Beast from MA, USA

to your page and this site! Hope you enjoy visiting all of the places here. Here are some flowers to help decorate your place! Have a great day! If you ever want to chat, you can visit the SA2 page (under Clips conversations). There's usually a friendly ear there. Take care.

Hi Stella,
Thanks for the welcome. You don't live far from me. I live east of North Adams, MA, in a cabin in the woods with my dogs (my weakness are my German Shepherd Dogs). I envy you living near the horses! Sudoku led me to this site, but it appears there are lots of nice people, too.
Thanks, again, for the welcome!

Hi Beast, and welcome to your own special Sudoku space! I have a traditional gift of a double chocolate fudge beavertail pastry for you as a page warming gift,and for the future bride and groom (Mala and Domino) I'll leave some beef chewies. As Stella may not see your response to her, a hint for you: reply to people by clicking on the 'Check out my page' feature by their names. Nice to have you on site, and I like your photos and your dogs!

Hi, Beast! to your new page! We're glad you've found us here. It's a great group of caring people - and a few curmudgeons to spice things up. Here are a few daylilies from our yard - only a few because the deer who pass by usually enjoy them before we see them. I'm also leaving a big box of Frango Mints on the table for you and your guests to enjoy.
Your dogs are beautiful! (I see Mala likes her partner to be a bit younger.) I hope everything works out between her and Domino.
Since you have admitted to be a Sudoku-aholic, I'd like to invite you to visit 'our' page. In the middle top of the page, click on 'Clips.' More than half-way down the page you will find the heading 'Conversations.' Click on 'Sudokuaholics Anonymous 2.' There are frequent posters there from Eastern and Central US time zones, as well as various time zones in Australia. There are busy times, when 4-7 people are all there at the same time, and times when we go hours without a comment. Try us out when you can! And to your page.

Welcome, Beast. I am bringing you some fresh squeezed Florida orange juice as a welcome gift. I always thought that German Sheperds are a beautiful dog, but never had one. My husband had one when he was growing up. We don't have a large house or yard so we keep our dogs on the small size. Beau was a 6 lb Yorkie and Rachel is a 25 pound mutt. I would love a sheperd if I ever had the yard space for it to run in.

Hi Beast! to Sudokuland.
What beautiful dogs you have! I'm leaving a big pot of Maryland Cream of Crab soup for you and your visitors. And a box of Milk Bones for the furry members of your family!
Stop by my place anytime, door's always open!

and Breast. How true your saying is - that's words of wisdom we all need to remember. I'm going to enjoy visiting your dogs after I post. Take Care and enjoy your day. Mary

Hello Beast - I thought an Aussie was needed on your page so thought I would do the honours. Welcome to your own page and the wonderful world of sudoku and the many lovely people on this site.
Here's some to add to your page and a bottle of our local Wignall's Late Harvest for you to share with your guests.
Cheers

Hello Beast and a great big to Sudokuland to you and your German Shepherd Dogs. I too love the breed and am fortunate to share my home with two wonderful girls. I hope you enjoy the site and your new space. Feel free to stop by my place any time that you like.

Welcome Beast - from the other side of the world (Australia).

Hi B E A S T .
Congratulation to have your own page .I am very pleased to visit you having with me these very beautiful flowers hope you enjoy it.
You are to your own page.
You are to my own page.
You are to visit my 'Egyptian Guest House'any and every time you wish to enjoy my photos of Egypt and to hear the Egyptian music and songs.

Welcome Beast - I just love the name, conjures up all sorts of images (all good ones of course).

I'm on the otherside of Oz from Col from the otherside of the world...

Beast, you are going to find lots of friendly people on this site. Rachel, by the best guess, is part Chihauhau(face) and part Dachsaund(body). It is an interesting mix. She is getting ready to go to grandmas for a few days while we go away.

Hi Beast, Welcome to the site. There is lots of fun to be had here. I am leaving you a plate of oatmeal chocolate chip cookies on the table. Come visit when you have the time.

Wow, you've had alot of visitors since the last time I was here. You seem to be getting into the swing of things on Easy. I don't think I've been to North Adams, but it is fairly close to me. We've gone skiing just north of there in Vermont several times. Now we do most of our skiing at Smuggler's Notch, VT. Have fun visiting all of the various pages! Take care.

and I'm leaving you some peanut butter fudge. Wouldn't want you to run out of food for all these visitors.

