The CEO of Earthlink did that to DCA (a place I used to work at) — or he didn't act on what should have been obvious to anyone at the time, same thing really. He made out better than the employees for sure, and probably the shareholders.<BR/><BR/>Olivia, good to see you around here too. I can hit F11 now, which scoots all my open windows out of the way, and see where I'd rather be....Larry Kollarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08317037795075278427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-37288027437063826742007-09-22T14:53:00.000-04:002007-09-22T14:53:00.000-04:00Oooh ... it's been awhile since I've been able to ...Oooh ... it's been awhile since I've been able to say this:<BR/><BR/>What FM said ... :)oliviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03401788202984343513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-18647345390608151382007-09-22T12:12:00.000-04:002007-09-22T12:12:00.000-04:00Glad The Boy is finally in the clear.

But it's funny how they would lay in the driveway — you'd think they would figure out that it's not a safe haven after a while. FAR Manor has a gravel driveway, with a little grass here & there, but it doesn't get much over putting green height.<BR/><BR/>Nancy, you'd probably love the shirt we got for my brother-in-law (Mr. Sunshine) last year. It's a deer, tied to a target and grinning at all the arrows on either side of it. The caption is, "NOW what's your excuse?" We had a great time teasing him about 8 years ago, when The Boy was nailing squirrels with a BB gun (at age 11) while Mr. Sunshine was coming home empty-handed except for his deer rifle. That side of the family is pretty accurate with guns, and The Boy got some of that. He's not much for hunting these days though, although he likes to fish (or throw a line in the water, smoke, and shoot the breeze with a friend or two).Larry Kollarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08317037795075278427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-86919636804054627142007-09-20T10:22:00.000-04:002007-09-20T10:22:00.000-04:00lol, boran2.

That's a real accomplishment -- a lot of people can't do it.<BR/><BR/>It's funny that deer are picky eaters!<BR/><BR/>Nancy, it should like you live in heaven. Or a Disney movie.<BR/><BR/>Boran2, I used to live in a house with a gravel driveway. And grass grew pretty tall in the strip between where my tires normally drove.<BR/><BR/>AND for a long time a family of rabbits lived in that grass. It was really spooky to come home at night. Their little heads would peak up over the top of the grass when they saw my headlights.<BR/><BR/>For a second or two, we'd stare at each other. Then they'd all take off & I'd drive up the rest of the way.<BR/><BR/>Since I was spending most evening's at Mister's house, this happened enough that it became routine.katiebirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17262129879015590898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-66218237969191672342007-09-19T22:56:00.000-04:002007-09-19T22:56:00.000-04:00Wow, Nancy, that’s amazing.

He was residing under my Mazda for a bit but would run out when I started it.

Two young ones, and one with a bigger rack. Then, while taking a walk, I came upon two does and a third I couldn't see well enough to "gender." At one point, the two does and I were staring at each other from about 25 feet away. Then the third came up, made a loud alarm noise that sounded like s/he blew through her nose, and they all turned up their white tails and skedaddeled. I can enjoy them because I guess I don't have any plants they want to eat! :)Nancy Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05429062957063032872noreply@blogger.com
