Aislin Ceawlin Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 I know I'm a bit late, but I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas/Holiday! What wonderful gifts did you all get? I finally got the pet rat I've wanted for so long, lol! He's a hybrid hairless- dumbo ear and his name is Touille! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madelaine McMasters Posted December 27, 2015 Author Share Posted December 27, 2015 That's a cute li'l rat, Aislin! Are you gonna teach him to cook? We don't exchange gifts, but I did get my boarder, Mac, a "Pink Nightmare" onesie (from Christmas Story). I borrowed the big (100lb) therapy dog from Mom's retirement village to celebrate with us and she took a liking to the fuzzy material of the onesie. Mac spent the evening trying to get her off his lap. He'd scootch her over to an empty cushion and within a minute she'd crawl back onto him, snuggle in and give him a kiss. It really is better to give than to receive. ;-). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aislin Ceawlin Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 I agree, Madelaine, giving is the best part of the holidays! I was just so excited about Touille...I've waited so long for him :matte-motes-big-grin: This year was a bit of a bummer, someone got hold of my debit card info (Phishing, theft...no idea) just days before Christmas. My bank caught it fairly quickly, and the losses weren't too bad. Probably take about a month to get my money back, but of course they had to cancel all my cards, and it made things difficult...so my gift giving was pretty sad this year. I know it's not about how much you spend, and I was able to at least get something for my son, my partner, and my sons girlfriend. In the end, it was still a beautiful (although snowless) day with the people I love the most!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madelaine McMasters Posted December 29, 2015 Author Share Posted December 29, 2015 Okay, now you've got a rat, and they're pretty darn smart. So, here's something you gotta watch... I've a friend who's trained her gerbils to do tricks using the clicker method. You don't expect to see such little things doing tricks, it's great fun to watch. And finally, call me Maddy. I can't spell Madelaine. ;-). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hippie Bowman Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 I got a water pic! https://www.waterpik.com/ Now I can blast what teeth I have left right out of my mouth! LOL! Peace! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL! Peace! Since you probably won't be flossing anymore, tie some dental floss around your teeth before using the pik. That'll make it easier to fish them out of the drain after.

Madelaine McMasters Posted December 31, 2015 Author Share Posted December 31, 2015 I do like gathering people in my house over the holidays. I also like sending them home again. ;-). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirLeighBastard Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Someone in the pub offered to sell me eight legs of venison the other day. I didn't buy it; it was too dear. ***Call me if you didn't understand this, or better still ask your teacher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dillon Levenque Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Well, fooey. I'm too late for 'holidays' but at least I'm ahead of New Year's Day for everyone GMT +2 or later. Happy New Year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aislin Ceawlin Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 HA! So cute! They're such intelligent creatures! Touille is a geriatric fellow, a rescue, in fact; I just couldn't leave the store without him though. He's very loveable, but I don't think his previous owner spent much time with him. I take time everyday to let him run and play on the bed (he gets lost otherwise) He's taken quite a liking to my 11 year old Boxer, and my 13 year old Tuxedo cat....if he was female, I'd call them the Golden Girls...lol. They actually seem to like him, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aislin Ceawlin Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Just spending time with our children (and them actually LIKING it) is one of the greatest gifts ever! :heart: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aislin Ceawlin Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Touille is old, he probably would have been stringy, and tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aislin Ceawlin Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 LOL! Apparently, once you blast your teeth out of your mouth, you can use it for (although as a nurse, I'm not sure I'd recommend this...) cleaning out your ears, and your sinuses! Repurposing!!!

Darrius Gothly Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 It's also good for cleaning the lint out of your keyboard ... ... but only once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
