Cool Oak! That is a great.
I get to see my sis this weekend. She is coming to my X-mas party! Very excited.
We were MUCH closer as kids...I still feel/remember that. As adults we are MUCH more different. But I always want to see her and think the same bond will reoccur.

Safe travels and have fun!

BTW...I saw from anther post that you "winter" elsewhere. You often speak of what you know about flat FL...are you a "snowbird"?

I wish I had a sister. Thought I never knew what I was missing, but really, I don't have anyone to call just to share my thoughts with, like a best friend but more indepth knowledge of the family dynamics, and I wish I did. For some reason today especially.

Yep.

I HATE moving. But now that we've been doing it 5 years, I have attachments "down south" too, and would have a hard time giving it up.

I know, everyone should have such problems.

I've recieved the a-ok from the house finance minister (i'm the prime minister of our house) to purchase a new mtn bike. I have very few options & the Trek Fuel 8.9 WSD looks amazing but at $8000 (that includes shipping from america) i think it's a wee bit too expensive... The Rocky Mountain bike, it can stay in Canada with the components it has. Speaking to an experienced, well respected person in our mtb community at thier awesome bike shop today i've come home with not many choices...

I am able to try out only one XS bike (since i know someone with one!) & that's a Yeti...

It's a big big BUMMER being small & no one stocks bikes my size..Poo. Big Poo.

Yes, it is! I hope you eventually find something you're happy with.

Booooteful day in paradise today

just that tad bit hot at 37C. Doggies n I are in the shade til later when we venture to the doggie beach

Btw...anyone know how to vaccuum thier doggie without frightening them? Poor Ozzie's shedding HEAPS of hair & although he loves being swept, vacuuming him doesn't quite go.

Ideas?

**Tuckervill** · 12-04-2009, 05:03 AM

A really long hose, with the vac in another room? Would probably diminish the power of the vac, but it's not that hard to get dog hair off.

**NbyNW** · 12-04-2009, 06:33 AM

I don't vacuum my dog. He has short fur, and I think it would freak him out.

Right now I don't vacuum anything, because somehow the %$#@#! movers forgot to put my vacuum cleaner on the truck. Now I have to wait for my property manager to ship it up here. It's a really nice ($$$!) one, with a HEPA filter. Otherwise I'd just forget it and buy a new one here.

CC have you tried a Rubba scrubba?

I'll buy you one if you like. I hear they are really good for shedding dogs. My cats like ours..

**Tuckervill** · 12-04-2009, 09:02 AM

My mother gave me one of those, and it didn't work.

Karen

**Biciclista** · 12-04-2009, 10:00 AM

it didn't work, meaning? it works on my cats and on my bedspread.

**Tuckervill** · 12-04-2009, 10:06 AM

I don't use it on the cats, but it doesn't work on my furniture for some reason. :-/ I have never needed to use it on the bedspread (I use quilts, and generally cat hair doesn't stick to that).

Karen - either you have different quilts or different cats than I do! lol~ I have not yet found a surface that the hair from my cats does NOT stick to, including the quilts.

Mimi - I just ordered two rubba scrubbas, one for me and one for my daughter. Thanks for the recommendation!

**Tuckervill** · 12-04-2009, 12:28 PM

Hm, weird. My big Siberian-type sleeps on my bed every day, and doesn't leave anything, except the clumps that would have fallen out anyway. (He does leave streaks of hair on one of my tablecloths.) I just pick the clumps up, not at all like dog hair.

I guess I have special quilts. lol.

I had a Tim Tam, must hide the remaining , or i'll be going across the Street to Albertson's to buy some more
