ThatCyndiGirl Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 That's sweet. Our amardillos tend to nap in the middle of the road. :lol: A few years ago we had a dead one (fully intact) in front of our house. I tried to get ds to get it for a nature study. He declined. They carry leprosy, dontcha' know. I wouldn't touch one of them with YOUR hand! Mrs. Mungo...I must be confused. I thought that you've been in Oklahoma all this time! (yes, I would love to meet up for an Omniplex day! We are buying an annual family pass for $3 this week! Woohoo!) Ohyeah....and cookies and curry!

I'm feeling pretty advanced just having an iPod, lol. My brother makes fun of me because I have the dinosaur of iPods while he gets the latest iPhone delivered to his house the day it comes out. I do *really* use my iPod a lot, but I am so gun-shy about spending money; even the iPod I bought used from a friend who bought it new but never used it (sacrilege!), so got it for half price. As much as I use it I really should consider an upgrade; but an iPhone just seems completely out of reach... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatCyndiGirl Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Official Public Retraction/Apology to Armadillos Everywhere I just asked dh (in order to confirm the knowledge that I earlier bestowed on readers of this thread), "It's leprosy that armadillos carry, right?"

It coordinates itself with Outlook, so I can keep track of all the things I'm supposed to do (in theory, as long as I remember to put them in). It has a gps and map function. I can send and receive emails. I can read and post on the board (not long posts, that's too hard). I don't know if I could live without it now that I have it!

Slartibartfast Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 4. Do armadillos carry diseases, such as leprosy? Wild armadillos have been known to be infected with the bacterium that causes leprosy (Hansen’s disease). The only cases of transmission from armadillos to humans have occurred in rare incidents in which people ate undercooked armadillo meat. If you have a pet (such as a dog, cat, or two-year old) that has recently interacted with an armadillo, you needn't worry about the danger of your pet becoming infected. So long as your dog, cat, or two-year old hasn't been dining on armadillo sushi, you have little cause for concern. Even if your pet does bite an armadillo, the risk of infection is quite low. Your pet is much more likely to be in danger of illness do to encounters with raccoons (prone to rabies), other dogs, cats or children than a (mostly) harmless armadillo. :lol: https://www.msu.edu/~nixonjos/armadillo/faq.html#04 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slartibartfast Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 11. Where can I buy an armadillo (Live or dead, for food or otherwise)? I know of no company or restaurant that sells live armadillos. I have heard that some shops in San Francisco’s Chinatown sell dead armadillos for food.

Then a few posts down another, more popular member (Gee, it's like high school all over again!) says, "ya know what? I have always found kitty cats to be so DARN CUTE AND CUDDLY!" and all you hear is the sound of everyone agreeing with said poster, "OMG!!! Isn't she just so stinkin' ASTUTE?!

Slartibartfast Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 The term "cat's pajamas" comes from E.B. Katz, an English tailor of the late 1700's and early 1800's, who made the finest silk pajamas for royalty and other wealth patrons. Nothing like a cat nap in Kat'z pjs. (from the book, "Cats out of the Bag" compiled by Terry, Don and Ken Beck); Read more: What is the meaning and origin of the phrase "The Cat's Pajamas"? | Answerbag http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/138325#ixzz0tRCtqbKi but it is the interwebz and may be something someone made up :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThatCyndiGirl Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 I must be really tired because all I can think of now is: 1) Can I knit a chubby "fat-stickin'-outta'-my-armour" armadillo? and... 2) Can I knit a pair of cats in pajamas. I'm thinking a female cat in a lovely little chemise and her partner a male in pajama pants with matching smoking jacket and ascot. Perhaps a pipe in his paw.....
