I was pretty sure I saw a wolverine up north one time a few years back- The noise they make is pretty remarkable. I do not think they all have a light coat- I have seen a fisher- and it does move like a cat- except it keeps it's tail out straight behind it's body for the most part- at least as I have seen. It is odd how it holds it very think otter like tail... Either way- keep the pups away- and enjoy their sightings! I was really frightened when I first saw your subject that I was going to read about a cougar..... Thank goodness that is NOT the case! Julie

All Your Worm Forums Are Belongs To Me. These are not the worm forums you are looking for. When I read the board I still feel as if chuckiebtoo is an angel sitting on my shoulder guiding and advising my worm bin decisions. His old posts still ring in my ears. If he reads this message perhaps he could message me where he is presently posting. A UFO board perhaps as that was my most favorite post of his. I guess until I find such a poster again, you will have to be my favorite worm board poster. A bit confused, off step, and never rating a visit from UFO yet. But there is always next August. One can hope. If I post less than before it is because lacto-fermentation has stolen me away. Sauerkraut and sauerbraten. The SCOBY of kombucha and other pellicle kefir grains. These processes are similar to vermicomposting in that wee beasties given the right set of circumstances help us out. Perhaps the "cantankerous old b(I innocently used a non approved sting of letters)" could message me or us or the board where he is posting at now so I don't have to play "Where's chuckiebtoo?" Our loss especially due to cantankerous old b(I again innocently used a non approved sting of letters) posting about unique topics. No doubt other posters who have been here and a bit quiet or new cantankers will fill in the huge void. That has perhaps already happened and should prove fun. Let's hear what they have to say. Should I get the RIP chuckiebtoo tat on my right arm or my left? Presently my worms due to too much fish tank water and a huge watermelon stink to high heaven. A familiar smell to wormers who do not always color in the lines. I poured the bucket through the worm inn and set it back to collect. Then tp shreds were piled into absorb the liquid in the bucket. It better smell way better by tomorrow because this is not OK.

I didn't see that Puddy Tat, J! But I thought a movie star sent me a pkg. all the wa-a-a-y from CA...surprise! Surprise! It was from our famous "Luvs" here on the Holiday forum! Just the cutest darn holiday "art" ever! (see my pics!) Thanks, luvs! Jeanne S. SWEET!

Tks for the kind words about my Houdi. Also, Tks for the all the props--what a good way to start the new year--it can be a challenge keeping up with all of you and what's posted on a daily bases. Oldalgebra - the 3 Wise Men are from HSN. From what I gather, they have them every now and then in limited supply and the set was around $100., They were available late last summer/early fall. It seems of late I've been adding a "quality" Santa yrly - this yr, my friend sent me the big Napoleon "Bee' Santa above the little lamp I put together. Oh, I got the cherubs last yr, and I did leave them out because I enjoyed them. Karen - Yes I did the small tree w/gold leaves myself, believe me, it looked better, but the cats kept trying to take it down...they love the bling! Those gold ivy leaves were another after Xmas purchase bought cheaply en masse yrs back. Finally I said enough was enough--it is what it is! Yes. Tigger is big, he's bigger than his daddy, even the "runt" Gizmo turned into a big kitty. Selena the dog has a cat gene--she likes them, and even makes friends with strays if they're receptive. She's also friends with the birds, squirrels and a possum. They are big! I would have preferred to use them on the flr, and by the tree, but not this yr, the cats are still too young. Luvs - I'm surprised the crystal drop tree was left alone. My late mom would pick up those chandelier crystal whenever she found them cheaply. Like my Santa collection--which my mom started, you add one or two yrly and after a few yrs you have something. pdg777 - I found if you get enough of like things such as decorative picks, sprays,etc--it becomes easier to create a look...or at least punt! lynnencfan - the kids/snowman and vignettes in the display cases are from QVC/Valerie Parr Hill. Their quality is superb and they weren't too $$ either. Another gift/acquisition this yr. nana2010 - Anytown USA,LOL Tks forhgtv - yes the cats will keep me busy and will "help" when I take things down...in their special very own cat way, meaning, check boxes/totes before sealing! oakleyok - RE; Pointer pic, maybe in the will ;-)I agree, Mercury glass does go so well with Christmas decorating. Mine are from Wisteria. I didn't do it this yr, I put a string of battery operated lights inside and they glow. It creates another nighttime look. slinkey - There's a Where's Waldo in pic 14 down, Ms K is down near the flr behind the cabinet leg next to the blu & wht jar. jeannespines - LOL,I'm glad you see elegant--I see chairs w/cat patina, and pieces mended/glued, scratches...aka gentle decay! I work with what I have and try to it make it work - Tks for the compliments. phonegirl - Thk you. Kind words do help ease the pain. excessfroufrou - Normally the deerhead/wreath is where the mirror/crystal tree is, as the mirror hides the heavy screws needed to hold the deerhead on the wall. I found I could do the same above the sofa, the big pic that's normally there will hide the screws and nails used. I had those display cases for 3 yrs before I could figure out what to do w/them--they're big! Adding the marble beneath actually helped the look. I can't wait to do something w/the epergne next yr - the cats think it's their new feeding bowls--they keep checking it out to see if I've put anything in there for them. The friend who gave to me suggested Fancy Feast! My look isn't for everyone, but it sure makes it fun to share with people who get it.
