, it is illegal to refuse vet care to a sick or injured animal. This is animal cruelty, and cannot be passed off because the girl is young or “doesn’t know better.” I would call the proper authorities, it may seem scary but many will take anonymous tip-offs. This is tortuous to the animals. I am sorry you are in this position, I know it is horribly angering. (((Hugs)))
She does sell her animals all the time. Especially when getting low on food she’ll start selling them. Then buy a 50 pound bag of food and then just get more animals off of people. Then again when she’s low on food she’ll start stressing, sell more animals and so forth so forth. But I do not have the space to purchase these animals and then rehome them. Mainly because she won’t ever sell an animal and not replace it.
LBJ, the problem with rescue is that she is providing food and water. They aren’t starving. And the cages are wired so they aren’t standing in their own feces. When the bunny broke his leg and she didn’t get him vet care I really wanted to but then she showed me pictures of him hopping around in his cast a couple days later and I felt they wouldn’t do anything since he appeared fine. And my weakness is when someone is asking for help on an animal I can’t just ignore it. Like I just can’t. I have to try and convince her in just can’t not say anything you know? It’s just something I can’t do when she asks me for help. I try my best to get her to take the bunny to the vet. But I’m about to just delete her. Id feel bad because I promised her she could stay up to date on Bam. She said she regretted selling him to the pet store yada yada. So I told her I’d keep her updated on him. (I was worried the previous owner of Bam would give him back to this “friend” so I was trying to reassure her about me taking Bam instead of her. She too was trying to get Bam when her previous owner posted him for rehoming so I was nervous she’d give Bam back to where he originated)
But I’m feeling a lot better now. I just hate seeing all that. I’m fine usually except for the medical emergencies that get left unattended.
On a good note, Bam learned the spin trick. He’s so good at it now lol he loves craisins. As soon as I let him out he jumps on the couch begging for a treat and I make him spin for it. He’s so smart ![]()
The person that gave me Bam went to The “friends” house to pick up a hotot. I’ve never been there before mi don’t know where she lives. But she did file a complaint because she felt it was unsanitary conditions. Not sure if it went anywhere though. I’ll have to ask her about it tomorrow. that was like a week ago.
That’s what I thinking was negligence was in animal abuse department. Do I call animal control or do I call a rabbit shelter?
NBO and LBJ don’t you both live in the States? Anyhow, if it were me in your position NBO I would ‘dob’ her in. I hate ‘dibby dobber’s’ but when it comes to animals I wouldn’t hesitate. And if nothing comes of it, I’d call again, and again. Even if the animals don’t get taken from her or she doesn’t get fined or a warning, she may get sick of them being on her case and either clean up her act of give up on the animals completely? Who know’s, but that’s where I’d start. Good luck.
LBJ – I finally had lunch with my Uncle and took the time to ask what he did as a Professor at the Uni’s he worked at. As soon as he opened his mouth I was lost in his intelligent conversation, so got him to write it down, ha ha ha ha….. and he writes like all Doctors so can’t read a word LOL! Anyhow this is what I could read…. PhD from the Uni of Minnesota – Head of Environmental Science. He spent quite a few years in the States. He was also the Course Co-ordinator of Captive Vertebrate Management at Western Plains Zoo/Taronga Zoo – Dubbo Zoo and more but I can’t understand, and not even sure that what I wrote is even right/spelled correctly, LOL! Is this along the lines of what your studying? Or completely different? Sorry if it is – but thought it was worth finding out for you, especially if I can pass on his email address privately and he may be able to help you out?
Anyhow, getting past all that, we actually had a lovely lunch and a fun time together – I dreaded his visit for nothing. And he didn’t go crook at me for having Henry – WOW! ha ha ha ha….
PS – How silly to be in my 40’s and worried my Uncle was gonna go crook at me for having a bunny! ![]()
NBO – If animal control investigates animal abuse/neglect where you live, then it wouldn’t hurt to call them. AndHenry is right, if they keep responding to complaints it might scare her enough to at least try to clean up her act. If you know if a really dedicated rescue that will intervene in cases like this and offer to take the animals, then it wouldn’t hurt to give them a heads up either. It really depends though. Like we have a dog rescue here that will get in there when a puppymill is being shut down and they will take the dogs. They even stood outside the courthouse one time when this lady went to trial, pleading for the judge to say she could no longer own animals. There is also a cat rescue here that is much more passive about things. They will take cats that are surrendered to them, but they won’t get involved when animal control is involved. I guess they had some issues with each other in the past.
AndHenry – You’re sort of on the right track. It sounds like he is environmental science/studies, which is related to what I’m doing. That degree is of an umbrella and mine would fall underneath that umbrella. There would be environmental studies students in some of the classes that I was taking.
Captive vertebrate management sounds like taking care of animals in a zoo. Some wildlife ecology students go on to work in zoos.
Hi everyone
sharing some possible happy news…Muffin’s tumor may be shrinking
it isnt confirmed, so all I can do is hope so far.
MK – That sounds promising! When will you know for sure?
Can’t say, it may be a while, but it looks good to me ![]()
I hope your instincts are right! You’ll have to keep us updated!
MK-I hope it is! Keep us updated!
I’m still using my old computer. I’ve been trying to figure out how to install stuff on the new one. It sure wasn’t liking my university’s antivirus software.
I personally hate any NEW gadget – I even hate when my iPhone does an update and changes the settings, it takes me weeks just to work out how to answer a call again!!!!! I am so old school I do my bills in a journal/ledger ‘book’ with a ‘pen’ – the amount of times everyone says why don’t you do a spreadsheet on the computer???? I did once and hit the wrong key and lost 3 hours of work! I never lose my journal/ledger book, LOL!
And if I want to check something quickly I just grab it from the desk and look – unlike waiting for the computer to turn on and getting into it…..
BUT I LOVE my computer – I met you guys!!!!!!
Haha! You’re so funny Andi! Yeah, this new version of Windows sucks. I’m typing this on the new computer though. I still need to transfer my files over since I will want my pictures and word docs.
Here’s one for you all….. When my son first got his hairdresser apprenticeship I started growing my hair, in particular my fringe. When my fringe got past my chin and he started to learn to cut, I wouldn’t let him touch it, ha ha ha! Anyhow my hair is long and ratty and have sported nothing but a pony tail for the last 2 years+ – BORING! So he’s coming over today for lunch (his day off) and I’m letting him cut my hair with a few foils to lighten my boring mousy blonde colour. Wish ME LUCK!
PS – He is an extremely good hairdresser, won a few awards – the hesitation is with me…. what do I want??? And once it’s cut, there’s no going back!
EEEEK! Lol!
Bam is officially a daddy to 6 baby bunnies from two of the 4 females he was housed with when the owner thought he was a girl lol. Surprised the other two didn’t get pregnant. But next weeks marks the one month mark from when I took him off her hands so we shall see. Hopefully no more meshes already overwhelmed with it :/
Congratulations Bam!
