This was Strawberry: 2000-2003
Here is our well-loved friend Strawberry Q. Hamster:
She got sick yesterday and passed away about 2:00AM Eastern time in my wife's arms.
Here are some more pictures from this Summer - please scroll through and notice how beautiful she is / was
http://www.provider1.com/hammyoutside/index.html
I think we kept the house too cold - don't do that friends - keep your rodents warm.
We appreciate prayers for Strawberry and every living thing that passed and passes on.
Thanks,
Petecart
Well imo 3 years is about how long a hamster/mouse is likley to live anyway.
Also, the best(Cheapest) way to keep a rodent warm is to have more than one rodent...
Wow, what a sweet little thing. That is sad, I know. Our son's hamster (Angel...whom we later found out to be Angelino...) developed thyroid cancer, if you can believe that! We had to have him put down. My dc have really had a hard time with that. I know Strawberry will be missed.
Good Call My Friend - rodent heated by rodent - I like it.
Thanks.
I used to have pet mice for about 4 years.
The only thing that sucked about them is that once they matured they very rarley came out to play during the day. The young ones are fun though.
Imagine 5 mice trying to run in an excercise wheel in different directions...ther 3 or 4 eventualy overpower the other 2 or 1 and they end up getting spun around the other way. One of the funniest things I ever saw.
That is a very funny image - the mice all running aboot in different directions - it cheered me up to think about it and for that I thank you a lot.
It's weird to be a meat-eating, Scarface quoting man who sits at his desk at work crying about a little hammy - but I don't care.
Here's one more nice photo.
perhaps twizzlers weren't the best dietary choice?
very cute though - RIP Strawberry
Couldn't bear the thought of another Vermont winter I guess.
Twizzlers are only for goats!
I thought aluminum cans were for goats and twizzlers were for fishes.

Aw, how adorable! Poor thing. :( Sorry to hear of your loss, especially to such a cute little fuzzy.
[COLOR=indigo]Isn't it amazing that we have such an amazing capacity for love and hate?[/COLOR]
I just wanted to point out that CPR is much more successful when you stick to the AHA guidelines instead of performing compressions on the back.
Sorry sorry sorry - couldn't help it

Hate? We don't got no hate. We don't need no stinkin' hate!:)
[COLOR=seagreen]Pete, Sorry to hear about Miss Strawberry. She is so cute, I love her little white paws. May she rest in peace.[/COLOR]
1. If you want to post in a color, use black. It is an extremely nice color. If you have to tell yourself that its some color other than black, try out "Deep Charcoal Grey" or "Ebony Velvet."
2. You are not STILL playing MTG? That is SOOOOO prior millenium.

[COLOR=seagreen]I don't see anything wrong with sea-green. OC already uses purple, my favorite color, so I'm using green, my second favorite color. You got a problem with green? Just trying to brighten up the place. [/COLOR]
2. You are not STILL playing MTG? That is SOOOOO prior millenium.
[COLOR=seagreen]Yeah, I'm a kick-ass MTG duelist. While you must be spending your free time at the asylum trying to master Yu-Gi-Oh and Neopets.[/COLOR] :worried:
MTG was cool...now it's lame.
Especialy online...
It's too comercialized. They're poping out insane cards like crazy in order to make old decks obsolete.
It's like every release they create a new killer strategy along with 500 cards that defeat the killer strategy from the older releases.
Rinse & Repeat
[COLOR=seagreen]In your best Gollum voice....."Yes, but Precious love MTG".[/COLOR]
[COLOR=seagreen]Actually, FNF I agree. I don't know shit about MGT except that it's a stupid card game. All those dumb games are stupid. I was just shocked, not really:rolleyes: , that after all this time Wolf still hates me even though I never did shit to her. My friend told me what to write. :p
Peace out:joint:
PS...UT, I love the new smilies:joylove:[/color]

Your ignorance is baffling.
So let me get this straight.
You know nothing about MTG except you somehow assume that it's a stupid card game.
How ignorant is that? How about this. I know nothing about you, except that your a retard. I had my doubts. They're gone.
But you go on and you say that "All those dumb games are stupid."
What's that supposed to mean?
That all dumb games are stupid? Well yeah dumb does kinda equal stupid, so if a game is dumb it might also be said to be stupid.
Or are you trying to say that all card games are dumb and thus stupid?
I'm confused...
[COLOR=seagreen]Baffling ignorance is the best kind of ignorance, it keeps the unignorant, such as yourself, busy for hours trying to figure it out. It's amazing how the "highly intelligent" can be confused so easily.
What I know about MTG is that it is stupid.
BTW, give up the "retard" thing it's been way over used around here.[/COLOR]
Haveing never met you before, I can now see why nobody wanted you to return.

