Don't suppose it can have Vista, XP and OS X all installed at the same time?


My wife is using http://refit.sourceforge.net/ to triple boot OS X, XP and Linux. It looks like it could handle Vista too, if you can get it onto another partition.
Of course there's all the usual warnings about using ...

He's still going well. Wobbling about, but still defending his "kittin forts".

I said, "Ahh" because he snagged a claw on my fingertip. He's good for
my blood pressure, he lets some out regularly. :D

Here's a side topic that I've actually thought about recently. Assuming you were the only one with powers you know that the government or other agency would want to study you. So how would you go about keeping your power a secret? Specifically flight or super speed.

If you just ran/flew from your ...

Those are nice pics.

I miss being able to spend time around horses like that.

I bought the box set when someone here pointed it out on Amazon after Christmas. I'm just about to start watching the last episode on the
train home tonight.

I'd seen parts of it before, but seeing everything, right through, has been a wild ride. I've never even considered doing that with any other ...

He loves buckets and boxes, he gets in and chases his tail and does his
best to get someone to try and poke him so he can defend his kitten fort.

I've tried hiding/crushing pills in meat and fish, I've tried crushing it over her
regular food, I've tried coating it in butter. I've tried getting the expensive paste
version and putting it on her fur to lick off, or squirting that down her throat.

The only way I can be sure she's actually ...

Re: Overheard at the vet

She is damned good at hiding them under her tongue, then when I finally let her go, spitting the pill at me and running off.
Oh yes. We know THAT trick.


Oh this morning was fun. It wasn't too hard to give Mama Cat her pill, I've
started giving it to her right before she eats, so she can see ...

Ah, if he'd stuck a note on his own acount saying 'do not enter into any discussion of this account or my money with x' then they would not have even wanted to acknowledge that he held an account with them until she presented probate.


That's only a wild guess on my part. My mother-in-law had ...

Re: Overheard at the vet

So I had to take my old cat to the vet last night. (She's much improved
today.)
While I'm sitting there, I hear the receptionist make a call, looking for
someone who isn't there.
"...Well, you tell him if he doesn't make payment arrangements in 14 days,
we're destroying his semen!"

The thing about animal semen is quite serious, consider some horse semen
could easely have values around thousands of pounds and there are
particular legislations around it.


This vet clinic does a lot of work with show dogs, so I'm guessing they
were talking about his dog.

I still think it's a ...

When my father-in-law died, one of the banks he had an account with
refused to release details of the account until he signed some kind of
permission form. They were quite willing to accept that he was dead, they
just didn't see why they should change their procedures. They said it
was our problem ...

Much the same thing happened to one of my cousins. Her parents brought her
out to Australia when she was a couple of months old, applied for residency
for the whole family after staying here for a bit, but somehow she got left
off the forms because she was too young.
When she was 19 (about 3-4 years ...
