"WELCOME TO JSM'S BEGGING FOR BANNING THREAD #3

[Leroy]

Help, could someone tell what to do. The one fire alarm on the ceiling when you go up the stairs, has now given off two beeps, I know what that means, but Zoe doesn't    she is shaking and hiding in the closet. I'm going to get a step stool and pray I can reach, do I just take the battery out? If that's what I should do tell me, and then I will and wait until my husband gets home and let him fix it. 

Probably needs a new battery.Mine chirps when the battery gets low.


You aren't cooking are you?

Obama and Mexico, Canada leaders launch talks

In a separate meeting with Calderon, Obama voiced strong support of the offensive, but Calderon expressed concerns about delays in the latest installment of U.S. aid under the $1.4 billion Merida Initiative, a U.S. official reported. The money's been held up by allegations of human rights violations.

Calderon also pressed Obama on allowing Mexican trucks access to U.S. highways, said the official, who briefed reporters on condition of anonymity to describe the private talk. Mexicans are convinced the U.S. limits are less about safety — their stated reason — than protecting American hauling companies from competition under the NAFTA free trade accord.

Also unlikely to be resolved at the summit were objections from both north and south of the border about the "Buy American" provisions in Obama's stimulus plan.

And immigration remained a sore spot. While Obama has said he'd like to start crafting an overhaul that legalizes millions of Mexican immigrants, there's little chance of Congress acting this year, since even top administration priorities like health care and climate policy are moving slowly amid heated partisan debate.

This is an issue that needs attention now, if you ask me, but of course it doesn't matter, they will do what they want anyway

She did, but she is back under again    I took the battery out, but now when a bird chirps loudly she thinks it is the fire alarm

Well I will now water my plants, I just called Terminex again to spray for ants in the yard, I'm just going to put a cot in the yard for him. The lady I talked to said it is a very bad year for ants

OMG how funny, the dog's expression reminds me when we had our cat and the two of them would line up for a treat, and when Koshka would get her treat, Zoe would look the other way just like that

  Josef gives that look too, when he wants a greenie and only gets dog food.

JSM - glad to hear you got a 5.0 and the bewbs behaved.  I knew you would be fantastic. Really want to see the video!

Trimm - I have been praying for you and your neighbours. 

Fanny - read your post.  Hope that is not your last. 

I have had a crazy busy weekend.  First my daughter convinced me to go on a bike ride with her.  I have not been on a     for about 10 years.  So I think we are going for a nice leisurely ride down to the lake .  WRONG!!!! She starts a new school in 2 weeks and wants to ride there.  It is about 7.5 Km there and 7.5 km back .  That translates to about 9.5 miles AND we have to go through a river valley to get there.  So there is no easy ride one way or the other as we have to go up a hill both ways crossing the river.  My knees were screaming when I got home.  Yesterday my youngest decided that since he skipped bike riding 101 and went straight to skateboarding  and rollerblading he wants to learn to ride a bike.  So there is me out in the field with him running behind him while he is learning.  Problem is everytime I let go and he can not hear my footsteps (not hard as the ground stops shaking when I stop running) he stops peddling.  After the first hour of this and me wanting to call 911 for the heart attack I am sure is to follow he has one of the slow motion crashes.  He turns around to see where I am , turns the handlebars too sharp, bike stops instantly and back end gets airborne, he is still holding handlebars, does a full air flip over handle bars, chest lands on tire and flips on his back.  So there is me carrying the bike back home as the handlebars are totally backwards and the brake cable somehow got under the frame and I can not get them turned around for the life of me.  He was fine, just scared and I was ready to drop.  I get to the house and the older two are there like they have ESP  and are waiting to see what kind of mess I have gotten myself into now  .  My youngest tells his big brothers that he had a awesome crash and high fives them while I am checking my pulse.

Hunt For Acid-Spitting Mongolian Death Worm
10/08/2009

ARMED with explosives, two men are heading to Mongolia's Gobi Desert to find the fabled acid-spitting and lightning-throwing Mongolian death worm.

The worm has never been documented but some Mongolians are convinced it exists. They call it Allghoi Khorkhoi, or "intestine worm" because it resembles a cow's intestine and is about 1.5m long.

The worm apparently jumps out of the sand and kills people by spitting concentrated acid or shooting lightning from its rectum over long distances, NZPA reports. (Seriously.)

New Zealand journalist David Farrier, who is organising the expedition, and cameraman Christie Douglas, leave this week to spend two weeks in the Gobi, trying to verify the worm's existence and making a documentary about it.

Farrier said he had always been fascinated by cryptozoology, or the search for hidden creatures.

The expedition and documentary would take a serious look at the worm and what it was, Farrier said.

He said he was interested in the death worm because it was one of the most outrageous creatures that were rumoured to exist.

However, it was also one of the mythical creatures that had a better chance of being real.

We all need to let our kids experience nature.

Need an animal friendly fire alarm?  This one works best AND you get a snack when it is done!  How great is that?
