Why do my pics keep disappearing?????

Do you guys see it?.......or is it only invisible on this school computer?

I copied it from Facebook. I wanted to show the pic to a co-worker....can't access Facebook here, so thought I'd just show this one. rats!

I suspect that the school has blocked access to Facebook on their network, and that would include linked pix. Check back in a few and I'll have it here for you.

HI all

thanks Theresa

it's 2:01 and still no news.

anyone know the rules of FHA mortgages and if no one does anything on the last day of the contract......does it just get voided?

I know, I've asked my realtor and tells me to just 'relax'

now news is good news.

love coming to read about your lives

back to cleaning for the home appraisal who arrives at 9:00 tomorrow am

It will be specified in your contract. It can't just be voided since there's earnest money involved and before that can be returned, it has to be signed off on by all parties.

I'm livid that your agent won't take the time to go over it all with you and explain it. She should have done that at the time she presented the contract to you.

Just wanted to poop in and say hello......and

Hang on Judy- if anymore bad deeds are done we shall send in an army of Twas and kick some arse! The nerve of some people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And know this now, a Burundian Army of Twas is NOT to be trifled with!

:wub: :wub: to all!

My first big papers were handed in today so I'm correcting......send out the dingoes if I disappear. Heck- send out the dingoes anyway- they're so darn cute!!!!!!!!!!

Sometimes, when yer silly gets lost, it stays lost for a long time And the sillier everyone else gets the more yer psilly hides from you; or perhaps it's not really lost per se--it's just that everyone else has found *your* psilly and is using it all up so there's nought left for you.

And then when peeps start getting all clever and posting pictures of their pheats and doing little green puke-face men and other smarty things, yer gets all kinda depressed and climbs further into de non-psilly hole...

But I have been keeping up with all your pheats and feets and short fifth digits and whatnot.

So all you peeps, stop stealing my psilly and give it back to me. I WANT IT BACK!!!

Shroomie can toooooooooootally relate to this, I think my silly's been gone since June.

and where are ya, BTW? still stateside? Back in NZ? where? So exotic, Shroom's life

Thank you for a truly inspired rendition of one of my favorite songs!

Hi Suz ......Now I eat me burgers plain since I'm off grains, but I used to use toasted Gluten Free Pantry French bread--very yummy, but not soft and roll-like.

The absolute best gluten-free burger rolls I've ever had were from Grandma Ferndons. Two problems......the shipping was almost $20 and now they only ship to certain cities. I only mention them in case you run into 'em at a health phood store er sumphin. If you ever do, get 'em--they're soft and squishy and really good. (no bean flour, either )

Well, Psills. . . . .....got some happy news. Looks like there will be a new addition moving into the house tomorrow.

A rescue.

Big, black standard poodle boy.

Very thin, bladder infection (on meds, clearing up).. . ......

AND a verrrrrrry sad, heinous thing:

He has been de-barked. So barbaric.

But I think he's comin'. . . . . . ........just getting a home check done. Think we'll pass. .. ..

Yippee!! So happy fer ya'll!! What a lucky little fella!

Of course we'll need a pic, once you get him all settled in

[jerseyangel]

Does "de-barked" mean somebody did something so he can't bark?

:wub: . . . he's a lucky guy if they're smart enough to place him wif you . . . do you need references???? . . . we'll help!!! . . . . . . maybe we shouldn't . . .

Yep . . . they still try and make a hoarse coughing sound. People down the street did it to their sheltie. If you don't want a dog that's going to bark don't get a sheltie . . . doesn't everyone know that?? . . . actually, if you don't want a dog that barks, only get dogs that are stuffed animals!!! . . . OK, I'm done.

Or how about this: TRAIN your dog not to bark obsessively.

Yes, it's quite awful. Many vets will not do the procedure, as it is taking away a dog's means of communication - -they cannot even whine. Essentially, their larynyx is severed.