Oh my NBO! Hopefully there won’t be more. =\
AndHenry – I’m sure whatever you decide will look lovely. =)
I’ll let you all know (maybeeee) ha ha ha….. well, it’s just after 10am here, I better get up and start cooking his lunch – meat and LOTS of veg! I’m sure since he moved out he’s been living on noodles, canned soup and takeaway???? I gave him a few kitchen items thinking between him and his mates they should have everything covered? NOPE! They have 20 bowls and NO plates, lol! So I am giving him half of my plates today – I’ve been wanting a new dinner set for years, what a great excuse for me to get one. He can have the other half of my dinner setting when I do. You wouldn’t believe that just 2 weeks ago I was sad that he moved out???? LOL!
That’s how my mom justifies getting new things. She gives stuff away and buys something new. Of course my dad has his limits. When my brother moved out (2nd time), my mom gave him the living room set (sofa, loveseat, end tables, and coffee table) because she wanted new furniture. My dad was so mad that he made my mom sit on a couple of bean bag chairs for about a year and a half. Then when she finally did get to have a new living room set, she had to keep one of the bean bags because the cat and (my) dog loved it so much. So it sat in front of the big window and they could sleep in it.
HA HA HA HA! The bean bag’s!!!! Hilarious! Your dad sounds like my hubby – no way am I’m telling the hubby (he’s at work) that I gave half our plates away, and I doubt he’d even notice anyway, a bit less conspicuous than furniture, LOL!
Well, he came, he ate, he cut my hair and put the foils in. He packed the plates into his car (along with 2 extra meals for the freezer), came back and checked my hair and told me to give it another 15 minutes, kissed me on the cheek and LEFT! So here I am waiting for the timer to go off and chatting on BB with foil sticking out of my head. Then I get to go and rinse my head under the bath tub tap. I have no idea how my haircut is? But for as much as I tried to explain the image I had in my head of how I wanted my hair – I’m sure he just did what he wanted. Things I tolerate to save a few buck$$$ – hope I don’t regret it?????
That’s how I ended up with my curio. My mom wanted a full sized one so she gave me her old one. Then she wanted it back, but I told her no way. I had it stuffed full of stuff already. So now she has two newer curios, a big one and a small one. I think my dad was annoyed, but not as annoyed as he was about the living room set. What’s sad is that my brother and his friends totally trashed the furniture she gave him. This was quite some time ago though. He’s married and has furniture that they purchased together now.
I made it quite clear that everything I gave younger son now living with his mates was actually meant to be given to him when he and his girlfriend live together (they want to get married first). I did sort of the same for my daughter – I chipped in for her to buy new stuff (my crap obviously wasn’t good enough? ha haha), but she looks after it, unlike 4 guys living together?
Ok, hair rinsed and towel dried and I’m very happy. If only I had a hairdryer to dry it off…. he took that too when he moved out. Bugga!
and now we have 7 again,,, temporarily, until this little guy is strong enough to be released,
he’s probably no more than 3 weeks and slightly smaller than a tennis ball.
one of the girls who works at the grocery store had it in the breakroom, she said her mom’s dog was playing with it. amazingly there are zero injuries. our back yard will be good as any for re-release he already loves the flowers from the bushes in our back yard.
Oh Mike, that is just precious!!!!!! Good on you! (sooooo tiny and way tooooo cute). Cheers.
It is indeed
and so is spring.
I am rhyming today. hahahahaha
Lol Andi I do the same thing to my mom when I do her hair. She will tell me the same exact thig everytime and I always just do what I want anyways and always comes out beautiful! It’s just the mother daughter/son hairdressing relationship![]()
Ugh bam might have to go
in tears just thinking it as an actual possibility
he chowed down 4 huge hibiscus flowers this morning. he’s definitely getting his strength back
LHM, he’s so cute. It will be hard to let him go won’t it.
NBO – Oh no, why?
we’re feeding him flowers and grass that already grows in our back yard, once he’s big enough to be able to scale the back wall, im sure he’ll stay in the area.
Mike – I just want to squeeze him! Look at those little legs go! =D
At least he will have a chance close to you Mike!
*sigh* Now I’m uploading files from my old computer to the cloud so I can have them on the new computer. This is going to take awhile. I have a lot of pictures and word docs.
I’m stunned at how friendly that cottontail is! Wild baby Bunnies around our home in Upstate NY die of fright very easily. That little guy is sooo stinkin’ cute!
AH. Hope your hair survived!
Alright, now it is saying “Error Upload Fail”. It uploaded several pictures and now it won’t upload any more.
I’m so sorry NBO…. Just wish I could think of something to help settle every bunny down and help Bam to bond… I know what you’re going through my house full are all so badly behaved at the moment… I’ve got 8 more spays and 6 adoptions before I can neutralize the area and try to bond all mine in the inetrim I am ankle deep in hay, poop and misbehaving bunnies most of the time.
Want to stay up to see the moon turn red. So tired though.
The moon turns red? What am I missing?
I have a stray cat in my neighbourhood. And yes, I know it is a stray cat. Does anyone have any advice on how to catch a cat? I want to take him/her to the vet.
Yeah did anyone see the blood moon? It decided to snow last night here so that idea went out the window. :/
Hm LEL… Maybe bribe it somehow?
LHM he looks so friendly! I must have missed it, what happend to him?
LBJ I feel for you.,. That is why I hate technology sometimes! I had the same problem and eventually just gave up on it for awhile.
BunnyLady – I fell asleep and woke up at about 2am. I went outside and it looked like the eclipse was already entering the second half. So I didn’t get to see the moon all pretty and red. =(
And yeah, I think I’m going to try something else for transferring files. =\
LEL – You can get a live trap. Just be careful you don’t get an opossum in there. They like cat food too.
Thanks BunnyLady, I feel better knowing I’m not the only mother who’s hairdresser child does what they want to our hair, ha ha ha ha……
PS – Any chance you can give me directions to your salon’s commercial on the internet yet????? I’m still super keen to see it Jami.
And yes Megabunny, once my hair dried off I was really happy with my haircut and highlights, and my hair feels healthy again – 2 years+ was a bit tooo long between haircuts, ha haha. And to think I only grew it so he could practice on it while he was learning, and then I wouldn’t let him touch it LOL!
Yer LEL, I think the best (and only way) to catch a stray cat is with food and a trap. Good luck and good for you for wanting to take it to the vet. Thanks to BAD cat owners I don’t like cats anymore (and it’s the owners fault – not the cats!). The destruction they cause being left out to hurt the wildlife and I hate them in my yard – I don’t know what diseases they leave behind? I wouldn’t let my dog’s roam feely in their yards why I should I tolerate their cat in my yard? But anyone with an indoor cat and a ‘bell’ – adore them!
NBO, gee… I don’t know what to say? What a terrible position you have found yourself in – I’m thinking of you.

Ugh, I know exactly what you mean! Two of our neighbors (one across the street and one next door) feed all the stray cats in our neighborhood, which then in turn love to use our yard as their bathroom. Funny how they are happy to feed them but the poop is someone else’s problem…
We also have a car with a cover in the driveway, it is COVERED in urine, literally. If I have to touch it because the wind blew it off I always wear gloves, it’s that nasty.
