I am convinced that the squirrels that inhabit my backyard are Generation X and/or Liberals! The varmits want something without working for it and slack off when things don't go as they planned!
Hubby hung up the Yankee Flipper squirrel-proof bird feeder (aka Jen's "Rodent Air Force Induction Center") several days ago and I've only seen one squirrel brave enough to try it more than once! The feeder is about 18" tall and the squirrel came down it head-first then landed on the ring part which twirls. He didn't stay on long. Then he came back and I saw him hanging on upside down on the ring going 'round and 'round till he was flung off. Hahahaha! I tried to get a pix, but my digital camera is a cheap POC and the pix was too dark.
I may 'lock' the ring part so it doesn't move and let the rodents eat from that feeder while lulling them into a false sense of security. Then I'll watch the fun as they learn about centrifugal force and gravity! (evil giggle...)
My day is going well. Just did my aquatic workout in the hot tub and had to come inside to cool off. Whew! I can't handle 102-degree water plus full sun for very long. But it sure felt good and I'm getting a tan! Just sitting in it and listening to the wind chimes and birds chirping is so relaxing physically and mentally. I LOVE my new hot tub/aquatic therapy spa.
I have scads of homework that is overdue! And housework. I've been freeping too much during the day and not doing what I need to be doing. ;-) So, I must get caught up or I'll be stuck inside all weekend instead of having fun with my family and friends.
Hope the Gurlz have a good time with the Bad Boyz tonight. I may pop in and see how the 'war' is going and give you Gals some air cover if y'all need it (which is doubtful...). hehehehe
I think he liked the idea of being in the cradle of such ancient history (he's a brain...). Most of the pictures he sent were of him at ANCIENT sites. He did a good job. At that time, USSR was still the bad guy. Sinop is on a little knob that sticks out into the Black Sea, and he did his spying from there. He got a medal and a commendation for something special he did there, but he never talks about it. He had a very high security clearance, and has never violated it, as far as I know. He's a geeky nerd, a mountain-biking fool, utterly fearless, and still my special buddy. We go back a long way...
'Be there, or be square', to coin a phrase. ;^)
Got a great thread in the makin' today. What better way to honor our military than to pay tribute to those who gave all.
Is there anything planned around your area for Memorial Day that I can take my kids to see? I was wondering if there is a place to take my kids to show them the ships, etc.
Jen, I think it is so funny that you are asking about eligible bachelors to contact you about your sis. That is exactly what my baby sister did to me. I guess she decided it was time for her 40 yr old sister to meet someone and settle down. She had been chatting with kneezles on a chat line and when I moved to Texas she asked him if he wanted to meet someone. So, he called me and we talked on the phone for several weeks. Then we met at a baseball game. (We both love baseball). When I walked up to the gate I knew exactly who he was. He was standing there with a rose. He really is romantic. And from there it is history. We met in July and were married in February. We've been married 3 1/2 years.
