You should get a Beagle...all you have to do is throw a handful of dry dog food out into the garden and they'll spend all day tracking down every last piece (or you could just distract them with a huge bone from the freezer). You can do an enduro before they'll come back inside :munch:
lock dog outside? dogs are outdoor animals,not indoor ones, sell dog? buy new wheel with money saved from not paying food bill?
Get rid of dog and get girlfriend like most others, same sort of thing really, allows you to pet it, will glady accept bribes, NOO on second thoughts, actually keep dog, they're far more loyal, eat less, don't ask for money all the time, never prang your car or get speeding tickets etc etc
Worst that happened to me, was a mouse in my pedals. I placed the pedals outside to let mouse escape, but after a while snails attacked the pedals - mouse was gone, tho'
No, but would you have to go to spectate because the dog got a little plastic fish stuck on their pinky finger? You are still in front of the computer with access to the wheel when the dog jumps on your leg. It's a bit tougher hearing "whaaaaaa, daaaaaaaad, I need heeeeellllpppp!!!"
Or seeing your 5 yr old sprawled out along the concrete block wall because she thought it would be fun to slide down the steps on her bum while you were simracing. She didn't get hurt though, just a bit shook up.
Oh yea!!! The sleeping bag down the steps! Great fun, especially the old silky ones. I have learned from my childhood and learned what to let the kids have and what not to let them have, LOL.
Mine is the freakin Nemo game on the other PC. "DAD! I can't get the golden bubble! Hurry up, get the golden bubble for me!" Then it's a bunch of crying and general distraction that I can't finish the race and have to go get the freakin golden bubble, LOL. Or she ends up wanting to play one of her online games, which doesn't work well at all trying to race on dialup.
Haha, good idea, but if I used that I wouldn't be allowed to let them have anything. I'll just be an arsehole dad, not let them do anything "fun", I want to call my first born Boris regardless of sex, but I've been told I'm not allowed
But the way I see it, all my friends from school who's parents let them do pretty much anything have turned into spoilt brats who slack off and made nothing of their lives. The ones who had parents like mine have all tried hard to get somewhere with life (though I'm the only one who made it to uni).
I'm not sure why, but I'd much rather be asked to help them finish a game then some of the things I've been called to help with, ranging from "how do I send an e-mail" to "I've spilt coffee over the computer".
Ah dial-up, thoses were the days. I used to download more on dial-up then what I do now I've got broadband, which I'll never understand. But when we did have dial-up we had a line for each computer (back then only two) and one for the phone, only cost £60 (around $120) a month because we got it all from the same company, which was nice.
Do what ive done. BUy some decent ear phones, volume on full then cant hear anyone calling you or anyhing like the phone. Although doesnt really help having earphones if youve got a horny dog lmao
2 cats (1 is pregnant with 3 more due in a week), a rabbit, an occupied fish pond and a two primary school age boys.
Luckily I dont and cant claim to be the mother of any of them, but they all live in this house and scream at the same time, usually whilst making a mess and smelling - that's the boys btw, the animals just smell.