I agree with you about the dog/cat hypocrisy, too. People don’t want your dog in their yard, which I totally understand but for some reason they think letting their cat run wild and use the bathroom where ever is okay… Maybe they think cat poop doesn’t stick to your shoe?! ![]()
Oh my gosh, I love cats. I grew up with cats. That doesn’t mean I like the neighbors’ cats pooping in my yard or flower bed or whatever. I agree, I don’t understand the logic behind it. My cats (both childhood ones and the one I had as an adult) were strictly indoor cats. I mean, it’s one thing if the cat that goes outside stays in its own yard. But none of the cats that roam my neighborhood seem to stay where they belong.
Uh we have a huge cat problem here. I don’t like cats lol not a cat person. Especially stray cats. But once, only once did a cat decide to step foot in my hard and I scared it so bad I have yet to have another stray cat on my yard. We have 100s of them in the neighborhood and just down the road a few houses down this guy feeds them. He has like 50+ at his house. And another guy across the street from me had to get his house gassed. He had 72 stray cats living in his house and this man has no legs and couldn’t properly clean up or care for them. Well they took the strays away and bombed the house full of roaches. But the dummies didn’t think to tent the darn house and so guess what?! Those roaches run away from that house into other people’s houses!! Luckily we haven’t seen many roaches but a few houses are throwing fits of a sudden roach issue. *sigh* so yeah… Cats are on my bad side. It wouldn’t be such an issue if my neighbors wouldn’t feed them. But at least my yard is clear. I chase very loudly if they get close to my house. Make all the cats know I no likey you! :p
LBJ – one more post…. 5000!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (If only BB would reward you in cash??? Ha ha ha – just joking BB!). Congrats LBJ – good on you!
Benjamin bunny left for his new home tonight… I think he is going to be one spoiled boy… It’s gone from “what is a good indoor hutch” to “Converting a kennel to an indoor cage with run” to ” I decided I don’t use that room”
I think Benjamin is going to be very happy with Jeff and Zoey.
Mean while Suki had her spay today… A few complications in that she bled very heavily and her ovaries whilst the full size were deformed… Poor mite is still looking dazed fro the surgery and she had to have normal stitches due to the bleeding so will have to go back to the vet to have them removed…. She has had a little drink and a few pellets…. Just going to let her have peace and quiet so she can settle down. Pandora is having a house run and made a point of going to Suki’s cage and giving her a kiss on the nose.
Wow!
My 5000th Post!
Someone is on BB too much. ![]()
Yaaaaay! Well done LBJ! haha
Uhhh, Tried a cheaper company for the rabbit’s hay recently, and I’ve just seen there’s little bugs in it.
How annoying! Back to the expensive stuff!
Bugman came today. I said funny you don’t look like a bug. hahahaha. I told him been seeing roaches driving me nuts. He did a good job for me. Said another apartment is having trouble too. And they are in the walls you can’t really get rid of them. Great. I know they are in the walls cuz the downstairs neighbors had a water leak in the walls and the roaches started coming in the DAYtime. The leak got fixed but the roaches never really went away. So I know it is downstairs that has a big problem. I heard them talking one day. The other apartments have some but not like downstairs. Drat. Least the bug control guy helped out with extra stuff.
My a/c been acting up. Jim came yesterday fixed something worked good for a few hours. Then acted up again. I put knob on hottest setting it wouldn’t shut off so I turned it completely off. This morning i turned it on on hottest setting called maintenance. Jim came brought some new brains for the a/c and it should work good now. Weather is great so windows are open. I think a/c is fixed this time. I am not running it and have windows open.
We are under boil water til friday. Someone ran into a fire hydrant and it messed up a main water main. Hubby had collected a huge giant water bottle of rainwater plus a pot of it on the stove so I am using that for stuff. I hate boiling water. My neighbor didn’t know and had been drinking it. He is just fine. He knows now tho. Yikes.
So many things.
Bean bag lol. Watch that furniture. My hubby would notice if something got thrown out. He always does. Annoys me. I want to declutter and he gets mad when I end up throwing something he wanted or uses and I didn’t know he uses.
That little wild bunny is the cutest thing. HE is quick too.
I missed the eclipse. I knew there was a reason I wanted to stay up late but I couldn’t remember why. The next morning I got up and heard again about the eclipse. Drat that was why I wanted to stay up late. Duh hahahaha
Tessie bugs in hay yuck.
cats I like cats but loose ones and a whole herd of feral ones yuck. There is a feral colony on the beach that someone feeds and has had fixed their ears are tipped. Also another colony by the river where people put their boats in the water someone takes food to them and they been fixed too. Thats ok it is away from our homes they don’t pee on the cars etc. But in residential. Nope. Thats not right.
That guy with the ferals no legs and roaches. OMG and I thought we had roach problem in our apartments. If we don’t stay on top it would get real bad tho. Thats horrible a residential feeds all those cats like that. I lived next to someone who did that. The roof of the home had caved in as well. The cats would just come on into our home like they owned the place. Grrrrrr. We moved. We were renting. Moved for other reasons as well
NBO no Bam. Awe hope you can find a way to keep him.
And Henri glad you like your hair now.
LBJ congrats. 5000 post. cool. A real devoted BBer.
Congrats LBJ10! 5000! Good job! ![]()
Lol Andi as soon as I figure out how to find it I will let you know! I need to get my boss to send me the link. But yeah, don’t feel bad..we all do that
I’m sure it looks awesome though! Your son sounds very talented!
Long eared lions that is a beautiful whatcha callit on the bottom of your posts. All bright pretty rainbow sunset colors with your 3 bunnies. Very pretty.
I suppose I’m done basking in the glow of my 5000th post now. LOL =p
Today was pretty uneventful. Well, at work at least. I had a helper today so things got done a lot faster than usual.
But… I did receive a phone call today. I was asked to come in for an interview. It is for that job I applied for like 3 months ago. I had assumed they were not planning on calling me.
Bunnytowne-Thank You! Glad you like my siggy!
So I moved Bams cage into the buns room so they can get used to one another. Well I felt bad because I can’t just open his cage to let him and come and go as he pleases for exercise. So what I’ve been doing the last coupe nights is I get home from work. I go into the buns room and take Bams litter box and salad bowl into the living room. And then I go back and pick him up out of his cage and carry him out of the buns room and to the living room for him to get to stretch his legs a bit lol and eat his dinner too. It sucks he can’t go in and out of his cage at will but this will have to do until they get bonded lol
Let’s just say Bam looks FORWARD to being picked up now lol he’ll be on his hind legs trying to crawl up my arms when I go in there now because he knows it’s time to come out to play lol I’m holding him with one arm and a carrot in my other hand while were traveling to the living room lol he’s so easy to pick up now. Now catching him to go back…is difficult lol he’d much rather stay out to play. Oh! And since moving to the buns room when he’s out to play he doesn’t spend his time by the gate dividing him from the buns room lol before when he was housed in the living room that’s ALL he kept trying to do was get under the gate. Now? He doesn’t care to get to the other side lol
It worked!!!!! Thank you Jami. How cool is the commercial – I loved it! Now… which one are you? ha ha ha (serious!). Your salon looks awesome, what a great place to work.
