Paternal - Fathers can care too! Girl "chihuahua". Ground was wet and dug up for sod, so she didn't want to lie in wet dirt. Pic taken through window from inside. Boy dog much larger. I built the pool for the dogs - that's Paternal You better be careful, Bob. The neighbors will get a restraining order against you if you keep taking pictures of their pets. But, I agree with Jean, you sure are a good mama for those tadpoles. So sweet....

Wow!!! Congratulations El JeffA. Mighty nice!!!! I was actually thinking of inquiring with Scott what the process of entering is, not that I have anything worthy of competition or anything. But, after seeing the latest offerings I'm not even going to ask!!!! Great tumbles by all!!!!

Hey, there might be hope for you yet, captbob!!!! Ya gotta admit, that was an exciting game...even down to that last fumble!!!
Depending on the mindset of your neighbor, they may call an exterminator in due to an infestation of frogs....or fat lizards. When we alter something in the environment other things "change". An explosion of frogs and a decline in bugs, some bad...some good. Pollination goes down, parasitism of pest insects becomes less frequent, etc., due to the absence of the tiny predatory wasps and flies that the frogs ate. Soon you are overwhelmed by the slimey cudihapin worms that crawl out of the high, sandy water table and consume grassroots with a vengeance because the little predatory wasps that kept the adult stage of them in check have all been eaten by the frogs. The balanced ecosystem has become unbalanced....and the lawn disappears because the natural predators of the cudihapin worm were eaten by pet frogs. Soon, the yard is a moonscape...

What are those puffer frogs that kill dogs when they bite'em? Seems that kids were licking them for a buzz once upon a time. If that's the ones then this could be an answer to captbob's neighbor's big dogs...but, he'll have to be careful with his beloved chihuahuas.

That one petoskey stone would have been worth the trip for me. That is as good as they come. I liked the tube idea too. A couple outrigger arms hanging off with styrofoam on the ends might make it more stable in rough water. Chuck Outriggers may help but I'd bet that once there is some ballast in the bottom of the bucket that it's not tipping over. Of course, I could be wrong...the captain of the Edmund Fitzgerald was. The heavier it's loaded the lower it will ride in the water. Nice rig, Rob! Nice petoskey, too!

Opening soon....."Captain Bob's Bait Shop", operated by the ol' tadpole spooner himself.... Seriously, you owe the *lizards* big time...not the other way around. Imagine if all those frogs lived....wet frogs stuck to the door handle of your car, the door, sitting in your lawn chairs, on your windows, on the water hose handle, on top of your head. Grabbing a wet frog every once in a while is easy to deal with...having those wet amphibians suddenly appearing in your hand or on your neck on a regular basis might get a little interesting. So, is your wife one of those that squeals when something cold, wet, and moving surprises her? Kinda like one of the plagues of Egypt. Do we have a name change coming, CaptTadpole? ? <g>

I see the list with the checkboxes, checked one, did not see a submit button. Pardon the ignorance of a new member. Oh, and if you want to change your mind then simply click on the check mark and it will disappear which will allow you to put a check in a different box.... ETA: Well, if you really change your mind you really don't have to click on the check mark to do it...just do it....change your mind, that is. If you want to change your *vote* that is when you click on the check mark. You are allowed to change your mind without clicking on the check mark but to change your vote you have to click on the check mark. Is this getting confusing??? I'm still waiting on that O'bama money.......it's the, uh, gimmie a minute, the uh, depression!!!! Yeah, that's it!!!! I wonder if i need to go look in the mailbox, I bet it's already here and I'm sitting here running my mouth about it!!!!................... ...........................................................................tick tock....................................................................tick tock................................... ....................Nope! Not there. He's gonna mess around and lose my vote, that's for sure!!!!!!!!!! (O'bama, that is, not the mystery tumbler. ) WAIT A MINUTE!!!!!!!!! O'bama ain't an RTH member is he? !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ...where's my meds......... ...---... ...---...

Don't feel bad, Tommy. I was on the list and thought I was getting tagged for something cool I did or because I'm just a super cool guy from the 70's but when I checked the post out I ended up just being part of the herd. I think I'm sinking into depression....reckon O'bama (he's Irish, ya know) would send me some O'bama money?...oops, straying off course there. Ok, now to go vote...I tell ya, that #1 is so fantastically polished and with such clarity to it that you can't even tell it's there!!!!! Hmmm.....
