Happy Friday All

I know at least one, maybe two CDRs might be interested in this. A small group of us paddled in Southern Md yesterday near Calvert Cliffs in search of some fossilized shark teeth. The cliffs here on the Chesapeake Bay have layers and layers of fossilized vertebrate and inverts preserved in the deep clays. Wave action uncovers fossils on a daily basis.

Yes, we found a few teeth. Need to snap a nice pix of the ones I brought home.

Happy Friday
That's so cool. With all the paddling you do. You must have arms like Popeye!:)

Hello everyone gonna try and catch up here today ( maybe). Opo decided to come out of his hide around 11:30 am. Back in the day I would have been all worried that something was wrong with him. I don't fall for that anymore.
Hope everyone's weekend goes good.

Good morning!!

It’s been very emotionally draining around here.
We’ve attended 3 funerals in the past 3 weeks and I’m done!!
I’ve been banned from attending funerals. Y’all know how at weddings older folks will stop you and say, “Some day that will be you up there.”
Well at funerals I’ve started saying to older folks,”Some day that will be you up there.” Needless to say that is not always received well. LOL

Ok everyone here is a pic that is gross pic.
It blistered so I thought it might be a burn but couldn't remember burning myself.
Now after a week I think it might be a spider bite.
Any doctors on call?:)

Good afternooning all.

I am currently at the hairdresser getting my hair pruned. It’s got ridiculously thick.

Thos morning I was at the rescue cleaning, feeding and weighing hedgehogs and pigeons

This little guy is due for release with his family very soon. He’s one of 5 babies born in the rescue to a very attentive Mum. It’s impossible to photograph all 6 together [emoji1]

Your supposed to get points when you mention cheese. But @Tig

When you mention cheese your supposed to get points but @Tidgy's Dad is the only one to issue points. At least when I was reading the old scrolls that's how I interpreted it.
I really liked @Kristoff 's idea of adding ". . . if he exists!" behind Adam's name every time we use it. So, @Tidgy's Dad (if he exists) you'd better give Ray his cheesy points!!

My back is killing me. I think I'm finished for the day. I have a nice little bar shaped pillow that's filled with styrofoam beads and I sit in my recliner with that pillow across my lower back. M-m-m-m-m. . . feels so good!

Where have you been my friend??? How was your week? Nothing new. The 3 are safe and sound. I put them in just as the rain began when I got home earlier. I will check on them in a bit, but I feel pretty confident that the coop is safe.. I’ll let them out during the daytime again and hopefully I’ll can just lock them up at nights.. how is new school? Any leads on the government job???

Hi Heather, I’m still busy with freelancing or walking to the nearest thrift stores (3 miles away). I don’t feel well on buses, so I avoid them as much as I can.

Daughter loves her new school. She has a few good friends already, and the teacher seems positive and very experienced.

Still filing job applications.

Your hair does look thick and spiky in that picture.

We’ve put up a bird feeder that someone no longer wanted, but our resident sparrows didn’t mind that it’s old. It also got visited by a pair of blue jays — exciting! On the downside, those greedy sparrows finished the entire tower of food in 24 hours. [emoji33]

A clever squirrel follows the birds. They’re messy eaters, so it’s been busy keeping the ground clean under the feeder.
