Do you ever get mad your name cant be shortened into anything nick-namey?

I would complain about that, and people would say, ''Well you could be Laura''

No... thats a different name!

It''s funny you ask, because my parents picked it specifically because it didn''t have a nickname. They both hate their full names and go only by nicknames and they didn''t want me to have to deal with the same thing. I did have a freshman history teacher who gave every single kid a nickname, and he called me ''Laur''. Haha.

This is how I ended up with a one syllable name! Can''t be shortened. My dad''s can and he has always disliked being called the shorterned version.

he''s a bunny. how can he not hop/jump?

Maybe you can teach him!

Does he lay Cadbury Eggs?

OMG, somebody invent that bunny, STAT!

Even if he just lays mini eggs, it will be acceptable.

(Hi Lilac!)

Hey, Lilac!

Hey, elle!

How''s it going?

Not bad! Thinking about lunch...

How are you?

 

[Lauren8211]

Speaking of eggs, no one ever decided they want my Jewish eggs.

I''m heartbroken.

Because he''s dumb. Physically he''s probably capable of jumping up to 3'' - emotionally he''s a scardy cat. He has jumped up on the couch 3 times, so I know he could if he wanted to. I can literally keep him contained with a 14" high fence because he never even considers jumping over it.

 

[Hudson_Hawk]

um...what are "Jewish eggs"?

Hey, Lilac!

Hey, elle!

How''s it going?

Not bad! Thinking about lunch...

How are you?

I''m good. Busy in general, but today I seem to have a bunch of time because I''ve made the decision to procrastinate doing the work I have to do.

Shoot, now you made me hungry! I wonder what I''ll eat.

um...what are ''Jewish eggs''?

My eggs, like... release-from-the-ovary eggs.

Apparently they''re hard to come by, the Jewish ones. But no one wants mine!

The ones she was going to donate.

I''m sorry they didn''t want your pretty Jewish eggs. Maybe another couple will.

Hmmmm..... I could use some extra money...

 

[CNOS128]

I never realized the Jewish ones were more in demand. When I was like 22 and the right age for egg donation, my dad told me he''d kill or disown me if I did it.

Mini eggs are my crack. If Otto could lay mini eggs I could die happy.

Ohhh, Elro!! I want to eat him up!
What kind of camera do you have, btw? These are wonderful. Did I already ask you that??

 

[Hudson_Hawk]

Otto DOES lay mini eggs, but not the kind you wanna eat

I didn''t even know people donated their eggs until this came up with elle a while ago.

I wouldn''t actually do it myself, but I find the concept interesting.

Apparently its hard to get selected. Ive been signed up for a while now.

I''d have an easier time mentally and emotionally with giving eggs than being a surrogate.

I wonder how pooch would take to a bunny???

But then i don''t have room for a big cage either.

Yeah, cages do have to be bigger than most people think. 2''x4'' is probably the smallest, but a 4''x4'' doggy exercise pen is the best. Otto''s area is actually 4''x8''

It''s funny you say that, because people who show rabbits usually keep the little guys in 18"x30" condos (stacked in 3s). Outside!

I just heard an attorney answer the phone for her secretary while she was out to lunch.

Hell just froze over.

LOL!

I didn''t know they were capable of that. Was she running a fever? Did she hit her head and get amnesia?



ETA: morning everyone!
I''m still trying to catch up to you all.

Absolutely!

Props to those women who will carry a baby for someone else. That must be so difficult.
