[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 687151, member: 17461"] I love this imagery for us. Thanks, pigless! I was looking online for slsh. With so many of us looking for Graduation Party ideas, I was thinking a thread for Graduation Party ideas on Watercooler would be a good idea. So I started one. There are some cool ideas for music and activities in one of the links. Three weeks, slsh!?! Moms are amazing. I participated in a ballet class once for kids without limbs, or with other challenges. The experience changed me. I feel fortunate to have been able to do that. Oh, no! I'm sorry this happened, pasa. I hope you do go to the Botanical Gardens for lunch. You have been through so much in such a short time. You handled it well. :O) I love this. *** Good morning, everyone. Sunny, windy, and cold here this morning. Woodticks are definitely out now. We found two deer ticks last night, one already embedded and one, just beginning. Our poor dog only weighs 10 pounds soaking wet. Plus, we found another embedded regular tick. So, we decided to treat him. I don't like the drops, but there doesn't seem to be another choice. We are deep in the woods, here. But even so, I have never seen this number of ticks. Here is a tip: We go through our dog's fur with a flashlight. (And I have to wear my glasses. Which is a whole other story, as they tend to slip off my nose when that little startle reflex happens when a tick is spotted.) Ahem. Once I have my glasses on again, we pull the tick out with tweezers, and put them on duct tape.

With one flat side and one side that has multiple pointed edges? And off I went in a high state of whatever because D H knew we were watching for that tick to fall off. Once they have a blood meal, they lay their eggs. So, that is what we were trying to avoid. Wood tick eggs in the house or the yard. So, there I am, following the road where D H walks the dog, searching for this fully engorged tick with my silver meat tenderizer tool. And the thing is that I was just so upset with D H about that tick. So, anyway, there were the new neighbors, unpacking their belongings and so on, in their driveway. Of course I introduced myself, welcoming them to the neighborhood and explaining, in a kind of distracted way which made perfect sense if one knew the backstory, about the meat tenderizer tool and the woodtick. We have come to know them, since? But they had no idea what to make of me, that morning. For heaven's sake. I never did find the tick. Wishing everyone a good day. I really enjoy the Morning Thread, pigless. Thank you! Cedar [/QUOTE]
