andywoolloo, I seem to be a magnet for spammers. I received another one today. I banned that one also. I should forward them to you so you can be spammed, too!! (just kidding)

BeavisMom62, you tried to save the mole? Are they endangered? Gosh, they are such pests, I would have euthanized him rather than save him.

Don't get me wrong, your story is interesting - especially the fact that hair is so strong - and would not break. Maybe hair could be used for other things - good things. But then, it would be awfully hard to work with.

no thanks pris, lol you can keep the spam!

BeavisMom62 your story reminds me of another! first off good onya for tryig to save the little mole!

One time early in the morning before I went to sleep after work, oh I'd say 0600 a.m., summertime, I was out back and heard a fluttering and fluttering. I lookd all over and saw something making alot of movement in one of our trees. I went closer and it was a bird! He was upside down trying to get out of some sort of string. On closer inspection He was upside down, his feet at the ankles (or where birds would have ankles) were tied together with string of some sort! The sprinklers had gone off prior to me going out so he and the string and the tree were wet.

It looked like he had found some string or cloth to bring back to a nest, got tangled up in it and the sprinklers going on didn't help him. He was so frantically trying to escape from him upside predicament that he was making it worse. I tried to hold him with one hand and remove the string with the other but he was hysterical. as you would be.

I went in and put an oven mitt on and went back out, held him with the oven mitt hand so he couldn't bite me and tried to untangle the string but he had so wrapped himself up in it I couldn't . I woke up my mom and the two of us managed to do it. I held him while she,armed with small scissors, had to cut away the thread, she couldn't even untangle it with out cutting it and he was writhing around so much she was afraid she would cut his little teeny bird legs.

Finally she got him free and I let him go and he flew off at a high rate of speed, with no thanks or anything! He was so scared the poor thing and we were nervous wrecks also!!

Oh well, one persons trash is another's treasure. I guess that while I can't stand moles, I suppose I can understand how someone could like them and want to save them. After all, I like spiders.

it's very much wintering in California..brrrr.... I miss summer already.

It was a very nice 60 today. I spent most of the day inside fixing the drywall and painting the ceiling in the main bathroom, but it was nice outside I'm hoping it is still nice tomorrow so the boys and I can go out and play

I would kill a mole too. And I wouldn't go out of my way to save a chipmunk, rabbit or squirrel either since they ate most of my strawberries and my baby blueberry bushes. The jerks

We had wonderful weather again today. So nice after the hot summer.

On the downside, there were 3 shooters at a military base today. They killed 12 people and injured over 30 more. Makes me so angry that people have so little regard for life.

[andywoolloo]

I think I heard about that on the radio on the way to work. Fort hood?
I didn't catch the whole story.

On an upside I found another baby sterbai Cory in the tank.

I just went to a training on mass shootings a little over a month ago. I left sick to my stomach. It seems like every time you start to think it can't happen to you there is another incident. Sadly I don't know much about the incident except that it happened at Fort Hood and the suspect was the army psychiatrist. Its bad news when the psychiatrist looses his mind.

Are you close to Fort Hood, Pris?

[Pris]

I live in the Dallas Ft Worth metroplex. Ft. Hood is south of Waco. So, technically, no. I'm not that close if you think in terms of miles.

I have a very strong respect for the military, and many of my family and extended family members are either in the military, or are veterans. Anytime the military is involved, it feels personal. It should feel personal to all Americans.
