[jerseyangel]

Yes, I've noticed this side effect also . . . also the superfluous U that Nikki requires us to use often pops up in me spelling. I leave it "in" on my other board posts but try to remove it on me personal emails and such.

It spills over in me speech too.

Mark has told me that pretty soon I'm gonna phorget how to speak proper English

[Jestgar]

. . ....'tis -8 here,

Is that a temperature? Or what the average IQ becomes in the winter?

That is a Redheaded Woodpecker (could you have guessed?) They are year round residents here, and you may see them in Penn. in the summer. they like wooded areas. We were thrilled to see them in the yard last summer!

Theresa,

I didn't think the rump looked right but i'll get my bird book as we do have them in PA and usually alot at our feeders. We get 4 species + the pilliated which is one of my favorites.

I'm sure your right about the Redheaded being it.

The never could figure out why the redbreasted has the red head too and the breast not so much.

We had a nest and 3 fledgling redbreasted 2 years ago. was fun to watch.

I have photos on another site if you want to see the great photos my hubby took.

i could pm you to photo site.

thanks for the 'potty' support......damn this gets soooooooooooooo old doesn't it.

oh well, was good for the most part on the trip to CA where i knee high in gluten everyday so .........life is good most days. what more can we ask for right?

Judy

Judy!!! That is FanParkingTastic!!!!! . . . sorry about the backfire tho.

Sun is shining here, too . . . we're above freezing . . . YeeHaw!!!

The redbellied woodpecker is one of me favoUrite visitors to my feeder but he doesn't come too often . . . got some new suet two days ago - it has dehydrated bugs in it - I'm hoping to get me bug eaters to visit more often. Anybody have a recommendation on how to get rid of the starlings??? They clean me out. The only thing that seems to work is to let the feeder set empty for a week or so and then they seem to move on. I hate to do it, but the other birds aren't really coming anyway when the starlings are monopolizing the feeder.

Judy!!! That is FanParkingTastic!!!!! . . . sorry about the backfire tho.

JOOOOODITH! Six weeks smoke-free - - Good fer you!! How are you doing it? Cold turkey? The patch? Other meds? Sooooo happy for you . . .. . ....Keep it up, girl!!

It's Superbowl Sunday!!!!!!!! Anybody else going to watch besides me and Tom?? (Tom, I assume you are going to watch?)

Will go and watch some of it with my dad in his hospital room, on his li'l TV. I think I'll bring everyone with me, and it shall be a big blast.....we'll draw the big curtain around, start hooping and hollering from within, throwing popcorn, cracking out the coolers. . .. . . ...

Theresa, what is mail merging?? Should I be doing that, merging mail? It sounds like something that is missing in my life, something I need to do....I just don't know what it is exactly...

Yes, I quite concur. . . . . . Mail Merging sounds fascinating, perhaps a little naughty, and something I need to be incorporating into my life.

Tareeesuh, it doesn't involve whips and/or chains, does it? And we are talking consenting adults, yes?

.........life is good most days. what more can we ask for right?

Judy

Joooodeigh, you are SO right.

Just heard one of me favorite recent songs on the radio, by a great young Canuck singer.... .. ...just looked for the video...it's quite phunny and wunnerful:

Nikki is off the weed?!?!

I can so envision you all doing this too

OMG I love Amanda Marshall!!! I had her first album that came out.....what was that back in 1996 I think? It was so FABULOUS. Then she kind of disapeared on the music scene here. Good to see her still doing music, such powerful pipes on that girl.

Loved it, Em!!! . . . isn't it a shame that you can't see videos on TV any more???

[Green12]

Jess! Meant to say earlier how lovely you look in your avatar

And Bunnie, how is it going at work with your.....unpredictable shall we say, GI symptoms? You haven't mentioned anything lately so I assume all is well?

on the sun shining for all

[Green12]

. . . isn't it a shame that you can't see videos on TV any more???

So true, how is it that MTV (Music Television) has no music actually on it anymore

[harp1]

Music is my life so a big topic - watching Victor Borge do his music/comedy routine . Haooy Superbowl - hoop and holler and crash in that hospital room!Susan

[curlyfries]

Ptaoughmghmnuss, this is the recap of recaps. .. . .

I agree!!!!....I think Ptaughmus needs to be our new summarizer!

