awww, how sweet  :thumbup: :plus:

Thank you. That picture is actually a photo of a photo, that's why there are reflections on it!
Maybe by tomorrow the changes I made on Photofuckit (resizing, sharpening) will show up.   :2thumbsup:

Yes, I have to take pictures of pictures, too. I have no way to scan photos so there is always glare.

thanks guys.  :thumbup: She had a good life.

I think Devi must have had a good life to make it to nearly three years.  I think that three years is a long life for a rat.  My daughter wants one, but I'm afraid of how she would handle it when s/he dies.  She's had so many loved ones die already.

thanks. :) yes, 3 years is a little on the longer side. most live not far more than 2, but it has been known for a rat to live well past 4. It's always hard to teach kids about death, and I dont have any kids and plan on never having any so I have no idea what the good thing to do about that would be. I guess the good experiences are worth having the bad ones.

Sorry that your pet died Eris. I am not an animal person but I know how attached people get to pets and I am sorry you are grieving over the loss of your pet.
I2 today is not i2 of yesteryear. It is a knitting circle. Those that participate be they nice or asshats know their place and the price to be there. Odeon is the overlord

.Benevolent if you toe the line.

Think it is I2 of old? Even Odeon is not so delusional as to think otherwise. He may on occasionally pretend otherwise but his base is that knitting circle.

Censoring/banning/restricting/moderating myself, Calanadale & Scrapheap were all not his finest moments.

It's always hard to teach kids about death, and I dont have any kids and plan on never having any so I have no idea what the good thing to do about that would be. I guess the good experiences are worth having the bad ones.

Because the Princess Royal was born into a small family of older parents, each death hits her particularly hard.  I read an article about explaining death.  It said that death is a part of change and part of our sorrow is a fear of loneliness and missing the person.  If things were to stay the same (no death) then there would be no new people in our lives.  Sort of like, "If Grandpa were still alive, then we'd be living in 2005 and we wouldn't have your new sister." 
A good monarch is a treasure. A good politician is an oxymoron.

My brain is both uninhibited and uninhabited.

When the oldest was about 5, we had a couple of young deaths in a row, and I read her Frog and the Birdsong. She asked for it time and time again. It has both the sadness and realising it is a final end, and the notion of life going on, and things coming in place of what is lost.
We also talked about it a lot. And both kids were playing funeral for months.

The book I read to my daughter was called The Fall of Freddy the Leaf, which someone recommended to me to help kids deal with the death of a loved one, but Frog and the Birdsong looks good as well.

My condolences on your loss.

Sorry to hear Eris :(




I had guinea pigs several years ago too. They were abysinnians which are the breed with very very long fur. They were impossible to keep groomed :-\
