And top of the mornin to ya'll.

I hope that everyone had a good day yesterday. The sun is out again and the world is smiling (well that is what I am saying it is doing and I am sticking to it!!) I am over tired today and seem to have verbal diarrhea. So my poor colleagues. Will have to sit and listen to me talking too much today. I will have to go for a walk during my lunch time just so that they can get a break.

By the way the Snow leopard has asked if we could bring more carrots for her. I did bring some this morning, but apparently 1 carrot is not enough. Maybe I should have given it to Adam, he has magic fingers and is able to make 1 thing turn into a lot of things.;)

The Woolspider (If she exists) seems to have knitted something really strange and left it in corner no. 13. I am not sure what it is, but it seems to have about 8 attachments and a big round middle. It is almost as if it is supposed to be able to fit a octopus and is intended to be a jersey for it. Anyway I have never seen anything like it and I wonder why she (if she exits) is knitting things like that. Are we expecting an octopus to be joining the ranks of animals who reside down here in the Cold Dark Rooms? Anybody know anything about this?

Kat and Anne, I am feeling the need to see some more pictures of your beautiful or handsome ? bearded dragons. Would you be kind enough to post a picture of them for me. Maybe something where they are doing a cute pose or a weird pose.

Cathie, Doc, Heather, Ray, Adam, Mark would you be kind enough to post your most favorite picture of one of your animals. I would love to see some nice pics of our favorite animals. Doesn't matter which one, but choose one and post it.

Yvonne I know your picture will be of Misty as that is your favorite one and Maggie I am not sure which of your animals is your favorite one. So here is an opportunity for you to let us know which one you tend to favor the most.
I will be posting some pics of my bowsprit gang as per Heather's request.

Anybody seen Montgomery? I really really need some coffee. Oops (I look around to see if Linda is paying attention to what I am doing) mmmmm I wonder if Linda has given Montgomery strict instructions to not give me any coffee. .....okay okay I will take hot tea then. Maybe a creme Brule flavor. Yummmy

Oh just want to let you guys know as well that the hedgehogs are currently in corner 3, I stepped on one and now I have to put a plaster on the bottom of my foot. Don't worry she is totally fine. I checked to make sure that I did not hurt her. But she was very angry with me. So I high tailed it out of corner 3. So maybe stay away from corner 3 for a little while. Just until she calms down again.

Oh and the government has lifted the ban on selling alcohol and cigarettes so I will see you all at the bar tonight to have a celebratory drink and maybe even a puff of smoke. Just because I can.

Okay let me stop talking and let you all get a word in edgewise. ?
Here is a pic of my only pet!
Hope your foot feels better.

Good Mornynoon, Racy Roommates!
Today is International Bad Poetry Day!

Roses are Red,
Gernaiums are Blue.
I love Cheese,
But I don't like you!
There was once a ugly fellow
Who owned a bird that was yellow
One day this bird left a turd
On the ugly fellows pillow ?

A long time co-worker of mine was Found shot and killed Friday afternoon (In his Company vehicle in the middle of the day) in what appeared to be some kind of robbery.. I didn’t know him well in spite of all the years that we had worked together (geographic reasons) but he was a very knowledgeable man and had helped me more than a couple times. He could have retired years ago but yet remained in the industry because he was passionate about what he did.. I hurt at the thought of what his family must be feeling... I’m not sure what’s going on in the world today, but I refuse to be a part of the hate... This is not what I want for my children.. That being said, There is a song out on the radio now pertaining to Just this and it really touches me so I thought I would share...

Oh Lord I'm sorry. Not only for his family, but for you. That's something traumatic whether or not you knew him well. That's a bad thing

Ray! Ray Ray, get away from using checks!
I am 75 yrs old and got my first check book ever in 2000. I still write checks, because of my then life style I never had a checking account, but now I do have one and sometimes it actually has money in it. I love writing checks. I have a lady who handles my finances, but I handle all the stuff pertaining to my car, so I write 2 checks a month, could I pay on-line? Yep, but writing checks makes me feel normal and adult...I think lol

So true!!! My dad told us.....
when you write checks it’s like growing up and being adult.
Now… When you pay things online I’m so scared that people can easily get your bank account information your Social Security number the size of your foot the width of your *** and all sorts of information about you !!!!????
but !!????.......
it does save a lot of time .....And stamps!!!
I don’t know about you guys but my post office has a lot of mean workers. You wait an hour for one stamp and they give you attitude!!??? Guess that’s part of being an adult??????? ???

I only buy one carrot at a time and wifey has eaten it.
No idea about the octopus. The jellyfish are wondering if octopi eat jellyfish. Perhaps it's a communal jumper for four people to keep warm in winter.
Animal photo coming soon.
Montgomery has been supplying The One-Legged Pirate with rum but is back now with my coffee, which is a relief.
The hedgehogs are also in corner 5.
OW!

The problem, as I see it, are the hedgehogs are running loose, the maid is sleeping on the mop, and the mice ran away with the cheese
