The three year old hanging over a fence.. I would not say your dogs might bite.. that could bite you in the butt bigtime later.

Just say you are really concerned she will fall over and get hurt.

Etymology
The name orangutan (also written orang-utan, orang utan and orangutang) is derived from the Malay and Indonesian words orang meaning "person" and hutan meaning "forest",[3] thus "person of the forest". Orang Hutan is the common term in these two national languages, although local peoples may also refer to them by local languages. Maias and mawas are also used in Malay, but it is unclear if those words refer only to orangutans, or to all apes in general.

The word was first attested in English in 1691 in the form orang-outang, and variants with -ng instead of -n as in the Malay original are found in many languages. This spelling (and pronunciation) has remained in use in English up to the present, but has come to be regarded as incorrect.[4]

The name of the genus, Pongo, comes from a 16th century account by Andrew Battell, an English sailor held prisoner by the Portuguese in Angola, which describes two anthropoid "monsters" named Pongo and Engeco. It is now believed that he was describing gorillas, but in the late 18th century it was believed that all great apes were orangutans; hence Lacépède's use of Pongo for the genus.[5]

Oh damn, my fear would be her falling over, and then getting into the pool and drowning. It maybe be time for some 8 foot lattice to block said neighbors and maybe a pretty vine to grow on it.

Dang, I thought I was in the Right Now thread when I posted earlier.

Scootererric, Please realize I was trying to be funny, not flip re your gripe. I hope you were not offended. I suspect my siblings may have referred to me in a similar manner a time or two.

I just had to call The Mom at work and vent to her about this. Poor Mom. LOL

Some of you may know, but in my last year of university, I was our Grad Class President, so I represented the almost 3000 graduates of 2008.
Once I graduated, and the 2009 President was selected, I was no longer active.
I still tried to keep the 500 graduates I had on a mailing list in the loop as best I could, but I wasn't being kept in the loop either.
I was told, as were all of the other graduates, that our Yearbooks would be mailed out in January.
Come March, I found out that they hadn't been mailed out yet. So I contacted the school and they told me there was a issue with the printing but they'd be mailed out soon. That was fine, the school can obviously not control the printing companies issues.

I was getting a message or two regarding Yearbooks, which I directed them to contact my school, ad that was probably the best way for them to get the information.

It's now May, and they were JUST mailed out on May 1st. And they STILL DIDN'T GET IT <77> RIGHT!
People are getting Yearbooks with their address on them, but made out to someone else's name. That wouldn't be an issue if we knew everyone was still getting a Yearbook, but there's no way to prove that even with that error, everyone was sent out one.

I tried to contact my school today, was put on hold for 15 minutes, and then when I tried to call back, they wouldn't answer my call and I had to leave a message!

If I don't hear back today, tomorrow, I'm going straight over the Yearbook department's head, all the way up to the President of the University if I have to.

All I ask for is to be kept in the loop, not because I'm the Grad class president, but because I'm one of the 3000 people who waited over 5 extra months for her Yearbook.

This school is complete followers of the "Right hand doesn't know what the Left hand is doing" ideals and that was something that PISSED ME OFF when I had to deal with them on a daily basis and now I have to do it AGAIN.

There was a reason I was happy to graduate and it wasn't just because I was done school.

Grr.

I would like to gripe about the fact that I am an alpha tester for a certain product (have been for 7 years), and we are about to start testing a new feature. And it's so freakin' good that I am actually ticked I can't shout it to the world!