It spills over in me speech too.

Mark has told me that pretty soon I'm gonna phorget how to speak proper English

I often catch myself putting in "me" where other less enlightened people would not!

Congratulations, Judy!....Me husband quite several years ago........nothing short of miraculous!

I will probably hang close to the tube to catch the commercials

Sunshine here, too. ......but snaux predicted for this week

Yes, the hazards of Psillyville.......

Gawd, as long as I never walk into a class and announce, "Right, then! I'll just get me papers together, and we'll practice those possessive pronouns"... . . . ..

That'd be not so good. . . . . . ..

Hi Juudes! Am ALWAYS interested in bird sightings/fotos!! We don't see many of the redheaded around, hence the excitement. Did not ever see any in NY, so this was a new bird for us. We also have red bellied (many) that like our feeders, as well as downies and harries. There are several Pileated that we hear more than we see...but I have some good pics of those, too. Also have sapsuckers and yellow bellies hanging around. We just love it! Not to mention all of the other yard birds here. We like to hike and go birding, but have not had many opportunities since we moved to WV. Something to look forward to.

[flourgirl]

Jewels.....I know what you mean about losing posts/replies. I'm pretty good at that, too. I can't fight my way out of into a wet majik tryangle

Mail merge is....suppose you have a form letter (labels, postcards, whatevah), that needs to be mailed to many (or even several) people. Rather than retype the letter over and over for each one....you type ONE letter and embed fields into the letter, create a list or table of all the info you need, such as, names, addresses, phone numbers, any information at all. You can even sort the information on the tables in different ways. So, you have one form that you can use over and over by just changing the information in the fields. Now THAT'S Majik!

What comes to mind is all of that GJUNK mail we get that has our names and addresses on them. They are not retyping all of those letters...they use mail merge! On a BIIIIGGG skale!

I hate to do it, but the other birds aren't really coming anyway when the starlings are monopolizing the feeder.

As you can see, I'm catching up piecemeal here. We put out Suet, too. My telehubby made an upside down suet holder so the woodpeckers can eat it, but the other birds (can you say winged rodents?) can't get at it. Fun to watch them try, though. If you have a hopper feeder, you can create an overhang that allows the smaller birds to feed, but crowds the starlings and grackles. They don't seem to like it. No other suggestions come to mind right now. I agree, I hate to let the little guys starve, waiting out the starlings.

Shoot---------

Lost my long post ck'n who said what

who cares really.............

Just wanted to say i so appreciate your kind words and support.

I've quit before for 6 years and then my Dad died suddenly and so............started it again.

then taught 'fresh start' stopping classes at the hospital for 4 years........hell you'd think I'd get it done and over with

I pray this will be it. I got asthmatic bronchitis and had stopped a few days before that but it was too scary to ignore so................just went cold turkey. Being sick did help the few weeks I must say.

I guess you've noticed i haven't been posting much......well I smoked at the computer while talking to me sillies...........it was too hard to sit here at the computer sucking Altoids..........so just avoided the room. Also i knew in CA there wouldn't be a place i could smoke anywhere so just decided it was time.

I sure pray it takes this time. The bad thing is I don't really WANT to quit.........i just don't want to get breathing problems like i had with the asthmatic bronchitis..........so..............that has to be the motivator.

Janet how is your Mom?

Keep asking but did Tom get any news yet on his Mayo tests?

where is Sarah?

Like little peanut Susie q..........he/she is a cutie. glad he's settled in.

Theresa, will send a link in pm

Nikki, have fun in Dad's hospital room. Hope the room mate is deaf or hard of hearing

Judy

[flourgirl]

Judes...hi. I quit for 2 years before we moved. With all of the upheaval and changes I stated back up. It wasn't the first time I quit, either. They say that it often takes a number of times quitting to get it to stick....but if you've quit for 4 years, I KNOW you can do it again. I know what you mean about not wanting to quit. Sometimes (not all of the time) I REALLY enjoy a good smoke! I only smoke outside, and only 1/2 pk or less, so I (try to) convince myself it's not so bad. My Dad quit smoking when he retired (also a "light" smoker). I know he still sneaks one now and then...but he's in his 80's and in excellent health.

Anyway...all I'm trying to say is...I can sympathize...I'm pulling for you and wishing you much strength and good luck!
