12. to hide their own scent
to make it harder to track them in the wild, which of course does not explain why they then turn around a pee everywhere to mark their scent.

18. I read another post of yours. What kind of dog do you have?
Edited on Tue Dec-28-04 07:06 PM by intheflow
"Allergic" is not an acceptable answer. ;)

Edited for typo. Someday I'll remember there's aspell check here.

30. Two dogs
One is a beautiful husky/border collie mix. The allergic one is a Blue heeler, australian shepherd (and someone suggested) border collie mix.

40. Two dogs! You live on a country estate, then,
where two such big dogs can roam free and be in touch with their inner wolves?

45. The husky does
look like a wolf. But no, we live in a house with a fenced in yard. The allergic dog AKA Lida, is the first dog I've ever had that brings me the leash to take her for a walk. And once she starts, she will not stop.

I mostly read posts, I've been a member for two years, so it took me a while to get this far. Also, I'm a single parent so sometimes I go for weeks without being here.

51. I did an internship
with the National Women's Political Caucus. I helped to organize a fundraiser. We sent letters to celebrities asking them to be sponsors. He called the office to say he would sponsor and I happened to answer the phone. The staff at the NWPC was shocked that he called in person. This was years ago when MASH was still on.

Hey! I'm the one who's supposed to be asking the questions here!

:P

(P.S. you're doing great BYW. you should be out of the club in no time!)

To answer you question...I have tons of paperbacks in my closet, books full, they just don't look as pretty as my leather bound volumes...

I also own a ton of vintage magazines...



Your question...do you want to see what's inside the magazine?

(I have to step out for a sec...but I'll be back very shortly...)

rather than ground speed velocity or standing still velocity.

because of the hormones but still might need a wig if it does not grow in thick. (Say anything with authority and whether you know anything or not will matter little.)
