If there is someone who you see pretty often, sometimes talk with them, but don't excactly talk to them, and don't know anything personal about them, could you still say you 'know' them?
Also, how large is the universe excactly 52 seconds after you answer? (I had a teacher who could easily answer anything like that, and he was teaching the 7-9th grades (I guess that could be called middle-school or secondary school)... He could've easily been a university teacher but decided to teach there ) |

A chopped and channelled '38 Buick Roadmaster with a dual-quad nail valve 401 from a Riviera would be one of my first projects. A mildly customized '56 Lincoln coupe and a phantom* '74 Lincoln convertible and '79 Pontiac Grand Safari two-door might be less ambitious projects to start with, though. (*"phantom" customs are cars that appear completely stock, but are configured in ways that were never offered by the factory. Lincoln's last factory convertible was a '67 model.) Quote:

Nah. Eye patches and bandanas are where it should stop. I hate it when people dress their pets up. It's so pathetic. If I wanted that I'd just get me a f#&king Barbie doll.

Surely that's a rhetorical question. |

I had yet another cat dream this morning. I really do need to get 2 kittens very soon.

What breed of kitten are you thinking of? I keep picturing you owning Siamese, probably because of the "pets looking like their owners" maxim. The lithe bodies and regal yet playful nature of Siamese would suit you to a "T". ScottMate

In reality, Siamese are extremely affectionate and love to clown for their chosen one's pleasure. Moreso than other breeds of cats, Siamese tend to bond very closely with one person, and suffer severe separation anxiety if they are given to someone else. Siamese are also very vocal, and aren't the least bit shy about letting you know when their needs aren't being met. Doesn't that description sound like a certain someone we all know and love?

My last cat was a Siamese. His name was Moss Temperton, and he was the coolest cat in the world, whose personality was exactly as Scottsie described. He was so smart and mischievous, he and I used to wrestle together. Sometimes he would wait behind a corner and as soon as I'd walk in he'd pounce me and run off. He also used to wait for me to come home from work and I'd see him sitting in the window looking at me as I approached from street level (my apartment was 3 stories up), and when I finally entered there he was, sitting on the floor waiting for me to pick him up for some lovin'. One time I caught him eyeing a very particular skein of yarn (my ex and I used to knit) and I said, "No you don't!" I took the skein and hid it under the cover to my ex's knitting machine. A few days later when we came home I saw a trail of yarn all over the apartment, it came from the spare room where the knitting machine was. I went there and saw that the cover had been pushed aside, a small light basket on casters pushed against it from the other side of the room, and the blue ikat rug was also swept aside. My ex's two fat cats were sitting in the living room staring at us. Moss Temperton was nowhere to be seen (he was hiding under the couch).
