I don't know much about the boxing thing, isn't that just something played up by unscrupulous circus folks?
I think roos prefer the gloves off disembowelling thing with their proper limbs.

Speaking of beasties, Pudding, can you confirm that kangaroos actually do hop?  We have a membership to the zoo which means we go near constantly during the spring and summer, and our zoo has a whole herd (flock? pride? school?) of kangaroos, but I've yet to ever see one of them do more than flick an ear while they sleep in the shade.  Are our kangaroos depressed by their zoo lifestyle, or are all kangaroos spectacularly lazy?

http://www.npwrc.usgs.gov/about/faqs/animals/names.htm found a list of all sorts of animals. Ali, T should like these.

Ooooh, thank you!  I love this!  I had no idea that a bunch of apes is called "a shrewdness."  I LOVE that.   We are a shrewdness of atheists, are we not? :D
ETA:  A business of ferrets!!!!  A tower of giraffes!  Ther mental pictures of these are amazing!  I want to paint them!  And I can't even paint!

I love these too! A parliament of owls! A gaggle of (evil) geese! An unkindness of ravens! (yes, really.)

Gaggle gaggle gaggle.

That's just fun to say...

And then there's a 'prickle' of porcupines. I love it. Cheerful words indeed.  ;D

I'm going to third that -- a romp of otters was just perfect.  And I know I've heard a murder of crows before, I think it was the name of a Ruth Rendell book.

No one tell Puddin's new friend that a group of Hippos is called a bloat (she's a bit sensitive as it is.)

^^  Haha, I would be too if you naturally assumed my name was "Chub"  ;D

Okay ladies of HAF, new reason to be cheerful.  Get yourself some Archipelago Morning Mint body wash.

From the discription: "This moisturizing body wash is infused with stimulating extracts of mint and citrus"

They aren't kidding!  It...um....tingles.  I quite enjoyed my shower this morning.  ;) ;D

My final grades came back and they were really good!!!
So many years have passed, since I proclaimed my independence, my mission, my aim, and my vision, so secure, content to live each day like it's my last, it's wonderful to know, that I could be, something more than what I dreamed, far beyond what I could see -Dream Theater

I noticed one of the reviewer cons on the website was that it was "difficult to use".  Isn't that a squeeze bottle?

The one I got is a pump bottle and I broke the pump this morning trying to get it in the "up" position so I could pump it.  I assume that user had the same problem.

Well... errr.... I'm glad it was just a bottle!

Our family will be moving back to Newfoundland next summer!

Ottawa's okay and all, but I'm really glad we'll be home, at least for a few more years. :) Can't have the youngster forgetting his lineage and all.

Oh, wow! That is some huge news for you, for sure! :)

Just out of curiosity, will you be able to continue your current job back home in NFLD? How about your husband?

I'm glad for you, it'll be nice for your kiddo to see the east coast and be closer to family.

Yep! Pretty much everything will stay the same! My husband will just have to fly back to Ottawa a couple of times a year until he finishes his program. :)

Went to lunch with some friends from work, including our old boss who retired 2 yrs ago.  Had a great time catching up and planning to take a possible group cruise to Victoria B.C.  And brought home a slice of rhubard pie that I'm now eating.  I am a happy panda.
