Personally I think people are too hard on him, but he is kind of annoying. Edit: he also posts his real name, address, phone number(?) and pics of his kid. —chix0r |

Saturday, April 2, 2005 at 7:24 PM NO!!! I don't have a new puppy. That is a very hot topic around my house. I have been ready for a new doggy since the last one died, which is about two years ago, but my mom is afraid that no one will be home to walk it. However, if I had a dog to come home to, I'd be there to play with it. And yes, my dog was cooler than Mr. Rogers. —mandeemoo22 |

Saturday, April 2, 2005 at 9:35 PM I assume that many eccentric artists fit the description of Theo. Carlin lived in a car with his wife and kid and Hedberg was not exactly an accountant type. Those nine to five type personalities stay nine to five until they retire with social security which probably won't be there. Being "in your face with who he is" probably means he isn't shy and will make it someday. I don't have it in me to do it...but find the confident and not people pleasing folks do. Why does he have to be in his teens again? I don't get that part. —hardpathtowalk |

Saturday, April 2, 2005 at 11:37 PM Growin up, I finally thought it would be sweet to be responsible for life, since my parents were not enablers, I had to do it myself. I bought two hamsters... I put them in the same cage. They fought like two cute little male hamsters could be expected too.. Soon after I buried Lester (the lesser of the two) in my back yard during a snowy late February evening... My other hamster, his name was Isaac Hayes, he did his wheel all hours, I remember fondly wd-40'ing it in the wee hours because if I hadn't I would have killed this poor little animal... anywys... I learned, at a late point in life, the principal behind "survival of the fitest" and started working out regularly... Thanks mom and dad, for repressing me. I could have been a world championship body builder had you gotten me two hamsters when I was 14... ugh. On a sad note: Isaac Hayes, the hamster died about 4 weeks later, out of lonliness I presume. Their little graves are now early spring tulip gardens... RIP little guys, your flowers are beautiful.. (wipes dripping tear from left eye) —masonjar_condition |

Sunday, April 3, 2005 at 5:48 AM I had two hamsters that never opened their eyes. I tried to keep things simple for them so they could get food and water but the other hamsters killed them and ate their heads about a month into maturity. I think I had too many in the cage but was waiting for them to be old enough for the pet store to take them. I was told that was Nature's way of taking care of bad genes so they wouldn't procreate. —hardpathtowalk |

Sunday, April 3, 2005 at 5:51 AM I have graves in my yard, but it is people. In this podunk town there is only one cemetery and they buried their folks right in the yard. The newest grave is 1930 and when I moved here last April I did some research on my "neighbors" and read all about this man, wife, baby and mother-in-law. Guess that makes me super geeky. Some folks are too creeped by it and said they couldn't sleep over. I am not freaked. I tend the calla lilies that grow around them. —hardpathtowalk |

Sunday, April 3, 2005 at 6:39 AM jar_con..........my husband's former wife was not an enabler either. Her kids are self reliant but choose only to contact her on holidays as a duty because she distanced them with her severe rules about not leaning on her. They weren't my husband's kids so he didn't have a lot to say about it. I probably lean more toward the enabling type. I would say leaning hard, but loved them so much I found it hard to say no to much. I suppose all their problems are my fault. My own parents were one of each. Mom wanted us to be forced to save and work hard etc...and Dad was undisciplined himself and couldn't dish out much. How much is environment and how much is genetic though? I have read about twins raised separately with almost exactly the same occupations, habits etc. —hardpathtowalk |

Monday, April 4, 2005 at 12:15 PM No, my dog didn't die on my 8th birthday, that was my hamster, who was killed by my dog. All of us little 3rd graders went out for pizza and when we came back, there was this little fur ball on the floor and no one could figure out what it was. So, my friend went over and picked it up. That's when I screamed, "Oh my God, it's Sparkie!" I was never really upset, I was more disgusted that the girl touched it and that it was laying in the middle of the living room. We had a little funeral for it. Touching. —mandeemoo22 |

Monday, April 4, 2005 at 12:24 PM Awwww. Depending on how close to your hamster you were, it could have been more traumatic than your dog dying. I've never cared for hamsters. My friend had a bunch when I was in elementary school. Her dad was always doing shit to the house, tearing down walls and such. One day her she couldn't find one of her hamsters... at dinner time. they heard a scratching behind this one wall on the same floor, opposite end of the house... assuming it was the hamster. They never tried to get it out, because hello, the hamster would have just ran away anyways had they kicked a hole in the wall. It's still there. But dead. Sad story. —PureChaos414 |

Monday, April 4, 2005 at 1:30 PM I don't like small animals like hamsters or mice or ferrets. They gross me out. My dad was renting out part of one of his houses to this family with a daughter, who had a hamster. One time we were staying in the basement and I was in bed and I heard a little scratching noise, so I looked behind me and there was this furry creature and I started screaming because I thought it was a mouse. My dad woke up and had to come out with his blanket around his waist because I guess he was sleeping in the nude (EW!) and told me it was a hamster and put it back in its cage. —mandeemoo22 |

Monday, April 4, 2005 at 7:51 PM My parents aren't married, but I have had to endure my mom having men spend the night and praying that I don't hear anything. One time a man slept over and my sister didn't know it, so she was walking around in her underwear (She was like 13) and the man walked downstairs and saw her. That must have been traumatizing for her. This woman who used to babysit for us and now works for my dad has gone to business parties with my dad and his wife. She said that his wife gets drunk and talks about how she can't have sex with my dad unless she is drunk. I don't care that she said that because I'd have to be fucking dead to have sex with my dad. I have a problem with my ex-babysitter telling me this and putting in my mind the thought of my dad having sex. That was sooooo unneccessary! —mandeemoo22 |
