it's rhyming like that that led to, "Make a new
plan, Stan, no need to be coy."
Roy.
Once they are removed, then I have to figure out whether to go partial, bridge, or implants.
Or hillbilly.
Implants! I love implants!
Oh, wait... you're talking about teeth here right?
Then definitely hillbilly.
I was afraid the story was going in a very different direction, like the other animals weren't dead, just hibernating.
No the other pets were with a veterinarian (apparently I can't say vet around here without
somebody misconstruing it) when they died. But I did feel a little ill when I thought I was
this close to just chucking the hamster.
Here's something to entertain you folk while our leader is down.
This is what goes on between my DH and his colleagues at work, I loved it, enjoy! Names have been changed to protect the innocent.......
That was great stuff!
I think T!m and J*ff would fit in real well around here.
No, life is not a Disney cartoon, but in a way it is.
Well.... while you're right about the toons having sad parts, like Mufasa dying... but I think all Disney toons end happily. That's what I meant.
But I do want to say thanks for all the other kind words you wrote. From you and everybody else too!
Didn't have permission you say. Well I would like to challenge this ruling.
Hmmm... you've gotten a lot of mileage outta this one...
Let's see what fun we can have with it, shall we?
Members of the Disboards, Ponzi claims he didn't have permission from Nebo to post his story. I say otherwise. Upon the evidence I provided above; I tend to prove (without a shadow of a doubt) that said permission was given by Nebo to Ponzi, allowing him to post in his TR about the unfortunate dismay of his daughter's hamster.
Your Honor...
Sorry, just the thought of referring to Nebo as "Your Honor"...
Okay, okay. I'm fine now.
Your Honor <snicker> my worthy opponent mentions evidence which I intend to show is circumstantial at best and completely without merit at worst.
One may argue that Ponzi posted his drama story on this TR before said persmission was given by Nebo.
Your Honor, the prosecutor has just admitted that the story was posted prior to permission being granted. I do believe this is an open and shut case, but in the interests of completeness, I will continue the process of exoneration.
I would like to offer in evidence that per Nebo's post, Ponzi would have been granted permssion anyways when Nebo posted:
"Drama? With two teenage girls? What could possibly go wrong?
Ok, c'mon,,, GIVE."
Your Honor, the prosecution has just entered into evidence the very proof that shows that permission had not in fact been granted until
after the post had been... um.. err... posted.
Now it may be argued that Nebo made this statement AFTER Ponzi already posted his story.
Yes your Honor. The defense has no argument with the prosecutor's position, precarious though it might be.
Yes, we can't argue the fact that Nebo was late to the party again,
Stipulated.
but this statement proves he would've granted said permission.
Your Honor, I would like to draw your attention to the conjunctive verb "would've".
We must also take in account that Smidgy, who is the spouse of Nebo and therefore has equal rights to claim to this TR as her own;
Objection Your Honor! Possession is nine tenths of the law. As evidenced by the thread counter, Nebo has (as of the latest facts and figures) 82 posts whereas Smidgy has only 31. Therefore, Nebo has in fact
more ownership then Smidgy. (
Just ignore the fact that I have 120... heh.)
But setting that aside, even allowing for equal ownership (and the defence does
not stipulate equal ownership) permission would therefore need to be provided by
both parties involved.
gave said permission to Ponzi BEFORE he posted his household drama (as provided in the evidence above) when she posted the phrase "uh-oh... afraid to ask..but I will.. what happened?
Stipulated. Smidgy did give permission, however the defence's position is that the permission was not Smidgy's to give. At most, it was only 50% hers to give. Please note that Nebo, as the prosecution has already pointed out, had not, in fact, provided written permission at this time.
Therefor I ask that you find Ponzi not guilty of illegally posting to this TR, thus setting him free to carry on with his posts.
Your Honor, I believe I have succesfully refuted every one of the prosecutions erroneous claims and therefore Ponzi should NOT be found "not guilty" but rather guilty. Guilty I say! ... and... umm.... wait...
Oh PRAC!!!! I just argued myself into a guilty position!!
NEVERMIND!!!
I know I'm stepping into the grounds of insensitivity here,,, but I've never heard of a "rescue Hamster".
It was a hamster that had been returned by another family. Usually people don't want a pet that's been returned, for whatever reason.
And she got up with you early that morning so you wouldn't have to go by yourself,,,even though she was so tired, like she said she would in Hawaii,,, and,,,
Ah, you remembered that. Yeah, she's quite the kid.
You are not going to like this, but in our house at the same kids time period, the solution would have been pretty simple.
Hamsters are like Rib Eyes to Corn Snakes, who usually only get to eat mice,, and,,well, it would have been quick the snake would have been happy for the next couple weeks,,and,,, this isn't going over well, is it?,,
Not going to like this? You're talking to a guy who used to own piranhas. I had three of them for a while... a short while. There was a little one, a middle size one and a bigger one. One morning I woke up and the little one was gone. A week or three later... the
big one was gone!
Anyway... I lost count of the number of 'feeders' (a polite term for goldfish) that I went through.
Well, you and I have gone from the Men of Mirth, to the Brothers Grimm. But really, tell Elle I feel for her, then she can say,,,"What in the WORLD is a Nebo?"
Are you kidding? My whole family knows who Nebo and Smidgy are.
Actually, I think they might be a little sick of hearing about you guys...
oh Ponzi how sad Poor lady Elle,
Good luck Nebo, may you be out of pain soon! I'd be willing to bet you scored some pain meds today as well ....at least I hope so 
Yeah time for me to get a coffee, otherwise I don't foresee much learning taking place in my 6 o'clock class.
tee hee
