when every night before going to bed you go to each cage,say goodnight to each glider(person)by name,tell them you love them and that you will see them in the morning,that is if no one barks
You know you're a glider-neck when..... You enjoy getting up and ready all of Luckyglider's quips for the day of how's he's a glider-neck as well as everyone else and are amazed the topic has lasted this long.
You tell your daughter she can't wear her shoe because your glider is playing in it. She says if it poops in my shoe, I'll be mad. I say you have lots more shoes. :)
yeah Esthersmom, and even when they do bark you say:
"Look little barky-barky you kept me up all night but I still love you to pieces!!!!!! Now you be good tonight, OK???"
kyro298, sounds like you are raising your daughter with the right priorities. Good for you - another convert..... (hee hee)
nuthutdd1 I am amazed too, but all of you are an inspiration for so many great ideas here. I don't think I could keep doing it without you all weighing-in to keep it going....
You know your a glider neck when you have your gliders sitting in your lap while your reading glider gossip, laughing and explaining it all to your babies. Also making sure they get to look at all the gider pictures. My girls just love that.
You moved to a new state over a month ago and BEFORE you moved you made sure you had a vet accessible 24 hours a day and you still don't know where a hospital is.
You start saving tissue boxes, odd pieces of rope, large odd buttons, and various junk in the hopes your suggies will like them as toys (and family members start calling you a pack rat).
You still have to take a shower and dress to take a houseguest to the airport in 5 minutes.... but you're still responding to posts on sugarglider.com.
You are so paranoid about scaring them, that any scraps of paper you would usually crinkle or tear and then throw in the trash - has to be disposed of in a whole 'nother room out of earshot of your babies....
(Gail thinks the sound scares some of them because it's imprinted to run away from anything that sounds like leaves rustling - predators approaching in a tree)
When you try to convince your kids that people you meet on the internet could really be anybody....they are thinking I'm talking about creeps...but what I meant is that they could really be gliders! hehehehe
