That is a good price - and would have been on the list if I were to have gone to M and done it. See, you can do it all yourselves without me:rotfl:. It's good though, from whatever source (elsewhere or me) it comes from.

PD spotted it savvy....but yes a great price .....and you are right, it doesn't matter how we get there.......as long as we get there:)

How old do,they have to be to start beavers please

6 years but they can start earlier if the group allows. When DS started there was only 3 other kids so he started early.

Supposed to start cubs at 8 but he's going up at 7 1/2 again group discretion.

I'm just thinking. (Obviously about the same and related things again and again:rotfl: (I think that's what you love about me:D).)

I can listen to running tap water, but not to a Justin Bieber song.

:rotfl:I know it's unkind to say it like this, but it's not meant in this way:rotfl::rotfl::cool:.

(So, Savvy prefers the sound of running tap water to Justin Bieber:eek::rotfl:.)
(Though, I don't know how long I could listen to running tap water for before I get bored with it and switch it off. Although - I'm going on:rotfl: - if I were to listen to the sound of a tap being runned, or rather the sound made by the water running from the tap, I could - if I wished - try to focus on the sound even more and would be able to do that, but focusing on the sound of the Justin Bieber song just has me even more unable to stand it. I could also - as I, obviously, most most often do as does 'everyone' I suspect - just let tap water run in the background and not really listen to it. I don't mean wasting water and leaving a tap on unnecessarily. I mean just the few seconds of filling a kettle or however long it takes to fill the sink for a wash for example.)

Jas likes to drink running water from the kitchen tap or the bath tap. She's also quite partial to the bird bath but won't touch the water in the bowl marked CAT that sits alongside her food :rotfl:
Some of the kids here broke up on Tuesday and some on Wednesday. Today they were all having a massive water fight in the street. Tomorrow the water is being switched off all day again.

Dogs are the same, my dog will drink out of dirty plant pots, stagnant water, but put fresh clean water out and he doesn't want to know.

He does like the toilet water though :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I had a siamese that had a fascination with toilets when he was a kitten. We used the loo blue things at the time. One morning I saw him tear out of the bathroom, followed him into DS1's room and had to pull him out from under the bed. One soaking wet blue cat appeared. Had to bath him using baby shampoo, much to his disgust. Didn't cure him of his toilet fascination though..:rotfl:

Apparently, it's for babies, so, back to my childhood!:D:rotfl:

(I never listened like this to tap water in my childhood actually.)

It is kind of relaxing, yes (or it can be). Now, let's see how long I can listen to it for...:)

It's not "annoying", unlike a Justin Bieber song:rotfl:.

Oh, I've already managed longer than the Justin Bieber song!

:eek::eek:Ah, dear! I've just seen it's now 2 hours and 25 minutes:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::eek:. I thought it was 2 minutes and 25 seconds and was going to say I'd managed to listen to it all. But...another over 2 hours to go!:rotfl::rotfl:

Anyway, I'm on to over five minutes:eek::rotfl::D, and it's not yet become boring at any stage, so, yes, point proven, I can listen to the sound of tap water for longer than I can that particular Justin Bieber song. However, I had no point that I was seeking to "prove" so don't need to prove anything. (I think all of his are pop, so I suspect I won't be able to listen to any of his songs - the pop versions anyway - without the urge to switch them off - however I will reserve any judgement until I try his other songs, which I probably won't, because I "know" - from long personal experience now before over many years with all pop songs - that I'm not going to really like it.)

(I've now had the water in the background for over 9 minutes, but to be honest not really listening to it. Ah, I'll switch it off now. But I'm not yet bored with it:rotfl:. I think I could have the tap water in the background for several hours. In fact, I could probably cope with it if it was on throughout my life, except perhaps if there was something else I really wanted to concentrate on.

Oh - I've still go it on - it's getting quite interesting now:eek::rotfl: - it's about 11 minutes in, I've gone and looked at the video and it's because the container is now overflowing, oh yes, that is a more interesting sound:rotfl::rotfl:). I might just keep it on, maybe for a laugh:rotfl: - or until I give up.

Nah, switch it off (I got to 13 minutes, oooh, lucky for some!:D:rotfl::rotfl::cool:).

Actually, I've been able to write this post whilst the sound was on, so that tap water sound, unlike pop music, was not distracting. Some of my favourite songs though are distracting (in fact most of them are) and I can't do any other tasks really with them on, probably because I listen closely to them when I'm listening to them. I can't really have stuff in the background, of that nature, and that is an autistic thing. (I've been told by a medical professional in the field of autism that that is the case, and I didn't know that it was before they told me. Actually, I may slightly disagree with professional as that's just human opinion, and of course I know best:rotfl::eek:, but I think it is probably normally an autistic thing but not all the time. So, I think it's a little more complicated than that (but then maybe that's an autistic thing to think it's more complicated too - maybe I see the complex reality, the truth in a way, that other people don't see? Most people see a 'gist' or an overview, that doesn't include every detailed thing, so they're not actually getting the full picture, whereas I'm getting the full complexity of understanding of it all - it's a 'yes and no', not straightforward, rather than a 'yes', although I'm a black and white person and it's perhaps a contradiction within me - I prefer things to be one thing or the other - no grey areas - yet I get complexity, which sees all (or probably just most) shades. So, sometimes I am and sometimes I'm not. That's complex 'reality' (whatever that is:rotfl:) too. Anyway, I think maybe the professional may not have meant to be taken literally when they said it was an autism thing. Maybe they meant that "it can be" or "sometimes it is and sometimes it's not". It's difficult to put across a complex position in a short few minutes of consultation time. So, maybe the "that's an autistic thing" was a generalisation and, really, they were saying (or they knew) that, to some extent, it is autistic (rather than "it is autistic full stop").

I'm never straightforward:rotfl::rotfl:.

(...And, so much so, that probably, sometimes, on rare occasions, I am. So, again, sometimes I am straightforward and sometimes (most of the time!:D) I'm not - which is, itself, complex and not straightforward. But: who doesn't carry baggage and crap around with them, to some extent, though (to put it bluntly: in other words, accurately:rotfl::D:cool:)?)
