Gosh, I feel so . . . so . . . lectured!

In primate-related news, we have placed orders for a variety of bizarre monkey paraphernalia, which are presently zooming to our office via a major commercial parcel carrier. Also, the first signs of spring are showing around here, and we're in a good mood about it. So we're going to forego our usual catty snipes and award the inaugural (and hopefully final) The Monkeys Are In The Mail Prize to somebody who had a good idea but couldn't pull off the visuals. Presenting dsb411 with The Clapper 2.0:

Hmmm...I wonder if this will be a long voyage? Whatever it may be, I hope it is pleasurable and not something bad.

Maybe that is what makes it so "lucky?"

Dontwanna gave me the monkey. It actually screetches when you press a box in its tummy. It has kept me company while I wait to win one from woot. Wait, I won one from woot, but it was never sent...

bump

He photographs well! Trying to keep the cats away from the bamboo?

Two of the three cats don't care about the screeching noise the monkey makes, but the baby black kitty runs away...body close to the ground.

I don't know if bamboo is toxic to cats, that is why I have never had any real plants in my home, but I always wanted bamboo. My hubby said that pandas eat it and they are animals, so with cats it shouldn't be a problem.

I should ask Lynnie if she knows a place online where I can find a list of non-toxic plants. I love gardening, but am afraid to do anything inside.

Yes, the monkey is quite handsome. I think it is a male? What do you think?

Male. Did not look like a girl to me. You can't find a list of non toxic plants? Outside cats know what to eat. Try looking at some childcare sites.

My cats have never been outside.

don'twantaname wrote:

That is a good thing. I ran over a cat once. It walked right under my car while I was driving.
I bet they list plants in the babyproofing books. I'll look around tomorrow and see if I kept any.

Did the cat die?

don'twantaname wrote:

Completely, I was passing the back end of a parked car when I saw the cat by the front tire. Figured the cat saw me, but it walked out and I ran over its head. Felt the bump, heard nothing. I went back to check,cat died instantly. Called the cops and reported it. They didn't know what to do about it but they said the town would get the cat and it was gone the next morning.
I saw a dog when I was a kid that had been run over and was dying. That was not good, crushing the cats head, which means it felt nothing wasn't that bad.

Wow. You're a cat killer. *goes to hide kitties from dontwanna

*Takes a step back

*Back away from the cats

;)

I see it as a cat suicide. I was driving slow, it was dark, How can you not see a minivan? Or hear it?
Daughter was in the car with me. She had a learners permit to drive at the time. She never saw the cat.
Would have felt alot worse if I hurt it.
Your cats are safe with me. I like cats, don't understand them, but like them.

So your daughter is a kitty killer?

don'twantaname wrote:

No but you would think that since she was learning to drive she would have seen the cat. That is one of the problems with new drivers, they aren't use to watching the road. So far she hasn't killed anything yet. Lots of deer where she is. Gotta watch out for them.

Yeah, deer are very dangerous.

Do you have an eye for extensions on houses? We want to put one on and I can't figure out how to do it and have it look good. We want to have some ideas before we go to the architect. We only had him draw out our plans the last time.

The kids are gone or almost gone and now you want an extension?

Edit: Do you mean addition?

Don't did:

Uh oh ... I smell a Friday contest idea being ... er, born.

Create an original concept for an addition to don'twantaname's house. Show the addition integrated with the original structure.

You may borrow elements from any architectural style, but they must be objects used in the actual construction of dwellings in the continental United States so grass huts or igloos are right out. There was an old lady who lived in a shoe however, so we suppose that would be ruled fair play.

Post the pictures here in the discussion thread by 11:59 PM CST on Sunday.

Did I mention "uh oh"? ...
