I havent been here much either due to computer problems or life getting in the way! Will be in here as much as I can tho in the future... Diana (ShortTrooper)

Yes 11 is ancient for a ferret, 5 to 7 is the maximum age for a fuzzle...My oldest one now is nearly 8 and Lester is dying of adrenal cancer...90% of ferrets die from some form of cancer.....4 of mine have died from it since last year (I had 7 at this time last year,Smokie died of old age tho..) . now I have 2... Mollie is 2 and Lester is nearly 8...I make ferret bed and sleep sacks for them every year...a Sleep sack is like a small bag they curl up in and got to sleep...even tho ferrets have a fur coat they do not like being cold.....I also make them a sleep hammock too....usually two or three of them will pile on top of each other to get warm in the hammock... Thank you for the link! I have heard of that site and it sounds like it's right up my alley! I will check it out! Diana (ShortTrooper )

I make nearly all my gifts, and most of it is special foods I only make this time of the year...no matter who bugs me all year I only make it this time of the year. I also make some knitted items for my two grown up girls, and stuff for my two ferrets.....One of my ferrets just passed away a few weeks ago....she was nearly 11 years old.....

Nah..We do that on the 4th of July on kicking you guys out in 1770's .....we celebrate because of this: "I do therefore invite my fellow citizens in every part of the United States, and also those who are at sea and those who are sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next, as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our Father in the Heavens." President Abraham Lincoln, Oct. 16th, 1863 American Civil War between the States Happy Thanksgiving every one!! Diana (ShortTrooper )

I have a nephew and his family that are stationed in Texas that are in the US Army right now...I salute him and all his fellow brigade members!!! Diana (ShortTrooper )

I voted but not saying who for. Diana (ShortTrooper )

I've bought all three cereal boxes and all the Pringles cans...I couldn't resist. Diana (Short Trooper)

I wish sometimes that would happen, but it's hard for a woman to get into the higher power political world.....even here it is... Diana (Short Trooper)

No matter whee you are in this world, there will be a war or a rumor of wars... men who have dark evil hearts and minds that are full of greed and power against those they don't like because they don't like the way you live is a sad way to live...and dis-reguarding any human life and not caring who you kill when you blow up a bomb on innocent people..... I am hoping that a lot of them will be rumors of wars and not an actual attempt as this one was.... Diana (Shorttrooper)

I know this is a costuming site but right now I wish we DID have those Sandy troopers, as I'd be deploying them to Iran right now. As I am sitting here watching FOX NEWS, there has a been a terrorist plot that was being possibly fufilled with $100,000 was going to be transferred to a bank in NYC, that a car bomb was going to be made to attack the Israeli and Saudi Embassys here and also that the Ambassador to Saudi Arabia was to be assasinated by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard through the Senior Members (Probably Imanutjob!) Iranian Gov. approval on US soil. Monies were going to be laundered through our border countries through the drug cartels and then sent to a bank in NYC After the asaasin had gotten his money it would of been carried out immediatly is what they are saying right now....Two men have been captured at the JFk airport, one is still at large in the US.... They were hoping to kill as many people as they could, and had no regard for human life here, they were only concerend to who and how many people that they could kill. After that other plots would of been done through the MExican Zata drug cartel to fund money for them!!! Two were arrested as they tried to come to the US on a fight that Mexico refused to let them land, they landed at JFK airport today and they were grabbed by the FBI... They are notifying the Saudi and Israeli embassys today and that Iran is now on a hawk watch list....if they are that bold to have assasination attemps on our soil...that opens a huge can of worms.....they wanted to make a point and do some thing that insideous and then boast on it...they don't care....it could be considered an act of war ! Makes me wonder what they are really doing in those nuclear plants in Iran.... IF they had been sucessful in Washington DC. they are saying that it would of killed huge numbers of innnocent people (Possibly Congressmembers) and we would be at war with Iran...I wouldn't hesitate a second to go over there and bomb the h=e- double hockey sticks out of them, then ask questions later... God protect the USA and our people from nuts like this who's only thought in life is to kill with no thoughts of other people lives in another country. Diana (ShortTrooper )

that was a good one! Diana (ShortTrooper )

It's a lotta work to make the armor but it's worth it all to see yourself in this armor, and the faces of people you meet! Mine is in storage right now due to a neck injury but I hope to wear it again some day! Diana (ShortTRooper )

I'll give you some quarters!! That is genius drawing and sign...And it is in front of a WalMart!!! LOL Diana (ShortTrooper )

Rolf, I am glad you weren't in the towers that day...we would be missing a great person on here if you had been! I know a few people who thought it was a movie they were watching too until it was on all the channels after about 10 minutes. They were shocked that it was actually real....maybe we as a country had become numb and complacent to violence back then..... I know I don't watch war movies or games any more since then.... Glad that all are safe, and we in the USA will heal from the wounds of that day but we won't forget it. Diana (ShortTrooper )

wow, nice bright red Flash costume there!! You did a great job and they can sure see you coming in that one! Diana (ShortTrooper )