Is it really Mary? What made you choose Beast? Just curious.

Hi folks--Greg asked me where I got the name
Beast. Here's the story:
Years ago, during one of my many second childhoods, I had a lovely little car, a Toyota MR2. I named it 'Babybeast' because it was so little and was a beast to start and drive in the snow! When Babybeast finally went to MR2 heaven, I could not let the name die, so I now use it for email, web site ID's, etc. I would have used it here on this site, but I could not use so many letters, so it got shortened to Beast. So now you have it! My real name is Mary, but I love all beasts and critters, so Beast is sort of a part of me...

Well, you might now be referred to by me on site as Babybeast, or Mary, or Beast or Hey You. Cheers!

Hi Beast, This is my second effort to welcome you to the site, hopefully the gremlins will not get this comment. Your dogs and the story behind your screen name are just great. I welcome you here and hope you enjoy as much as most of us do. Please feel free to visit my page and meet my family, both human and four legged members. I'm leaving you a basket of goodies that made Philadelphia famous, steak sandwiches, soft pretzels,scrapple, Philadelphia cream cheese, and Franks orange sodas...hope you enjoy!

Hello, Beast!
Welcome to the site and congratulations on your own page. Although I officially live in Florida, we have a home in Freetown, MA, too, where we lived until last December. I was excited to see another MA person on this site. Are you a Red Sox fan? Next week, I'm flying down to Tampa to see the games there--it is easier to get tickets and the cost is less even with the flights figured in!!!

Beast thanks for the visit. To answer you question I have more pictures of the girls than most could bear to sit through. Unfortunately the early pictures of Kala are all 35mm as are many of the early ones for Sky. I just don't have the time to scan them.

Your dogs are beautiful! How old is your young man now?

Hi Beast, welcome to Sudokuland and all the very diverse people that are here on this site. Dont't know if we should call you Beast, Baby beast or Mary, but whatever you like it's ok with me. Well enjoy the fun and will talk to you later. hope you enjoy the site.

Oh BTW just expermenting with avatars tonight, most of the time I'm Yogi Bear, lets see what happens now??

Hi Beast, Thanks for the visit and the kind words about my family and recognizing the importance of our four legged children. I'm always happy to meet appreciative animal lovers on this site, and there are many. I think folks who value animals, even if they have none of their own, are just a little nicer to each other.
Hope you come again, and tell me a little more about your family and yourself.

Beast
Please accept my apologies for not visiting sooner, so many new members so little time.
to I hope you have as much fun as we all do.
BTW love your welcome note as well as all the dog pics. LOL
Looking forward to getting to know you better.
Cheers

well with any luck this will be a different avatar, just playing but thanks for visiting my page, and welcome to the wonderful world of
Sudokuland.

Nope still did'nt change well mabey this time.

one last time then I quit trying to change them. sorry to experiment on your page, have a great night.

G'day Beast! Many thanks for the tip about mothballs vs mice. I will certainly try that. Luckily I quite like the smell of mothballs - it always takes me back to childhood. Let's hope my uninvited visitors don't. Thanks again, Kate

Me again. I have taken your advice and also that of Sandie, who suggested one of those electronic repellers, and hey presto!! I haven't seen a mouse since. Time will tell. Thanks again, Kate

& I just stopped by to say hello & get acquainted. We think Ebony has some shepherd in her. Hope you are having a good summer in MA. I am hoping to get together wih Chalkboard from MA while she's here in FL for a few weeks. We never found each other at the Red Sox game on Sat. night. Please come by & see me on my page sometime. Would love to have you visit.

Gday Beast. How very rude of me, I know I've visited before because I remember looking at your photos but I don't see my calling card anywhere. Your dogs are gorgeous. Those ears!
Well, I'm here now and I've brought you a bottle of Aussie bubbly, a plate of nibblies and an invitation to drop in to my page anytime. Take a stroll around the garden, find a seat in the shade and meet my family. Hope to see you there.

Welcome to this great site, Beast! thought I had left a message before, but perhaps I put it on the main page. Like you, I love animals - often prefer them to the 2-legged race! Have left you a bottle of St Joseph (red wine) and a chunk of Auvergne cheese. Hope your dogs like the Markies?!? I'll try to get a photo of my Kelshie-dog on my page, soon.

Beast - we miss you - check in sometime.

Maen