LBJ – when is your interview????? Are you still super keen for that job? My goodness – I’m so excited for you! I hope you still are…..
AndHenry – I don’t know for sure. We’re still trying to work out a time because I have to work. =\ I’m still excited about the job. I just hope this isn’t a bad sign.
Why would it be a bad sign???? The fact that they called YOU after all this time and they are working with you to set up an interview cause you are currently employed are all great signs! Not that I’ve ever been an employer, but I would be more inclined and keen to interview someone who has great work ethics (doesn’t let the workplace down or take time off to sneak to another job interview), so I reckon your showing good morals there. I’m not sure if this is good advice, but besides showing off your education/academics, without going overboard – try and express this is the job ‘you want’! I found I was successful in my two favourite jobs cause I calmly (even though I was jumping out of my skin) expressed that I really wanted the job even though in both cases I wasn’t the best ‘educated’ candidate. One employer even told me that I was given the job because I was open to continue to learn ‘their way’ and if I enjoyed my work they wouldn’t have to worry about me moving on. BUT don’t put them off for too long with getting together for an interview – they may interpret that as not being keen. Keep us updated! Besides being excited for you, I have nervous butterflies in my tummy as I know how much you want to move on to bigger and better employment opportunities. Good luck LBJ!
AndHenry – Well, because all the times they have available conflict with when I have to work. We’re getting something worked out though. Aww, you’re so sweet. Perhaps some of the good luck you gave kbana will rub off on me.
*Amanda crosses eyes for LBJ10 as well as Kbana*
I’m right beside you Amanda! (Huge headache!) ha ha ha…..
Aw fingers crossed but I think it all sounds like good news to me!!
So I am the one with the curly red hair (no it’s not natural) and I’m not wearing glasses. Lol I know one of the other red heads was wearing her glasses that day. I think in the commercial I was working on a dark haired model for an updo and also performing a pedicure, if that helps![]()
Looking out for you now Jami! LOL!
Edit to ADD – I saw you Jami, how COOL! Gosh, your so pretty – good on you. Now I can brag that I know someone in a commercial! ![]()
Ah I see you! You are so pretty! ![]()
Thanks guys! Hopefully your heads won’t hurt too much.
Bunnylady – I think I see you too!
I was actually proud of my “success” today. I was telling my husband about it, but of course he doesn’t care. LOL Anyway, I have been attempting to train one of the vultures and things have been going good so far. =D
The stray cat keeps sleeping in the logs by my house. I do have a trap, but it is too clever to go in. I think I will need to tame it a bit more first.
The neighbors asked me to feed their coy(fish) next week while they are away. Hahah that will be interesting.
When you start bringing in the BIG bucks LBJ, I’m sure your hubby will care then (mine did for the 2 years I was earning more than him, lol!). Your training a vulture and I’m ‘trying’ to teach/stop Henry from eating the dry dog food STILL! ( I just went crook at him and ended up picking the bowls up AGAIN!). My dog’s are ‘starving’!!!!!!
If others are feeding the cat, your gonna have a hard time catching it – sorry Amanda. Coy fish? Cooler than goldfish! LOL!
AndHenry – No big bucks here! LOL And it isn’t anything fancy. I’m simply teaching her that she needs to go to a certain spot and sit nicely and wait while I enter their enclosure. She has a bad habit of rushing the door when you’re trying to go in.
Lol aw thanks guys! It was exciting to do! Now I’m just waiting to see it air on the tv!
Lol Henry want to eat dog food? Why am I notsurprised !!
How is the cat catching situation going?
He keeps eating the food I give him, I am trying to tame him a bit so I can catch him…
I’m nervously waiting to be called back now. =\
LEL – That’s a good idea, earn his trust a little bit first.
Yes LBJ10, but it hard to try to catch a cat with your eyes crossed. ![]()
Great the girl I was venting about the other day about getting a rabbit with head tilt but refuses to get vet care. Well another of her rabbits is now showing signs of cancer. She’s bleeding and it has tissue in the blood. I told her she needs to be seen ASAP. But idk
she just got ANOTHER rabbit today. And the one with head tilt still hasn’t been treated. And it’s hanging out in a FIVE GALLON aquarium. It can’t even turn around. It is able to walk around and eat and drink on it’s own so it is getting better. But she doesn’t have a cage for it so stuck it in an aquarium. But I think she’s moving it in with a guinea pig who had 3 babies a few days ago. But she just got another bunny and she just told me she has no cages. So idk how she’s having all these bunnies if she doesn’t have cages for them all *sigh* i give up, I’m calling animal control.
How much gas money should I charge for taking her bunny to the clinic. She doesn’t have a vehicle but her grandfather is helping with spay cost. It’s about 100 miles of driving there and back.
Alrighty, it is set for Monday morning.
NBO – I think that would be the best thing you can do. Unfortunately. =(
I went to the grocery to get milk and came back with egg dye. I’m cooking some eggs now, but I don’t know how well the colors will turn out since they are farm eggs (brown).
I am actually doing eggs right now too!
(Who says all the fun is just for the kids!)
I plan on making some bunny-themed eggs, I will do pics!
The blue isn’t sticking for some reason. The red seems to be going though.
Hehe! Coloring eggs is NOT just for kids!
My middle son just woke up to find the Easter Bunny visited through the night and left a little surprise – Chocolate bunny and an egg (not bunny poop – my hubby got those, Henry pooped on top of his carrier/toilet this morning?) LOL!
Happy Easter Sunday everyone! (Aussie time).
AndHenry – My childhood friend had a boy that lived next door and he had bunnies. For Easter, he would leave a cup full of bunny poop on her doorstep.
Alright, I gave up on the blue. I threw it out and now I’m going to try the green. See out that goes.
Okay, out of the blue question. I had some pictures printed of things I’ve done so I can bring them to my interview. I looked at Office Depot and they don’t have a clear plastic sleeve that holds 4 pictures on one side. At least not for the 4×6, which is what Walgreens prints for 1 hour photos. So now I’m not sure how to bring them. Do you guys think it’s okay to bring loose pictures? I thought it would look more professional in a sleeve, =\
LBJ – What about those 8×11 full page sleeves, that you would slide an entire page into? Maybe you could affix the pics to a piece of paper (maybe even construction paper for added color?) 2 on each side? Then you could get a binder or a 3-prong folder and present it all in one booklet. That way it would definitely look like you did it on purpose.
