Congratulations on the new ferret. He's a cutie!

And I'm LOLing @ your theory on why $60 helmets provide more protection.

Thanks! But nothing makes your old ferret look like a grumpy, broken-down grandpa than a little baby that literally runs circles around him.

:) I think it's a valid theory!

Aww, they're little Yin Yang weasels.

I like how when I read, "I found an $80 [helmet] online", I knew that the next words weren't going to be, "so I bought it." And when you thought "$60 helmet!", I thought you meant you were going to get your money's worth out of it and dive headlong into the ground. My brain's dumb. It'd be like if I had just bought a bullet proof vest and was focused on catching the bullets with my chest instead of just dodging them.

Haha, no way would I spend that much on a helmet. Unless it somehow magically made me look more like Lance Armstrong and less like a frumpy middle-aged chick fighting to lose her winter fat, and even then I'd hold out for a cheaper price online.

You've given me the most comical picture of you throwing your body wildly around trying to catch bullets. You look quite, quite silly. :)

Simon's adorable. And, thinking ahead, a River Tam would have to be a dark ferret.

FOR GOD'S SAKE DON'T GAMBLE WITH YOUR BRAIN CASE. SELL A KIDNEY AND BUY A $500 HELMET.

I've crossed-reference my memory of Don't Be Afraid of the Dark with my father, who also recently watched it on Netflix, and he had this to say: "That movie sucked. I should have known it wouldn't be any good when it showed up on Netflix so early. What a waste of time." Of course that's cleaned up a bit - when my father speaks, I get the feeling he is verbally punctuating the same way he does on Facebook.

Thanks :) (as if I had any say in his appearance) Yep, dark and female, and as I've said we'll never have a girl ferret again.

I WON'T. I made a comment to MyFriendDeb (an otherwise intelligent and sensible person) about the large number of people I see in the park without helmets. To my surprise, she said "I'm with them. I hate helmets." I said, "You'd hate being in a coma more." Her issue is with what helmets do to her hair. Let me tell you, Deb is no fashion plate (she has cut her own hair for as long as I've known her, so you can imagine by now she has all the style of Oliver Twist). So for her to worry about helmet hair is pretty funny.

Having been subjected to your father's comments on FB, I can only imagine. My full review is finally up. See if you can add to the snark.

It wasn't your compliment, anyway, conceited. Pass it on. Lol you said you weren't getting a boy ferret either. Tery's got a thing for symmetry.

Don't take this the wrong way. Is there any chance, any small chance at all, that FriendDeb is a friendly alien sent to Earth to learn our ways but just not quite getting them?

Turns out, I can't beat your snark. You're the snarkiest.

Pass it on to who, Simon? Done.

Ha, have not investigated that possibility, though it certainly could explain a lot of things. I mean, I thought I was socially awkward, but srsly. I think she might have been reasonably normal at one time, but years of living alone with a tiny percentage of the human interaction I enjoy have taken their toll.

FTW!
