Programmable nano-bot antibodies you can configure via wireless from specs downloadable from the CDC website. REAL anti-virus protection.

Someone should get on that.

Doberman's are great dogs- make great family pets.
Our's is really a wonderful dog. Good natured, caring, loyal, and smart. I've never had a dog before, so what I'm seeing in her is typical of an energetic puppy. I just had no idea what that meant until now :?

How does your collie get along with the basset? Does she understand that the basset has a problem?

To be honest, she is now 90% more calm than she was only 8 months ago. In her first 2 months at home, I really wasn't sure that she'd be able to stay. I really....REALLY...didn't understand what it meant when I read that Dobermans are an energetic breed.

Some of the problems, I now come to realize, was just me not knowing how to deal with dogs. I finally got Human down fairly well after 25 years, now I have to learn Dog. :?

Sounds bad, Lisa. Get lots of rest. Oh, and did I mention a nice single malt scotch? I can make some recommendations if you wish. :D

We're really not that far away from just this. We're on the verge of an amazing era of nanotechnology.

Boy, I really hope that this is just a sculpture and not his real hand dipped in some metal material.

So after decades of listening and seeing him play, I had no idea that he didn't have one of his fingers. Little known fact? Or me living under a rock?

We are just neck-to-neck and back-and-forth with these guys. It will be close right to the end, I'm guessing.

Why I row: among other things that I like to eat- and that my daughter enjoys to make- she is a chef in real life:

Regarding my dogs: although Muriel ( the collie) is intelligent and intuitive, I dont think she perceives that Rhubarb ( the Basset Hound) is deaf.
In terms of intelligence, Collies and Bassets are at opposite ends of the spectrum. Rhubarb is a scent hound, and tends to walk slowly. Muriel is a herding dog and tends to lead from the front. They interact and certainly are a " pack", but aside from playing together in the house, they act completely independent of each other.

Regarding Garcia's middle finger: His older brother cut the finger off in a childhood mishap.

All I can say is, Oh My!!! Those look so amazingly good. Where does your daughter work. I'm making reservations. :)
