Thanks, flamingo !! Very helpful. I figure our "warm" will start to feel cold for them the longer they're out of Michigan as well! Ha! Yes, I joke that my blood gets thinner the longer I live here. Yeah, my father was born and raised in NYC and lived in Jersey for his entire adult life. About 10 years ago he moved to South Florida and now he's always freezing. But he was almost 70 when he moved! So he always needs a jacket when I'm in short sleeves, and when we would visit his house, he would refuse to put the air on and I'd be melting. I used to sneak to the thermostat to turn the temp down b/c he'd keep it at like 80! IT happened so quickly!

But look how cute he is csho ! Do not trust. If humans cease to exist, raccoons will rise and eat all our food then succumb to obesity.

Also, maybe I'm late to the party on this, but I was at Target yesterday and picked up a swimsuit for C from the Cat and Jack line. It's cute enough, but what really sold me are the snaps down below, which make diaper changes, etc. so. much. Easier. I have never seen this feature on a baby bathing suit before and had been wondering why it wasn't done. So sadly, there goes my million-dollar idea, but I am glad to know this product exists! The one with popsicles?? I died when I saw it and then loved the snaps too! Genius. I'm supposed to send her in a swimsuit twice a week for water play, so now need to find a few more suits.

Mistrust of raccoons is necessary you guys. Far too many of you are falling victim to their charm. Opposable thumbs. Opposable thumbs. Ha creative imagination. On the chalkboard the teacher wrote what each kid said they did each weekend...I always enjoy seeing what j told his class. Apparently last weekend we went to the movie theater (he has never been..)

Its like they have little hands. We stayed at a resort in Costa Rica a few years back, and at night you'd see a few raccoons come out and try to come up near the restaurants (outdoor dining). Of course all us Americans would be like "ohh, how cute!," as the restaurant employees try to shoo them away.

afternoon lovelies.
NEWP to bears in the yard. would move. bears belong in the forest. not by my bbq pit. Also, do not trust raccoons. They are vile little creatures.
Hope yall are having a great day!
I told my boss today that I am actively searching for other jobs. She totally gets it. This place is toxic.

Weird guster. There were bear sightings here last week (well one town over) but they caught him and relocated him. Maybe across the river...?

Apparently last weekend we went to the movie theater (he has never been..) Sounds like our kids would get along well together. Josie has taken her popstar fantasy and has moved it into bigger schemes. Now she will be performing with the groom at the wedding. And she refers to it as Josie and Dillon's big day.

People are trying to figure out if it's more than one bear or not. The chatter has died down some. But there are multiple ways to get across the river, and I'm sure they're resourceful.

inthekitty, did you finish designated survivor? I have an episode and a half left and it's just so boring that I don't know if I can finish. I'm keeping it on in the background right now so in case anything interesting or exciting happens I can pay attention, but otherwise snooze fest.

I'm keeping it on in the background right now so in case anything interesting or exciting happens I can pay attention, but otherwise snooze fest. I actually completely forgot about it. My DVR screwed up one episode and only recorded a few minutes instead of the whole thing. I couldn't find the whole episode and probably have 5 others on my DVR. I just need to skip ahead and watch the rest, but like you, I wasn't that engaged. It's really too bad because it had so much potential. I actually started rewatching season 6 of 24 because I think that's where I left off years ago. Jack Bauer was so cool. He could be tortured for 2 years and within minutes of his release still be the best agent CTU has, but Prez Tom seems like he couldn't solve a Nancy Drew mystery.

I've never seen 24. Maybe this summer. His voice kills me.

I mean, I don't like snakes either but I'm pretty sure snakes go into everyone's yards. Garter snakes at least. They're everywhere. We even used to get them here when I was a kid and there isn't much wildlife to speak of. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

There was a woman on one of the Facebook moms group that was sincerely asking what she should do because she saw a skunk in her backyard at 9 o'clock one night. The poor woman got crucified -- we live in the suburbs of New York, there's all kinds of wildlife. Right now, actually, there's a really big coyote problem. Josie's preschool sent a letter about it about what they are doing as a precaution when the kids are playing outside in their fenced in area. It is a weird question though, I think? Like leaving them alone just never occurs to anyone? You don't have to "do" anything... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Guys, I'll take your snakes and bears and turkeys and raise you.... Arizona has mother fucking scorpions. Thank the lord and knock on wood in 10 years we have never seen one in any of our houses, but if you happen to be unlucky and get a house hat was built on a next they are everywhere and impossible to get rid of. I've heard of them dropping off of door frames when you open a door, in your sheets at night, crawling up the shower drain while you're showering. They are the things nightmares are made of. Atticus keeps asking for one. No. I'll take the snakes, lizards, possums, skunks and almost anything except these. And centipedes. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have two important thing to make note of:
1. I want cheesecake too. 2. When the raccoons rise, I'll be ready and I leave the weak behind.

inthekitty i want to cry thinking about your night with the end of pre-k. How sweet and sad. Gah, I'm already sad that j is moving up to the next class after labor day...and then he still has 2 years here. They had the older kids graduation yesterday and I had a hard time looking at the pictures they posted and I don't even know the kids! My friend who is Jewish and husband is Indian sent their daughter to a church pre-k, and she LOVES to pray. It's pretty funny/cute.

cagoldi, it did make me wonder if she was a transplant to this area. That kind of Woodland wildlife is such an every day occurrence here that most people take it for granted. Skunks and chipmunks and deer are going to wander through our yards at any given point, but I could see how it might be disconcerting for someone new to the area.

My same aunt who used to have the bears had a set of raccoons who visited her everyday. They'd knock on her back door and hold their hands out for cookies. If she tried to give them something healthy, like carrots, they'd get pissed, throw it, and chitter chatter bitchily until she ponied up with the cookies. Aw, be still, my heart. Such lovable assholes. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
