[fatima]

[TASMANIANRED]

Raptor alert.

[TASMANIANRED]

Been practicing a lot of patience? LOL.

[Lady Jag]

I've never missed an opportunity to be a Smart Ash.

Ironic, I do, too, but call it "Smart Asset" because it is an asset, plus there was an Ash here who was banned. And them, sometimes I'm not smart, so it's better for me to say "asset". There's a point in there somewhere if you're willing to go back in.

[fatima]

What is a Raptor alert?

[TASMANIANRED]

Where do pets come from?


A newly discovered chapter in the Book of Genesis has provided the answer to "Where do pets come from?"

Adam and Eve said, "Lord, when we were in the garden, you walked with us every day. Now we do not see you any more. We are lonesome here, and it is difficult for us to remember how much you love us."

And God said, I will create a companion for you that will be with you and who will be a reflection of my love for you, so that you will love me even when you cannot see me. Regardless of how selfish or childish or unlovable you may be, this new companion will accept you as you are and will love you as I do, in spite of yourselves."

And God created a new animal to be a companion for Adam and Eve.

And it was a good animal.

And God was pleased.

And the new animal was pleased to be with Adam and Eve and he wagged his tail.

And Adam said, "Lord, I have already named all the animals in the Kingdom and I cannot think of a name for this new animal."

And God said, " I have created this new animal to be a reflection of my love for you, his name will be a reflection of my own name, and you will call him
DOG."


And Dog lived with Adam and Eve and was a companion to them and loved them

And they were comforted.

And God was pleased.

And Dog was content and wagged his tail.


After a while, it came to pass that an angel came to the Lord and said, "Lord, Adam and Eve have become filled with pride. They strut and preen like peacocks and they believe they are worthy of adoration. Dog has indeed taught them that they are loved, but perhaps too well."

And God said, I will create for them a companion who will be with them and who will see them as they are. The companion will remind them of their limitations, so they will know that they are not always worthy of adoration."

And God created CAT to be a companion to Adam and Eve.



And Cat would not obey them. And when Adam and Eve gazed into Cat's eyes, they were reminded that they were not the supreme beings.

And Adam and Eve learned humility.

And they were greatly improved.


And God was pleased.

And Dog was happy.


And Cat didn't give a #hit one way or the other.

Boy can I relate to the ball in the house and the glue bit. Long ago this happened at my house with a lamp and siblings. *sigh* Do NOT play with a ball in the house. LOL!

[fatima]

Ah he's easy now.I give him anything he wants and he does the same for me.

[TASMANIANRED]

I think it is a regional colloquialism..

Best to let it drop.

[TASMANIANRED]

My Mr. thinks I'm being an asset even when I don't think I am.

I really think it is unfair.

[TASMANIANRED]

Now that is a interesting Mama Duck.

If you look at Connie's bird in the tree....Predator eating prey...

[AZamericonnie]

I believe it is a Harris Hawk. I know someone who volunteers at a native bird & animal rescue. He released two hawks here years ago. This is the little one. That mesquite tree is his favorite place to eat his prey.

I can't remember what the other was called be he is MUCH larger! They are absolutely fascinating to watch.

[fatima]

The wind seems to have died down here.

[HiJinx]

Best to let it drop.

TFPA!!!

[HiJinx]

It's probably a Red-Tailed Hawk.

Those are the two most common hawks here in the state.

[Lady Jag]

Does this help at all? I'm heading out for groceries.

[TASMANIANRED]

My ball in the house story.

I was a newly wed, stopped by my Mom's house after work.

She used to watch my 2 year old nephew. He was playing with a tennis ball.

He threw it and hit me square in the eye.

I was wearing hard contacts. The pain was exquisite.

When my hand went to my eye, I noticed something definitely wrong.

My mascara stuck to the tennis ball and it snatched every one of them out.

I didn't know if my eye ball or my eye lid hurt worse.

Went to ER. Cornea was cut.

I asked the MD if my eye lashes would grow back.

He said " I don't know, I've never seen an injury like this before".

I went to Walgreen's cosmetics, peeled my patch off and begged for help.

The very nice lady that was working there. Selected me a pair of falsies and cut them down to match my other eye.

After my mandatory time patched, every day I got up and peered in the mirror looking for red eyelash stubble before pasting on my falsie.

Took about 6 weeks and I finally saw a tiny bristle of eye lashes peeking out.

[Lady Jag]

I would.
