Guest guest Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Hi That sounds like fun. You could post the pictures on our Photos section. I believe you forward them to the list owner and he will include them.

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 400 zombies! That sounds like fun too. Have you see Shaun of the Dead? It must be really weird to have someone dress up as you. One concert we went to a few years ago was very interesting. Most of the audience came as vampires, and the cloakroom was literally a cloakroom. Jo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 That happened with the costume masquerade ball I ran in March this year. The theme was "Dark Fantasy" and there were so many amazing costumes, and pretty much every person had a cloak. We had a huge rail of them, all lovely velvet and satin and spiderweb lace Opalline One concert we went to a few years ago was very interesting.

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 That sounds lovely. I do like velvet.

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Ah, thanks Jo!! I'll do that with the doggy costume pics!! Lots easier than sending it over and over to people that want to see. Not that I mind <vbg>. I love my babies and will happily share pictures and information and stories. Which actually brings me to a question for all of you. Does anyone have any suggestions for keeping squirrels out of the yard? We have a woodlot behind us and a nice, open easement next to us and they are getting kind of crazy lately. They normally run out of the yard when I bang around and make noise to alert them that I'm letting the dogs out. But lately, they'll run up the tree then come RIGHT back down with the dogs out there. I've had some that have been up on the privacy fence and been running back and forth trying to get away from Gracie while she leaps and jumps and tries to grab them. I've had to run out there countless times lately to grab her and drag her back inside to give the squirrel a chance to run away. I may be vegan, but Gracie and Jeanie are not and as sighthounds, their instinct is to catch the little guys. They're good girls and they do listen but not when it comes to critters. So, if anyone has suggestions, I'd love to hear them. I don't want to have to have squirrel funerals if I can avoid it.
