That's another reason to move to Christie1111s house. Your phone would have been fixed by now.

Woohoo! The Top 100 is in sight! And green . . . I've always wanted to be green!

Maybe I should give my students a pop quiz today. Then I could spend the rest of the day making gratuitous posts . . .

And you could be an extra lookout for crazy bomber type people.

But your time would be compensated for with food and WiFi access.

I'm ready for food and WiFi!

I am beginning to think Evil Squirrel has moved from Annie's back yard to mine.

The squirrel doesn't count.... and besides, he'd alreday be on the list if he did....

There are currently 7 BB's on my tracking list that have between 200 and 249 posts.....


davei2000 - long gone BB

odyssey - Posted a bit towards the end of the TUB, followed us over here, posted a bunch more, but left 9 posts shy of immortality...

tennisbum - Posted mainly in 2005, infrequently in the years after, never followed us to this Bored

franktangredi - Most likely to be #250 with 250....

ksbirchtree - Talk about a slooooooow climb up the rankings!

WaitWaitDontTellMe - Another '05'er who I seem to recall lost computer access, promised to come back but never did.... ala MMCJCL....

kerrzog - Northern Girl, whatever happened to her....?


snomaim is just below the 200 threshold..... he posted twice over here and disappeared....

Thanks as always for doing this, LB.

This was Squirrel Rescue 2007!! I found this baby squirrel hiding by the side of a tree shaking, crying and scared and what I thought a broken leg. Stayed back for a while waited to see if the mother would come but over an hour nothing. Decided to call Society of Saint Francis No-Kill animal shelter and they got him to a squirrel refugee. One phone call the next day and the little one had recovered from Hypothermia and no broken bones!!

Refugee Baby Squirrel
My wife recently took responsibility for this little guy, he was found at a local center. She took him in, feed him, watered him, and now he's out and about the property

Squirrel Refugee
Long story short, I found myself face to face with this little critter around 5:30 this morning. There's a reason he looks a little ticked off -- he's been locked out of his former home -- our air conditioning unit.

More cute squirrel pictures for Annie to come and fawn over!

All together now....... Aaaaawwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!
Squirrels are the architects of forests, the planters of trees, nature's own acrobats and show a zest for life that can inspire us. Every day should be National Squirrel Appreciation Day!

--squirrelmama (10/3/07)

Many of these (squirrel) migrations were probably caused by food shortages as well as habitat overcrowding. We solved that for them. We not only reduced their habitat, we reduced the whole species by about 90%. The least we can do now is share a little birdseed with them.

I dunno where this edition name came from, but it was no trouble at all to find a couple dozen "squirrel refugee" pics.

I think she might not fawn over the AC refugee. A couple more days and he probably would have chewed through all the wiring in it. And the wall would have been next. :shock:

Congrats to all the greens. I am just glad to be hanging on to third place (of the second hundred :wink: )

Thanks for the expanded version of the rankings LB.
I felt the change
