Ours, named "Gray Possum", likes to dine in my compost bin.
Everything goes in it (anerobic composting eventually).....meat, bones, veggies.

My visitor just munched on the cat food..

Our prior golden retriever once picked up a baby and paraded around the back yard with it. A cookie was sufficient to get her to release it and then we took the dog indoors. When we checked later, it was gone.

I should not have eaten that

I just read that without remembering the prior posts, lol...without context, first thought goes to carrying a human baby around...what, by the diaper?

Lets just say it came in a box and it gave me heartburn

In my experience, retrievers are wonderful dogs around children. Them and rottweilers. Having hair pulled, being screamed at, turned into a jungle gym, slapped and smacked, and yet I've never known one to even give a warning snip over such things.

I have an interview for another social worker position tomorrow. At this point in time, what can it hurt if I go into a job interview with the attitude that I don't want the job? It's not like doing all that stuff you're supposed to do has gotten me anywhere anways. And this is for a position directly through the Indiana Department of Childhood Services.

I think I'll start using the pink text instead of purple. Or maybe a blue color.
IDK. I've grown tired of purple.

It's so windy today that I don't even have my windows open and I'm getting a breeze. I heard my window frame sound like it about cracked, and it made me jump and remember the time when I was asleep at my old house, and on a windy day the wind actually shattered the glass and blew it towards me. It's possible that at that very moment I set the world record for the fastest anyone has ever covered up with their blanket.

I don't know if this will make you rethink your choice, but just IMO, that pink is a bit on the bright harsh side for reading. For highlighting of words or points, okay, but consistently?...I find it hard on the eyes. Again, JMO.

I'm with Draka--no pink! except to highlight a point on occasion. Blue would be nice and easy on the eyes.

Just found this about our furry friends...

Trees are flowering and starting to leaf out, outside my window!

It's also extremely rare for them to have rabies (their body temperature is too low for it), and they don't really pose any threat to cats and dogs. As far as I can tell, cats and opossums get along just fine, and while opossums wont attack dogs, dogs are prone to attacking them.

I should not have eaten that either...and it got all over me too....

This day off my diet has proven to be a bad idea

They're usually too big (well, adults are) for cats to mess with...anything but a very small dog would probably probably be able to kill it outright...although our dog thought she had done a good job defending us from the marauders on a number of occasions, but in the end only killed two. The rest, once we got her to drop them and come back inside, would get up a few minutes later, give themselves a shake, and trundle off into the woods as if nothing had happened. We scared one up one time, and it waddled past a big tree to climb up a sapling that was about five feet tall. It clambered up as high as it could get and hung there looking at us...I could have easily walked over and grabbed it off the tree, or let Abby have it, but we left it be. They're not the brightest critters, but they've got their place in the world...

I really need to replace the bent hydraulic cylinder on me trailer!
It misbehaved by hanging up on my trip today.

Thinking about cancelling a up coming trip to Europe, don't think it would be much of a vacation for me to spend the entire time on high security alert. Mrs Wu is generally oblivious to everything (including traffic, I need to watch her too) and the little Wu would need watching to...which would also be me.... I see me coming back from that trip more tired and stressed than when I left
