14984. arkymalarky - 5/16/2005 4:47:51 PM Labs are generally great to train. Unfortunately, Sasha was an idiot. We loved her dearly and she lived over 12 years, but she was an idiot. 14985. Ms. No - 5/16/2005 5:08:27 PM Ha! I thought it was funny!
Yeah, Drake was a good dog and smart, but stubborn, stubborn, stubborn and he was a bit of a chauvinist, as well, if you heard my mother tell it. I think it was only that he didn't think my mother really meant it when she scolded him so he learned not to take her seriously. 14986. judithathome - 5/16/2005 8:37:23 PM The guy across the street got one of those invisible fences and his little lab seems to be adapting to it very well. She doesn't come out of the yard, anyhow. 14987. iiibbb - 5/17/2005 1:14:24 PM Cool site of the day... Cluster Balooning. 14988. Magoseph - 5/17/2005 3:11:48 PM I could never do something like this, iiibbb--could you?
 14989. alistairconnor - 5/17/2005 3:13:33 PM Mago, did you ever see a book called "Pascal and the red balloon"?
Had it in the 60s... translated from the French... that was what happened at the end, Pascal sailed off around the world with a bunch of balloons. 14990. Magoseph - 5/17/2005 3:58:04 PM II didn't know anything about it, Ali, but I found the video here long ago in some school material, but I don't remember where the school was, though.
14991. Ms. No - 5/17/2005 8:56:28 PM That was one of my favorite books as a child, but it made me cry every time I read it. Somehow the magical trip with the balloon hoardes at the end never compensated for the death of a loyal friend. 14992. iiibbb - 5/17/2005 9:03:15 PM Message # 14988
I'm not sure I could devote the funds to soemthing like that. I'm not scared of heights. I think it'd be fun... but maybe with the hot-air variety rather than this.
I've always wanted to try hang-gliding or para-gliding... but it's one of those things I may never get a shot at. I have a friend who's a hang-glider pilot and hung around a few for a month or two when I lived elsewhere. It was pretty cool. We went to an overlook once to watch them launch. It was a really windy day... only 2 guys took the plunge and they didn't stay up long. It was wierd for someone to be standing there, and then not... especially for me who's used to rappelling, but nothing like this.
Apparently you can get into the sport for about $5K... so it's not cheap. It's more the time investment. You have to fly alot to stay good.
If I got a slug of money I'd probably explore the race driving stuff more deeply. 14993. arkymalarky - 5/17/2005 9:22:24 PM Hello all. 14994. arkymalarky - 5/17/2005 9:22:52 PM I am afraid of heights. 14995. arkymalarky - 5/17/2005 9:23:20 PM And depths. 14996. arkymalarky - 5/17/2005 9:23:43 PM And widths. 14997. arkymalarky - 5/17/2005 9:24:26 PM I'm going to get the puppy a week from today. 14998. arkymalarky - 5/17/2005 9:24:48 PM I hope. 14999. arkymalarky - 5/17/2005 9:25:11 PM Or a week from Saturday. 15000. arkymalarky - 5/17/2005 9:25:32 PM Depending. 15001. arkymalarky - 5/17/2005 9:26:09 PM Grafitti!
I mean, confetti! 15002. arkymalarky - 5/17/2005 9:38:22 PM Dadgum--someone put a toe tag on the cafe today. 15003. iiibbb - 5/17/2005 9:48:10 PM Stupid ADD
