  It's good to read the happy and the sad.

  This has been a good thread (to me), and thanks to the OP for starting it. Very healing for me.

  that's a crazy question.. they really mean, "do you regret your decesion to leave".. ---.

  it's just an ice breaker to become nosy into one's personal life.. ---.

  btw, last time i was asked this, no, everytime i'm asked this i reply with: "i'm never coming back".. they seem to hear that.. .

  I just reply, "That would be like a dog returning to its vomit. Ugh.'

  Turnabout is fair play. *shrugs*

  I was sitting on my mother's bed, and told her I was not going to the meeting (this was after a friend suiciding, and a long illness). She told me I had till the end of the month to get a job and an apartment.

  Ciao!

  Your favourite dog breed ...?

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  1. social
  2. family

  in an earlier thread, i mentioned that i wasn't a particularly doggy person but that my parents got a husky last year that i've come to regard as a kind of brother.. huskies superficially resemble wolves and for me it's been fun to compare and contrast husky and wolf behaviour.

  huskies howl but rarely bark, and seem to have a strong prey drive and a strong pack instinct - a nod to their wild cousins.

  this is why i love huskies, i think.. do you have a favourite dog breed and why?.

  Van - the rotties I have known were lovable, and gentle. One, in particular, "Woofer", was my two friends' best friend. :D We pulled into the coffee shop one day, and a 1/2 ton truck pulled in behind us, with a HUGE rottie in the back, choke collar, snarling and vicious.

  My friend said "That dog is named "Hitler" .......... he is from the same litter as "Woofer" --- proof positive that a dangerous rottie has ***ffed up people! Woofer was the gentlest dog in the world. :)) I feel the same way about Dobes. They are such wussies! ;P

  My bestest dog friend was a Border Collie, and that would be my choice. There's lots, though, that I would take in a New York Minute! Mixed breeds, or shepards, Blue Healers!, rotties or pincers, any kind of setter or water dog, poodle (lol, love the labradoodles! what great doggies, with their size, intelligence and gentle nature!), huskies and malamutes ahhhhhhhhhhh,,,,,,, puppies!

  Thanks, Orphan. That's what I remember from 20 years ago, so, yeah, I could be mixing things up a bit.

  You're welcome.

  besides being overworked and overstressed almost everyday in the past few months,.

  i've had to deal with a 'broken heart', insecurities with my physical appearance (gained a lot of weight),.

  and being lonely because i started distancing myself from the 'congregation', i just want to cry, sob, and bawl out here in my bedroom.