I must be the only bunny owner who’s RABBIT ‘wants’ to eat dog food (and wash it down with a coke) Jami. My hubby put the bowl up on the bed (I know – GROSS!) while he thought Henry was busy, and the little bugga jumped up and grabbed a piece from the bowl (he is that quick) and jumped down with it. Yes, I took it off him (from his mouth), and said NO – but seriously, if I put the dog food outside the dog’s don’t eat enough and if I leave it inside Henry eats it. Shaking my head while ‘sighing’……
That’s awesome LBJ! Interview Monday (I think that’s Tuesday for me?) – I honestly wish you all the luck in the world! And manic’s idea for your photo’s is brilliant, I couldn’t think of a better one. Oh, and how did the ‘green’ eggs turn out? And the boy that lived next door to your friend and gave her a cup of bunny poop for Easter – I bet he ‘liked’ her, ha ha haha! Hubby wasn’t impressed with his Easter gift from Henry, LOL!
Waiting for your pic’s Amanda…….. lol! Can’t wait to see them!
Edit to ADD – Sorry NBO, but I agree with LBJ, I think you’ll have to call about your friend with the bunnies. I can’t think of any other way around it for you, and you must be sick knowing how neglected they are along with their poor living conditions. I’m sure her intentions are good, but knowing that bunnies are living/surviving like that…… ![]()
Yea, Henry is weird!
When I do evening feeding, I got the scoop with the dog food, Bandit and Outlaw are dancing around in circles, with Bumpy kinda circle spinning to avoid beind trampled. LOL I stop at Bandit’s bowl, pour some in… Bumpy runs over to investigate… then looks around like wth? By this time I’m at Outlaw’s bowl -ting ting ting- Bumpy runs over, then kinda just sits there. I make my way back to the kitchen and Bumpy is running behind me, I fill his plate up and head to his pen, past Bandit, past Outlaw… before I am there, Bumpy has hopped into his pen and it standing there with his feet on the edge of the door.
So yea.. he has NO interest in the dog food! ![]()
Wanna swap manic???? HA HA! I just pulled another ‘Good O’ (dog food) from his mouth after a chase. If he had of run into his carrier (toilet) I would have let him keep it! (YUCK!), lol! And I just picked the bowl up again! I’m exhausted! I’d get it if the dog’s ate his food….. but they aren’t eating that bunny veggie/pellet crap, ha ha ha ha ha! So it’s official – I not only own the naughtiest bunny, but the weirdest tooooo!
Nope… One of Bullriders buns loves pepperoni…
Oh Roberta – HA HA HA HA! Ok, you win! LOL! (and thanks for making me feel better, I really needed it).
Easter Egg coloring and dog food eating bunnies. hahahaha Don’t they know they are supposed to be vegetarians
Sometimes bunnies just don’t make any sense ![]()
OMG the roaches are everywhere and so many of them. Called my neighbor. Can’t tell anyone who but come to find out that water leak in the wall was between downstairs neighbor and the one that was infested with roaches. Since that wall and leak was started have had roaches like mad. That man there does not clean after himself in the kitchen. Stove is filthy wall is covered in grease. I could cry.
I have been killing roaches like crazy day AND night. I could cry. Bought Bengal. Pulled my stove out cleaned floor and wall. I keep kitchen clean after every meal dishes are done. At night same thing plus stove and if anything on walls that is cleaned so I know it wasn’t me.
I couldn’t figure out why so many. Now I know.
Also pulled out plastic bowl under sink and sprayed. The spray without using straw is like a fogger. I shut cabiner door sprayed in food closet shut that door. Went back later when spray settled. Put stuff back. Situation is so much better.
Today I am going to pull everything out from under sink cabinets all of it. Clean up dead roaches
which will probably be some from spraying and spray again shut doors let it settle and put everything back. Counters are clean will clean them again n spray.
I was killing them by my foot in my bedroom. I never seen them in my bedroom before. I just hope n pray they don’t get into Cottons cage n litterbox. The box by the door I killed 2 roaches there. Haven’t seen any there since for I sprayed under the rug let it settle mopped around the rug and put his litterbox back. Oh I could just cry. ![]()
Never seen them this bad before. Ever.
I got contact roach baits the black things. I know contact works great. The gel. Since bugman put gel all over already i got baits. Haven’t seen dead roaches like I did with combat gel. Nor with bengal unless i spray them directly. Have to open windows to make sure the smell goes away and it dries so cotton n I don’t get fumed out. ![]()
HELP
Speaking of bunnies n strange appetites. Last nite I had some juice cranberry n apple in a little glass. Cotton come a begging. I put it on the floor the glass.
Didn’t think he would like it.
He started drinking it. He likes it.
Oh dear. lol. It was real sour so I don’t think it had that much sugar but I took it away from him anyway. Little fuzz.
Gotta get busy clean litterboxes cleaned his house yesterday and work in kitchen here. Won’t get started browsing BB.
I keep procrastinating. ![]()
Time for some music and get to work………
Will be nice to hear about your holiday. Have a wonderful holiday. What have your bunnies done?
My buns have never tried to eat dog food that I’m aware of. Leopold has taken a bite out of a dog cookie before, but it was molasses flavored so I can see why he would probably want to.
I suppose a regular sleeve might work if there is paper in there. That’s a good idea. I’ll have to see if I can find one around here somewhere.
I had to wait for daylight so I could capture the color better. The yellow-ish eggs in the front are what they looked like before I dyed them. They were pretty even before I dyed them. =)
Looks great LBJ10!
I wanted to try something new with my eggs so I dyed them one color, then put rubber bands around them and dyed them another color. So now they are striped!
Oh wow LEL, that sounds so cool. Did you take a pic?
No but I will. I did do some bunnies but they look rather wonky!
Okay, this is bad. I’m sitting here with nothing to do except read stuff on BB. That means I will start feeling nervous and on edge, just waiting for tomorrow. I always do so bad at interviews. Like I can’t ever think of anything good to say. They will ask a question that I’m completely unprepared for and I find myself speechless. =\
I have what I’m wearing picked out. I have all of my materials gathered and in a folder. I need to bring “evidence” of some of the things I have done that would be relevant. I’m hoping what I’m able to bring will be sufficient. Oh and my pictures, I have pictures picked out and ready to go. I hope I’m not forgetting something.
Alright, nervousness has progressed to brownie eating.
Well I suppose I will stop talking to myself. Just letting you all know I’m going to bed. Hopefully things go well tomorrow. Keep crossing those eyes!
I read all your posts as they were posted, but I couldn’t reply due to lack of good signal. I know you have gone to bed, but I want to wish you (((((Good Luck)))))
Just be yourself, it will all work out.
Eyes still crossed for you.
Thanks LEL! I’m awake now. I woke up pretty early, heart racing. I couldn’t go back to sleep so here I am (after I showered and got ready, of course). I’m just waiting to leave now. My stomach is in knots. And it’s pouring rain! Agh!
I just got back. I’m really unsure how it went. I really feel like I didn’t answer the questions well. *sigh* Now I must eat an early lunch so I can make it to work at noon.
I’ve seen FOUR of my facebook friends get Easter bunnies yesterday 😮 makes me so mad. One was on a leash. Go figure. Already showing their lack of research.
I’m sure you did great LBJ!!
