Actually to tell you the truth they were wild caught because they had no dolphins from captive stock they could draw from back when this program started.

So I've been doing the monkey scramble like Ziroc did to find a new host (which I now have...I'm just waiting for the DNS to move it's laggy self and point to the new host). Fortunately, the old site is still functioning (miraculously) but I don't want to do anything to it as I have everything backed up onto a CD-ROM and don't feel like reburning anything. So until everything settles down, I'm in cyber-limbo. The worst part is that Network Solutions (i.e. InterNIC) still has my old e-mail address (the one at the downed ISP) and trying to get them to change it...well, I think it's easier to deal with the government. I'd rather try to pass a bill through Congress than deal with InterNIC again. So I'm hoping everything will go through before the old site goes down. Right now, it feels like a race against the clock.

Saz! Sound ghastly! What a time you have had! *passes a bottle of primo Champagne to the beleagured moderator* Here...let's toast to a much improved real life and the return of fantasy and crpg here at Ironworks, at least!

I spent some time studying, most of my time working and the rest of the time pouting about not having Ironworks of course!

I visited Stealthys Site frequently, keeping in touch with a few people there. I also jumped from forum to forum looking for anywhere as nice as this place.

I would like to say a big thank you to the folks at The Elysium, who welcomed us Ironworks refugees - I hope some of them pop over here to say hi. Of course nothing could take the place of Ironworks though

Other than surfing the net, it was a pretty miserable 2 weeks with some minor stuff like leaking radiators, and also my much loved little budgie passed away last weekend - he was 10 years old, very old, and we knew he wouldn't live forever, but alas he was ill for about a week and although we tried to save him, nothing could be done. Very sad, I miss the noise and him chirruping to me when I come home from work.

You'd be happier, that's for sure! I've washed a few cats in my day...whoa! John, I hope you had protective armor on, is all I can say. *looks at her battlescars* Yup... you NEED that armor!

Epona, I know I said I was sorry to hear about your losing your budgie on Stealthy's site, but I repeat it here. So sorry!
I hope all the non-working things are fixed too!

Haha! Cat washing eh? Reminds me of a joke. OK now, please please take this joke in the light humor it is intended to be. I am a TOTAL animal lover, you have no idea. This is just one of those "cruel" humor jokes not to be taken seriously, yet funny nevertheless.

Here goes:

WASHING A CAT

1. Thoroughly clean the toilet.

2. Add the required amount of shampoo to the toilet water, and have both lids raised to open position.

3. Obtain the cat and soothe him while you carry him towards the bathroom.

4. In one smooth movement, put the cat in the toilet and close both lids (you may need to stand on the lid so that he cannot escape). CAUTION: Do not get any part of your body too close to the edge, as his claws will be reaching out for any purchase they can find.

5. Flush the toilet 3 to 4 times. This provides a "power wash and rinse" which I have found to be quite effective.

6. Have someone open the nearest door to the yard and ensure that there are no people between the toilet and this door. Also, be sure that any hallway doors are FULLY opened.

7. Stand behind the toilet as far as you can, and quickly lift both lids!

8. The now-clean cat will rocket out of the toilet and run outside, where he will dry himself.

I'm sorry. Was that in bad taste? I thought it funny, but if it offends anyone, please say so and I'll nix it.

Ladyzekke,
I wish I had done it that way, that beats a gunney sack. Two jobs off the honey-do list at once.
