Destroit

Happy birthday, I'll see you hopefully this summer at DGN Camping .

OMFG YOU GUYS...I found motivation! Expect me back in this thread when I am THIN.

Random BUMP!

Kinda tired

Take a nice long nap in my recliner.

Easiest and most natural transpo for them is the shoulders, they like it (make sure you're wearing a tee, not like a tank top or you're getting scratched), but throw one on each shoulder and walk around like that . It may take young rats or rats that aren't used to it a minute to catch on, but they will. I used to take my two boys before the three I have now EVERYWHERE just on my shoulders, they stay there and don't try to jump down if they trust you and you trust them.

I know that you haven't seen Mugen in a minute...but he is fucking GINORMOUS. He's SO fat that he doesn't even sleep on his belly like a normal rat, he's so big he sleeps on his side, and he sleeps so damn soundly that I ALWAYS think he's dead when I walk in the room . The other one we adopted in January was so fat when we got him that we playfully named him "Lardo" . The third one, Yang, however is still very thin and fit. How big the rat gets usually depends on how active they are and how much they naturally are inclined to eat, and it varies widely in rats, hence why my boys are huge and Ying is fit. But...can they eat until they die? No, they won't. If they eat and eat and eat (and I know it seems like it's an UNGODLY amount) they will basically fall asleep, in my experience, and sleep it off for awhile. People think I'm horrible but I definately spoil mine with treats because they get so damn happy when I give them some, and we're talking about animals that only live 2-3 years so long term effects of being a bit overweight don't take as big of a long term health toll as with humans, so I wouldn't worry about them eating too much . Also, if you notice your rat taking a LOT of food when you hand it to them and they keep coming back for more without stopping for a good nap - 90% percent chance they're taking it and hiding it somewhere. Hoarding is definately their nature, only someone that owns a rat will truely know the meaning behind the phrase "pack rat".

Like I said, I"m sorta the unofficial resident rat lady, I'm fairly all knowledgable about them. If you ever need any tips or have questions about them, shoot me a PM . What kind of rats are they? Like coloring-wise?

Yeeeah, I'm a big rat lady and allergic to rats...? Someone's overexaggerating . But then again, I notice your roommate (whichever one they are) is allergic to "everything" . If you can have pigs running around the house and not have allergies...you can definately have rats.

Pretty damn good

Playing some World of Warcraft and waiting for my lovely boyfriend to make me some fucking food.

Most definatly NOT A SWASTIKA...I know that may be what it looks like, but look into it, it's not. It's a 3,000 hindu symbol that well, means exactly what Candyman said it means. Sooo...believers of the Hindu culture are just suppose to drop a VERY meaningful and positive symbol to their entire culture just because some asshole facist decided to be a dick and turn it into something negative? I mean if he had posted a swastika with a caption "HEIL HITLER" above it infront of the Nazi Eagle...I could understand the upset. Psssht...it's like how gay people stole rainbows and now nobody else can use them . IT ALL OUR RAINBOWS, DAMNIT, AND I WANT IT BACK WITHOUT PEOPLE THINKING I'M GAY...I mean...I think they're pretty. *Looks around* ...Whaaat?

Aww I didn't know you were going through shit or I would have said something too. If it makes you feel any better, nobody comforts the mods in their time of need...well then, I haven't been comforted by anyone here before, except Troy and Phee. Other than that? Not ONE person on here has ever really asked me how I am, and while it doesn't bother me personally, I get how some people could take it to heart though. I wouldn't take it too personally. Hope whatever crap you're going through is resolved, or at least you can make peace with it.

Eating Cookie Crisp and trying not to fall asleep.

Kids are totally welcome, I mean as long as they're relatively behaved and don't infringe on adult campfires by being in bed (and no I don't mean adult like orgy I mean "adult cooldown time" so to speak at the end of the night). Also, people will be consuming alcohol, but we're all grown adults (no shady underage out of control drinking) and it shouldn't get out of hand .

I don't like to post a "for sure" list this early in the game, I'll probably come out with a list in the next few weeks. I'd probably go over the thread and get a jist of who is going that way. People that have said for sure and seem like they're quite gung-ho this year, so far we have a count of 9 definates, myself, Pest, two guests, Punky plus one guest, Nienna sounded like she was hyped and Peelingchrome and Scales sound pretty damn "for sure" about it also. I also see some more takers along the thread that seem like a pretty solid yes. Oh and BUMP! Remember, if you're staying the weekend there camping, PM me for details, cost, etc and reservations . Will blow your effing mind with hardcore funness

A turkey sandwich

Typing away at my novel...

7/10 Call me stupid, but I didn't know that Hannibal was based on an actual guy. I know that in movies many serial killers have been based off of Ed Gein, but I didn't know the author of the Hannibal series (of which I've only read the last book, but have seen all the movies) actually based Lecter off of an actual man. Creepy. I'm still mad at the last movie where Hot Young Hannibal failed to bang his hot Asian Aunt, therefore, the movie got minus points because of that .

Nuh-UH! I typed it when I first got up this morning before I hopped on WoW .

Yeah I was going to say, only a REALLY unneccesarily overprotective parent is going to tell their 10 year old that they can't go outside without them (imo a bad parent because their kid never fully learns to cut the apron strings and always will believe they have some false sense of protection through their lives, imo). Any parent who doesn't let their children go out by themself reads the news too much and is also partly responsible for the paranoid atmosphere that is all over the world now. This was in Britain also, not Detroit . I could see if a mom let her kid wander off into the Hoods of Detroit by herself at age 10, but then again, I go down to Detroit and see little kids walking around all the time, so there you have it. I was allowed to ride by bike to Metro Beach everyday in the summer there and back by myself, with money in pocket and completely unsupervised, which was around a 17-20 mile bike trip total. I always came back one piece and unscathed because momma didn't raise no foo.

HOLY SHIT...four people beat me to the punch...way to make me look like I'm slacking on girlfriend duties! He's playing WoW right now, or I'm assuming he's about to start, and I told him he had a birthday thread on DGN and he seemed appreciative of it . NOW if only I can get him off that game for a minute (I'm guilty because I"m about to hop on myself). Oh and happy birthday, hottienessers .

Meh, just about as rigorous as when I was in gymnastics as a little girl, hence why I didn't last long and all the other mom's had all of the gymnastics girls make fun of me collectively, in the open, and in a group. I thin beauty pagaents are just as destructive too...why can't we just let little kids be kids, huh?

It's MAY be your birthday..but do you have proof to back that up? I kid, hope you're having a nice warm birthday with your family down in Florida. Take care
