Their excuse for not tranquilizing the cougar was that they don't have the expertise and that they might hit a bone instead....that's lame. Poor thing. Martarano said tranquilizing a cougar requires such specialized knowledge that California runs training sessions on the technique for biologists and wildlife wardens. "It’s hard to get close enough to get the dart in the right area," said Martarano, who said the darts have no effect if they hit a bone. "It takes a while for the drugs to take effect, and during that period the animal can get agitated. If a lot of people are around, that can cause problems in itself." if it was hiding under a patio, it should have been ok. anyway, I kind of understand why they had to do what they had to do. Being in the Recreation/Fish/Wildlife program, I understand why they have to cull "problem" animals...but lost ones? Poor thing. I know they were concerned about the people, that an animal loose in a city would be confused, and possibly be aggressive. It still makes me sad. On another note, they were talking about how they did a necropsy on the cougar...we did a necropsy here at school on 2 cougars and a bear last week, which was...although gross...still amazing Can't say as I've ever seen the innards of a cougar or a bear before!

Hello Oldlings! it's 10:22 am and I have my 3rd of 4 final exams this afternoon, and then I'll be DONE for the year!!! Now I just need to find a job! How are you all?

yah so we're chitchatting on http://gabbly.com/www.mikafanclub.com heh heh so mezmerising

some people still don't have MFC up, it's working for me now, but Kary from columbia can't get onto the MFC. So it seems that it's picky as to who can access it today

Oh man...note to self...even if there are pretty boys around....do not drink 3 bottles of wine the night before a final exam...oh my aching head...LOL

Who is this Beckham guy anyway?

He makes me smile without even paying him! YAY MIKA!

I hope so! LOL I know *I* do!!

I hope it will be fabulous! Oh that's very good information to know!! Thank you for that, I will talk to my friend and see how we should proceed from Panama then! i'm very exicted

yah, poor MIKA is being corrupted by the MFC!! LOL

hihihi! thats WAYYYY too young, that's barely puberty !! Wow.

hi Mama!

ai yi yi!! that would be a bad day to pop in!!

it's different from province to province. I think it's 14 in bc...which is CRAZY if you ask me.

No kidding, eh? I wonder how many of the oldlings know about this thread, they'll be over here in a flash! LOL

I just sat one! do I need to re-sharpen my pencil? LOL

Oh man. I Love MIKA but I don't think that he should do underwear ads, it would just make things so much worse with the fanatics out there. Besides, I think he has too much style to do underwear. Unless maybe they were glitter undies!

yep, finals start tomorrow, so been studying, sort of. been feeilng down today for some reason, don't know why, maybe just lonely up here at school.

So my friend and I have planned a trip for November 2009, we're going to go to South America. We're giong to touch down in Panama, then train or bus down to Columbia, visit some friends there, go to Peru, down to Chile, and then over to Argentina. I'm going to learn Spanish so I can talk to people down there, and going to do 2 summers of work to save money for it. I really hope we can actually do it! I have my passport now, so I can officially travel the world....so I REALLY want to!!! Can't wait!

Ah yes thank you for the clarification *hugs* Well I think my gin addled head is going to go to bed. It's 5am here, and the sun will rise soon, so I should sleep. thank you for listening Goodnight my sweet Mikafriends

ooh talk more!!! i'm 32 away from 1000!!!

Oh i would not throw myself at his feet. That's just silly I take what I can get, and at the very least I get a good friend out of it all ! Yar, I am pretty sure it's not meant to be romantically, but I have a new friend at the least! Nay I shall not turn away simply because his romantic interests do not lay in me. That would be shallow of me. I would lose the opportunity to have a really wonderful person to count amongst my friends. We share a passion for music, which I think is something that can stretch beyond simple romantic attraction and can build something universal and beautiful that could be beyond what any romantic relationship could ever be

I wish it was mutual, but I do not believe it is. But we are friends, which is better than nothing at all. I can get hugs from him, and we drink together, and play music together. So it's good Maybe with time he will learn to appreciate me more, but who knows. Better to not have expectations He has awakened my passion for improvised music, jam sessions, and given me the courage to raise my voice and add to the mix. He encourages me, brings me into the circles and asks me to sing, plays things that i can accompany him and the others, and is generally just amazing. Definately a crush, but his romantic interests lay with the beautiful 19-23 year old hot college girls, not this big, 34 year old not so beautiful (on the outside) girlchild Who knows. Stranger things have happened, but he danced with me differently than he did with the other girls, with whom he danced all sexy and hot like, Salsa dancing. He didn't salsa with me

He's not the most cute boy in the world, but his energy is amazing. It pours out of him like water, and he's an absolute joy to be around It was an amazing party I think I have big crushes on all the latin boys at school there are 4 of them, and they're all sweet as pie!

absolutely YES!!!
