Hi Shavon. In case you didn't notice, this was your 999th post!

Yes I have been waiting all day to make this post. I wanted to share it with friends.


I am now "Chicken Obsessed!"

Oh no... it's been wandering around this area since I saw it Sunday. Still in the same sad shape. I usually only saw it at night, scrounging around for grubs/bugs/whatever they eat, near the building I work in.

I'll bet you're right Tara - it's probably sick. Do you think the city would do anything if you reported a rabid skunk? Poor Stinky.

Did you get it to move??? I would suggest a very strong water hose that would spray along distance. Not that I have any experiance so do so at your own risk.

It eventually moved off on it's own. Not sure where it is now. It sure is ragged looking now a days. It used to be a beautiful animal, mostly white with a bit of black.

Hi Stimpy. Why are you dispersing your world-famous flock of Stimpy Rocks?

Like Les, changes are forcing me to make some really crappy decisions. I'll see that they go to good homes.

No, they won't 'cause I tried!

I think it's like P&B's situation. If it's a skunk, they ain't dealing with it. It's hard enough to get the AC out here to pick up a stray/abandoned dog!

Well we almost got the kids in bed on time tonight. We were just a few minutes late, usually its close to an hour late. We ended up going out to eat dinner for Jordan's birthday. We got home at Lauren's bedtime. She had to get bath before bed. Jordan had a few things to get done before he could go to bed. Now I just have to get a shower and go to bed. I think I will head that way shortly.

I'm happy to be able to get one, but sad you're dispersing. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.

So, how's the Honeymoon planning going?

Gee thanks. Sue tells me I'm funnier when I'm not trying to be. I laughed a few minutes ago at your Kenny Rogers and David Allen Coe love child comment. You weren't serious, were you?

I think maybe you are. It was never meant as a criticism of either Al or Monty, or anyone else for that matter. Everyone appears to be doing a bang up job. It was a suggestion to a possible problem I thought Al was talking about in his post to which it was a response. That there are people who would be willing to take leadership rolls in the event or least to share in it. Al and Monty don't have to carry the entire leadership roll. Heck, our group even has a professional event organizer in its midst (it ain't me). More could be made of such talent if such was their desire. They could use the help. Unless I have misunderstood some private conversations, Al has intimated as much to me.

But all that aside, I still think it is time for the group to become more formalized. People are now being called "members" and "our group". Well, members of what? Group of what? There's nothing wrong with the suggestion about creating a real organization, with bylaws and officers and a board and the like. You made mention of a committee. Well, that's a start toward a more formal organization. Even churches have that, and there is nothing wrong with churches.

I'm not suggesting a change in leadership, or even suggesting there is anything wrong with the folks currently running things. Far from it. Al and Monty would likely be the president and vice president, switching those jobs back and forth for as long as they wanted. I doubt anyone else even wants the job, and couldn't do a better job if they did want it, or even get elected for that matter.

Me, I'm not going. Not necessarily because I don't want to, but because I would feel like I was imposing. I don't have time to volunteer or anything useful to donate, and so would feel like I was merely benefiting off the hard work of others without putting anything into it. I would feel like a moocher. I'm also not interested in ANY sort of leadership roll, if that is what people think I am suggesting. I was only suggest a possible solution to what I perceived to be a stated problem.

Monty and Al and volunteers, you guys are doing a great job. Sorry if I gave the impression I thought any differently.

Y'all have fun. Sorry if my comments were a downer. Memaw, sorry I disturbed you. I meant no harm.

It's been a long, intense day spent with a friend in the emergency room. I need some rest, so I'm turning in early. G'night.

Buster sorry if I took it the wrong way. And thank you for correcting me. I hope I didn't offend you...it was not my intent.
