I hope people understand when you say missed, they don't think you intentionally overlooked or ignored anything. There just is no way anybody can cover all the neat stuff about a state in the amount of space we have...

And it is truly a pleasure to find unique things to share with my FReeper family!

"You know I can't go easy on the hostesses. With all the compliments they receive there is a very real danger that their heads could get so large that they would eventually explode. I refuse to let that happen! :-)"

Whatever was I thinking, dear Thin Man?!!
Should have acknowledged you only point these out for their sakes; always striving to elicit Their Best and Phinest Efforts....
sigh... such a dedicated man you are.....

We had a bat get into our house too....and, wouldn't you know, it was on an evening when my husband was working late. I called him in a panic and he came home, but there was no way he could catch the thing, so he called the fire department. Seems they have a big net and are frequently called to remove bats from houses.

By the time they arrived the bat was hanging quietly from the ceiling in the living room and they managed to capture it. I missed the whole thing, as I was hiding out with my two brave dogs in the bedroom. LOL.

I refuse to let that happen! :-)

What a guy! We owe you such a debt of gratitude. LOL!

"The Flyboy's missus is, according to her doctor, suffering from a disgustingly normal pregnancy! She's due on the 12th, the full moon is on the 10th, his birthday is the 11th...and we're all on pins and needles!

I'll do a thread for all when our little one arrives!"

Oh, please do, Jinx! Everyone here is 'Family' and so glad to hear of new additions.
Mama_Bear, it was I who pointed out to Calpernia the new granddaughter of ladtx was born on Frankie's and your birthdays.

It's interesting, ladtx, that new ones often arrive around or on the birthday of another family member, such as Ashly on your mother's birthday.

My first son missed my mother's by three days - my second son missed his father's mother's birthday by one day - and there are several other similar happenings in my family tree.

As I pointed out on the other thread, Ashly was born in the very same military hospital as my third child and only daughter - one day after the date for Jennifer's arrival.

Had to explain yes, she is a 'Southerner,' too - the boys born in South Carolina and Virginia, and she in South Dakota...:))

That midi, rainmaker should be on the CD I sent you.

It did sound familiar. :-)

I had no idea that you just joined us in February. You seem like an old-timer. LOL.

Hi,LadyX!Hope your computer problems are improving!

[Mama_Bear]

Mama_Bear, it was I who pointed out to Calpernia the new granddaughter of ladtx was born on Frankie's and your birthdays.

Darn! I knew that....I also knew that Ashly was born on her great grandmother's birthday, not her grandmother's.......but I got that messed up too. Sorry you two, I am just making all kinds of mistakes today.

It's T Man's fault, he got me all flustered. :-(

[ladtx]

I also knew that Ashly was born on her great grandmother's birthday, not her grandmother's...

Her grandmother wishes Oct 1st was her birthday, actually Mrs ladtx birthday is April 15th. She always complains she never gets to enjoy it since Uncle Sam is taking our money on that day.(lol)

"Hope your computer problems are improving!"

Thanks, MEG.

Now it is just as slow as molasses in a snowstorm....think the ISP is trying to force us to accept their New Offer for an only slightly faster connection at a 'slight increase' in price.
Hate it when that happens, sailing along comfortably for a long time, they supposedly upgrade their system, and then they start locking the brakes, one notch at a time..:(

[Mama_Bear]

Now I want a tamale.

Oh no! I hope wolfie doesn't fight you for it. Did you happen to see the big brouhaha over the glazed donut a couple days ago? He got snarly and I got really growly. I threatened to sit on him.......it wasn't pretty. LOL!

Well, I can understand that. Sheesh! What a nice birthday gift each year. :-(

Good evening all. Thank you for the cyber tour of New Mexico, Mama_Bear. Lovely.

The Mayor, I was so touched by what your son did. Loving families are wonderful :-) My Prayers are with your friend.
