http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/norway/12055542/Norway-launches-campaign-to-give-Finland-a-mountain.html

quote:

A group of Norwegians has launched a campaign to shift their country's border by 200 metres to bring the peak of the Halti mountain into Finnish territory as a gift to their mountain-deprived neighbour for the 100th anniversary of its independence. ... “It would not change the square kilometre size of Norway or Finland,” Mr Harsson told the Telegraph. “But it would make a big difference that the highest point in Finland would be on a mountain peak and not on a hillside.”

Say what you will, but I think this is downright adorable :allears:

Hello cute thread. Long time reader, first time posting content. Fan of Butters :3:

Just read a one two punch of uplifting and cute I wanted to share. The uplifting was a school being very successful for a fundraiser for kids against hunger. The cute part was the contest for the one who raised the most during the fundraiser and the result.

Yep, that was pretty cute all right!

I recognise that cockatoos have features that can be considered cute. I've seen them dancing around and doing other adorable things.

But having a tiny intelligent creature in your house that mutters and screams incomprehensible words at you in a distorted imitation of your own voice sounds like the kind of nightmare you have when you fall asleep reading a horror novel after chugging a gallon of expired milk.

Lol, intelligent. You've never met a cocky have you. They have two settings. Loud and destructive or loud and destructive. You can't choose which.

I like how he doesn't immediately run away for an adventure or something, he just sits down and mlems all "yeah what? I'm just showing you that I can do that any time I want."

Dumbish question.

Had to have a pet put down yesterday. I lost a ton of photos in a hard drive crash a bit over a year ago, including most of the pictures of said cat that I had. There's one photo that I'd like to have more than anything. I'm 99% certain that I posted it in a prior "cute pics" thread. Anyone have links to them? I'd like to look through them to see if I can find it. Most likely uploaded to imgur, but it doesn't appear that I was logged in at the time so it's not tied to my account there.

Is there a way to locate the old threads? I'm crap with the "Search the forums" thing.


Bye friend.



Edit : Found one at least.

I lived a cat that would try his damnedest to get out of the house whenever the door was opened, only to stop and sit on the stoop.

Same. I had two cats who would always try to get outside only to be thwarted by the concrete driveway that they had to roll around on.
Whenever they got outside I would have a 5 minute window where the concrete kept them entertained enough for me to snatch them. Still managed to pick up flees on one of those driveway adventures smh.

Cockatoos can have relaxed and lovey moods, but their frequency seems dependent on the individual bird and the home it's in. Gotcha here knows how to unwind.

One of my dogs would do this. There were times that I realized he got loose only to open the front door and find him sitting there looking at me like "its about drat time you opened the door"

Ours will do this. He'll beg to be let outside, and when we finally do, he will go out onto the deck, look around, turn around and come back in, then sit in front of you and look up at you with big sad dog face that says "Cookies?"

My dad falls for it every goddamn time.

My dog I grew up (lab retriever) with would always flip his poo poo when the mailman came, barking, jumping, absolute terror, to the point where replacing broken blinds was a normal thing for our front door.

One day my mom suddenly hears the barking stop and thinks "oh poo poo!"

Runs upstairs, and the dog is on the porch, happily standing there and wagging his tail like ":buddy: HEY THERE GUY!" as the mailman's basically making GBS threads himself over a friendly dog.

My old dog from childhood did this once. She jumped the wall in the back garden, got into the neighbour's garden and then ran off. My dad spend hours looking for her, then he got back and...the dog was sat in front of the door, waiting for him.

My coworker was just telling me about her husband's cairn terrier, who chewed through three layers of boards they'd put over a hole in the fence just to run around to the front porch and sit there waiting for them. Just proving he could do it, I guess.

So, it's getting late-ish in the year, Christmas is crawling forwards like it's in slow motion, and I found two more pictures of my dad, so I figured I'd share with all you wonderful people once again.



So, this old throwback from Autumn 2005 Shows off a rather neat slice of my family; going from left to right, there's my Dad, his Mom, my older brother, my great-aunt, and my great-uncle. With my recently-passed pooch in the foreground. My Great-uncle and his wife are still alive at 95 and 93, and they still go jogging at least 5 kilometres a day. He also makes Customized wooden models of cars, trucks, and construction vehicles that are fully articulated, as showcased in these two gallery links.

And, from Christmas 2007, roughly 10 months after his 60th birthday. That was 6 days after a liver biopsy and RF ablation killed his first run-in with liver cancer, and the biopsy needle had scraped a rib, so it hurt to smile and laugh. Still, he loved every moment of having his family around, and, as you can see, giving him a good Ritter Sport and a new novel was an easy way to keep him occupied for a few days.

I wish; No, my Great-Uncle only made them for his little sister (my grandmother), but apparently, the blueprints to make them can be found online. I'll see about getting in contact with him sometime and asking about them, but no promises. (He's some 5,000 Kilometres away from where i live, and isn't much for e-mail)
