I'm thinkin' it's a good thing she didn't say Mr. Bradstreet was a big a-hole... especially before you disclosed that he's a relative!

Sorry... typing while sitting sideways not very good. Of course I love her!

I liked on the E90 where Skillet confirmed that Apple was a TROLL and not the cool kind that allows you to style her hair.


*Sorry, not reading well either. You bought TWO?!?!

Hey BigNorm - are you the only moderator for the Classic thread? I've seen some other threads that were eventually moved to a different topic (no, not all of 'em are OFF topic), so I wonder if we can get one of the "big cheeses" to help move us and rename us (after we finish voting on the new title, that is)? We just don't want to get locked down or something for always being *relatively* off topic.

This one tomorrow is intriguing so i will go and find out more!...
I am thinking the same as what you said, I just needed that reassuance! thanks...
Don't give up hope. I work for my City Government after 21 years in private industry. My first year here I nearly went bald from pulling my hair out due to how slow everything worked. We always joke that thank gawd we don't run a hospital! The patients would all be dead before we made up our minds as to what the treatment should be. To hire anyone here takes an act of Congress. The work that the new person was going to do is already obsolete before we even get them hired.

I am sure that your person really is sick and has not been able to address the "process" properly. Look on the bright side, I bet your tree is nicely packed away, you were able to watch the national events today and enjoy history in the making. Your job is out there and it will come at the right time. Keep the faith.

Thank you all for the good wishes for Krissy. He is doing well and adapting to his cone head. He was selected originally because of his happy little face and his sweet disposition. No matter what, he is my angel. He does have a personality and is vocal when things are not to his liking. Once when he was out of water, he took the little liner bowl and proceeded to take it in is mouth, go over to the top of the stairs and toss it all the way down the staircase to let me know in no uncertain terms that it was empty. His special treat is canned whipping cream on his dog food. Yuck!

Skillet, I am really sorry, but as has been said before, you are the most gracious and upstanding person ever. Thumbs up, hats off, high five to you. I am honored to share a thread with you and the others that have taken this adventure with you. After all, isn't that what Mini/MINIs are all about.... sharing the adventure and experiences of life with other individuals that truly understand the discovery of the true meaning of Mini/MINI ownership - sharing with others. One bad apple cannot ruin this thread. As I always tell my nephew, group hug and Krissy kisses make any day better. Everyone should consider yourself hugged and throughly kissed by my happy poodle!

Thank you very very much, you really picked up my spirits this morning! You say such kind words and cheered me up! As a matter of fact everyone here has been great with kind words and keeping me occupied while unemployed! thank you all -
kiki you are correct, my house is clean, every sheet from every bed and every piece of clothing is wash and put away, and yes I did have the tv on all day yesterday!

I'm keeping the faith. Maybe this is a test to give me patience, because lord knows, i have none!

I think Krissy deserves some whip cream today!!! keep us informed on his progress! Sloppy kisses all around, even by my princess Thistle!

Hope it worked for you today!

I wanted to find the video when he does his little daily affirmation in the mirror but I couldn't find any online. Maybe NBC removed them or maybe Al Franken removed them due to his running for office. I thought he used to say "doggone it" but... .

I like you.

I hope that your baby is better soon. I don't remember if I said anything about how cute he is or about your sweet little garden entry but I meant to. Sometimes it's a challenge to keep up here.
