QUOTE: Originally posted by loathar We must have had a big wind blow up the other night and I must not have latched my train building door all the way. Woke up in the morning to see the door blown open all the way. No big deal, right? WRONG!!! I walked in to see most of my rolling stock laying on it's side all over the layout. Locos ALL knocked over, buildings moved out of place, and to my horror, my brand new Spectrum Dash8 laying on the cement floor with several of it's parts scattered about. Trying to figure out what happened, I looked at my tunnel portal to see my cat sleeping inside the mountain on top of two trains she had knocked over.AAARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Kitty got her first flying lesson! Had my pistol right there. REALLY wanted to shoot her but I didn't. She is permantly banished from the train room. Couldn't have picked on one of my crappy Tyco or LL locos.HAD to be the new Dash 8!!! All in all it took the fall pretty well. All the parts popped right back on. It hit right on the rear light. Dinged the paint pretty bad, put a little crack in the dynamic break houseing and the light doesn't work anymore. I should have shot her![xx(][xx(][xx(][:(!][:(!][:(!]

QUOTE: Originally posted by davekelly QUOTE: Originally posted by RedLeader QUOTE: Originally posted by davekelly Got rid of my cat problem the easy way. The ex got all three of them from the divorce. (Reminds me of a story. Way back when, one of my NCO's asked if he could leave work a little early because he needed to pick up a Christmas present for his son, who was 4. I asked him what he was getting him. The NCO said "a drum set." I of course said "a drum set? for a 4 year old? you've got to be kidding!!! why would you ever do something like that?" His answer? "The ex got custody." Told him to go get that present now! LOL You're lucky your marriage ended right, other may last forever! Anyway, loathar sorry for your loco. Red Leader, Wait, it gets even better. The new wife thinks me doing the model railroad thing is cool. We once went to Dallas (about 6 hours away) to visit some friends. On the way home SHE suggested we stop by a train show in Fort Worth that read about on the net. On another trip she suggested we stop by Discout Model Trains in Addison and thought it was way cool that after only an hour or so of going up and down the aisle I found some neat things to buy. LIFE IS GOOD!!!

QUOTE: Originally posted by Big_Boy_4005 True David, any cuisine that uses strong flavors would do to disguise unusual meat selection. However, it is Eastern Asians from many countries that have a well documented propensity to consume animals which we westerners would consider taboo or disgusting. Trying desperately here not to be politically incorrect.[;)] Not being from America, you might not get the joke "Cat, it's what's for dinner." That line is from the American Beef Council's TV ad campaign, only substitute beef for cat. By the way, that is only a seasoning packet. You need to add the meat of your choice.
QUOTE: Originally posted by Leon Silverman Loather: I put my garbage out with the trash in uncovered trash cans on the side of the house and have yet to see any evidence of them being distrubed by wild or wondering domestic animals during the five years I have lived here. We place sunflower and wild bird seed mixture seeds on our rear deck to feed the squirrels and birds that come by. Since the food is readily obtaineable on our rear deck, the animals do not bother our trash cans.
