Our Opossums ARE marsupials! The only marsupials in the Americas.

O.K. I get the massage.

And I have some GORGEOUS temporary teeth in.

Well I'll b, never to old to learn.

Better than a toothless smile.

I wish we had some cute marsupials around here.

must go now.and no Heidi,u didn't scare me away.

Time to fling food here also, but we have planned over entree, more baked fish, just need to do a new veg or 2 to go with. I think we will have a micro baked potato with fake sour cream (it tastes pretty good when you have not had the real thing in 7 years hehe) must see if enough of the green vegs remain or must I cook more.

They also have naked, prehensile tails that look like rat tails.

Heidi, eaa, you turned the page when I was not looking!

She left.

Suzy - (re your last comment) don't bother, they just taste like wood! :)
Well, our pine tree is now a leafless stick. Not good with estimating heights, but maybe 60 or 70 feet high? The men have gone off to get lunch - Maccas doing a roaring trade, no doubt! The back yard looks really weird... Put it back - I changed my mind!

Why'd you cut down a magnificent old giant like that, Judy?

Heidi, the tails sound unattractive!

The tails are extremely unattractive.

Heidi, we had to cut down the tree next to it, a beautiful liquid amber that died because of the drought. The pine tree had quite a few dead branches and broken ones caught up and just hanging there, so we were told it was dangerous. Pine trees are not native to Australia, and nothing will grow under them - they suck all the moisture away from other plants. It's sad to see it go, but we can now plant another tree more "suitable" to the environment. There are quite a few very tall gum trees nearby, so still plenty of places for the "critters" to live.

Your wish, Heidi, for marsupials is my command.
A few Australian marsupials -
Oops - the last one is my dog but it was born in Australia.

Good evening all.

Gail, I am sorry to hear about your son. I hope he is feeling better soon. I will be thinking about you today/tomorrow.

It is 10.30am and I haven't even had my shower. I have birthday pressies to wrap up for Maddie and I have to pick up Hayley and Emily soon to take them to Maddie's party.
I'd better get a move on!

CynB, that is a cute dog. I would have put his picture on also. The koala and kangaroo are almost as cute.

Have fun at the party Cyn. Wish the birthday girl a happy birthday for me.

Serving supper now

Those steaks look almost good enough to eat. The gator is cute. The BCS championship game is about 30 miles from my house. Gators vs. Sooners. I have no intenion of watching it.

BCS is the college (American) Football championship.

The steaks we just had were thicker, actually. And sprinkled with kosher salt. Mmmmmmmmmmm.

I am going to say goodnight early. I am going to tuck myself in and watch tv before I fall asleep. Catch up with everyone tomorrow.

the BCS championship game is sooooo stupid!!!! everyone knows that UTAH should be the bcs champions! they are the ONLY team to go undefeted. if the bcs doesn't make them #1 then we know they are corrupt and biased. this stupid game should have NO effect on the outcome. both the gators and the sooners have a loss (or 2) in their line ups. GO UTES!! (sorry for the rant.)

Mariana..... I agree that only an undefeated team should be National Champs.

heidi. i'm afraid we have strong feelings about this here in utah. i need to take a few deep breaths and chill!

Heidi, I'm intrigued: kosher salt?

Well, our pine tree is down to the stump, with four husky young men slicing the trunk into pieces right now. Sawdust and bits flying everywhere, very noisy, but looks like they're almost done - only the paying left to do! :)

Yep.... tastes MUCH better than regular salt.

What are they gonna do with the wood? You can't burn it in a fireplace because of all the creosote. Maybe for outdoors fires? Or is it gonna be cut in a sawmill?

I'm off to feed the dogs, then probably to bed early.

Heidi it looks as if they're just turning it all into wood chips - don't know if they have some use for that, or if it will just get thrown away, which seems like a waste. We are paying them to dispose of it: I thought they might sell it for firewood, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

It sounds like they're mulching it all.

Now I HAVE to get up off my fat *ss, and go feed the dogs before I fall asleep in my chair.

So sleepy..... the dogs are finishing their dinners ... so I'm gonna do one more puzzle while waiting, then I'm going to bed. all!

Happy 8th Birthday to CynB's grandie Madeline!

Happy 18th Birthday to Brenda's daughter Emily on the 10th! (That was my Dad's birthday.)

Another coincidence is that our grandies are Madeline (3) and Emily (7 months)!

There are lots of great snowflake avatars, I'm noticing!

I tried to save most of my snowmen and snowflake avatars for January. (I'm hoping I won't need to use them much in February.

Good Night, Tami and Heidi! Sleep Well! (Feel better tomorrow, Heidi.)
