Cal and the sudden demise of the finger nipper
Posted Nov 15, 2006
I'm sorry to tell you all Travis is gone
Gone to the great hamster cage in the sky
I think he gave himself a heart attack from whizzing round his wheel so much (you should consider this when you're moaning about Elton, bless his little hairy feet)
and so as a mark of respect 
Ode to Travis
Travis oh Travis where did you go
Did you not know we loved you so
Watching you whizz around your wheel
and nibble delicately at your meal
Climbing the walls of your cage
Biting Cal's finger in a rage
Scott the hamster tamer comes to calm
Pointing out that Cal means you no harm
Now we are left with an empty cage
Used paper from a newspaper page
A new packet of finger plasters
For Cal's bitten finger disasters
So rest little Travis, please rest well
And of your antics we'll be sure to tell
All and everyone that we might know
So that you're memory will, forever, stay aglow
*sniff*

Cal has more excitment than you can shake a stick at!

*shakes stick* see!
Well where do I start?
First things first 
second things second 
anyhoo, this morning Scott's nursery called to say that he'd had a bit of a reaction to something. It wasn't urgent but they wondered if I wanted to take a look. Since his nursery is just around the corner from where I work I went round there.
He had a rash that had started off as a little bite and then had spread from his wrist to just above his elbow. Now since Scott was quite happy and he was scratching I left him at nursery with the instructions that if it got any worse they were to call me.
It took me about 5 minuets to walk back to work and I'd been inside for about 5 mins when the nursery called me back to say that the rash had now spread to his other arm. I went to fetch him and by the time I got there (less than 5 mins because I drove) the rash had spread to both legs! :-$
I took him to the hospital which is about 10 mins away from where I work, by the time we got there scott was covered from head to foot.
Anyhoo, by the time he was seen by a doc it has started to go down a little, he thinks it was a reaction to washing powder, even though I pointed out that I'd used the same as I always do 
Then when we were heading towards our house I could see a load of flames, bloody hell thinks I the house is on fire. As it turned out it was next door that was on fire so I had to call the fire brigade.
Now to me this was more than one man should have to deal with on a monday morning!

Cal and the Great shoe box caper
Posted Oct 25, 2006
well Mr postie hammers on the door this afternoon, awakening me from a nice pleasent nap I might add 
.
He had two packages *dances*
My dad did a lot of grumbling about the fact that he never gets any packages and heres me getting two, anyway I digress, One of the packages contained a box of cookies 
thanks reef
the other was an empty shoe box
Dad: What is it
Me: it would appear to be an empty shoe box
Dad: maybe someone is trying to tell you something
Me: what? That they've discovered my shoes are really expensive because I have really big feet and they thought they'd just send the shoe box, going on the whole 'it's the thought that counts' clause?
Dad: no like a mafia thing
Me: Mafia thing?
Dad: Yes
Me: *sighs* Dad really I think the mafia have better things to do than send me empty shoe boxes.
Dad: no you know sending ears through the post and that
Me: *shows dad THE EMPTY shoe box* dad it's empty there are no ears or fingers or other body parts in it.
Dad: maybe someone took it out?
Me: Dad it was wrapped up no-one had opened it, besides who'd want an ear?
Dad: The Police
Me: they would have contacted me wouldn't they to see why I'm being sent randomn body parts 
*I am really get completely fed up with this conversation at this point*
Dad: maybe they want you to think it hasn't been tampered with and they are right now watching you to see what you'll do
Me: *sighs* I'm going to throw it away dad because its an empty shoe box! *I walk over to the bin to prove my point*
Dad: Whoa! thats a perfectly good shoe box *takes it from me* I can pop my daff bulbs in that *proceeds to pop it on top of the kitchen cupboards then wonders off in the direction of the sitting room* is it me or do parents get worse with age?

Cal: Steaming from his ears
Posted Oct 23, 2006
There are several things I no longer bother to do
I never bother to pull posts anymore no matter how offensive I find them, I have completely lost faith in the moderation system. This is because there are certain researchers who run around flaming willy nilly and quite blanetly getting away with it.
I don't normally get into conversations except with my friends, if I am talking to friends then nothing I say can be Taken the wrong way or conected, however loosely, to anyone else.
Sad fact that a site that was such a happy place for me has become somewhere I feel I can't breathe, and that I have no space. And a place were certain fractions of all are allowed a free run no matter how much they upset others.
I am highly disappointed by the whole thing
