This is turning into animal stories. Same friend, along with her two daughters, with the turtle once had some guinea pigs. One was a black one named Anne. Anne disappeared one day and they thought she was gone for good. Anne was found later in the back of the cupboard under the sink. When she came out she was really skinny! Anne ate and ate and ate and became a very fat little guinea pig.

Exie, sorry about your turtle. My friend has a turtle named Tootsie. Tootsie once fell into the jacuzzi and almost became turtle soup. She also fell down the outside apartment stairs and cracked her shell. She's still around though. She disappears somewhere in my friend's apartment all winter and then reappears in the spring.

Hey, I'm glad you did. This thread (before some of the derailments) has been one of the BEST ever on GSC, in my opinion.

Once when I was growing up we had a kitten that died. (Well, my mom had several cats at a time so it wasn't the only loss of a cat we experienced but....) Anyway, we put the kitten in a shoe box and went to bury it in the back yard. My Dad also had a bunch of poker chips in a shoe box. Yup, we almost buried the poker chips.

no way, mstar1, are you serious?

When I was really little, I used to eat the ends of burnt matches.

I can see how you can't go from Dudley Moore to Chevy Chase. (I was wondering that myself) but I don't think there's a rule against dead people, as long as they were in the movie. Unless you're kidding? -->

RCM's class? Do you mean LCM's class?

Did three people post at once?? Raf!!! Be the Ref!!

Ha that's funny! :D-->

Tanks :)--> That pool one reminded me of one summer we were all swimming in my friends' pool. It was one of those big round over-the-ground things. My brother jumped in and the sides collapsed and we all floated into the neighbor's yard.

We used to go to a place on a lake in Canada every summer. We would get our water out of the lake with a pump that was outside the cabin. One day my brother and my cousin wouldn't play with me. They were pumping water out of the lake so I went inside the cabin and turned on the water at the kitchen sink so that they were pumping and pumping and the water never came up. I stood at the kitchen window and watched them being perplexed as to why there was no water, chuckling gleefully to myself.

I think the closest thing to an invitation is if you bump into Way people and they say "It's not as bad now."

When I was little, I filled the toilet with toilet paper and told my brother to flush it. When it overflowed, I blamed him.

One time at work just for the heck of it, I pushed all the buttons on the elevator and walked out. Some guy walked in and said, "Did you do that?" and I smiled and said "No."

And SMILE SMILE SMILE. Never be sad, depressed, worried, or upset. :)--> :)--> :)--> :)--> :)--> :)--> :)--> :)--> :)--> :)--> :)--> :)--> :)--> :)--> :)-->

Yes, Steve!, I did go home for Christmas, and then I sure as he11 didn't want to go back, even after the Branch leader had said, "Why don't you just stay there?" I came back for more, after all it was my "assignment." If I stayed home I'd be breaking my "assignment" but my BL says to stay home. (???!!!) When he suggested I leave and not come back, I thought "Don't throw me in the briar patch."

LOL :D--> No, I think it was two different things she did but coulda been.
