Hi Marian,

What an honor to have you visit the POTW.  You were here quite some time before me and it took a while to locate you.  If was because of the list of the top forums that I found you.

Now that there are popups it wouldn't take that  long to find you.  Thank you for all the humor you bring to us.

Hello Bird Lady,  You would be proud that I am particapting in a sutdy by Cornell University called feeder watch.  We spend time each week monitoring our lockal metro park bird feeders and count the birds that come to eat.

So far the largest count has been 14 house finches. It is a fun way to contribute to protecting our feathery friends.  On a sad note the blue jays are very much absent as they were taken by West Nile Disease in our area of N.W. OHIO.

No Judy have not been POTW as it was never a goal.  Without a goal one never gets here.  We have to visualize and work toward a goal as you know.

Well now I am here, and my goal is to not miss any posts. Seeing good friends here is inspiring. Thanks for being one of those good people. 

Hi Judy,

Thank you for stopping in.  As two grand ol ladies maybe we could arrange to have lunch together to discuss this younger generation.  What do you think?  Better yet we could meet in Vegas where James Maxwell will welcome and entertain us in the glichy  city of Los Vegas.

Thanks for being such a good friend.  You wrote a very nice article about my "Celebration of our Different Cultures"---a bady neglected forum right now.
