Modern Buddy

i thought it'd be a good idea to move this from the other thread.

hey if you're interested, i actually have 4 ferrets currently: squeegie "ouiji" kittieyumsocks, Ruby, Quohog and Bella. I have had a lifelong obsession with ferrets, i saw one at age 5 and laughed so hard i cried. (no lie)

meet:

Squeeg gives me kisses


ruby hates being bathed (and heroscape)


bella is always happy


and quohog never sits still unless she's restrained

again... totally off topic, but who can resist such cuties? although, they are all my "buddies" (Harhar)

hey weaseltamer, I didn't mean to insinuate you should move those pics. I think I meant to say I want to show you mine. Ferrets are the most unique animals i've known. I spent the last hour looking for some pix that aren't even on this computer and the disc player is down. I fell in love about 8 years ago when one showed up in our back yard at the edge of town. Of course we had to get a companion of the species. When I figure out how to post pictures i will. I just had 2 little theives, there's always a veriety of pets around here dogs, cats, fish, turtles...nothing like a weasel... Ferrets are pretty hard to contain though. I don't like cages. Neither did the weasels.

no problem, and no offense taken. and please, post pictures of all your cuties here! i always need to take could-be study time and fritter it away looking at pics or trolling forums on the internet. The other members of our 1 bedroom apartment currently are 2 cats, ninja and samurai, and one hairless rat, named Keemo. Ironically, she's now getting a tumor on her back leg... i lost her best-est sweet buddy, pinky to kidney failure over spring break.


pinky left, keemo right

Meet Rudie! She turned nine years old this weekend.

And yes, she has her own MySpace page:

This is my baby. He's a one year old Pharaoh Hound named Cairo and gets into more trouble than he knows what to do with. 1st pic was taken at his last training class. Hurray, he graduated! The second is when he was much younger, hanging out with Jewel (the Doberman) and Cohen (the Greyhound, RIP).

I don't have any cute pics of my cats, but here is one of my cat Sterling

Neither fur nor feathers in my house.

Hey, Rudie's MySpace page is set to private. What a tease.

Digger --> http://www.flickr.com/photos/lagerhead/ ... 423834045/

We got her to help us with a mouse problem we had in the barn at the previous house. She's afraid of mice but she brings us a bird/bunny/snake, every week or 2.

Oops, fixed that!

...Mine's still private, though.

OK, who remembers where on this board posting pics is discussed?
I wish I were part geek.

What do you need to know?

You can post a pic in two ways:

1. When posting a message, look at the bottom of the screen where it says "add attachment". That's where you can upload your file.

2. If it's already hosted somewhere else, use the "Img" button at the top. Quote one of the messages above to see what it looks like.

Here is Holly Golightly. She is a year and a half and more than 4 handfuls

I did have some rats... but alas they are long gone. I didn't even bother leaving the top of the cage on. It was an open door policy.

Awwww!! Sam is so cute!! Now i need a puppy. (yes holly is adorable too)

Tori when she was a pup, and then 3years later

Here is a non-buddy but scooter related pic. I just picked it up tonight.

I want a Lammy! Is this your second scoot or do you own others? Scooter lust never dies!

This all started when I re-inhertited a 50cc honda elite last year that I rode around campus years ago. I bought the Buddy 125 last year and really caught the bug. I've been searching for a while for a decent Lammy and finally came across this one locally. So I'm up to three for now. Sadly the Buddy may have to go once I get the Lammy fixed up the way I want it. We'll see, both would be cool. As for the Elite, I'm still hoping to get my wife to jump on it and see how much fun scoots are.

here's an idea for you... have a "movie night" in the garage... make believe you're going to the drive through, and have the scooters set up to sit on and watch a movie.

you'll have to actually have a t.v. set up with a movie to make this work. maybe a movie with russell crowe, or perhaps a chic-flick. you may need to have some bait for the future scooterist, such as ice cream, to lure her into the zone. don't skimp on the bait.

you must get her to sit on the scooter for the whole gig to be fruitful. from my own experience with the spouse jump to scoot-dome, the buddy was the scoot that got her hooked. once she sat on it, she was sold.

good luck.

DO3,
You mean to say, on this forum, that the elite and not the buddy would be the scooter to lure a skeptic to a scooter. In what way would it be favorable. I think it would need to be a $ issue to get away with it here. It's all good fun of course.

louie,

Reason 1) 49cc and below doesn't need a permit or motorcycle endorsment as the B125 would. 2) I wouldn't cry (at all) if the Elite got laid down.

Once said person feels comfortable on a scooter and wanted to, I'd be all for letting her ride the Buddy and getting 100% addicted. Although until I get the Lammy tuned a bit she'd whip my butt and I wouldn't be able to keep up.

I had good fun smoking my neighbor the other night on his Stella, not even close.

Se. We have many Stellas around here. Since i'm so new it's fun to have all the others talk about the how fun, fast and responsive buddys are.

I used the safety course bike as my "learning drop" bike. The best $200 ever spent. So yes, the elite would be a better choice.

Right on!

How can you spot a Lambretta from 100 yards away?

It's the scooter with the side cowels off!

Bwah ha ha.

Hopefully that won't be mine. Other than a minor battery charging issue she seems pretty solid so far. Any tips on trouble shooting a 6V DC Motoplat rectifier?

A non-buddy picture of my buddy. My 3 year old son.

Here's me with my babies, Daisy & Jasper the day after we found our kitten, Puffin, on the brink of death roaming the streets. Here's Puffin now:

And a hawk in my backyard... not a pet but it was fun watching him pick off rabbits last summer (not as mean as that sounds... they gotta eat also.. right?)

Figured I would get in on this one here is a picture of my litte boy "Hypo"

I just spent my stimulus check to adopt a little kitty from the shelter last week.
He's about 8 months old and looks like mostly Tonkinese, but is probably mixed.
He is really sweet, but TERRIFIED of bells... I wonder why... I've decided to call him Toby.

Taking another stab at better pictures.

Here are my Scout and Otto.

they are the original "buddys" in my life.

Ok here are my 2 lazy cats - Sabrina is the one in back, Busta is the other one. Busta was chocolate brown when I got him, but now he's black lol. Sabrina is fat and shaped like a Hershey's Kiss when she's sitting


And here are my 2 adorable nieces Sophie is 3, morgan is going to be 6 in July



And this is me, drinking some vodka laced iced tea with my motor cycle friends

Vodka + Arizona Iced tea is my fave, citrus vodka hides the taste even more

My kitty, who is all furr..




My 65 Mustang (Tex) which I no longer have

The family

Here are my other two "buddies". Dia (in back) is still with me at the ripe old age of 18 1/2. Hercules (in front) sadly went over the rainbow bridge. He left us at 17 1/2 and Dia & I both miss him terribly.

[quote="addictionriot"]My kitty, who is all furr..



looks like a mean ass cat

only when you try to give him a bath

I have a mean cat like that too Actually she hates the cat carrier, and strangers. Looks like a racoon. One trip to the vet's office she attempted to poop on me to keep me from getting her into the carrier She's lucky she made it alive.
