Greg,

Hey a top for me this morning

How ironic it was a post to Greg

Hi Jaime,

sorry to hear 9 wasnt there.
I agree with Kierra, you have to keep looking until someone finds it
Go when you can

Glad the swimming went swimminly
Best they learn while they are little.
when they are older they often get scared of the water and its much harder to learn.

I dont swim and I'm too afraid to learn now. so I wade around in the shallow end of the pool. i love the water too.

Jaime,

I am not afraid of cougars as long as I know where they are.
The bad thing about cougars, they like to hide in bushes or woods and will stalk then pounce before you even know they are there.

when we hike in the woods we always make lots of noise which usually scares them off.
They also arnt brave enough to come out in the open like the one last night unless they are starving or ill. More than likely he is a young one who was exploring the area away from the woods.

There is a truck stop 1/4 mile from us and its a big one where they park truck and sleep over night as well as gas and food there. They have 20 outside garbage cans around the truck parking area which backs up to the field area where my dogs run. So he might have been looking for food scraps there.

Also almost everynight for the past 2 weeks we have had small flocks of geese land in the field to rest at night. They honk really loud so I know they're there. perhaps he is stalking them for a quick meal too?


Our first house in Florida backed up to a wild life preserve (no fences) and we had a cougar run through our yard alot. Wild boar too, deer all the time. Of course I didnt have dogs then either.
I had aflock of wild turkeys that came through every morning after the other animals. I soon could distinguish each ones personalities or markings and I named them all.
starting with Mickey, Minnie and right down the line. But sometimes a few would be gone, then babies would come and go as they were eaten by predators.

I love watching wild life.

I know to keep my distance but I am not afraid of any of them. we were raised out in the woods alot and my dad taught us how to be careful of wild animals, but enjoy them too.

So far this morning we have cougars, strep throat and nines! What an interesting bunch we have!

The DNR keeps saying there are no cougars in Michigan even though numerous sightings and pictures--from credible sources

Greg, I feel for you. It's alot easier to not spread amongst the older than with the younger.

Jaime, Finding the nine is driving me nuts! Wish I could be there to look! Swimming is such a great sport! It doesn't have to cost you a dime to have a great time!

Elizabeth came over while Stephanie was at the store. She found Scuttle in a Little Mermaid book and we had to find him in her bath toys!

I plan to stop back but if not we leave at 2:30. I'm going to cook some hotdogs, wrap, and take them to eat tonight.

Great, I am curious where we all stand.

I know Jaime has brought her total up a lot lately.
She has to be catching up some now.

[jollyg]

Well....did it help?

No, but they did take a nice expensive x-ray of my whole back just so they could tell me my back was "out of alignment"!

The chiropractor said he could get my back re-aligned for about $1400.00. I said "is that a money back guarantee?" he just smiled.

Ummmm, I counted 3543.

 

[dsparks]

Ummmm, I counted 3543.

If you keep egging her on, I wouldn't want to be around for her pay back. She'll take a picture of you on the cruise in a compromising position, or play a smart aleck joke on you. Believe me--she will. Greg T. has learned from the best!

Kathy, You never really said--did Greg enjoy his birthday. Dinner, cake, did he read his well wishes?

I opted to make PBJ's for dinner. I made a sack lunch for us.

Jaime's country can teach us a little on health care! Even with health insurance, I don't go because the co-pays add up so quickly!

Well, I better shut er down. I'll hop to the 08 before doing so!

I hope she tells me first before she takes the picture, so I can be sure it good and "compromising"!!

Hey nana's I need a little help with my next clue

That would scare me a little

I can see why you are angry though...that's alot of money though!

Have you ever done physical therapy?? My neck was out of whack once and cracking it around didnt work. I finally went to PT as a last resort and it was wonderful. It took 3 months to get it all worked out, but they taught me exercises to help strengthen the area too. So no relapses, no migraines and no pain either.

Back then it was $75 for a 30 minute visit without insurance.

It may not help with back alignments, but it might be worth asking sometime. They may at least be able to give you exercises to strenghten your back so it will make it stronger for the future.

Greg, you'd be wise to listen to this lady,
remember she has met me before, you havnt





Dawn,
yes he had a good birthday, cake was yummy and the dinner was good too. He didnt get to check out the on line wishes due to 5 phone calls wishing him a Happy Birthday the entire evening was gone.
I told him and he said he would check it out tonight and thank people for their BD wishes.

He spent some time talking with his mom to see if she had heard about our BIL yet. He had his appt with 2 surgeons and his Dr. to see of they were going to amputate his foot late yesterday. She hadnt heard anything which is NOT good news. Kay (sil) always calls her right away ater a dr. appt.

The pups even signed a card for him
