Shannone,
That is so cool! I checked it out and I'm considering the Atlanta one. I requested info from their site. I see where we can do it as a family team and it sounds like a lot of fun but also a lot of work I see that the minimum age is 10 so DS will qualify.

Were there many families participating in your event last year?

Are you talking about volunteering ?? You have to be 16 to actually do the walk and be in camp. There are volunteers that do other things like cheer stations and give people bottles of water and stuff like that. There were a couple of boy scout troops that came in and helped set up our tents which was AWESOME !! After walking 20 miles we did not want to have to figure out that tent, lol.

This thread has turned into peeing and beer..or is it the beer first and then the peeing?...Hmm...sort of a chicken or the egg kind of thing?

While your cat is batting around ping pong balls...my cat Ojo, the one eyed wonder, brought home his first "kill". He decided to walk in the back door with what was the hugest bird I've ever seen. Swear to God..I thought it was a rooster or something. It made a huge "thud" when he dropped it on the kitchen flloor.

Our cats(we have 2)have each brought us birds that were still alive. Twice I have had to chase birds around my house trying to get them out. My DH just watches and laughs at me as I run around with potholder gloves on.(men)

Nice,,,Heres my shovel. The orange one is the way I bought it. The guy had the original black tanks and fenders still so I put those on after a year or so. I think its looks pretty good for 28 yrs old. Actually in the picture in black it's about 25 and in orange about 22.

Domino, the black and white cat that does the ping-pong balls is strictly an inside cat, much to the Bride's dislike. He has gotten out occasionally.

One time he got out, he zoomed into the back yard and caught a chipmunk. It wasn't Chip or Dale, so we let him have his fun. I know he'd be the terror of the local wildlife if he was an outside cat. I also know he'd be dead by now from being hit by a car or taken by a member of the local hawk families living around here.

One day I was sitting in a chair at the kitchen table when he was chasing a fly. He jumped at least as high as my head in the middle of the kitchen, attempting to catch that fly.

Occasionally assorted lizards will make their way into the house. I know because I get to pick up the dead and dessicated bodies and throw them away.

We live in the middle of a bunch of farm fields, so when they are cut/tilled or the weather turns cold, all the little micies make their way in the house to warm up and stay safe. So we have a cat that is an amazing mouser, she takes up out right away. The only problem that we have with her is that she will play with it for a while, catch it, bat it around, let it go, catch it again... until it dies. Then and only then she will eat only the head, and leave the decapitated carcass for us to clean up.

The freaks my wife out, but tell her the cat likes the heads,

They are crunchy on the outside, and chewy in the middle....

These use to hold some humor...not so much anymore. Well, maybe a little. These are from 2 or 3 years ago when gas went to $2.00 or more a gallon:

Good morning peoples!

My cat once woke me up from a sound sleep with a loud meow. As I glanced over at her I realized she was intently staring at the wall behind my head. I immediately jumped up and looked and there was a 7 foot spider with 12 inch teeth crawling down the wall towards my pillow! (may be a slight exaggeration...but this all happened about 10 years ago). My hero-feline was able to keep the monster at bay while I ran screaming to DH who promptly ran in and squished it with a tissue. So I guess it wasn't as big as I remember. But it could have crawled in my mouth if the cat wasn't there to save me! She is an indoor cat who can only hunt flies and drool out the window at chipmunks but she is forever my hero and has earned her place on my pillow at night.

I think we may be in summer mode here. Unless people get really lit up, we won't have many 300 post nights/days until the fall or maybe around Memorial Day or July 4th -- oh yeah, lit up covers that too.
