Always a smart move. If it is a boy I have a ton of stuff you can have of you want. Clothes wise anyways.

As for spiders, I usually catch them and put them back outside. However, if they come for me (like the one that made a run at my foot the other night), I mash 'em flatter than a toad in Chicago rush-hour traffic. Gleefully, and without a qualm, I might add.
Yeah, I know, they bite you only when they're provoked, blah blah blah. That's why when I was 10 years old, I was getting a bite every night while sitting reading my evening comic book, and my parents couldn't figure out why until she saw a spider come out of the bathroom and crawl along the wall 30 feet through the house -- she followed it, and it went up onto the couch I was sitting on and headed straight for the arm that kept getting bitten. Clearly, I was just invading its personal space. I've seen plenty of examples of such provocation since then. ;)
"The smell of your blood provokes me, human! Muahahaha!"

Let go! Uh, look! A big spider over there! *Points*
Can't you just tele out?

I'd offer you one, but a virtual ginger cookie just isn't the same. And they're so good. All soft and chewy with little bits of candied ginger in them. ^.^
Don't hate me. :) Besides, you can order these ones if you want. AFAIK they'll ship this stuff anywhere. www I'm fortunate enough that they're right down the road from me, but if we ever move you can bet I'll still get these things shipped to me. :)
Fixed it for you.

I kinda hope it is a boy, as making a girl a ninja tomboy will be harder with both grandmas going all girly on me...

I agree.
Way past my bedtime. I need to be a responsible adult, I guess. *sigh*
I must be a responsible adult too.
Can I catch that cold when you're done with it?

Link to a photo of great pair of boobies.
Not really great resolution. It's hard to tell that they're red-footed.

True, but that can't solve everthing, sometimes it takes...

I hate when I get there early for a set apointment, just to find out the customer cancelled. grrrrrrrrrrrr
Heh. Have this problem all the time, especially when another company snakes us and we roll up to the property to do an estimate and a fence is already being installed. Then the customer goes: "Oh I'm sorry I went with someone else" flippiantly, never bothering to think of perhaps calling and cancelling the estimate appointment because the sales consultant really has nothing better to do than drive an hour out to the appointment.
[Rodney] No respect, I tell ya, no respect. [/Rodney]

I know it, they seem to think they are the only person in the world.... I get up in the morning just for them.... I hate people.

Oh I'm sure we could run this thread to its 500-page goal just with customer horror stories. There really seems to have been a rise in just base selfishness (or self-involved egotism) in the world. I don't know how many times I have been treated like a servant just because someone is thinking of buying something off me. While I attempt to provide good customer service, it is a little off-putting when a customer talks to you like you are the scullery boy and should really be prostrate on the floor while addressing them. It gets even worse when the customer has a complaint. Then the fireworks really begin.

My favorite was a customer complaint letter I read in book one time. It went something like "Well I know that your motto is th customer is always right, but as a customer, I think you are wrong. The customer is not always right, and since we are always right, we are not always right, but if we are not always right then I could be wrong about the customer not alwys being right. Go sit on a tack." Amazingly the person even signed their name to the letter.

Sounds like most of my days......

I had somebody try that "customer is always right" approach when I worked at a bank. If it wouldn't have gotten me in trouble, I would have laughed at him. Instead I was like, "No, we're a bank, and your balance is what we say it is."
I hate to say it, but I dislike that attitude. I used to have an account with a local bank and after about a year with them they decided to close my account, "due to inactivity" according to them. The did not notify me that my account had been closed, and they continued to accept my direct deposits, but they started sending back the checks I as writing. I didn't know what had happened until I started getting collection letters for bounced checks. It took me another six months and a lawsuit for them to finally give me my money back and pay the debts and collection fees that had incured in the meantime. Luckly a lawyer who is a member of my church offered to hadle the case pro bono or I would have been completely screwed. They still officially claim tht it was a computer error. I've had a hard time trusting banks since.