NBO, perhaps you can congratulate them on their gorgeous buns and tell them how much great information you find useful and direct them here and other places that will be helpful to making them better bunny slaves. Hopefully they are reasonable and are willing and able to learn and properly care for them.
It’s 8.20am and I just jumped on to wish you luck today LBJ – but I was too late, bugga! I’m sure you did well, and at least that’s over with now. Just gotta wait for the call back…. ho hum. Did they give you any idea how long till they do?
Thanks for the encouragement guys. Like I said, I’m terrible when it comes to answering interview questions. You know, “give an example of a time when you _________”.
AndHenry – No they didn’t, but they did ask when I would be available to start if I were to get the job. It sounded like they wanted whoever they choose to start in May some time.
Back from shopping – I spent so much that my last transaction declined cause I exceeded my daily limit, how embarrassing?!?! I HATE shopping and have been preparing/adding to this shopping list for the last couple of months and I was determined to come home with everything on my list (I don’t want to have to go back again). The hubby (on holiday’s) got hungry at lunch time, so I grabsbed him a roll from the bakery and made him eat while we walked/shopped, LOL! Now I have to unpack it all – did I say I hated shopping? The worse part…. we have to go back either tomorrow or the next to buy groceries. OVER IT! So I’m having a breather and some BB time before I get started.
LBJ, I hope you said ‘if I’m successful, I just have to give (?) weeks notice and I can start the next day’! And I know exactly what you mean about AFTER the interview, thinking I should of said this, and I could have said that. But I reckon you prepared wonderfully, and I’m sure the employer must know to give everyone a bit of leeway for nerves. Gosh, now we are all going to be anxious waiting to hear if you got it!
Ok, gonna have a quick read of the forums and start unpacking the shopping. Cheers.
What were you shopping for Andi?
Still rooting for ya, LBJ10!
Errgh. People keep posting “cute” videos of rabbits on facebook. Tranced in a sink full of soapy water is not cute. *frown*

Errgh. People keep posting “cute” videos of rabbits on facebook. Tranced in a sink full of soapy water is not cute. *frown*
Enlightened a few people on the reality of that particular video this weekend Stickerbunny… It absolutely makes my blood boil when I see it… There is a full on campaign rolling into action using that video as the poster child for stupid and ignorant things people do to Rabbits and Other Animals to get trash to post on Youtube…
I know Stickerbunny – another reason why I don’t do facebook! But sadly that is the way of our NEW world…..
I bought BORING stuff Amanda….. Things like jumper’s for my son, slipper’s for us both, flannelette sheets/blankets, etc., – I threw everything out after last winter cause it all needed replacing years ago and I kept using it, ha ha ha. So by throwing it out last year I ‘HAD’ to replace it! Oh, and new door mats (the one’s that trap Henry’s fluff and can be washed in the washing machine), a knife sharpener (thought it would be cheaper than buying new knives) – didn’t I say it was boring, LOL! I shouldn’t complain – “I” got a new warm fluffy dressing gown (with spots), a new pair of jeans and below the knee boots with no heel, ALL on SALE – WOO HOO! ha ha ha ha…… I think I’m ready for winter? I’m finally feeling Autumn, the morning’s are cool.
The hubby didn’t miss out – he got a new drink bottle to take to work, lol! And the youngest son that moved out – I bought him flannelette sheets too (cause I threw his bare threaded one’s out as well, ha ha), and if I didn’t buy them for him – I bet he wouldn’t and would freeze. But I’m not silly (not all the time anyway lol), it’s his birthday next week and the sheets are being wrapped up for his birthday present – sucks being a grown up and getting stuff you NEED as gifts?!?!?! Oh, and he’s also getting his ticket to see the ‘Lion King’ in November and the usual ‘men’s gift’ – undies and socks! HA HA HA……
AndHenry – Wow, sounds like you did some serious shopping. o_O
Well, today was kind of annoying. Why were the kids in my group so freaking loud? Seriously, I kept looking for the volume control and I couldn’t find it.
Oh yeah, I was also informed by a 1st grader that I have bubble butt cheeks today.
Can’t stop the giggling fits at the moment…. Been having trouble with the neighbours taking greater and greater liberties with my property from cars all over my lawn and blocking my drive, rubbish under my car port all sorts of things… I finally snapped the other week and they took offence… Well, I was beyond caring about their feelings and sick of my property being treated like their extension… They have been building an open courtyard out front for entertaining as their back yard is feral and full of dog poo…. It’s coming along nicely and does compliment the street, even if it’s not something I would build, and they have pulled their heads in a bit (guilt does that to you) Coming down my drive last night the penny finally dropped about what looked wrong with the courtyard and I burst out laughing, Karma is sometimes self fulfilling… Park toward the rear centre of the now fully enclosed courtyard with narrow gate opening and no walls lower than 4 feet and most at 8 feet is their box trailer
nestled inconspicuously behind a chair and some other items…. There is no back gate even if there was they have put an 8 ft high fence across that part too… I wonder how long it is till someone needs to use the trailer and realises it is now a permanent garden feature (failing a crane to lift it out) LOL… Giggling again… Must get photo’s….. Hehhehehehe
Now that’s funny Roberta! How dumb to fence in the trailer? Ha ha ha….. Don’t you just love KARMA!
Bubble butt cheeks – what a compliment LBJ! Lol!
Hehehe that’s funny! People can be so stupid these days!
Having bubble-butt cheeks is surely better than having flat-butt cheeks isn’t it? ![]()
Ha ha haha – so true Amanda!
Oh and bunnytowne, how awful of me – I meant to reply to your post way before today, sorry! YUCK – cockroaches! I think it’s the worst ever if you have them yourself, but to have to tolerate them because of a neighbour and you yourself keep a clean house, I’d be furious too! The guy who does our pest spray every year has been awesome in the past but this year I’m still seeing the odd cockroach/bug and I’m super not happy! I’ve been saying to the hubby I must give him a call and get him back, but it’s so annoying cause we all (especially Henry) have to be outside for a few hours, why I have been putting it off, it’s such an inconvenience to have to do twice in one year! Wishing you good luck with a solution to your bug and neighbour problem BT – cheers.
I haven’t been on BB in what seems like forever! I’ve been so busy with things and then it seemed like one thing after another just kept happening. Then on Easter Sunday, someone I know was involved in a motorcycle accident and he didn’t make it… So sad and he was only 21. The viewing is this Thursday and the funeral is Friday and we are closing the salon early so we can go. The boy that died was actually the cousin of one of the girls who works with me, but we are all close with the family.
On a happier note, LBJ I hope you hear good news on that job!
I saw so many ads campaigning against bunnies as Easter gifts on Facebook. I shared so many of them I’m sure everyone got sick of looking at them but no one I know got a bunny or chick for Easter! I did see that bunny bath video too but it was also heavily marked as ‘do not do’. I shared that too like crazy!
And bunnytowne having a roach problem is probably the worst! They are so creepy and gross I can’t imagine being in your shoes, especially since it’s not your fault but your neighbors! Hopefully where you live that they aren’t too big though… In Florida they get quite large and fly… :/ gives me the heebie jeebies just thinking about it!