[COLOR=seagreen]So, in your short time here you have designated yourself as the mouthpiece for the group. How nice for you. Been spelling long?[/COLOR] :p
I find it odd that you choose to attack me based on a typo.
Maybe I shouldn't have ignored your idiotic misspelling of MTG as MGT. Yet I figured a minor typo was not something to judge a person by. I suppose you're too stupid to realize that.
While there maybe a few people who want you back, I found more that didn't. Don't get yourself flattered, I just wanted to know who this "retarded LUVBUGZ" was, the one that was so kindly asked to consume fesses and cease to metabolize...
If memory serves me right the one person who did expect/want you back was OnyxCougar.

[COLOR=seagreen]I find it "odd" that you choose to "attack" me at all since you don't know shit about me.
MTG, MGT, MSG....it's all the same in my book.
Give up trying to be the next Dave, you suck at it.[/COLOR] :p
I have no interest in being the next dave.
I chose to attack you because of your ignorance.
I had no prejudice towards you. In fact I was intrigued by your claim that you were a good MTG dueler.
Nothing gets me as upset as ignorance; to me nothing is worse than somebody who is in fact proud of being ignorant.
You are either proud of being ignorant or you are a troll as "Baffling ignorance is the best kind of ignorance, it keeps the unignorant, such as yourself, busy for hours trying to figure it out." might suggest.
Either way, your kind of personality offends me. Nothing is worse than a person who casts judgments and then proclaims them about a subject that they're totally in the dark about.
Oh and by the way, 'unignorant' is not a word, the proper would be "informed", "knowledgeable" or "educated". I suppose those three words are very much new to you.
You're reducing the contrast between the your words and the background, making them harder to read.
It annoys me that OnyxCougar does it, too. I just highlight her posts with my mouse to negate the coloring.
When you buy a novel, is the background grey and the type purple or green? No! Think about it -- there's a reason for that. It's called contrast.
[COLOR=seagreen]I've been keeping you busy for the last two hours though, retread. :p
Can't count either I take it....only three green options available, dumb-ass.[/color]:rolleyes:

It's damn near unreadable.
OC, as I understand, actually speaks purple, and therefore is permitted such usage by concensus here.
It would appear that the concensus regarding your use of seagreen or as you won't recall blue58's attempt to use blue, is that this is not cool.
I am admittedly old and unhip. I do not play Yu-Gi-Oh or Neopets, and actually have no clue what either entails. I do announce with pride, however, that I have entered the Pokemon League Hall of Fame by beating the Elite Four (and Gary) on the Indigo Plateau in Pokemon Blue.
Oh, and don't flatter yourself. I don't hate you. You don't deserve that energy.
I am of the strong opinion that the colors should be taken away. I guess that's probably not a vBulletin option, though.
[COLOR=green]green 1[/COLOR]
[COLOR=limegreen]green 2[/COLOR]

[COLOR=seagreen]Sorry for my lack of contrast. Not to worry, my joy of green posts will fade eventually, it's a pain in the ass actually. Hey, congrats on the kid, as far as booger eaters go, she's cute.:)[/COLOR]
[COLOR=silver]I am so fucking cool and elite, with my silver text coloring. R0x0r, d00d3z!!!!!![/COLOR]
Oh and LUVBUGZ, please don't flatter yourself thinking that you've kept me busy for 2 hours.
While it may take you 2 hours to respond to a post, I assure you that I have not spent more than 3 minutes on each response to you.
I'm sorry to say but you wasted not much more than 20 minutes of my life if that.

dictionary.com tells us that teal is
1. Any of several small, short-necked freshwater ducks, especially of the genus Anas, that feed on the surface of the water and often have brightly marked plumage.
2. A moderate or dark bluish green to greenish blue.
It's green.
Teal is a variant of green.
As is "sea green" and "lime green"
teal
n 1: a shade of green tinged with blue [syn: bluish green] 2: any of various small short-necked dabbling river ducks of Europe and America

Would you like to stick that foot farther down your throat?
"If" teal were a "variant of green", following the Cellar's color options line of labeling greens, it would be called "teal green".
Teal is labeled as teal.
The "description" of teal, for those who aren't familiar with the color, is bluish green to greenish blue as Wolf has so graciously pointed out (with supporting proof).
According to your line of thought, teal could just as easily be a "variant of blue".:rolleyes:

