Sure I'll share I'll even buy the first round.

Is it some kind of bird, not sure which one.........come on CC, I love nature but I don't think I'd ever want to get that close to any critter. Not doing too good here, hold on let me go get an adult beverage, maybe they'll look different.

Well.......in scouts we're assigned critters during an intense 6 day long training course, my critter happens to be a beaver..........about fell over the first time I googled that one. Be careful, be very careful, Google is not always your friend. A Fox??

The other one is a yuck Possum.

I was going to say beaver but he's dry, I've never seen a dry one. In fact I googled "close up of beaver" on google images. Didn't seem to match.

An animal?? Oh wait, it's your newest pet.

I don't need any voodoo doll, I completely believe in Karma. I always goes full circle. But I wouldn't mind watching all you crazy folks hate on someone. :lol:

We didn't have year round school, got the entire 2 1/2 months off in the summer. I like to think I got a good education, but again it wasn't in Georgia.

Did I ever tell you how smart you are???

Many moons ago, it was the only store in Yorkville.............different owners than now. It's never been perfect, in fact it was very retro 15 years ago. I haven't been in there in years, unfortunately Scott's Market is headed in the same direction. I visit the "old" Scott's instead of the "new" Scott's more often now.

You are right, while I agree with the "concept", I do not want the state telling us what we should do. It sets the stage for more and more control. Yep, it's time to take an inventory on the school board members.

I have reservations about making this a "law". I don't want more government control. I think our local school board should use some common sense and do what is the most cost effective. Guess what, those schools still have to be heated this week, can't risk water getting frozen. Most families would love to go to the Caribbean in February but I doubt many can afford it. We only got one vacation a year - usually during the summer - and I actually survived. The 3rd week of August start date is fine, no need to wait til after labor day. It is almost as hot the first week coup

Do you put your kid in it for photo ops?? Way cool, it works..............I told you we have plenty of really good hills.

Tow, I'm so sorry. There is no excuse for this. RIP, little doggie.

I don't know if there are all that many parents that love it, I know the teachers do. The three choices were all horrible, it you call that a choice. We were presented with the bad calendars and had to choose the (cough, cough) "best". I hardly call that listening to the parents.

I completely agree with this. Starting the first week of August is absurd. Many kids have summer jobs to help pay their way into college, this prevents them from earning three weeks pay. We always started the Day after Labor Day and finished the first week in June. We just didn't have a week off in September, November, and February. Elimate those weeks and you have a reasonable school calendar.

I said a long time ago this should be a State issue, not a Federal one........ I'm going to see if I can find the thread. here it is

Thoughts, just because it's not solid gold doesn't mean it's not worth any value. It may have been a gift for years of service from a company, it could have been a symbol of some group. The fact that you haven't found any to match it yet may make it have more value. Keep searching. The mark you described could actually identify the maker and it could be very collectible.

I think without the jewelry is much better. No preference to B&W vs color.

I clicked refresh (the little arrow on top, to the left,that almost makes a circle) and I now have shamrocks on FF :yahoo:

Praying for you and your families, this is a lot to handle at once. (((hugs)))

RIP Jason, prayers for his family.

Na, it's just flurries, no accumulations.

Out here in Yorkville too. Was coming down pretty good in spots.
