Welcome! It's always great to get affirmation by having others join your ranks. So thank you for that!

Congratulations monster, the national average IQ just went up a smidge. :celebrat:

Congratulations!!

My sincerest congratulations, Monster!

Happy to have you!

Yey monster! Congrats

I just ironed three pairs of light(ish) trousers and put them away.

Won't see them again until Spring. It's corduroy or moleskin from now on.

I just zippered in the fleece lining to my Berghaus jacket so that's in Winter configuration once again.

I hate Winter. I doubt if that comes as much of a surprise to anyone.

Three season allergy sufferer, here. Bring it on, Winter is my fav!

:jig:

I just did the data graphing and 1:1 aide request that my replacement will need for the "typical" all day child in our classroom. I fully expect a refusal by county and district because this whole thing smells of collusion to me. When a child is seriously injured they'll need a paper trail to follow. I've officially done a political 180 on the efficacy of community based organizations providing UPK services. Non-unionized CBO employees will be taken advantage of by their administrators and the public school administrators to avoid paying for services because they have no recourse... except for walking away.

I just touched my squirrel (about an hour ago, actually).

No, that's not a euphemism.

I was holding a cookie out for him (he's been getting braver and braver, I've been trying to get him to take the cookie from my hand) and he had his mind made up he wanted it bad enough to take it. He made a few decoy runs, and then inched his way close enough. He reached for the cookie at the same time I wiggled it to entice him, knocked it out of my hand, and then grabbed my index finger with both paws, realized that wasn't cookie, then grabbed the cookie off the deck, and retired to cookie eating position. He goes to this same spot almost every time to eat the cookie.

My backlit squrl:

Nice.

I touched a flying squirrel. Or rather, one touched me.

I suppose that was what happened here, also.

ETA: He cme back later, and I thought to get the camera going for the hand-off. I don't think he liked that great big eye (the lens) looking at him, as he was much more timid this time. I'll post the vid soon, nothing to see, really, though.

I was confused as to which of my squrls I was dealing with.

And when.

Anyway:



Told ya there wasn't much to see.

lol - cut lil guy.

If he doesn't take the damn cookie pretty soon, I will cut him...

...up for supper!

does the cookie have nuts in it?

one for the Brits....
What has a hazelnut in every bite?
