I'm not sure. One of my hammie friends just had babies today. I did not want to clean her cage until a few days have passed, so I do not have an accurate count, perhaps five or six. Then another of my hammie friends has squeaking coming from her cage and that can only mean there are babies in there. Yeah!!! Christmas hammies!! Other than that... I have been riding my bike, studying a little (when I should be studying a lot) and listening to the rain. How about life in your neck of the woods? So you just have many more hammies now. Like you didn't have enough. XD Sounds like fun! Not studying and enjoying what's around you. ^.^ Life here is alright. I went to the mall with some friends today. Really, Julian and I mostly hung out together because my friends are just so crazy ans spazzy, sometimes they get a little too out of hand. We saw The Nightmare Before Christmas 3D. It was alright. Only two fully 3D scenes, though, so it wasn't amazing or anything. And the jack-o-lantern-in-the-box before the actual showing proved that it could have been better. XD However, as seen in the original, it's a good movie anyways so it was all good. Sounds like a great weekend. I don't do scary movies. As for the hammies, a friend and her eight babies left for the pet store on last Tuesday. These new babies are in time for after Christmas. The local pet store does not sell the babies before Christmas, just the cages and other stuff, then they have the parents pick up the new hammie after the holiday. So young children will have their adorable little hamsters, and will soon find out that some of them are biters. =D The difference between the babies I raise and those of others, is that my babies are handled from about the beginning of the second week, unless I have to clean the cage, then it is earlier. But I work very hard to make sure all the hammies babies are sweet and gentle. Sometimes, hammies are given to children who are much too young and the parent does not stay involved. We try and teach the parents to have their children wake the hamster before sticking their hands in the cage. Two of my rescues were "biters". Interesting, the black bear male is older and when you pick him up, he will kiss you. He is one of the sweetest hamsters I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. The other is a brown/black female and she is also a very, very sweet hammie. She is the one who just had babies today.

You continue to amaze me! How multi-talented you are.

Unfortunately the HampsterDance game went away with the last board update. But there is one game on the home page and there should be some more coming. *~*The Grand Illusion*~*teh final Cut*~* Will it ever return? It sounds fun. *~*The Psychedelic luau*~*The astronomy Domine*~* I will have to ask HampsterKing. Good question! Thank you for reminding me. Awfully old topic, but... that Hampsterdance Game rocked. It was a great incentive to post. I asked, but he has not replied. Let me ask again. Way back in '06. XD He's an old guy, and really, really slow. Like a tortoise. A really old and dehydrated tortoise. XD With one foot in the grave. Slowly but surely answering. Very slowly. XD I was thinking of spiking his morning coffee with mountain dew and lots of corn syrup.

For LDS people, Families are very important. Family does include our ancesters, and as part of unifying a family, our church has genealogy work done. And you trace your ancestry all the way back to... ? As far as you can get it. Anything before the 1850's is generally hard to get, being far back enough and lacking sufficient records of names and the like. But with much effort, My dad has been able to trace one line back 17 generations; dating to roughly the 1300's. =D WOW!!! That's amazing. How cool that your father was able to go back so far.

Unfortunately, things seem to appear as though life is rejecting you, but in reality, it is all part of the learning process until you realize where you are in the pecking order.

Just ask and it will happen.

Arkcher... I have a question for you. What do you think is the purpose of the genealogy project the LDS is conducting? I am interested in hearing your thoughts on this. Thank you.

[This is terrific, thank you for continuing!]

I believe that you will only have a few true friends in your life. My sort of definition will come later. In the meantime, it is so nice to see you again.

If your fiance changed his religious beliefs before you are married, and you feel this is okay for him and your relationship, then I see no problem with staying together. As far as him admiring or not admiring you, I would ignore this comment. Perhaps he does not want to feel guilty about wanting you to stay with him although he has chosen not to remain a christian. There are lots and lots of inter-faith marriages that work very, very well. To me, this is not a reason to break-up. The bottom line is, how do you feel about his choice and are you okay with this. Remember, he can always return to being a christian.

