Syrin of Neopia Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 Yum! Cake! *gobbles it happily* I exercised this morning, so I guess I can afford some cake. & I can't have a pet IRL either, at least not right now. My husband & I are still in college & even though he makes a good amount, a pet's just not in the cards right now (plus he has a mild cat allergy & I adore cats :sad02: ) But for now, I'll just love my Neopets as though they were IRL pets & I can't get a Kougra as a real pet. heh-heh EDIT: Manta, chocolate cake is always good. Or funfetti cake with strawberry frosting! Quote
Spritzie Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 My husband wants to get a cat and a dog at some point. (My parents have my cat and my mom won't give him back.) I'm good with the cat thing, but no dogs. I'm totally not a dog person. (Plus I'm allergic.) Quote
Naamah D. Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 I hate snakes, but I figured if I got a virtual snake like creature it would help me get over my fear. So I adopted Googzie, my Hissi. Quote
Manta Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 My mom's either allergic to, scared of, or doesn't want to take care of the pets I want. And I'm not allowed to have pets in my dorm, although most of my friends do anyway :rolleyes_anim: Any of you guys have good recipes? I have plenty of eggs/milk/butter/sugar/flour/vanilla, so i've got the basics covered. Quote
Syrin of Neopia Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 Wish I could help you out with recipes, Manta, but most of my baking skills lie in whatever the box of cake mix tells me to do :P Quote
Spritzie Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 I'm the same way. I always do the boxed cake mixes. :whistle: Quote
Naamah D. Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 Does anyone else clash with the people they work with? What's really hard is that I'm pretty sure I'm the only one in my family that's an Atheist. I'm probably the only Atheist besides one other person I know, in my life. Quote
Spritzie Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 I do. I don't do well with a couple co-workers. (I'm rarely on-shift at the same time though.) When I am, I just mind my own business and make sure I have headphones, and they'll generally leave me alone. Quote
Syrin of Neopia Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 When I did work, I always clashed with my fellow employees. Usually it was about politics more than religion. Of course, most of the people I worked with were Agnostic, as I was at the time, so we agreed on that anyway. I hate, being a Christian myself, when others get mad at people who don't believe in God. It's your right to believe what you want & no one should try to force you to think differently or argue you with you about it. Sorry you have to deal with such aggravating people, starlite (whoops, I meant Succubus Princess. Forgot that you changed it.) Quote
Spritzie Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 I don't even get in discussions of any type with my co-workers. It's generally how they do their work that I have issues with. Quote
Manta Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 As an atheist myself, I'm trying to work on judging people. :P To me, there's a very simple reason not to have faith in any form of organized religion, but i'm not going to elaborate here so as to keep this a non-argumentative environment :yes: Quote
rachiee Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 I clash with some of my Christian friends about my lack of religious beliefs sometimes (but not all that often). When I first told them that I was an atheist (which was on Lent, haha) they were just in complete shock. I've even been told something along the lines of "you should really believe in God/go to church." My lack of religious beliefs is just none of their business. >.> In fact, it's been over two years since I last went in a church. :/ Quote
IrishLiz Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 mmmmm, cake and rice pudding! *grabs some* I'm glad there was still some left. I like lizards. They're kind of funny to watch, I think. I might be biased, but anole lizards are awesome. I also love frogs and turtles, but I'm not sure I could be a true herpetologist because snakes kinda freak me out. hm, a religion discussion... hopefully this doesn't get nasty as they can sometimes. The hard part for me is that I'm a Christian and I work in the sciences, which is not altogether very popular or welcomed. The most difficult co-worker I've had was actually a boss... he made me cry on Christmas Eve. :sad01_anim: EDIT: Oh and I don't like cats, but I'm allergic to them. We had reptiles growing up because my mom is allergic to things with fur. Now I have a dog (he's hypoallergenic), and he's awesome. Quote
Spritzie Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 We saved some just for you. :D I did have a turtle once. We found it in our front yard. I named it Murtle. (I was 7.) :laughingsmiley: Quote
Manta Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 Oh no!! That's an awful boss :( Then again, I probably shouldn't talk. When I was 9, I went to a Christmas party, and proved scientifically to all the children why Santa Claus couldn't exist. My mother was horrified and took me home :laughingsmiley: My college is science-oriented liberal arts, but we're religiously affiliated so we get a LOT of religiousy people. I try to stay away from them, to be honest :laughingsmiley: I love frogs and toads, hence my Neopets username :yes: My dream research subject though, is the tuatara. I bet it's crazyhard to get a grant though :D Quote
Spritzie Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 What's a Tuatara? I've never heard of it. I've been made to cry a few times at work. <_< Ugh. I can't find a chair that doesn't hurt my back today. I've tried everyone else's chairs from my team. Quote
Blurrz Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 I believe there is a higher power up there. And I'm baptized Catholic, which I'm 100% fine with. I pray every night to boot. But I'm not crazy, crazy, go to church every Sunday and read the Bible. I just know that there's something up there. And to be honest, religious fights are pretty fickle. In the end, we all believe in the same thing, there's just a few details that are different in a handful of beliefs. Alas, that's the world, and we tend to fight over the simplest of things.. Quote
Spritzie Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 Alas, that's the world, and we tend to fight over the simplest of things.. Like Coke or Pepsi? Or Terror Mountain or Maraqua? :whistle: Quote
Manta Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 Yeah, religious fights are fickle, because in the end humanity is utterly irrelevant. Religion is just a way for people to believe that humanity means something. :rolleyes_anim: A tuatara is a sphenodontian. It looks sort of like a crocodilian It's arguably the most primitive reptilian, but they're adorable and have fascinating behaviors :D Quote
Spritzie Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 Okay. I guess it is cute in a reptilian, lizard sort of way. I still prefer cats. :P Quote
Blurrz Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 Like Coke or Pepsi? Or Terror Mountain or Maraqua? :whistle: Coke. And Maraqua is going down to the town, gurl. Quote
Spritzie Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 I'd have to go with neither. I prefer Dr Pepper. :P No! We're going to the top. We're resting up, before the final push. Quote
Manta Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 Woot, it's been decided! :D I'm making deliciously delicious brownies! :O Quote
Spritzie Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 Brownies sound good. Will you bring me some? I still have 2 hours left at work. Quote
Syrin of Neopia Posted June 26, 2011 Posted June 26, 2011 Spritizie, you have always been one of my favorite persons on the forums & now that's super-confirmed because I love Dr. Pepper!!! & Manta, can your RPG character make brownies for us once the Rocket invasion is over? *entices with 99+ Rare Candies that she just happened to stumble upon* Quote
