Peaches are my friend - all fresh fruit is my friend.

Excellent, vehve, a good shower - special attention under your nails - a good night of sleep and then get at that 1,000 lbs of brownies.

We're expecting our own lab to go into heat soon, she's a co-owned dog, and the other owner has the right to one litter out of her, which she will be using now. We might have to go the AI route with this coupling too, because our girl is very small (20kg) and the male she intends to use is quite big (40kg). I've given Karin permission to let Kiusa give birth at home, and the puppies can stay for one week but then the gang gets to move to the other persons home. I'm not much of a puppy person. I like grown (house broken) dogs better.

Vehve, you and I would never last in the same household. Please at least tell me that you owned the home you two are living in before you met. I would not "give permission" to my spouse for anything. If he wants to, he does. He does not "give permission" to me for anything, if I want to, I do. There are some things that we check with the other on, to make sure there is no major issue with it, but usually we make our own decisions. He is not my father....

to the queen!!!! (Oops, I mean the one who used to be temp-queen )

Well, the Princess always asks me for permission.

That is so very funny, but she ought to ask for permission.

Wisher, Karin and I are two people who agree on almost everything. In some cases though, I have to be the voice of reason (and in others, the roles are reversed). When I say "given permission", that's more of an humorous way to describe what we agreed was the best way to do it, neither of us really wants the puppies at home, but for the best of the dog we thought we'd have her give birth here.

Now if Karin decides she wants to do something, she's perfectly free to do so. But I feel that in an adult relationship it is also considerate to take the other persons wishes and feelings into considerstion before doing anything that affects him or her.

Someone really should invent a way to convey tone in written form a bit better. What's meant as a bit of a joke easily gets misinterpreted... I try to use the smileys sometimes to make it clearer, but I've never really liked them.

 

[sourland]

Oh, yeah! Well the smileys don't like you either.

 

[Wisher1000]

Some do...

Some don't...

Even with smileys lots is missed... Even with tone lots is missed.... (Body language is so important )
I like the smileys though wish there was a sarcastic one... What would that look like?....