Bunnylady1989-That is so sad. Sending comforting vibes to his friends and family. ![]()
Haha! I suppose it is better to have a booty than no booty at all. We used to sell that padded underwear at the store I work at. It had a lady on the front who no longer had to worry about the seat of her pants looking baggy. Hilarious! I remember we were taking pictures of them and sending them to people.
Oh no Bunnylady, that’s awful. Seems you hear stories of stuff like that happening all the time, but you don’t ever think it’s going to be someone you know.
I know. Still seems so unreal. I feel so sorry for the girl who was also involved. She is being blamed for the accident when really it was HIS fault. She is constantly getting death threats and being referred to as a murderer. She is 17 and can’t return to school because the school cannot garrentee her safety. Such a sad situation all around.
On a happier note Archery should be starting back up again, so that will be fun. I’m anxious to shoot again…just targets of course![]()
How sad all round Jami – I really don’t know what to say…… just that I’m sorry for everyone.
Archery? Now that sounds like good fun!
YES!!!! Give me ‘bubble butt cheeks’ any day over having a flat bum! I have to admit, I am a bit of a bum girl myself…… ![]()
PS – When I bought my new jeans the first thing I did was turn around to see how my butt looked in them! ![]()
Bunnylady – Why would they think it was her fault? Simply because she was sitting on (I presume) the back of the motorcycle?
AndHenry – Perhaps we are all just a bunch of randy baboons? LOL
Maybe????? LOL!
LBJ she was making a left turn in a pick up and he was speeding. He went one way and then turned back around and she started to make her turn as he did. He ended up hitting her.
Lol Andi I doo that all the time!
BunnyLady – Like he made a U-turn?
AndHenry – Oh yeah! ![]()
Something promising happened. I think there may be some good news soon. =D
Hi!! =)
Hi Sam! You’ve been a bit of a stranger lately……..
LBJ – WHAT????? You can’t do that to us!
LOL AndHenry, let’s just say I heard back regarding the job.
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Did you get it??????????? What did they say?
I am covered in goosebumps!
Do I need to put a bottle of ‘bubbly’ in the freezer?
It sounds like they want me. We are discussing days of the week I can work. I will know more soon. ![]()
That’s AWESOME! Congratulations LBJ! I’ve put the bubbly in the fridge and as soon as you confirm we’ll all break it open. Oh, the excitement……
I knew you did well!! Gratz LBJ!
Yaaaay! Well done LBJ! ![]()
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
Good job LBJ10!
*uncrosses eyes*
Amanda and I are starting up a new business – ‘Employment Eye Crossing Service’! We have a 100% success rate – 2 out of 2! (Pats myself and Amanda on the back). Lol…..
Channel 5 are doing a new show called ‘The Secret Life of Pets’ where they film from a pets-eye-view what they get up to, and they’re interested in Luna and Teddy! ![]()
Really???? WOW!!!!! How cool is that Tessie!
Edit to ADD – Remember Teddy is mine Tessie – I can’t believe my HUGE bunny may be famous!
LOL!
Yeah, just had a really long conversation with the guy, asking me all these questions about them! He says they’re still sorting everything out but they’d love to film with us….
I am so stunned!
LBJ thats great. ![]()
Tessie wow. Wonderful. Let us know when and what channel I would love to see it. ![]()
I am so angry. The roaches have settled down gone back into the wall for the most part. Phew. Oh I saw something move from the corner of my eye. I looked was a roach crawling on my shirt sleeve WHILE I WAS WEARING IT. What has me angry is there were teeny tiny ones in Cottons litterbox in his cage when I cleaned it 2 days ago.
So angry. I will be checking it everyday. If there are some I will clean it immediately. I cleaned his house too. Didn’t see any there. His house gets cleaned on saturdays but I did this all on wednesday cuz I saw them in his litterbox which I clean them both on wednesdays. The other one was clear of them.
I will not allow my bunny to live this way. I wonder if he knew they were in there and ate any from the hay in his litterbox. I dont’ even want to think about it.
Otherwise all is fine. Cotton enjoyed his run outside these last 2 days. He hops on the little table and gets his leash off. I think he is telling me he wants to go outside little cutie.
He pokes my foot when I eat at the table for snacks n treats. He is eating the hair n coat vitamins I ordered from BB. He likes them. When it is time for his bedtime he runs around to get my attention to get his go to bed bribes hahahaha. ![]()
Back to Dance Moms I been watching the seasons and episodes on lifetime.
Thanks everyone! It’s not a done deal yet though.
AndHenry – LOL, you could probably make quite a bit of money doing that.
Well this is a little frustrating. I haven’t heard anything yet. I guess I won’t know anything until Monday. =(
You know what’s funny though? I just got an email asking if I would like to set up an interview for this other job I applied for. It isn’t as good as the one I’ve been talking about lately. I wonder if I should even respond. Or email them back and say I’m not interested anymore. They want to set it up for next week, so they didn’t give a lot of time for someone to respond.
%100 success! Wow, we ARE good!
Tessie-So cool! ![]()
Yes, Tessie, that is super cool! Will others be able to view it, like on YouTube or something?
I got Alfie an Xpen and set it up – next step to get that little guy neutered, stray poop everywhere! >![]()
I don’t know, hopefully you international people will be able to see it too!
I don’t know much about it yet, I’m still in shock, haha
Gosh Tessie, now that you’ve told us WE better be able to see it on the net! It hasn’t even happened yet and I’m SO excited!!!!!!
Ugh. I feel like my entire day was wasted. I was “forced” to help my husband with some stuff. Problem was, his parents were also there so we weren’t being very productive. Then his mom brought up that we were coming over for dinner tomorrow. I HAD COMPLETELY FORGOTTEN. o_O OMG, I don’t want to have to go over there tomorrow night. I know what will happen. We will end up being there for HOURS because my husband will just keep talking long after his brother and his family have left. Okay, ending rant now. I’m just frustrated because I still don’t know anything regarding this job. That means I’m not really able to talk about it yet. Wow, that sounds a bit selfish. I always feel like I’m needing to prove my worth though to my in-laws.
I so get what your saying LBJ. I ‘used’ to worry about what my in-laws thought of me – and WHY? Not anymore – I haven’t seen mine for years! And the funniest part…. they wonder why? Treat me like I’m not good enough…. gggrrrrrr! ha ha ha hah. So I chose years ago not to see them anymore.
With my kids and their partners, it will never matter what I ‘think’ of them, cause I will always treat them like they are perfectly wonderful for as long as my kids love them.
And I can’t believe the job you so desperately want rang to discuss what days you are able to work, getting your hopes up and your still waiting to hear if you even got it? I would be going insane!!!!!! No, your not being selfish – the anxiety your feeling sounds totally normal to me!
LHB is that Patches. Oh how adorable. And Raven. I had to look for him. hahahaha. He is like a big shadow. Looking comfy.
