RN there is a possum sleeping at my back door.

I have several cats outdoors. One I know has a home but her people are too dense to keep her in in a blizzard. One hangs our with her. At least two others pass thru on a regular basis.

So I put out food for them tonight. I saw my first two both eat. I was curious to see if anymore of the food was eaten.

I turned on the light and opened the back door and was staring down a possum. I closed the door and I hoped before he ran away.

An hour later, I looked again and he was sleeping by the food dish. Guess he filled his tummy.

RN Gidget, from the Animal Totem web site "If an opossum appears in your life it is telling you to wake up and pay attention. Things are not what they seem. By observing your actions, reactions, thoughts and feelings deeper insights emerge."

Animals are here to teach us. We are supposed to pay attention to their message and thank them when they appear.

Wow thanks for that Dogdoc. I see him every now and then but usually after midnight. I guess I need to pay attention.

RN When an animal appears at an unusual time or place it is there for a reason.

It can be anything. A bird, an insect a dog or cat.

A lot of times the animal will pause to make sure you see it.

He definitely did pause. Usually if I put on the light and go out back when he is there he scurries off. This time he looked right at me and then turned but I went right back in. When I looked again, he was actually laying beside the dish and just sat up and looked at me.

Well with a foot or more snow on the way, I guess I will have some time to reflect on the experience.

I've never heard of such a thing. Really, thanks for pointing it out. I love stuff like that.

ETA I don't smoke in my house, that's why I see the possum after midnight.

RN: What if it's a dead possum? What does that mean?

Dead possum counts the same as a live one, it just doesn't look at you.

RN I am not feeling well and need to sit up for awhile. I am watching a chocolate show of Paula Deen (Paula's Party) and finding her so funny and delightful! I know some find her annoying, but I've been smiling the whole show so far. :-)

RN, oy not quickly. Caleb started feeling lousy last Thursday, just now feeling better. Dakota started Saturday and today was really bad for her. Thank goodness for the FSA card cuz I'm spending a small fortune on drs and meds and I need to drop off a prescription for Kota's albueterol (the little tubes for the nebulizer) that I think is the one that costs $50!

RN, I wonder why the local news from Buffalo and Rochester are both interviewing unhappy people in their airports. My gosh people, get a clue! Your destination is snowed in, what part of it don't you understand? These people are always SO angry with the airlines as if it would be smart to land in a pile of snow!

RN Huk and the airports have no control over mother nature. If anyone plans to travel at all during the winter you have to expect this.

RN I am thankful to my friend, Mame, for posting pics of my brand new three day old first grandchild, Audrey Nola, in my spanking new TVCH folder! Also, RN, I'm feeling much gratitude for her safe birth and happy healthy start to her life and for how beautiful and strong my daughter is for getting back up again after every obstacle on her way to bringing this baby into our family.

RN, I'm going back downstairs to the kitchen. Start my Valentine's dinner for DH.
He asked for steak and chocolate something for dessert.
I bought some really nice steak. I'm doing double baked potatoes, roasted asparagus, sauted mushrooms and onions.
Dessert I found on the Tastespotting site that TVCH mentioned in one of the cooking threads a while back. (Thank You whoever you were!)
It's a baked chocolate crust, with a dark chocolate ganache filling, topped with fresh raspberries. I thought it sounded yummy!

RN I am really trying to be understanding here, but my same neighbors that came over last month asking for some dog food because they couldn't afford some that week for their dogs (I scooped them up about 3 gallons of it to last awhile) and they almost lost their house this fall, just called to ask me if I could watch their pets while they go on a cruise. She said they just need to get away awhile. That's all I'm saying, but I think anybody could know what I am thinking

RN, is it possible that they won it or something like that? So it's a free trip?

If not, I would say no to watching them. If they can afford a cruise, they can afford doggy day care.

RN I am hoping they did win that cruise or that it was a gift. If not, Naja, if I were you, I'd have to work really hard mentally to have it not bother me. And...I would not watch their pets.

RN..oh, believe me, I questioned her and this is not a prize of some sort. She said they just need to get away. She must have sensed something in my tone because she called back and said she got hold of her brother and he is going to come stay at the house while they are gone, so I am off the hook. I truly was going to go through with watching the pets and just set my feelings about it aside.

I am a bit relieved for more than one reason. They have some GIANT exotic fish. I mean if you caught a bass their size you would be boasting. You have to feed them live smaller fish, and they have a smaller tank with about 50 feeder fish in it all times. I'm not sure I could have fed a cute little fish to a big fish without getting upset about it.
