You're still 200% more powerful then Jesus This! So true I appreciate what you have done for FSTDT to continue, Distind.

The going to the vet for a frozen tongue sounds like an interesting story. It's not interesting story, it's rather long and sad and made me feel totally stupid We happened to notice one evening that our boy was drooling, avoiding us, bit down and didn't want to eat. We managed to get vet appointment for the next day and she then checks him and asks us if he's been eating something corrosive since tip of his tongue was missing and whole tongue actually looked pretty bad, kinda "ragged".
(I felt like a bad parent, even that we keep all of our cleaning -and other chamical stuff locked from cats...)
She then just says that in that case he is getting antibiotics because it was either burnt or frozen. Our cat didn't like opening his mouth too much so she couldn't be sure which it was. So it was quick shot of antibiotics and painkiller he got from her there and we also got those normal antibiotics to give him at home.
On car back to home we discuss all the possible hot/cold stuff that he might have got in his paws and eaten, still considering if he still has managed to do something even more stupid, like licking shoes and getting that from there and we almost have a fight blaiming eachother for the condition of cats tongue when I realize something, they had had fish.
I had taken their fish from freezer to melt and knowing that they would like to eat it straight away - frozen or not - I had put it in cold oven knowing that they don't get it from there. BUT I had left it for five or so minutes unattended in the sink before putting it to the oven because I was trying to find suitable container, plate, whatever for it and I had the get one from bathroom x(
(yes, we have limited amount of cupboard room and I like to keep their dish from mixing with ours, even their cat tuna cans are in different place from our tuna cans, and yes I have separated "dish brush" for their dish... )
STUPID, GREEDY cat of ours had of course taken the chance and gone to the sink where he normally doesn't even go close (he's been washed there once or twice) and helped himself some fish.
Anyways, after few days of antibiotics he was already looking better and eating everything that he usually eats and his tongue was actually whole again, just a little different shade of pink from the edges and when he had finished his antibiotics you would have never guessed that there actually had been anything wrong with it.
They haven't actually had too much fish after that.Long story short: Stupid owner, frozen fish unattended, very stupid cat, 80 € for vet including meds.

It's sad how few, loud and stupid "individual" can ruin the reputation of so many, but it happens all the time. Everywhere. In small scale and in large scale (from families, to clasrooms and from villages to whole nations) No one notices the silent, intelligent and funny persons or the normal people, who just don't want to argue.
I confess, that before getting to know FSTDT my opinion about Americans was based on loud and badly behaving idiots, who after all are in minority.
AND I would like to thank you all for giving me some of my faith in humanity back, even that I know that most of it is gone forever.

We actually have moved THE water bowl to bathroom because of that But we also keep small bowl with tiny bit of water in kitchen so our "little girl" can still have her fun of wetting the floor and annoying our older cat They just know it That they have cost some money. And other things as well. (vet, all the clothes they've shredded, vet, vet, fuzzy eating-stuff, vet, vet, broken dishes, vet, dislocated shoulder, vet, laptop, vet and vet visit because of frozen tongue!)

Poor kitty But at least you can be sure, that he's getting better already. I've always wondered what's up with those cat medications/drugs since they seem to have instant effect. And why don't they have such a powerful stuff for people too?

True. There's also a rule about only posting in ENGLISH, with proper spelling and grammar. The little bit I spent trolling around on there I saw spelling errors and there's probably tons. They just can't write :/ Did you ever take a look at their home schooling area? It just makes me so sad that people who don't know how to write, and sometimes even read (when it comes to Bible, I think) want to teach their kids at home. And this lady is teaching Geometry to her son and not even knowing how to use protractor. Last time she was asking about fractions...

Most of the times I get that "Where Is The True Church" / "True Church Identifier" Once I got add next to youtube-thingy about Scientology, but mostly these adds are from x-tian sites. I think their target is bit off xD

They used to have FSTDT threads often, but usually Buzzardhut would lock them down before too much time had passed. Can you remember any of what they said about the site going down? One of them (Threads) was started by someone (one of us baiting perhaps?) saying that one of their atheist friend had been crying over their favourite website (fstdt) not working anymore... In that thread... or was this on the other, I remember someone throwing that freaky seisure smiley and being happy about "that horrible site being taken down" (I'd say that they assumed that it had been taken down by authorities) Can't remember too much, sorry, and I didn't save it since I wouln't have guessed that they'd remove that thread "about their victory over us"...

They actually had few threads about FSTDT disappearing/being down/moving, but none of those lasted even a day. Just like their thread about that poor little 9-year-old girl where they were most upset/sad about the abortion part Yeah, they seem to clean their forums more often these days and remove anything that would put them in too bad light or cause real discussions/force their members to think...

Hmm, I've never actually tried air drums x) But I've tried real ones few times. Liked it actually.
Edit: no, I wasn't too good at that either, but it was fun ^^

I thought for a while about starting to play guitar, but then I actually had a chance and tried to play one. I sucked. I suck even at air guitar

I have Vista on the laptop I'm using at the moment. It really makes me miss my old one with XP in it.

Oh the shame of people who don't take time to dress up before fleeing before storm, right?
Maybe one should even consider having extra clothes on their car too. Just in a case of an accident. You wouldn't want to be in bloody clothes when the paramedics come to rescue you, would you?
And somehow I could just imagine how horrified Lydia and Carla would be if they'd know what I wore when I got married, not to mention what I wear at the moment x)
