My Christmas card this year
10 years ago
Because I rehab possums, I used to always send out Christmas cards with possums on them. Don't laugh...you can find them on the internet, plus there is a lady in Washington state who designed all of the ones I sent out. But this year instead of sending cards, I donated to a friend who rescues horses out of kill pens...due to be shipped to slaughter in Mexico. But, I found this one, and I think it is kind of cute. Possums don't really have crossed eyes, but those raised in captivity will often develop a condition called "fatty eye" that makes them look cross eyed.
Wishing you all the best Christmas "possumable" and a Happy New Year.

Comments (3)Hi Cherry, Beautiful picture, I'm sorry for your loss & applaud your efforts to keep the plant going, especially to share it w/ the family. It happens that mine (setting buds right now) looks EXACTLY like yours, same bloom & color, etc. Mine usually blooms for New Years, seems a bit late this year. MBT, thanks SOOO much for that excellent link, really informative & well written, a TERRIFIC contribution from you, you ROCK dude!!!...See MoreBINGO & Carmen, & Eddie too = Thank You !!!!!!!!!!!!
Comments (15)That is so weird. I was telling my kids about that women the other day. We were in the car and they were saying how I embarrass them(on purpose of course)LOL and then my son had to use the bathroom and I told them about how it could be worse. I could..... Wear a diaper when we went to town and gave them a little history of the story. The funny version of course. So in other words Lucy didnt get the 5 minute break because you were wearing a diaper and she had that option and failed to use it. I can see your point and will keep in mind for next time. Is there a brand you prefer? I like room to move... ROLMAO Brandy...See MoreIs it ethical for me to try to return these?
Comments (52)Blitzy: Are you saying that when you got less-than-quality photo prints, you just paid, said "Thank you" and went home thinking "Oh, too bad I made the decision to get my photos done there. My bad"? I expect quality work for my money--and I have rejected bad photos at the CVS--whether bad prints or when working with their PictureMaker machines. Quality stores stand behind their work. And to LindaKathy and others who raise this point about salespeople: So are we all to assume that all salespeople are like the bad stereotype of a used-car salesman? I expect them to know their business -- and their competitors'. And if he didn't--maybe he was a low-wage hourly employee--he had no business saying that, because then he just turned into someone just wanting to make the sale and not someone concerned about a customer's satisfaction. There are salespeople in this world who will tell you honestly that he/she doesn't know the answer to your problem but that he'll call the manager. This guy didn't. Alisande's salesman basically told her it was the best quality she would find ANYWHERE. That's called pressuring the customer. She relied on his "expertise" to make the purchase--don't many of us do that when we're hiring a painter or a contractor or a health-care aide, who you've gotten good references for? But she should go back to find out why the quality between the 2 shops was so different and make sure that it wasn't because her salesman didn't know how to make the proper brightness adjustments. That store wouldn't still be in business if they turn out poor copies all the time, so I have to believe this wasn't solely the fault of a worse machine. And the store owner or manager needs to know that he or she is losing business over this -- whether the owner volunteers to refund her money or not (and in my book, if I were the shop owner, I'd be PO'd that I was beaten by another shop and do whatever it takes to get another chance with a customer)....See MoreHaiku Anyone?
Comments (5)Haiku is fun, even kids can do it. Even I can do it, and that's saying something! Yours are lovely. I like the first one. That's a wonderful idea for Christmas cards. When our mother died, my sister and I composed a haiku for her niche marker....See More- 10 years ago
