kat57 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 I've had mostly fog out here today-very creepy in the woods! Holly,another animal story you reminded me of-in the mid 60s my older brother had a pet flying squirrel a neighbor boy had caught as a baby. I know-we couldn't do that these days...anyhoo,when we were being packed up by the movers to go out to Cailifornia in the summer of '65,somebody got all mixed up and my mother thought Grandma got Peter,the squirrel and took him home with her,as was planned. There were no cell phones to call and check in,etc.,of course,so it was forgotten all about. Until we were in our new home in California and Mom began unpacking. I didn't witness it,but when she got to one of the boxes that had toys in it,she freaked out-the smell was overwhelming. The packers had put the squirrel cage in the toy box... we don't know how they could have been so stupid. The cage was covered with a towel,but still! Needless to say,she burned the contents of that box-I have no idea what toys were in it,but they were totally ruined! Gloria,Yes,they are nearly as destructive as the wild pigs-but in much smaller areas. We had an armadillo making a deep burrow/nest at the foot of the porch for awhile the first year here-we had to keep filling the hole. But,as our outside cats have increasingly taken over the porch as their hang out,evidently the armored creature decided to find other accomodations. Holly,did you mean baby Conures-as in the parrot? If so,I totally agree-in fact most baby birds are hideous at first aren't they?lol Barbara,I just heard of coy-wolves for the first time a couple of weeks ago. Nature is a trip!! So bad about the livestock! I hope they can find a solution,but I know it will be hard.... Okay,sorry to go off topic again! I am really enjoying not having to run the heater,for a short while,anyway. It will be May before we really get to enjoy it here,at least before I will be consistently warm! I just don't get this creepy fog today. I thought it was going to pour down raining,which I'd prefer at this point! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 ...Holly,did you mean baby Conures-as in the parrot?... Yes. I haven't been able to spell worth a darn since going through nursing school. Once you learn how to spell things like cholecysectomy and hemorrhoid, normal words leave the brain!

kat57 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 And I know you mean cholecystectomy. I respectfully didn't correct you the last time,but that is something I'd want to be spelling right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 See? Actually since I haven't been writing nurse notes on charts, I'm even losing the fancy words, too. At least you knew what I meant... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amyole Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Wondering if we'll have a snow day in southern NH tomorrow. If so, I'll turn it into a mini-day (and be teaching all summer ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

me-barbie Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Just cold here, but not the bone chilling deep freeze of dec & jan.....and you know we have had our bones chilled when -18 C qualifies as "not bad, be nice if the wind quit!"

me-barbie Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 And Holly, try spelling "diadochokinetic rate". I swear, my profs in grad school put it on exam papers to see how many different ways I could misspell it..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sable Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Currently having a thunderstorm in South Florida. Weird to have one in February, but it was 88 F an hour ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roxxie2 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 A couple more inches of the white stuff last night and cold like winter out here in the high country. I don't know what the roads are like but our 2 mile long dirt road never gets salt or plowed so I am home today. I am not in the mood to slide into a ditch!

me-barbie Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Clear and DANG cold. Holed up watching the opening ceremonies. The "doves of peace" looked an awful lot like jellyfish of peace to me. And Paige and Rudy (Canada, Pairs Figure Skating) look like they are having a BLAST. they are from SK, train in MB, and I judged them when they were kids. Now they are at the Olympics!

KathieB Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Barb, I thought the same thing about the doves. It sort of worked in the long shots, but in the closeups ihe illusion fell apart. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the presentation. The light illusions were fantastic. The history seemed a bit uneven, but I guess the host country can say whatever they want about themselves however they want to say it. I gave it a thumbs up. :thumb: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be a good night to stay in and watch tv I think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
