Christmas Countdown - 2008

[Jeff Westover]

I see how it works. You're the head of the family...but she's clearly the neck. That's called "normal".

 

[JayIsh]

It's been a while since anyone used the word "normal" to explain a situation I might be in!


Thanks Mr. Westover!

Happy Monday, Happy Martin Luther King Day~I nearly froze my cheeks off going to the barn this morning~all of 5 degrees with wonderful wind chill of 10 below. But might reach a balmy 10 degrees by afternoon...!

When I came inside the house, I was standing at the kitchen window watching the birds at the birdfeeder when a Tufted Titmouse flew into the window and fell into the snow. I ran outside to see what happened...it was lying there, not moving, eyes closed. I brought it inside on a towel and put it next to the wood stove....1 hour 15 min later, it opened its eyes and blinked at me! I just put it outside and it flew away. Small miracles do happen! ~Here is a pic (google) of a "Tufted Titmouse".

that happened once at work. A little bird flew into the window, & laid on the ground for a long time. After a while he snapped to & flew away. Its like their little brains short out & then kick on

Cedar is officially the Marlon Perkins of MMC.com!!!

Way to go Cedar!

Our cats watch our bird feeder by the hour!!!

 

[Crown 84]

Cedar, you are a kind person.
You likely saved that bird's life, owing to the low temperature.
I hereby nominate Cedar as Queen of Kind.

 

[sugarplum fairy]

That is a very cute little bird. Poor little guy...I hope he will be ok.

[AuntieMistletoeDear]

Also- go to Youtube and see the video of her on the final Newhart- where he wakes up in bed and theya re back on the "old" Newhart show- God what a classic..... so so

YABBA!

~ I was thinking about that too. When my brother was younger (guess I was too), he exchanged a few letters with Bob Newhart. Never Suzanne though. When I saw the last episode and he woke up with her beside him - I thought it was great. She even scolded him for eating Chinese Food so soon before going to bed. That was a great ending.

Auntie I have a funny feeling you'll be the first one who will be ready for Christmas 2008. Do you have any special vacation plans for this summer ? We want to try to meet somewhere so we all can get to know each other.

~Sorry, Debbie - I don't have a passport, it expired about five years ago. My husband isn't in a big hurry to get one just yet.

~Auntie! So you heard the same rant, huh? Yeah, my Mom...bless her heart...subscribed to the child rearing doctrine of scaring the crapola out of her girls. Things like: "Don't do that! It will BLIND you"...or "Don't do that, it will RUIN your reputation"...or "Don't do that or it will be on your PERMANENT record"!!! Know what? I miss her daily, wish I could get free advice from her again....

~Oh yeah, I heard all of them. I remember when I was in the hospital after surgery many moons ago. I was watching Cheers and it was the episode when Kramer was trying to be a rebel because Lilith was seeing someone else at the time. Anyone remember Kramer's big rebel move was to run around the bar with a pair of scissor in his hands ("Look! I'm running with scissors!"). I had to pull the ear-piece out of my ear, I thought I was going to pop the staples, but I could still see the sight of him so I had to turn the TV away from my view. I think there's a way to test viewer's rating habits that Nielson is missing there. I guess the funniest thing is that I wasn't very rebellious and if I decided to be a little dangerous, I'd likely just run around with scissors too or walk barefoot across a gravel parking lot.

:hello: Have a super end to Monday - tomorrow is not far off.
