Well, in the incredible but true department, we have had probably 18 responses to our "for rent" CL ad. The Phoenix couple just called and want to sign today, period. We're just laughing about it all. So now I need to find an online renter's application plus figure out where to do the background check. Any recommendations?

Thank you for the photos DR TCB. I especially enjoyed the one of Ann & MBarnum.

Thanks. Me too.

I've been away from the computer for a while, eating the Mother's Day supper that DS Rob prepared for me - popcorn and cheese. Yum!

DR TCB, thanks for the photos!

My friend Chris just left after setting up my new LaCie backup hard drive. I managed to do in the last one while I was trying to empty some of its cache. Chris says it's still usable but this new one has a trillion gigs or more, so I am very happy at the moment. I spent some time over dinner pondering my last OZ chart and I think I need to rewrite a bar or two tonight.

Is that who that was? I was blinded by MBarnum's shiney face.

Just read that Iron Man II purportedly did 133,000,000 on its opening weekend. I think is a total load of horse manure and yet another lie perpetrated by the insane people who run studios. It's been getting worse and worse and some fine day someone's going to find out the truth and expose this insanity.

How do you know the amounts are false. I'm not doubting you, only curious.

Cute card DR MBarnum, & it makes me doubly happy my hubby cooked today & served me.

He made blueberry buttermilk pancakes-yum.

For mother's day I mowed the lawn and then planned to just flop around the house (my mom went to Medford for the weekend). Instead my sister Sue called and we went up to Tigard to see little Benny play flag footbal, which his dad (my nephew) is coaching.

Benny (who is five years old), it seems, has little or no interest in football. Most of the time he was picking flowers or laying on the ground. It was rather amusing. He does not like having the ball as he does not want anyone taking his flags. He later told my sister (his grandma) that he did not like football, and frankly I don't blame him!

Benny's dad was, and is, quite the sportsman, but I think Benny will be more cerebral and is likely to grow up to be a technical geek.

BK, you are probably exhausted from not getting much sleep lately. You need to get some rest.

MBarnum · « **Reply #132 on:** May 09, 2010, 05:43:47 PM »

Well I have Jack Wrangler waiting for me so I will be watching that prior to THE AMAZING RACE (in which I hope the cowboy's win) and DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES.

I didn't say that.....or did I?

I see the photos I tried to attach earlier didn't attach - I will have to figure out how to do it-

vixmom · « **Reply #137 on:** May 09, 2010, 06:18:09 PM »

sorry for my sudden departure this morning but I suddenly realized that it was time for church and I had to leave THAT second - so I did

vixmom · « **Reply #138 on:** May 09, 2010, 06:21:12 PM »

On Mother's Day, the men of our church make pancakes for the Moms - this time in addition the the usual buttermilk there were also blueberry pancakes! (I had three- but they were small)

Ginny · « **Reply #139 on:** May 09, 2010, 06:27:09 PM »

As much as I'd love to stay and chat, this morning's 5:30 wake-up call just caught up with me - 'night!

I knew him. Mr Wrangler was a very nice gentleman!

we also have our annual flower/plant sale on Mother's Day - I bought 3 flats of impatiens in mixed shades of pink for my garden, as well as a flat of coral impatiens for my Mom's garden - I also bought a nice plant arrangement for Mom, some cherry tomato plants and a flat of these

I have no idea what they are called

vixmom · « **Reply #142 on:** May 09, 2010, 06:40:37 PM »

dang it - still can't post my other photo - it is too big and I can't figure out how to resize it on ths new computer-

Jane · « **Reply #143 on:** May 09, 2010, 06:44:23 PM »

I'm sorry Vixmom cuz your first photo is beautiful.

vixmom · « **Reply #144 on:** May 09, 2010, 06:45:29 PM »

anyway it was a picture of anncredibly tiny baby bunny - it's lttle ears were about the size of my pinky nail

the Vixter saw it moving in the grass as she was mowing the grass and stopped the mower jut in time. We put it in a cardboard box filled with shredded paper and it promptly buried itself and went to sleep

then the Vixter went back to mowing and 30 seconds later she was back with another one! It too weet into the box and it too buried itself and went to sleep

Jane · « **Reply #145 on:** May 09, 2010, 06:51:42 PM »

What are you doing with the baby bunnies?

Still not feeling great. It's weird to feel queasy and hungry but that's how I feel right now.

Ginger is always good for nausea/queasiness. Room temp ginger ale or some ginger tea, maybe.

We went to investigate the front lawn and discovered a rabbit hole had been dug down and cleverly concealed with a "door" of matted grass clippings - when the Vixter lifted it she could see more baby bunnies all cuddled up sleeping together

So the Vixter called her cousin in Canada - she is taking a course in animal husbandry up in Saskatoon - for advice - We were concerned that since she handled the babies that thei mother would reject them - but we were assured that they wouldbe welcomed home - so the vixter brought them back the hole and gently put them, one at a time, back down - they pushed their way in amongst their siblings and the Vixter put the grass 'door' back to keep them snug and hidden

Good, I was concerned you couldn't find where to return them. Such a sweet happy ending to the story.
