DYK Rachel's MS principal just got a promotion...it was announced at a Board of Ed meeting so its official


DYK one of the parents on the MS list serve asked what the deal was....since its so close to the beginning of the school year they just appointed one of the AP the interim principal and will interview & appoint a new one next school yr


DYK a PTA parent said input will probably be requested from the parents via the PTA also as to candidates for the principal's position

DYK we have a specialty bird feed store up the road so a couple yrs ago DH bought suet cakes & a suet rack to put on his parents bird feeder


DYK the feeder had a pole & collar on it to keep squirrels out....the ILs said the squirrels then tried jumping onto it from a nearby tree but never succeeding in doing anything but splaying themselves lol

We actually like the squirrels.Although dh will get corn for them then he whines because he does not inderstand why they are eating the sunflower seeds,because after all he is feeding them corn;-)


In the summer we not feed them.Right now we have a family of racoons that come into our backyard nightly,so no food for anything since I can not stand the racoons.

DYK I actually wanted the rear backup camera but the GPS came in the package


DYK the satellite radio was free for 3 months....Mike would enjoy the music I bet since my DH liked it so much I bought him his own last Christmas

DYK to me squirrels are like rats w/furry tails, after all they are rodents


DYK thanks to my neighbor w/the bird feeder we had a psycho squirrel climbing on the side of our house like Spiderman since we have stucco


DYK daggone thing was so annoying since it then climbed up to our window & across the screen!


DYK then it came down after we kept going outside & staring at it...crazy critter

That is one reason we don't feed the birds during the summer.I do not enjoy wild critters coming near me on the deck.As it is I am wigged t have the racoon family visit us nightly everynight.Gab discovered them because her room faces our backyard and they tripped the motion light.Our cat also likes to sit with us on thedeck in the summer and he would not know what to do with any wild animal including a mouse.birds will taunt him,by flying in his face as he meows.

as far as I know, they don't get parent input to make appts. But, I don't know either.

LOL...don't those squirrels know they are limited to menu items...lol.

I like the squirrels, too. We have about 5 nests in our very back trees, and according to my students, an average of 3 squirrels live per nest (I work in a hunting community...they know more about nature than I do!).
