Okay, I voted shelter...a lot of our babies have come from a shelter, and they are some of the best babies. I also have a weakness for strays...I see a kitten outside in the cold and it's comin in the house...Jeff knows this..lmao...same goes for a puppy. Anyhow...some of our "small critters" like our ferrets came from a pet store. We would strictly get those from personal breeders and/or selters if we had one close and if they weren't so dag-gum expensive! You pay $130 a Petco..or drive 500 mies to the nearest shelter then pay $250 or $300 for the critter...then the gas to get back home. I used to work in a shelter, I know they need the funds...but how much food can one kitten or one ferret really eat? The spay and neuter is donated time usually...workers here are mostly volunteers...the one's that aren't are paid by the city. Yet the dog/cat shelter close by continues to raise the prices of adoptions. It used to be $30 for a cat/kitten and $35 for a dog/puppy...now it's $60 for either. I now that covers first shot,worming and spay/neuter...but geeze...in 2 years time it pretty well doubled! Anyhow...what I'm getting at is we need more responsible pet owners so there isn't he NEED for shelters...we need to keep shelters reasonably priced...and we need more shelters! We need shelters that will take in ferrets, birds, guinea pigs, animals like tat!

Fine Ash...just forget me! Geezus! Anyhow...I love piercings..and one day I will get the nerve to get pierced...it won't b anytime son...but one day I will. I have 7 tats at the moment, and I ill have more...hopefully I manage to get another this year. On Ashley's 21st birthday she and I are gettin matching tats. Jeff, Ash, and I all have the same saying as was said before. Kinda cool that Ash and I got it either the same day or like one day apart. Anyhow...I'm a tat addict. lol

lol...I've grown up with "house friends" (ghosts), so I think I would handle that better. However...an intruder breaking in here would be freakin hilarious...so if I was stressed I'd pick the intruder because it'd be good laugh...for me...lol

Ok, I said online...BUT..I love just going into a store and browsing!

I agree completely but that black guy was so much better than them and should have stuck around.

You can't get the economy going by spending a bunch of money you don't have. We need tax cuts. I'm infuriated by all the extra stuff that's being thrown into this thing and also that so much of it's being done behind closed doors. What happened to the promise that it would all be posted on the internet for all of us to see at least 48 hours before it's voted on? Has anyone stopped to think about how long it's going to take to get all these infrastructure projects going? It will take years to get the necessary permits and impact reports.

I used to be a "wrestlerette" in high school (cheerleaders for the wrestling team) but that was nothing like the fake wrestling on TV. Give me baseball anyday.

I have to go with the guinea pig because one of my kids had a hamster and it got loose and came up out of the shower drain looking like a drowned rat one night. Scared the crap out of me. I have no idea how it ended up in there but I heard the drain plate rattling as the hamster tried to lift it to get up into the shower. I made my husband get up and deal with it. We set it free outside...

I'd rather watch the nutty guy than this nut job. Either way they are both going to get cut in a few weeks. They are only around for the ratings.

I may stop watching american idol if they don't get her off of there pretty soon. She is the most annoying contestant they've ever had. She gives me a headache.

I worked while I was at work but I worked with people who spent the whole day online shopping and playing. Call me old fashioned but I think you should be doing the work you're being paid to do while on the job.

At least the girl can sing. BTW, they tossed off the girl from Hi5 last night. Anyone with kids under 5 knows who I am talking about. Jen Hind