I never realized that the color naming scheme used on a forum can be used to define colors. Will you also argue that [COLOR=silver]silver[/COLOR] is not a shade of gray?
Teal is a shade of green. Teal is a shade of blue. In fact all the variants you listed are some shade of green and another color.
BUT since green is a the primary pigment in teal, teal is in fact a shade of green.
Oh and yes, teal can be seen as a variant of blue. As can Sea-green. But that’s not according to me but the accepted standards of primary pigments and color schemes. You did take an art class in school right? I suppose the real question is, “Did you learn anything in the art class you took in school?”.
When you really get down to it, EVERY color in the world can be described as either a variant of red, green and blue or cyan, magenta, yellow, (black). That’s the two variants of the 'primary pigments', commonly referred to a RGB and CMY(K). Oh and K is black and is in () because it's not exactly needed as a pigment but used in printing as a primary pigment to use less ink.
Of course you don't know this..because you're ignorant.
Sigh, where to start....
Sorry for your loss Pete. Pets can become very much a part of your life and really throw things out of whack when they are gone.
Ok, for the rest of it. Wolf, Juju, wtf? You guys know that a special thread was made in Cellar area to deal with Bugz. Specificaly to prevent this type of thread pollution. Yes, I know the real concern was keeping it out of IOTD threads, as that is all a lot of lurkers view. Still, a guy comes on to talk about the death of his pet and we get a long list of posts of the usual Bugz problems? Move it over people.
For the new guys, I suggest you go back and read that thread. Might give you an idea of what dealing with Bugz is going to be like.
Whit, no offense but the guy who originally posted the cute although now dead hamster hasn't shown his face for the past 4 days.
If he or the now dead hamster is upset about this 'post pollution' I'm certain that they can speak for themselves...well maybe not the hamster.
It's really not about that, FNF. You see, this tends to be the way of almost any thread Bugz posts in. Thus it's best to ignore her in the thread and deal with her seperately, in a thread made for it. Otherwise it gets the mess everywhere. That's all.
Shhhh Whit, she'll claim you're attacking her again.
Need my Kevlar?
Fine I'll just ignore the ignorant ‘sea green’ abomination. There is no hope of any intelligent thoughts being produced by her during a discussion anyway.
Nah, Dagney, I declared peace because I hated wasting what little free time I had on this kind of crap. I intend to maintain it.
FNF, that's cool. Good luck with that. You've got to figure though, if someone as mellow as Juju is ready to attack... Nah, the best I'll ask for is moving it off the main boards so we can actually continue whatever discussion is at hand.
Tis about how I feel Whit - too many important things in life to worry about - I don't stress about what color someone uses to post to a message board. And if it annoys me, I just don't read it.
(I tend to skip a LOT of posts some days)
Something unusual is in the air the past few weeks. Too much bickering, infighting, and anger floating around for my comfort.
Sounds about time to head to Tahiti with a mai tai and a good book. (I think I need to take Brian with me *G*)
Dagney
Hello Folks,
No I have not posted for four days - but I am reading.
I'll get flamed for saying this but text colors in this forum don't bother me much - if I really need to read it then a drag of the mouse across the text generally makes it readable.
Don't think that because I don't post does not mean that I am not reading.
Thank you Luvbugs and Whit for chiming in nicely. We appreciate your kind words.
Now it's dark.

Class act, Petecart. Very class act.:beer:
Besides, colored fonts make it somewhat easy to readily determine which posts one might want to focus on ...or not.

No upkeep. he just grabs what wanders by.
The Yu-Gi-Oh manga is better. That's comic book stuff for you unedjumakted types. Turns out there's a lot of death in early Yu-Gi-Oh. In fact, the first season never came to the US. There are some bloody scenes. Gator like creatures chomping off heads... snatching coins from in front of angry scorpions... really dangerous games like that. You really have no idea what a bastard Kaiba is just watching the english anime. The manga is carried in Shonen Jump which you can probably order at your local magazine/comic shop.
http://www.shonenjump.com Check it out. You'll find a lot of the Cartoon Network anime stuff is from there. Of course this is the Japanese story, not edited for the kiddies.

Wow, so Kaiba is *really* evil huh? See, I'm not "into" anime that deep. I'm what I call a "surface watcher", meaning I just basically think the animation is pretty cool. :D

Pete,
I must agree w/ Bruce, you are a Class Act. :) Thanking me for my condolences to the dearly departed Miss Strawberry without joining in the flamefest. I viewed her other pics you linked to and must say again she was a real cutie. I am sorry for the unintended hijacking of her thread. If you notice I made one post referring to this thread and out of nowhere there's Wolf and FNF jumping on my ass for no good reason. This is quite a common occurrence in the Cellar
Then as more posts are made others feel compelled to jump on the band wagon, ie. Dagney, Whit, and Juju. You may also note that I gave Juju a compliment on his new baby which was completely ignored and he continued to flame me for my "free choice" to use sea-green text.
You may also note that Whit, while he doesn't care for me, but won't admit that, has made his peace with me and has chosen not to join in such flame sessions in threads not specifically designated for such activity. For this I respect him.
Oh, and thanks for not obsessively overreacting to my choice of text color. Once again the friendly Cellarites have so graciously pointed out that it's NOT a free country after all.
And again, I thank you.
I love The Cellar.
