I was just remembering a story from years ago about an ex girlfriend.
She knew that I would take in wounded/stray animals and try to help them out (Like her)
One day she came home and excitedly told me that she saw a bird fall out of its nest and she remembered not to touch it and contaminate it with human scent. And that she gave it some strawberry cookies that she had with her.
Strawberry cookies on the ground with a baby bird? Fire ants in Florida? As I suspected, we arrived back to see the skeleton of a bird.
I still don't know why I find that story to be amusing.o_O

The fire ants must have been happy to have the main meal and the dessert o_O

Morning, Ed!

Good morning CDR

Happy Advent!

Here in the UK we have Advent Calendars where you open a numbered window each day until Christmas Eve. Depending on your calendar, there's a picture or a treat, behind the window. Do you have these in the US too?

@johnandjade I hope your tooth is sorted today.

I'm pleased to report that it's a little warmer than yesterday

Good morning, Linda!
Happy first day of December.
No advent here, of course. And no Christmas. And New Year's is seen by some individuals as an evil Western influence. We're such a fun bunch in winter, you see. :D
Good afternoon, Lena. :)
Happy December.
Christmas is not seen as an evil influence here, but most people think it's the same thing as New Year. So the shops sell "Bonne Année" trees and decorations and they may have "Bonne Année" parties. I've actually had to argue with several people that Christmas is the 25th of December, not January the First. :rolleyes:
