So. I don't know if you all got me a Christmas present yet (or were planning on it) but I say don't do it.

Here's the thing:

Rachel and Nick are currently accepting donations toward the purchase of a sugar glider. Sugar gliders alone cost $250 but we'd also need a cage and food for it.

If you have a bird cage lying around (I don't know how many of you had birds) that could work as a cage. We could even pay you if your parents don't want to give it away.

Also, I don't know if any of you are the sewing type, but to bond with a sugar glider (and also to give them something to sleep in) you give them a "pouch." Made of FLEECE. Apparently, that's important. Comme ca. (Pretend that c has a cedilla on it, mmkay?) Basically, it's a bag with a string on it. You hang it in/on their cage and the glider sleeps in it during the day. Then you take the pouch out and put it around your neck and (eventually) it'll come out and play. It's a bonding thing, since sugar gliders are like kangaroos or any of those pouch baby animals.

Nick mentioned that upon donating money or resources, one would have the opportunity to [help] name the sugar glider. You'll have to ask him if that offer still stands.




In other news, tomorrow and Saturday I will either be shopping or babysitting or participating in events you are not privy to so I shall not be able to "hang out" with anyone. However, next week I can work whenever I feel like it so if anyone wants to do anything, I'm game.

I love you all.

P.S. I know a whole lot about sugar gliders (I was totally obsessed with them for two or three years) so if you have any questions, direct them to me or Nick. Thanks.

Shweet. I've been wondering about the sugar glider thingy you were talking about on the phone.

Maybe try to stop by sometime before Monday, if you can. Course, I'm not expecting anything since you were going to stop by on Wednesday but didn't. Just try to stop by sometime so I can give you your Christmas present. But it can always wait until next year.

Try asking Jennifer if she has any of her old sugar glider stuff. Hearts!

I didn't know Jennifer had a sugar glider. Do you have her number?

Yeah, well it got to be so late that I had to tell you not to come. At least I'm used to it by now ~_^

Damn, I'd hafta look her number up...I might have it. Yes, I do! 866-2612

She had sugar gliders once upon a time ago back in 9th grade, although they're now deceased and rats have taken their place.

What luck, my bird just died! We just bought him a new cage last week too, maybe it'll work.

although I hate sugar gliders, I am the sewing type. I'll make a pouch if you want.

Jennifer used to have some sugar gliders. They pooped on me.
