Sorry about that last post. Although I'm sure you were all thrilled to the toes to discover there is a Mac virus in Italy, something must have gone wrong when the dork next to me unplugged my terminal with his foot. I was actually posting to clarify that (1) Reba is my sister's ferret, not mine, and therefore lives in New Hampshire, two states away from me in R.I. (2) She's never _allowed_ Reba to have beer, she just steals it when they're not home. As anyone who's been to a state school can testify, it is quite common to come home with a can in your coat pocket on Friday and not remember it until Monday morning. Reba stole one can, dragged it under the bed, and punched a hole in it somehow and drank a good portion of it. We were concerned, of course, but since she seemed okay, we were also a good deal curious as to why she'd be so attracted to a closed can she knew nothing about. I'm also a little nervous since I'm going to have her for a year while my sister lives in swank University housing. Is she going to destroy my furniture? Torture my dog? I've never had a pet ferret before, I only took care of two in a nature center and they were weirded out after years of being dropped by five year olds. Just didn't want to think we were turning the ferret into an alkie - - - Heather Seal - [log in to unmask] [Posted in FML issue 0750]
