JSM's BEGGING FOR BAN THREAD #20 8/27/10 -

[no rose colored glasses]

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. 

I'm speechless, had no idea the price of calculators, hope the calculator comes with a promise that the kid will pass the class with the calculator    How does so many people pay for all this, I don't know about your economy up in Canada, but our economy in the States is not good

Oil Rig on Gulf exploded this morning.  12 people in water one missing   

Green Eyes - my daughter would like the grey one and the black and white one.  She says she wants two so they will not be lonely. 

OMG     My daughter and I both want the little gray one also 

You can have the gray one, I am sure my daughter would be happy to have the black and white one and any one it its siblings.  Who ever has the jet can we fire it up and do a cat run to Green Eyes?

  That sounds like a good idea, and the little black one is adorable also, heck they all are

Green Eyes did you want me to bring anything when we come by Jet?  How about some nice garden potatoes and carrots?  I have some really nice Saskatoon jam I made that I will bring as well.  It was a great year for Saskatoons this year.  Jet can come get me, do a quick stop in BC as my Uncle has been catching his daily limit of Sockeye since the season opened and he has some for me that I want to smoke, I am sure I can get a few salmon for anyone else who wants some as he has two freezers full already, then pick up No Rose and off to visit Green Eyes!

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 ?

[no rose colored glasses]

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

We had light frost again this morning and it was so cold when I hung the laundry that the clothes were steaming on the line.

A potato gun sounds like fun

Way to early for that, but just the thought of frost makes me smile. I get so much energy when it is cold, when it is hot all the energy leaves me.

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

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. 
 

Muffy that is horrible they would leave them out there to die.
