It is with the deepest regret that I announce that my littlest >friend, my dear hamster, Thurston, has gone to hammy heaven. I >converted a hair dye box into a little hammy coffin and laid him in it and covered >him with woolly hammy bedding and buried him under the rosemary >bush in the back garden. And shed a little tear. I have such happy >memories of him rolling around a home-made hammy assault course in his plastic >ball and if I shut my eyes I can still feel him crawling up my arm, over my >shoulder and down the back of my cardigan. I'll leave a decent period of mourning >(two weeks) and then go out and buy Thurston II.

I completely forget who just posted this, but my condolences on your loss. Happy news is that Rosemary is suppose to symbolise rememberence so you may have years to come of lovely Thurston thoughts! I do think Thurston may be a unlucky pet name though, as once I had a Thurston kitty and I went out, with my window and door locked, and when I returned he had vanished for good, sponateous combustion I suppose because their was no trace of my beloved. So sad. Such a lovely name, such a lovely kitty! um, now I am saddened. Okay no B&S content at all, but I am listening to Beautiful so that does count right? Last week I was informed that this should be my theme song, which was quite flattering for two seconds, until I remembered the mental, tempermental bit, not to mention the part where they let her go blind! "Not that part just the beautiful part!" i was told, but then they retracted that and said they were joking! But that is the smallest part of the song really isn't it? Oh life is cruel! I am developing a tempermental complex thouh especially since someone last week was on about how they were feeling disturbed or something,( Not at all these word, but I have no memory!) And then they said they should take up yoga, or maybe not take it up but something about Yoga, which made me all paranoid that I am deeply disturbed , because my greatest love is Yoga, there I have confused! It all began just after Thurston really, so hamster griever beware! Um, I hate to ask but what is going on with the North American tape tree??? Okay well Happy thoughts for everyone! I am off to love my sticky mat! +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