Oh in-laws. They can be horrid. LBJ you don’t need to prove anything to your in-laws. Your hubby loves you that is enuf. In-laws can really suck. Then some people have great ones. I get angry with my neice cuz she won’t let me bring Cotton and he stay in his cage and not run around in her house so I can visit with them and enjoy going places with hubby and Cotton. So I get left out now that we found out Cotton won’t do good being stuck in his large cabrio pet carrier or being tied to it in the masjid.
And you still haven’t heard about whether the new place will hire you or not sheesh. Talk about leaving you hanging. I say call them. At least you would know. Don’t know how you feel about doing that tho.
Bug problem has improved tremendously I am glad to say. Now the bathroom sink is clogged and overflowing. IT is connected to neighbors kitchen sink. I have towels all over. Called housing 2x. Maintenance is not coming til Monday. They say is not an emergency. The lady who takes the calls isn’t happy with that and did her best to get them out here. Said she is sorry. I went to neighbor asked her to call. She usually can get them out here. Well at least now I know I can take a shower and not worry about maintenance walking in on me. That would be very embarassing hahahaha
We have lot of problems with pipes and backing up here. I am all caught up on Dance Moms episodes I missed. Watched some of season 3 I saw before with that little package of dynomite Asia. I really liked her. She has career in hollywood and so on . So I thought. I wish she would come back. Anyway
Oh really good neighbor in next building passed 4 days ago. He was 90. His wife has alzheimers and forgets he passed. So we let her. The daughter is here. The other children will probably come too. I went to offer condolences to the family and the son in law came outside and Ms. Tilly the widow came and the man said no Tilly that I had just seen Pete walking he went for a walk so I got the hint and played along.
That man will be missed. So will Ms. Tilly. They have a great sense of humor and were really close. The family will be taking Tilly back up north with them. She can’t stay alone and of course they will want her close by. Why couldn’t it be the mean people that go.
My life has forever changed. And it’s one of those things that you can’t tell anyone about so it’s just bottling up inside me. I can’t sleep anymore, my mind is racing. It’s so weird how in one second. Just ONE second, your life changes so quickly. So much. And it’s hard to wrap my head around it. Send me good vibes. Please.
Bunnytowne – I did. And I emailed. This was before the weekend though.
NBO – Okay, you totally cannot do that. What’s wrong?
NBO awe whats wrong. So sorry There is the private inbox thing on BB. If you need to talk vent etc.
LBJ Hope you know soon.
Bunny Lady yes archery We had that at my school when I was young. Sounds fun. I enjoyed it too.
Roberta the neighbors fenced in their box trailer and won’t be able to get it out? Ohhh too funny.
Just as I was going to take a shower the neighbor knocked and the maintenance came to snake out her drain and it fixed mine cuz they are connected. Why do they come when she calls but not when I call. Hmpf. Well at least they came.
the roaches are german roaches. They dont fly. Thr flying ones are palmetto bugs. (roaches) I see dead ones lately and the occassional live one nothing like before. Cottons litterbox is clear. The bugs pretty much cleared out. I used Bengal spray and hubbys friend in pest control said combat bait works on this kind and sure enuf. For anyone else having problems this also works and is all natural: put baking soda and sugar on a plate or whatnot. They will eat. Make sure they get water too. The water will make the baking soda expand and explode their stomaches. Or put vaseline on a plate n sugar in it. The bugs will come to eat the sugar n get stuck in the vaseline. ick Id rather not hahahaha dont want to see them
Hope this helps others who may have problems with occassional bugs. (roaches)
gosh that poor girl being blamed for an accident n she wasnt even driving she was just a passenger. Rediculous. I feel for her
NBO I recently went they a life changing situation too, and with mine it’s something I want to share with so many people but yet at the same time I can’t. Though it may not be the same situation I understand how you feel. If you want to vent feel free to private message me.
Vibes your way NBO, I hope everything settles down and works out….. Sometimes being thrown off kilter and having to accept extraordinary change brings benefits that take a little while to manifest…
LOL – Bunnytowne, It was hilarious… They eventually managed to lift it over the walls though… I think they got tired of the neighbours wandering past giggling.
NBO-I feel you. Life is rough, but you can push through. Sending (((((VIBES))))). I understand if this is that kind of thing you can’t talk about, but if you just don’t want to, I encourage you to find someone to confide in. On BB, or off, it doesn’t matter, you can say as little or as much as you want, but don’t let it stay inside. I am always available to PM or email anybody that wants to talk about anything, as I am sure many other BB’ers are. ![]()
Thank you Roberta I feel as though I really needed to hear that. I found a confidante to talk to. And I’m already feeling better after talking about it. THanks everyone for words of encouragement!
So……………………………………..
I’m going in next week to fill out paperwork. I will officially start in a month!
POP! I opened the bubbly…. CONGRATULATIONS LBJ!
My bubbly exploded everywhere. :/
Haha! Thanks Andi! Are you eyes doing okay?

yay! LB!! congrats! I have been so busy lately and haven’t had a chance to log on but I wanted to see if you heard about your job yet! I am so happy for you!!! Yay yay yay! (And I’m also happy Andi can uncross her eyes now….geez how long did she have them crossed for? A month at least between the two of us! LOL)
So excited for you!!
AndHenry- Oh good, I wouldn’t want there to be any permanent damage.
Kbana- Thanks! I really think your good luck rubbed off on me. Of course your good luck came from all that eye crossing. LOL You know AndHenry and LEL will need to patent that before someone else steals their business.

NBO glad you found someone to confide in and feel better. ![]()
Thanks everyone again. I still can’t believe it really. What sucks now is that I’m feeling myself go into panic mode. I’m hoping I will do a good job. I really worry now that I won’t live up to expectations. =\
Don’t doubt yourself, there’s absolutely no point in it!
You finally got it, I’m so pleased for you!
Just relax and celebrate, you’ll be awesome.
The hard part is over, don’t stress you will be fine. Just relax. You will be ok.
Woo hoooo!!!!

Lol muffin love you did![]()
Ah you will be great. Don’t fret the small stuff. Getting yourself all worked up over nothing. You WILL be great. Time to be excited.
I like watching true crime Especially investigative detective anyone else?
Seeing it is still technically April with BB (even though I’m happy that Roberta got in with the May chat forum Aussie time, ha ha ha), yes! I love true crime bunnytowne. I have pay tv (which I HATE paying for each month) for the ‘crime’ channel. I’m not sure if we get the same shows in OZ? And I have many favourites – at the moment I’m indulging in ‘crimes that shook Australia’ as I think I have read all the books, but it’s another insight when you get to hear from the families first hand. Just terrible! I think my fascination is ‘understanding’ how people can be so cruel. I don’t get it and I’m sure I never will – but yer, how can some humans be so cruel?
Bunnytowne I like shows like that. They are so interesting, but sometimes scary if you watch them at night when your home alone! Lol.
SNAP! Jami – we posted at the same time, ha ha ha….. trust me to be childish and say that, LOL!
Lol awww snap!!!!! ![]()
