Renai Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Ikslo, some way I missed that great photo, found it! Love the skull, and your kid is great too! How much did you bribe him to take that picture? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ikslo Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 No bribe necessary, Renai. He couldn't wait to get home and see Harry. He was examining it for like an hour, and I just snapped the first picture, after he went and got the flashlight on his own.The second picture I suggested one of all three, but the smile was all his.He's handsome. It's in his genes. :laugh: 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Ay, pobrecita. What did you tell her? I first did the "But Mom, you're retired!" shtick. But I quickly realized that she had no idea where she is living or what her age is now. So I just made encouraging noises. She won't remember what she's planning and she's on a locked ward. It isn't like she can really follow through, you know? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsuga Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 I could *kill* my husband right now. John has been excited about the baby for like a year and a half. He's talked about how he's going to hold the baby, how he's going to feed the baby, how he's going to sing the baby to sleep, how he's going to read to the baby before bed, how he's going to share Mickey with the baby... this is like an everyday thing. Well, Matt is now concerned that if he talks about it that people will figure out that I'm pregnant (95% sure on that) so he tells John that there is no baby, but there will be some day. John cried for like 20 minutes. Mommy fixed it. I was so pissed. There was absolutely no reason to bum him out like that. I swear to god what. is. wrong. with. men. sometimes. I'm the least empathetic woman I know and even I wouldn't say that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Good Morning ITTers. Slache, thanks for the encouragement, but I don't run in the dark. (Need a chicken emoticon) Because bats. (Do bats hibernate?) Yes. Bats are absolutely amazing creatures with phenomenal echo location. A car cannot go fast enough to confuse a bat and hit it. Brilliant, elegant, brave, enduring, hideous creatures. If you know someone who owns Apologia Flying Creatures ask if you can borrow it and read the section on bats. You can do it in a day. It really just scratches the surface of the awesomeness that is bats, but it's a good read. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Openhearted Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Good Morning!!!!! When we went to a cave on a field trip last winter, there was a bat hibernating. It was very small. It was hanging from the top of the cave upside down. I hope Texasmama got some sleep. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They only have a small amount of energy and it takes a lot to wake up so if you wake them up too many times they'll die in their sleep. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slache Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Then I don't think I can go fast enough either. :hat: I wonder what time of year I can safely count on them being in hibernation? It depends on the type of bat. I think there are over 2,000 kinds. Typically snow means no bats. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellie Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Have been on the phone for a few minutes. Waiting for a call-back. ETA: Texting some with the sil who did receive the letter about the situation. She says that possibly the baby's father's half-sister might have taken him. Also, he will be 3yo in November. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
