Wrong again.
 
*ME* Boohoo, I'm wrong, I feel worse about the way you butchered my post,
than by being wrong.  8^(

*ME* I'm sure there is many of FMLer's who would be ecstatic with a 99%
hit rate 8^P

*ME*  Well I would hope so, any less than daily, I wouldn't be visiting
you. PeeYuuu!

*ME* Hmmm, still doesn't say whether they were caged 24-7.  I still stand
by my percentages, unless there is only 1 fert and can't pick up bad habits
from an accident or all ferts are seen going to potty prior to exiting the
cage for play.  Then someone is sitting near with a stop watch...ooops,
time to go back in cage to potty.  What fun is that for play.  Newspapers,
oh my what fun it is to rumple, slide and peak out with a black or blacker
nose or coat with prints from Sears and Roebuck.
 
>three boxes in a two room apartment (of course no cage).
 
*ME* That's not a house, that's a cage and doesn't count. 8^P

*ME* Ahhh, now what were my percentages?  You can't arbitrarily call me
Wrong, Wrong Again... with that statement, so your post is null and void.
 
>We'll see if things will get better after Constellation arrives in August.
 
*ME* Here you go and add more poop... Hey, did anyone keep those
percentages? ; ^ P

I have never laughed so much and so hard, in so long ... shh, come
closer... I almost peedied my pants, ooops, there goes those damn
percentages.
 
To the Man: BIG, I think you are doing a 99%-100%... oh, I mean a Wonderful
job as Moderator.  I wouldn't subscribe to the FML, if you left.  I thank
you for all the late nights, the unbiased - sometimes hard decision to keep
everything on an even & equal kilter, you spend selflessly.  Many of us
never take the time to tell you ' Job Well Done '.  Many, including myself,
have just take you for granted.  Without you, there would be no FML.  I
thank you and appreciate the fact that you do a thankless job, on your time
with no pay, except knowing that you are holding together a community of so
many diverse people... for the love of Ferrets.
 
[Thanks for the nice thoughts.  BIG]