I've missed you! These are terrific!!! Thank you for posting.

Very good. Very, very good!

Actually I have been learning an enormous amount. I will post a nutshell version if you would like. Please do! Hamsters need things to do. So, I would be asking how many things there are in her cage. Does she have lots and lots of things to entertain her? How does he feed her? For example, my hammie friends have corn cobbies, lava triangles, apple wood sticks, popcorn sticks, loofah chews, and a bunch of other food things to keep them entertained. Of the ones mentioned, they each have at least two of each item. Then there are lots of other things for them to do and I rotate the items. I have lots and lots of tubes, a maze, various areas to hide-out, a sleeping triangle, a paper climbing thingy, stuff in the cage to play with such as wheel, other climby things and many chew items. Every night, all the hammies get out and run in the ball with all the other hammies. When they get back into their cage, they have a healthy treat placed on top of their always full food bowl. Raw peanuts and sunflower seeds, are treats that they have to work at to get to the good stuff. I always try and keep them interested and entertained. Of course these hammies rule and the second I put them back into their cage, they head straight for their bowls. Another reason for the hammie to gain weight. As a female, she is storing food to prepare herself for when she has babies. In the wild, this is the action she would be taking prior to having babies. I would actually have to see a picture to know exactly how obese she really is. For example, I had a female who was over 200 grams. She was really big, but this was in the prime of her hammie bearing life. As she gets older, she is losing weight. I see. I wonder if Arkcher forgot about this. XD Probably.

Absolutely! Ian will be in our thoughts, hearts and prayers. Thanks. He was apparently on facebook today and updated his status, so that's a good sign, but when I just tried to call him he hit what my friends call "the F___ you button" (the ignore button). So I guess he's busy. I guess that let's you know where you stand.

Absolutely! Ian will be in our thoughts, hearts and prayers.

As far as I am concerned, you can always change the subject as long as you show up! What's been going on? I will let someone else fill you in.

I really love the picture in your siggy! I took it at an air show with my phone. that little silver dot at the bottom... yeha theats one of the planes Outstanding!!!!!! *gives Kay The Blue Moon Award for the outstanding picture* I was wondering what that little dot was. Thanks for letting me know. thank you and you're welcome. Would you please make a post in my topic and let me place your picture in the post? The best friend of Horatio.... that one??? oh well that's where I'm putting it. Perfect! You did great! Thanks again.

So... have you asked for a car for Christmas? *sends Jesusfreak all the dirty hammie laundry* Hahaha Nah, but there's a good chance I'll get an extended battery for my comp for Christmas. Although my mom is thinking about trading in the van and getting two small cars, one of which will likely be mine. The only issue is finding a way to pay for the gas and insurance, and I have no job, partly because I have no car, which is because I can't afford it, because I don't have a job, because I don't have a car.... And if Phil wants to see you, then he can pay for your gas to visit, but that still leaves the insurance. You could always say you needed the car for those classes that you are assisting in for your degree. How does that sound? I'm pretty good at coming up with good reasons for why you need something.

That is the life of a hamster. I was mutated at birth That's cool. Mutated into what? LOL half hamster half human. lol Now that is something I would like to see a picture of. LOL ... hehe me too. I think my parents did "reverse mutation" so now I look like a human but have the personality of a hamster. Leave it to parents to do the "reverse mutation process"! LOL I guess they did not want to face years of eating nuts and seeds. Oh what loving parents... Exactly! I'm mad at my parents right now... well only my mom because my dad doesn't think she's being fair. *is confused* Your mother is not being fair about... what? she won't let me go to the haunted feild across a highschool in my cousin's school district for reasons left unknown. she was just like no you can't do anything tonight when i asked her why she said because I said so and then I lughed because that made me think of the movie "because I said so" and then she got mad :[ I can't control my laughter I have to agree with you on this. It would help you understand her decision, if your mother would give you a reason for not letting you go. I'm sorry that you can't go to the haunted field.
