Got the calculator last night at Staples.  It was on sale for $249 and they had two left.  Thank you for the offer Mission, that was so kind of you to think of us.

I feel like a insta-bank right now.

Daughter brought home note from Gym teacher - Sweats $30, shorts $20, T-shirt $10 = $60
Band (even though she has her own flute and is taking it to school - $30
So there goes another $90 out the door this morning

Youngest came home with some of his as well, milk tickets for the month -$15
Hotdog lunches once a month for 4 months - $15.40
Agenda - 10.00
there goes another $40

So this morning I am $130 for notes and $249 for calculator - which is $379 is 24 hours.  Can not wait to see what they bring home today.  Still not gotten the invoices for the school fees or any of the field trip notes. 

  Holy smokes they are robbing you blind at that school

I can just picture Spider Lady doing that 

She would dress in black leggings and a black t shirt, and take the stuff off the curb at night. Like she was some kind of cat burgler.

Sorry No Rose but rhubarb is done for this year.  I cut the last batch last weekend and made a strudel.  If we wait a week my apple cider will be ready and I can bring a carboy (60litres) of that along     My Buffalo berries are ready so I could bring a buffalo berry pie ?

What is a buffalo berry?

[joesamas mama]

Need to go take out the one trellis and put up the other before the heat kicks in, then move everything again to the other side of the garage  and take a look at some more boxes out there. Wish the jet would get here quick so I don't have to do any of this 

Don't work too much.

A potato gun sounds like fun 

It is.  The older boys made it quite a few years ago.  Really simple and hours of fun. 

It looks like the first one is this video

What is a buffalo berry?

Buffaloberries are edible for humans. They are quite sour, and afterwards leave the mouth a little dry. A touch of frost will sweeten the berries. The berries can be made into jelly, jam, or syrup, or prepared like cranberry sauce from the forefrost berries.[3] The berry is recognizable by being a dark shade of red, with little white dots on them. They are rough to the touch, and found on both trees and shrubs.

Did you see what Klaas did yesterday?  OMG I laughed so hard. 

No What???? In Kyron's thread??????

I gotta go look too JSM.I can't stay caught up.
I think she left a message on the Terri Horman Facebook page.   

I went and looked, think that is it.  I'm so confused over there 

Well Dede...what is your problem?    J/K   
I still can't believe someone thought you were Dede.   
I think this is it.  http://scaredmonkeys.net/index.php?topic=8448.300

Thanks Trimm, the only thing I can come up with is both DeDe and I are crazy, but I'm not that crazy

[Missiontoconvict]

Wow you all have been busy in here - I have had Outlook email issues at work then I went to place a grocery order for delivery and the grocery store's website is down.  Yikes it almost feels as if the sky is falling.     Need to catch up.

[Missiontoconvict]

Good morning everyone!

Morning Mission

Hi GreenEyes, hope you have cooled down a bit.  We will hit a blustery 71 today 

[Missiontoconvict]

Good morning!  Just a quick note about trapping/neutering feral cats...  when I worked with a group that was trapping and neutering cats, the vet would clip one of the cats ears to indicate to anyone in the future the cat had been neutered.  I realize that the great majority of time once you trap a feral cat, it will won't go back in a trap again.  However, it has happened, and cats have been taken in to be spayed that had already been neutered.  Of course, some of these cats could have been neutered before they began living as feral cats too.  The clipped ear at least indicates neutering and that they've been seen by a vet sometime in their life. 

I have a cousin that was arrested a few years ago for the grave offense of feeding feral cats.     She was taking care of a colony of cats, trapping/neutering and etc.  There was an ordinance that forbade feeding the cats. 

When I lived in the middle east, there was no humane society in my area.  If someone called about a nuisance cat, dog or bird or found a cat, it went to PEST CONTROL.  And they would take them out to the desert to die.  A group of expats got together and we would foster animals, have fund raisers (garage sales & etc) and try to find homes for the animals.  Some times the animals were even shipped to the U.S. to homes or to sanctuary's in the U.S., like Best Friends in Kanab, Utah. (Older article, but kind of explains things. )         http://news.bestfriends.org/index.cfm?page=news&mode=entry&entry=AF38942E-BDB9-396E-99C29D81D1BAD827    The good thing was that there were a couple of vets that would do really low cost spaying and neutering and sometimes discounted care for the animals. 
 

this is sad, how could they just leave them to die?

Good morning everyone!
