Wow... No adoption agencies over there or something?
 
How much are people bidding on you so far?
 
Hmmm? I have a fifty something bidding five bucks on me I think. Why?

That's probably Evo. Oh, wait, she's not anywhere NEAR that old.

Did the sleeping smiley change? I never noticed the zzz's splitting before. :zzz:
 
I'd have a few questions before I'd bid on a baby.
Is it steroid free?
mostly white meat or dark?
 
they've always been like that...

are you getting senile?

I never noticed the splitting of the Z's before, just the waving up and down. I guess I've never stared at it long enough before. :confused:

As for my senility, where is that ban button again? :devil:

Well that proves it, she's gone senile, can't even find her favorite button. Well, nothing to do but consign her to Tribdog's Convalescent Home. :biggrin:

Old news, it was a teenager playing a prank. The police talked to him and he was very sorry for the stir-up :rolleyes:

Stress is such a killer. That's why I'm mastering massage techniques. I want to be able to release as much stress as I cause.
