HEY!!! I resent that remark, I am a "younger female" and I didn't nor
will I fall for his dirty little tricks. AND I don't think there will be
a gerbil club. It is probly a scam to get girls listening while he
subtly changes the subject from gerbils, to pervertism. Secondly, he
sounds like he know squat about gerbils. Come on guys, how many gerbils
live to be 6, and how many people are fortunate enough to have 2.
Obviously the blood comment was sarcasm, but almost everyone now days
that has the extra time makes their own gerbils foods, me included,
which I must add have been working on for almost 5 years now, and half
the list has theirs set up in 10 gal tanks, and 75-99% uses the same
litter and how many of us have gerbils that old??????????? I admit there
are a few but only a FEW. Anyway, my 2 cents. Man I have wanted to say
that for a LONG time. I would also like to mention, that although I am
female, I replyed to his stupid oh poor me emails just to see what would
happen, I did sign the email T.J., ( what coincendence, that must be how
the hacker got that signature, from reading my other emails,) and all he
said was thanks for the condolences. SO the guy must have smarts enough
only to prey on the young women, as he obviously thjought I was male.
