    You didn’t miss much, Henry, Sky just tried to ROB ME of being the most “stoooooopid” trophy, and then Kim tried to come in and be the peace maker.

    The baby duck(s) are hatching, one if out of the shell now and one has his beak through the shell… there are only 5 eggs left so not sure how many I will have but at least 1 out and doing okay so far. He/she/it is so cute….still wet and just lying there….but I have a place prepared for them (him) in the barn with a nice home. Got about 2 more dozen eggs to go into the incubator when these are done hatching in a day or two…sometimes it takes 48 hours for them all to get out of their shells.

    Weather was wonderful today, just just kept thinking about all t hose poor people in Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee etc. and what they lost and and nearly 300 dead. It looks like where the tsunami washed ashore in Japan and over a huge area. I’m surprised there were not more deaths, into the thousands….and there is no warning much about where they will hit or when. I think 1974 was the last time one like this hit that area, and May is the worst month so no one knows what is ahead in the next month with these storms.

    I need to go out to my storage and see what items I can spare for the folks around here that got hit Tuesday night. The last storm pretty well wiped out my spare supply of towels, sheets and dishes, but I still have some things out there that I can spare and I will go to the auction on Saturday and see what I can pick up at the auction cheap….last time I got about a pick up load of stuff (good stuff) for the tornado victiims for $25 that would have cost several hundred dollars at Wal Mart and almost all of it was new or nearly new…sheets towels, shampoo, soaps etc. Just personal items like toothbrushes and toilet paper and that kind of thing is a big help….

    Yes, it was on dailymail newspaper in UK, an article yesterday about her being sued and a pix of her and a pix of the woman she conned out of $10K….I put a linnk up but you can go to the daily mail and search on there for headlines for yesterday and find it I am sure. Not sure what thread it was on, I think it was on the “naming them” thread here, but check it out you can find it. I’ll see if I can find it too and repost it if I can.

    Cool, thanks. I am up to date with most of the goings on. Nice to see it’s gone across the pond – given that the spath likes to pretend she’s from there, and oh, australia, and….blah blah blah 🙂
