I figured you could ‘Handel’ my attempt at humor when I too caught the Gary Larson reference. :) Welcome to PetConnection, David! You realize though that the aria in question has now become an ‘Ohrwurm’ that I will not get rid of until the holiday season is over.

Thank you all again for the warm and furry welcome.
@Anne T: that was the single funniest comment I’ve ever had to a blog post, I loved it!
@CT. Good answer(s).
@Thanks, Dr. Johnson. Yep, I’m the new guy now. The blog name is indeed taken from the famous Far Side cartoon. It’s a constant reminder to me that what we’re saying might not be interpreted the way we wish by whomever is hearing/reading. And it’s also one of the best of Gary Larson’s cartoons.

Welcome, David - glad to have you here! That makes me not the new guy anymore! I am now a grizzled veteran (veterinarian) of PetConnection.com!

Love the name of your blog - reminds me of the Far Side cartoon. I assume that the was the intent?

Hope you are having a great holiday season and a warm welcome!

My answer to all 7 questions on your poll, David, is
“Happy Holidays to all and to all a good night’s sleep”.

Good night, everyone!

David, I read your poll and have only one answer to all your questions; “All we like sheep…”

Good point, Lis. Blogger doesn’t have a great setup for polls. And true, the responses so far are from regulars.

David, I think you might need to take a look at what your readers are seeing when they click on “7 comments” and then click on “Show original post” so that they can see the poll while responding to it. It’s not impossible, but it’s not pretty.

Would I be correct in guessing that the seven responses so far are from regulars?

Thank you Gina for the wonderful welcome to this terrific team! I’ve been a fan of Gina, Christie, Dr. Becker and the folks here for quite a while. I’m duly honored to be a part of the Pet Connection team.

And Colorado Transplant, first off, thank you for your warm welcome! The best way to respond to the blahblahginger blog post is to leave a comment. At the bottom of the post right now it says “7 comments”. Click on that, and you will see a box to leave your own answers.

Dear Dave:

I went to your blog (Blah Blah Ginger), tried to answer the poll at that site. Guess what, I must be dumb or something but no way could I select an answer. Since you went to Harvard, and e-mail is out by your words, can you make it simple for a non-Harvardian girl like me to take your poll? Please answer on this blog only, if it is okay with you.

Welcome, David S. Greene, I certainly do look forward from reading your writings.

The only baseball game I went to was a Red Sox game. However, Harvard does impress me, just does somehow.

I shall have to go to the blog, Blah Blah Ginger, weird name and all.

Good luck, David, and I promised to treat your writings on this blog with kindness, only. (I hope I can keep my promise!)
