Doe-ee

Oooh that really is awful pain. Had the same thing a couple years back and while waiting to get to the dentist he suggested not taking in anything hot or cold (no kidding) and not to use mouthwash or brush the tooth. I did get in for a quick shot of novacaine and a prescription for anti-biotics, between his appointments and that really helped to settle it down until my appointment a few days later. Hope you're feeling better real quick.

You mean like this? Doe-ember Buck-tober Rut-vember Duck-cember Ram-uary Shed-uary Just kidding.

I'd guess about 52 inch girth.... and with that he'd have to wear pants with suspenders. I'll have to take my tape measure down to the mall today, just to be sure.LOL

From Times Online December 22, 2009 Kim Peek, the original Rain Man, dies Kim Peek, the autistic savant who inspired the Oscar-winning film Rain Man, has died, aged 58. Mr Peek's father Fran said that his son had suffered a major heart attack on Saturday and was pronounced dead at a hospital in Salt Lake City, Utah, the town where he had spent his life. Mr Peek was probably the world's most famous savant. Described as a confounding mixture of disability and genius, his astonishing ability to retain knowledge inspired the writer Barry Morrow to write Rain Man, the 1988 movie starring Dustin Hoffman that won four Academy Awards. Born in 1951 in Salt Lake city, Mr Peek was diagnosed as severely mentally retarded and his parents were advised to place him in an institution and forget about him. Thirty years later, he was classified as a "mega-savant," a genius in about 15 different subjects, from history and literature and geography to numbers, sports, music and data. By the time of his death he had committed more than 9,000 books to memory and Nasa made him the subject of MRI-based research, hoping that technology used to study the effects of space travel on the brain would help explain his mental capabilities. He would read eight books a day, taking just ten seconds to read a page. He could read two pages simultaneously, his left eye reading the left page and his right eye reading the right page. But throughout his life he still needed 24-hour care. Despite his great mental agility, his motor skills remained limited; he could not perform simple tasks such as dressing himself or combing his hair. His father Fran became his sole carer after Mr Peek's parent divorced in 1975. Fran Peek said that care of his son was a 30-hour-day, 10-day-a-week job but he did it devotedly, encouraging Kim to make the most of his abilities. But Mr Peek remained deeply introverted. It was not until he met Dustin Hoffman, when the Hollywood star was researching his role in Rain Man, that he could look into another person's face. He was 37 at the time. Dustin Hoffman advised Fran Peek not to hide his son away. Mr Peek said of that meeting: "Dustin Hoffman said to me, you have to promise me one thing about this guy, share him with the world. And pretty soon it got so that nobody was a stranger to him, they were people, and so was he". He took Hoffman's advice, putting his son on stage in front of thousands of people for whom he answered, almost always correctly, the most obscure questions they could test him with. He thrived on his new found fame. Mr Morrow said of him: "I love the way he's flowered, it belies the myth that people don't change, especially people with developmental disabilities." Four years before his death, Mr Peek said: "I wasn't supposed to make it past about 14, and yet here I am at 54, a celebrity!" RIP Mr. Peek

Merry Christmas to you too Carson and I hope you hope you have a great time hunting the next few days.

Uh huh....... So this is what you do all day while I'm slaving away at work?? Good job!

At least it's not white! LOL Sounds like you're in for quite an adventure. Best of luck to you!

That's too bad. Maybe Santa will bring you a new one. Don't you just hate learning a lesson the hard way?

You lucky doog!! Sorry, had to. Wait till you see what's waiting for you at home!

The olympic flame's gone a long way. It was here a few weeks back and it was very interesting to read of the unique ways some people carried the torch. One guy on the west coast of the island apparently surfed with the torch. He said he had a lot of practice beforehand having his wife toss their baby to him while surfing. Yikes! Another carried it while skate boarding. He practiced carrying it by using a hockey stick before the olympic committee gave him replica torch to use. Our town is hosting 7 different country's olympiads who will be here to practice their skills on our local ski hill before they hop over to the mainland for the games. With all the snow we got last night, it should be a good time for everyone.

Great pics. Especially like the one with the warthog and kudu?

Mmmm pheasant... my all time favorite thing to eat!

Very cool pics. You captured a bit of everything.:cool2:

His family and friends are in our prayers tonight.

Happy Birthday neighbour!! Hope you're enjoying it.

It looks like that poor dog has eye infections (apart from some other obvious problems) and if his tongue hangs out like that all the time, he's gotta be suffering. Poor, sad thing.

Beautiful shots. That second one looks like an ivory carved bird. :cool2:

Glass of water. Take continuous small sips until the hiccups stop. Works for me every time.

We're very sorry for your loss. We will keep you all in our prayers.

No they weren't. Thanks!

We got 2 pushers in the women's room!

:rockon:

Ouch. I hope they pass as painlessly as possible. I hear that once they're out it's a fairly quick recovery, so don't cancel that hunting this weekend. Good luck!

Hearing people chew with their mouths open. Yuk Spitting. Double Yuk!

Nice. Are they gingerbread? Makes me wanna bake some.
