:sad1: I'm missing the Moose Dropping Festival this weekend...

It's Moose Dropping Festival time in Talkeetna

(07/11/08 02:04:31)
A ton of shellacked poop hits the ground this weekend in honor of Talkeetna's Moose Dropping Festival, which this year marks the 90th anniversary of the Dough Boys' return (see below). Each year the festival draws thousands north for music, food, crafts and the chance to win prizes.

• HOW THE MOOSE DROP WORKS: Buy a ticket for $5 with a number that corresponds to a number on a moose pellet. At 6 p.m. Saturday, the netted poop -- yeah, it's real --is dropped from a high tower onto a X. Prizes are awarded based on how close to the X the pellet falls. "It's very light," said Carroll Carroll of the Talkeetna Historical Museum. "If there's any wind blowing at all, God only knows where the stuff is going to land." So in case of wind, bring goggles.

• OTHER FESTIVAL HIGHLIGHTS: What may be Alaska's shortest parade route starts at noon Saturday on Main Street, following the 5K fun run/walk that morning. You can take the historic walking tour and participate in the moose-poop toss game.

• THE DOUGH WHO? The Doughboys, for all those born after 1930, was the name given to the American Expeditionary Force of World War I.

• THE MOUNTAIN MOTHER CONTEST: Held at 1 p.m. Sunday, this obstacle course for moms involves a doll with a giant head, a backpack, several long-handled axes, fishing poles, pie pans, bows and arrows and a live grizzly bear. OK, there's no bear but all the other elements combine to make this contest one to watch and one to try if you're female with kids. Consider it an Alaska rite of passage.

Now aren't those Alaskans creative? Or do they have way too much time on their hands? Ummmmm

:goodvibes :hug: :goodvibes , stacey..girl....you are very brave..,
confronting your fears..while comforting those..trying to cope with
great losses.


..ahhhhhh, nothing i 've said..about my lil'sweetie...was made up.

..she is alot more than i could ever described...* still like everyone else,

..she has her ways....the most amzing..thing..i can tell you about her,
she has..stuck with me ..in all these years. :angel: .she recently told
me...why?...***...i was always..trying to imporve my ways of thinking.

,,,by golley....if i find..a new /easier way..of living life.."iam all for changing
..to it". iam flab-ber-gasted..how many chose..to live life....without
experiencing ..all the wonders..around them. day by day.

nor....be mislead....if any insights..are deem special, they are the
results..from those caring enough..to share.

...when i read...alot of the dynamics..here, & taking..a few steps back...

...there were no "wrongs"..just a few misunderstandings...& som just....
from a lack of knowlwedge/or experiences.

..it is a fact..our worst fights..thru the years..were over stupid stuff that
had no meanings....or misunderstandings. * the last time..i decided to give
it..a try. wait honey, ...are you thinking...",,," ? her reply was swift as it
was with emphases>>>"NO"! ....then we....:lmao: . what..i beleive ..in
life rules..God..repeated patterns..that set things..in motion. [ while i
have no idea..why? ...i think the primary purpose/s was to provide us
...choices...& directions..to developed..our ways of thinking..above all
other life forms.] weather..or not..we ever figure out our human values
..is subject to change. anyhoo...reading the interacting...was like watching
..differnt weather patterns..intensify..and heading to a stormy day.
however, it also....revealed..alot of caring and sharing ...a learning
experience....that i believe...leading to greater apprication. :grouphug:


......* i am funny..like that..., in that i come to accept...growing thru
life..challenges...can also bring some our most cherrish memories.
:wizard: ..now, when you "think" ...my all time favorite..disney movie
..is the sword & the stone...will defined..my type of thinking. esp. about
love. " whoever..came up with the illustrations..about the squirrels'
scene....knew...the grace of God. " [ someone i would..have had like
to shared...carnal knowledge with." ].. .one my hope..is that we don't
have someone...forgetting..there are real~people..bringing the disney's
characters..to life. [ that happened one cruise, it made....me :sad1:





ok..who gave the lecture..of dcl? :thumbsup2 ..yes, people, we`

going...as ...a :grouphug: ....also ..will have..a "major choice"..to make
this cruise..special...for everyone...if the choices are made..to
respect & share..all the lil'things...that make..up our world. as this
is true, for..all cruises. [ i don't kno about others, but...i :mad: ..wasting
,..even a second.....of...joy..on things..i don't want to remember.



thru...alot ..this....:grouphug: of pirates..have stuck together..you all
should..be very proud...what you have accomplished. that is what i think.