Poor thing. Elsie will have to step in as an interpreter..... . .

  jerseyangel said:

Y'know, our neighbor has a dog they say is deaf and that it howls when it's alone, and that's why we hear it howling all the time. Well, maybe you SHOULDN'T LEAVE YOUR DOG ALONE!!!! Pretty much any dog can be trained out of unecessary barking. If you can't take care of a dog, don't get it!!!

[Darn210]

Hey Lisa!!! Can you teach Elsie some sign language??? Just some basic phrases . . . "I need to go poo", "Is that a squirrel?", "What is this cr@p that you're trying to pass off as dog food?"

HEY! Well, let's see... .. I still remember how Leeeesargh instructed us to say "penis".. . . .. . ....I could show this to the new dog. Hmm. . ...dunno how useful it would be. He is neutered, so there isn't much to be mentioning down there anymore... . . ..

Thanx, Oracle PeOter!

.....and did y'all know that if you copied someone's av onto yer post, it changes every time they change their av?

.....quite confusing for newbies reading back in the archives. Patti copied my av of hubby and me, commenting on the 'cute couple'....now it's Zeus........maybe I should change me av to a pic of me chest

Maybe I should send Zeus over.....

.....wait........the only signs he knows are 'sit' and 'stay'......but easily done without opposable thumbs

We once had a sheltie named Beauregard Le Chien.......Beau for short. We only had barking issues when the neighbor kids set off fireworks

I do remember seeing a sheltie that was de-barked, once.....sad. Still barked like crazy.......just quieter.

We're such a bunch of softies.

Did I not tell you how to sign 'poop'?.......don't recall

Here in Indy, evidently, the sign I know is not acceptable in 'polite company'

.......other places it seems to be fine

[DingoGirl]

YAYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A new Standard coming to the 'ville!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and Elsie will be soooooooo happy!!!!!

_{(once she adjusts)}

I wondered why I logged on and the blue google smurfs said stop excessive barking

It is an evil and heinous thing, this surgery. My "Perfect Neighbor" had her dog de-barked (that silly Westie I babysit - dumbest dog ever ) and..........it did not REMOTELY work. He has just as shrill and loud a bark as before. (I didn't hear about it until after it happened, 2 or 3 years ago....the only change was that immediately after she did it, he had a raspy bark....for a short while. She actually SCOLDS him when he chases lizards, etc. in the back yard and barks at them........and I want to scream, MY GAWD, he's a DOG, he's a TERRIER, THIS IS WHAT HE"S SUPPOSED TO DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! makes me insane)

We're so excited about this news, Emmel!! ♥

[flourgirl]

What wuunderphul news Em! 'Twill be a lucky dog fer sher! I didn't know you could de-bark a dog I've know a good many dog-owners that needed de-barking. Why is it that so many people who should not be pet-care-takers go out to get pets that they do not train, care for and otherwise abuse and neglect. I'll never get it. Seen waaaay too many of them!

Jgeoss.....was Sunrise, Sunset a song in fiddler on the rrrroooff?? My psilly brain says so.....I love that song. So many good life-story-songs.

Not much more to add.....ready to pass out for the night.....if only I'd stay out all night. Sleep well everyone......it's what Dr. Ted is ordering for all of you. Stay shiny inside.....T

<yawn> just had some decaf-chocolate hazelnut tea and am heading to bed......Good luck tomorrow, Em--we'll keep quiet and you'll be a shoe-in

Dude, worked breakfast yesterday from 5:30 to 9:30, came back and worked nighttime for my coworker from 4:30 to 10:30, and now I'm back this morning. I feel like I'm in the twilight zone. And my tummy's too angry at me for me to have coffee.

I know. Since our foray into the world of animal rescue organizations, I have seen so much sad evidence of this around me. And the puppy mills! They are quietly everywhere, making a profit pumping out sad, sick little animals.. . . .....makes me crazy.
