    So far my day has been really odd. I got to my office, and hopped in the lift. Pressed the button to go to my floor. The doors closed, i waited, the doors opened... where i left from... it never moved!! So I used the stairs. Got into my office and all the internet was down. I walked up to all my ADSL routers planning to restart them, and got there just in time to see them all come up again. Noone else was there to restart them and they had been down for about 7hrs. So anyway.. I make my coffee and sit down at my desk, then my phone rings... Its my flat mate telling me that my neighbour just stole my dog.... who the hell steals a dog?? And this is all in the first hour of my work day. What else could happen to out do all this (especially the stolen dog.. i mean come on.. get your own dog!!)?!? [Update]Well I got my dog back (after getting the police involved) and my neighbour has been told not to enter my yard again, and then the police pretty much told me if I wanted to take it further, he would have a stronger case then me. :wtf: :wtf: I dont know why, if he comes into my yard uninvited and takes my dog, how he would have the stronger case. But their suggestion to me was to make sure my dog was tied up :mad: Also the lift apparently started working a few min after I had tried to use it :doh: [/update]

      'Dog' was just a code word for television. :suss:

      My current favourite word is: I'm starting to run out of words!

            People here steal dogs to be used either as bait in dog fights, or to be sold to labratories for testing.

                Well thankfully that doesnt happen here much. My neighbor has been letting him out and calling the pound, but I think he got sick of the pound not catching my dog, and has probably taken him there himself

                      lol, I'm just about having one of those "days" this past hour. Viewing the online bank account for bills paid and posted vs balance remaining, tomorrow could be a horror for me. Then all the other nasty things start happening. I'm now afraid too!

                                  AHAHA... I see... That would be bad. Do you ever go Cowboy hunting? Around here, when things like Roo's get to be too many, we all go hunting. So when there are to many Cowboys do you ever 'cull' them to stop them taking over?

                                    I've spent enough time in Aus to no longer find roos cute. They are the US equivalent of a stupid deer. The cowboys already took over--even girls at my school chewed tobacco.

                                        Since cowboys were some of the first settlers (after NATIVE AMERICANS) we can't really kick them out. If you consider cowboys equal with farmers/ranchers then we need them in SD for the economy. If they would only cull the deer in the area; we have a hunting season but it seems like every day I see at least 2 new dead deer on the road on the way to work.

                                          So far my day has been really odd. I got to my office, and hopped in the lift. Pressed the button to go to my floor. The doors closed, i waited, the doors opened... where i left from... it never moved!! So I used the stairs. Got into my office and all the internet was down. I walked up to all my ADSL routers planning to restart them, and got there just in time to see them all come up again. Noone else was there to restart them and they had been down for about 7hrs. So anyway.. I make my coffee and sit down at my desk, then my phone rings... Its my flat mate telling me that my neighbour just stole my dog.... who the hell steals a dog?? And this is all in the first hour of my work day. What else could happen to out do all this (especially the stolen dog.. i mean come on.. get your own dog!!)?!? [Update]Well I got my dog back (after getting the police involved) and my neighbour has been told not to enter my yard again, and then the police pretty much told me if I wanted to take it further, he would have a stronger case then me. :wtf: :wtf: I dont know why, if he comes into my yard uninvited and takes my dog, how he would have the stronger case. But their suggestion to me was to make sure my dog was tied up :mad: Also the lift apparently started working a few min after I had tried to use it :doh: [/update]

                                          Why would he/she risk such an easily identified theft? Wow! :omg:
