Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

Yer supposed to stay out of the ditches.

They suck me in

I’m always having trouble understanding the language and all the specialist terms on this site.
I understand why I’m getting funny looks now. It’s a pond right?
Course it is, and that must mean ducks and I’ve banging on about chickens!
Not to worry. I’ll probably get one of those educator badges for this but one of the creatures in the picture is a duck....I’m pretty sure of this because it doesn’t cluck........mind you, I could be wrong because it doesn’t quack either. I don’t know, I don’t think it’s one of the black ones, but you know, we all keep our chickens in different ways, and we are all different people, and all chickens are different and when I stop sitting on this fence and come to a decision I’ll be sure to let you all know.

I don’t know, what do you lot think? Is there a way I can tell which ones a duck apart from chucking them in the water and seeing who can swim?

Sorry Shadrach I don't know much about ducks. Is it the white one with it's back turned, looks like webbed feet - that one is probably your best shot at a duck. Does it Quack ? Maybe we should ask for more assistance. Sour would know. He's kind of a quacker himself. and a very good sport about being teased.

Cool, but not Sourland.

Since I'm so nice.... only throw the WHITE one in water.

Seriously, we are just a good group of odd friends, that have bonded because of our uniquities. "Birds of a feather" as we say.

If you stick around, you'll see that we don't judge (well, we might judge others, but not each other lol!), we have a blast with any ole subject, we cry together, laugh together, tease each other, but most fondly support each other in any way necessary.

For example, I would have been lost without these folks when my husband suffered a ruptured appendix and was rushed to emergency surgery a couple years ago. This group held my hand from afar, and kept me from going crazy.

Recently, we supported @room onthebroom through a horrific saga!! -- she purchased a new washing machine that turned out to have come from hell.

So many examples I could cite, but I'll try not to bore you. I'm just saying this whole "family" is awesome, and I'd be lost without them. Stick around, I think you'll like us.

Like DD, I see some webbed feet on that white duck.

I already do and the parody is not about anyone I've seen post here, or at BYC Cafe
Humour, it's difficult. It has been said that the US and UK are divided by a common language.

Hi WV. Did you mean uniquities or iniquities?

Hi WV. Did you mean uniquities or iniquities?

Well I was referring to our unique qualities, but you may be onto something too.
