Sweet baby!   


Monken?I hope you are staying safe in this weather.   

Hey Trimm! I just came on here to check on you!! North Al is catching He!! right now! Please stay safe! I hate this stupid weather!  RollTide! 

[crazybabyborg]

 

OK, this is ridiculous! Klaas? I dreamt about YOUR Grandbaby last night!! She was in a carrier on a dining room table and just so, so happy! She was kicking her little legs and making those wonderful baby noises.

(Don't get scared, Klaas. It wasn't MY dining room table.)   

[2NJSons_Mom]

Adorable!!!  Hope she always can wear those horizontal stripes!   

[Itaryl Moosee]

Adorable!!!  Hope she always can wear those horizontal stripes!   

She has gorgeous eyes!

Those cutesy outfits will bring on the smiles while sharing family pictures fifteen years from now.

Heh!

God Bless her.

[Itaryl Moosee]

I wonder if Klaas and the moderators have a limit on the number of posts edited, moved, or deleted.

I myself have required assistance twice (maybe three times) this past week, so if there is a limit... I'm there.

I apologize for the inconvenience, and promise to be more careful in the future. My problem is that I open three or four windows (threads) at a time and sometimes (lately) I get a brain hiccup, and end up posting to the wrong thread.

I do have to say that the moderators are mighty alert and fast in assisting, which may not be good news for the troublemakers.

New species of monkey discovered in Northern Myanmar


http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/news/105873798.html


A new species of monkey, Rhinopithecus strykeri, was discovered in Northern Myanmar by an international team of primatologists from the group Fauna & Flora International.

A species of snub-nosed monkey, Rhinopithecus strykeri has an upturned nose and sneezes when it rains. Sightings of the new monkey were reported from the eastern Himalayas to northeastern Kachin state. The discovery is detailed in the American Journal of Primatology.

The monkey was described as having a long tail and mostly blackish fur with white fur only on ear tufts, chin beard and perineal area.

In local dialect the monkey is called "mey nwoah" or "monkey with an upturned face."

An image reconstructed by Photoshop, based on a Yunnan snub-nosed monkey and the carcass of the newly discovered species, is also available. This image should be credited to Dr. Thomas Geissmann. Credit: Dr. Thomas Geissmann

Hi Monkey's and guest,

Have a safe and Happy Halloween.

 
Keep a Halloween Costume Safe by Lighting it up

If the costume is too dark and you're concerned it will not be seen, remember reflective tape or think about adding lights to avoid tragedy on what is supposed to be a fun night.

this sounds delish!  I am printing it as we speak!!

The ape looks photoshoped. But, he's cute, though. It has a Michael Jackson nose.

Found the article.

The animal found was butchered for food by the natives, but it seems that whoever released the monkey picture got a picture of the dead snub-nosed monkey, and stuck its head on the body of a live monkey.

I imagine the person added color to its face, because the monkey on the first picture looks rosy-cheeked and pouty-lipped.

Warning: I edited monkey's body (erased private parts which are VERY prominent in the National Georgraphic picture).

Thanks for the links... checking them out.

I started using recyclable bags within the last six months. I First bought two huge ones from Sam's Club (to get a feel for non-disposable bags). They were big and sturdy, and plastic (easy to wipe clean,) and looked nice.

But, I soon lost them to my daughter, who found better uses for them: a beach bag, and a bag in which to carry her laptop bag (so the laptop bag doesn't get dirty.)

I went to buy a second set, but they were not selling the big plastic ones anymore, they switched to this material that looks like burlap but it's more like felt. But, I needed them so I got four.

Within three uses they all smelled like rotten mold.

They were black, so I couldn't wipe or wash them with Clorox. I washed them with soap and put them out to dry, but they were smelly again within a use or two, so I have sworn off them because in order to have hygienic ones, I would have to buy a new bag to replace the other after each use... which is not cheap, these bags are about $3 each.

So, I decided to be one of those evil hunchpeople who pollute the environment with plastic shopping bags, but it's not that I didn't try.

[SuzieQ]

That is really strange. What would cause them to smell? I have one large insulated bag and 5 smaller regular bags. The insulated bag is lined with plastic and the smaller ones have a removable hard plastic bottum. I guess they could be washed, but haven't had to in the year that I have had them. Haven't noticed any smell.
The only problem I had was forgetting them when I went to the store. Now I unload the groceries and put the bags right back into the car.

The store brand ones I purchased broke (handles broke) or the little tab that you put over the metal bag holder thing when you are bagging your own breaks.  I found it was taking me too long to use the reusable bags, they didn't slip on or stay opened up nicely at the self check area.  I am all about speed and that's why I do the self checkout to begin with.  Also when I do self check I use about 1/2 the plastic bags they would because I fill each one up fuller.  That said, I am going to try again with new bags and see if I can get my speed up.  For me it's all about speed (sorry can't help myself    )
