I need a Baltimore oriole bird.

You get that, Santa Louie? :)

[ST.LOUIE1]

Morning TLL! Oh, goodie! Another one!

: )

So cute!!

Just like you. : )

[Billie]

Hi, Dog! Still morning here for about 40 more minutes! You doing okay?! Nice seein' you!

[LadyX]

If you want more birds to watch, I recommend you have a frequently-replenished birdbath AND turn on a sprinkler with gentle spray near it!

They will come half a dozen at a time, co-existing while playing in it!
I also have a weighted animal feeding bowl on the ground for the neighborhood kitties and squirrels, all this under the shade of a large pecan tree.

We have a large variety of birds, but one of the robins who comes often stands out.
He is much larger than the others, and his favorite thing is to drink from and then hunker down in the LITTLE BOWL (6" square) and bathe endlessly, ignoring the others who pressure him to give them a turn!
It is so funny to watch him - named him 'The Intimidator.'

[ST.LOUIE1]

No, I'm at work right now =^(

Bummer! : )

[Billie]

Thanks for reminding us you'll be gone Friday - know you mentioned it earlier, but we'll still see you tonight and tomorrow, right?!

[Pippin]

Yep! i'll be here tonight and tomorrow.

Tell Louie to behave himself and stay out of trouble!

[Billie]

Uh-oh, I got your information wrong, then? I was the one who showed you as being in the U.S. Marines in that paragraph below the photograph. I'm sorry.

[ST.LOUIE1]

I need a Baltimore oriole bird.
You get that, Santa Louie? :)

How are you doing today?

Doing pretty good, Miss Clara. My tooth is a little sore, but not bad at all. Ya'll
ok today?

[Pippin]

Yep!

[Billie]

: ) Thanks!

Hey, how's Mits doing? I forgot to ask you after you got back from the vet for her checkup. Can I give her a SK-WEEEEEEEEZE?!

[dutchess]

"good luck kayaking...don't turn over"

don't turn over??? Yikes, what am I getting myself into???

Sigh...Mr. D. just arrived (he did give me an extra 10 minutes...the sweetheart!)
Signing off from the BC Public Library....

[Dog]

Doing good....:-)

You take care....:-)

[Billie]

The Intimidator! How cute! Bet it 'is' fun to watch!

[MeekOneGOP]

Yup! You're welcome - you got him in just under the wire!

Hope your jaw is doing much better! Hope Ming liked your thread yesterday and the flowers from Mama_Bear, too!

Whew ! I'm glad, then ! I already sent the link to this to Dad, Bro, et al. Thanks !
Ming loved the thread and the flowers and everything. Thanks, Mama_Bear.

The old tooth is a little sore, but not bad, considering they were using jackhammers,
files, grinders and dynomite on it less that 48 hours ago! LOL!

[Diver Dave]

Sorry about the dreaded red x. I'm still a HTML & Web rookie. :^)

Can I save it and use it? I want his name on it!

We'd be honored.

[Pippin]

Hi, DD!

[Joe Brower]

I wouldn't have put "US Marines" at the very beginning, but it certainly is no big deal. It can be confusing, since the USMC uses Navy corpsmen (unlike the other service branches who have their own medical corps).

FWIW, I considered myself to be more of a Marine than a Sailor, especially since I was the the USMC my whole tour. Actually, I enlisted in the Navy specifically to be a field medic, since I wanted to serve with ground forces yet did not want my primary directive to be killing people. Not that that prediliction would have proven to be any deterrent if the situation demanded it.
