RETIRED Marlboro Outwit the West Funny Farm

Hi all,

I started this thread for anyone who wants to come here for lite discussion, jokes, and just general discussion and fun.

Everyone is welcome!

I was thinking that maybe it would be helpful to keep the original thread to a bit more of a serious discussion of the clues and answers.

This would make the original thread more useful to those seeking serious information and clues without having to read through hundreds of extraneous messages.

So, I hope it catches on !

So pop a beer and pull up a chair and relax !

LMAOglad you didnt get hurt!
Havent found an equine partner yet but trying some really nice ones....hoping I will know when it is the perfect fit. I am being patient. Right now it is a buyers market for horses too. My other horse is with my trainer... her son who is 26 wanted him instead of her selling him for me. Well, they are now showing and winningnod He just loves that horse...good match for him but not for me or boyfriend. Boyfriend got 6 broken ribs and 4 days in ICU trauma 2 yrs ago from that horse throwing him. I would still ride him to be sure he stayed under saddle but was always nervous cuz I aint no spring chicken and I dont bounce as good as I used tolaugh out loud
Oh, and as always thanks for all you do for us in the FFhug
I know you'll find one and Im sure you'll fall in love at first sight!!! whether he's trained or not. he might pick it up fast and love you more for training him. Its a life long commitment and if the love is there and the willingness for him to please ...... wow!! Sounds harder than man shopping!!! laugh out loud

Everyone should give a big shout out to Cindy for her generosity. We won a $50 GC to Mazzios which she gave to some needy people and here is the note she sent me.

WooHoo!!! The kids are gonna be happy!! I gave them my DVD collection of Harry Potter and a bunch of scary movies and they ate Pizza and had fun!!! Thanks. The kids Im giving them to have had a rough time the past few years. Their mom had brain surgery and had complications and their dad had to quit work and take care of her and the kids so they have had no money for anything extra. Shes doing well enough now so he has gone back to work t his dads lumber yard but they are still just getting back on their feet.

Cindy is just one of the many nice peeps here on SD.

Thanks Cindy.

she sure is

Hi Blondeey, I can't say if your dove will come back, but touching the eggs won't be what stops her.
I used to be into bluebirding , I've had to change nests with babies in them , I moved a nestbox to a slightly different location with eggs in it, and the parents come back.
My grandma had climbing roses along the sides of the porch and every year the cardinals would lay their eggs. They would let her touch them and count them and they had no problems except with the mailman!!!

My birds are eating me out of house and home. I have 8 seed feeders and have to fill them every other dayEEK! I have 2 pair of doves, several cardinals, lots of purple finches, and the pretty yellow goldfinches, bluebirds(not as many),blackbirds-different kinds, and sometimes those beautiful indigo buntings! Also have some hummingbird feeders-ruby throated hbirds come to the window where we put those feeders. Last week one got in my garage and got stuck hanging upside down in a thick cobweb. I got on a ladder and got him. He couldnt move he was so covered..he let me clean him off and rested on my hand about 10 seconds or so then decided to fly off...kind of slow but I think he made it. Was so cool holding him! So tiny! Have 1 blue heron that comes daily to fish. He is so big with those long stick legs. Stays right there when we are fishing too. So majestic when he flies off. Out front we have 2 very large red tail hawks. They are beautiful. I just love animals! God's creation is just so amazing bounce
When I was 12 I thought my grandma needed a pet. She loved her birds and I saw a humming bird that was so beautiful that I wanted to catch him for her. I walked up to it and held out my hand and just closed it around him. My grandma freaked out and thought I killed it!!! She was so sad and explained that she did love birds but she loved watching them in her yard not in her house so we took it outside and laid it in the trumpet vine where I caught it so it could die where it loved. It jumped up and flew in front of my face then went to her face and then flew off. Every day a hummingbird would come and follow her around the yard as she watered her plants and flowers. Every year when they came back there were more and more with it like a little family coming to see her til she died. Now I see one every now and then. Ive planted a trumpet vine in the back and just bought a real pretty humming bird feeder and Im seeing more daily. Every time I see one I think of my grandma. That became something special between us. Glad I didnt take her a bee!!! I was always good at catching those to. I always got a kick out of seeing peoples faces when I show them that a bee wont sting you unless it thinks your gonna hurt it.

I really enjoyed it when I was into it big time. One of the biggest threats to the bluebirds is the House Sparrow....they'll destoy the eggs, kill the mama on the nest and build right on top of her. I trapped the house sparrows and destroyed them.

Also birdboxes on trees......shake head Perfect spot for them to become raccoon dinner.

Someday I hope to get back into it. I put little cameras into the top of the nestboxes, hooked to tv inside house, watched them build their nests, lay their eggs, and feed the little ones. They accept a lot more than you would think, although I've been divebombed by many. Amazing stuff.