:yay:

yeah, crash....i do..respect..."you"..from the times..i watched...how much
you cared for your family..and the ways...you go..out to help anyone.
especially children. but you're off..the mark..* if it wasn't for my lil'miss
..i would never been..on a disney cruise. * in the early..years..i wasn't
a disney fan..at all..only after...dragging/& :snooty: ..."i figured...might
as well....try..to fnd....something....i could..enjoy....* then it came
from..the last place..i was expecting...the kids! & strangers.

..as one getting older...one forgets..about styles & peers impressions.
....& @ work..i am motivated..by learning the easy ways...which..are
also the ways...the things "work"...@ producing..the desire results.

which explains..my feeling..that while walt..in~deeds, gave disney its
intended..purposes, all of us..have an obligation to support and share
the meanings..we receive..everytime..we go. theree's alot here...
with that understanding..as you demonstrated youe caring attitudes...
& that can't be wrong.


* as for me, i kno./..i've..got my own..set of challenges...as the world
i experienced..every day..is alot misery in crises..and i got..to watch
my .." lango"....so if i spiel..the wrong word..jus hint, because..it's
not my desire..esp.., if front..of any..lil'ones.

oh..dear mismce..i hope..my joking..didn't dent your "wendy" feelings..

:flower3: ..* let me share...., if you care?...one evening..when i first started
in intnesive care..all of our clients..were spanish~american veterans...talk
about history coming to life. double oh's,+ booty if our dear lil' M..is wearing
her..'tinker bell's leafs...me think..i am sneaking..over to early...:tink:

* no rooms yeti!


pixiedust: ..to all....[ i might be crazy..but i like you'all!] * esp. all the
wenches...no reason, needing stated, :rolleyes1



&&&, if my lil'cutie,,catches..me telling..our stories..i might need my
paper sack...extender..for another purpose...to hide~:laughing:

...& the "space"..under..the bed, if available? :hippie:

We too are loyal Verizon customers. We're sort of "LOCKED IN" with them on account of thier FREE CALLING provision between Verizon customers. You see - we have a situation where EVERYONE in our family and MANY of ous business connections have REALIGNED to all have Verizon cell service.... so we WILL NOT use anything but Verizon now. So ... C'mon Apple .... and open up your relationships with other carriers - like Verizon - and I will probably run out to stand in line too for the next generation I-phone!

Me, too . .you can't beat the incalling plan. For years all of our friends and many of our business associates were on Nextel with the direct connect. Sometimes it was the only way to get ahold of folks. Now, I do more minutes (sometimes double) with the incalling on Verizon than I do regular minutes. It's nice that I know I call DH and talk all I want it and it doesn't cost a thing . . .LOL

So, maybe if we beg and plead with APPLE, they will release AT&T and move on to a better provider. I don't think they have same monopoly in Europe . . .why not in the US ,too.

I should have changed some of the wording in my previous posting - however, it suffices to say I'm very happy to be a PAST active volunteer with MAW. I would be active today but I just am BARELY treading water with my obligations now - having 2 kids and a wonderfully wacky (and demanding) spouse. However, when I get enuf free time again my favorite charitable organization to help is MAW.



No problem...I totally understood. Just thanking you for your work with them, whether past, present or future :thumbsup2



If you want..PM me and give me an idea what kind of picture you want and what you want on it..I can try and do one for yuo and send it via email.



Sounds like fun...we need a So. CA mini-meet....


Just back from a dream dinner session...I love going in the morning because we are only one of 2 people there...we move quickly! Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Thank you for the offer....when I can clear my brain to ponder some idea's I just may send them your way!
