Seems unusual, Owl.

It's how they check your credit Owl...can't get or do anything anymore without a credit check.
8:42 am
72 Temple Owl
the online form would not go through when they tried. and it is prepaid so if the charge does not go through, no service. they said it's required for anyone who will be billed and there is only one form.
8:42 am

so phae is the only person who had had to do this?

They want to make sure you are paying other bills and you are a good credit risk

8:45 am

phae: it's PREPAID. I gave them the credit card. they charge it immediately and every month. if the charge is declined, the service is cut off.
8:45 am
penquis
it's wh + ending like the road runner's sound...
8:45 am
72 Temple Owl
as opposed to postpaid, where you use the service and then they bill you.
8:45 am

She visited twice in the last 5 weeks, Crossy, and each week I lost 2 lbs from our hiking.
8:55 am

Crossy, if you compare them to other ultralight canoes/kayaks, they are a bargain. Plus, the ease of use makes them worthwhile.

Blasted deer. One of them ate the top off of one of my newly planted sunflowers.
8:59 am

Oh, no. Sunflowers are so tough to grow. They are fragile when growing.
8:59 am

bunnies ate buds off a couple of my fave lilies . . . . but they're sooooo cute LOL

When we lived further north, we used to plant two gardens--our own with 6 foot tall chicken wire fencing surrounding it, and another for the deer filled with lettuce.

Took the dog for a walk yesterday through the field behind my neighbors house. Spotted lots of black raspberry bushes. I want to dig them up and transplant them in my yard. A project for late fall, early winter.
9:38 am
amelu0218
Make sure you have them in an area you can contain. I can't get rid of the darned things, they multiply worse than bunnies...
9:39 am
Judi
Good! Want them to multiply. We had a huge cultivated row in our garden at our house in NY. Hope the new owner didn't chop them down. We fought the birds tooth and nail for those berries.
9:39 am
amelu0218
(mine are wild, not intentionally planted)
9:41 am
Judi
We used to be able to pick tons of wild ones in NY as well. Hubby was addicted to them.
9:42 am
Judi
Do you pick/eat them, Amelu? They are delicious and very good for you.
9:42 am
amelu0218
that wouldn't be so bad. mine spring up anywhere we don't cut the grass... so, segos, azaleas, monkey grass, etc and all are painful to try to clear away... of course, we have trumpet vines that do the same... *rolls eyes*
9:43 am
Judi
Sounds like a case of jungle fever.
9:43 am
amelu0218
Ours matured early this year. They came out in April instead of May, but the grandsons didn't mind. They got most of them before the birds and daddy made a cobbler with the ones they didn't eat on the spot, lol...
9:44 am
Judi
lol. When it gets that wild, it's called "habitat".
9:44 am
amelu0218
it would be if we didn't cut as often as we do, lol.
9:45 am
amelu0218
oh, there's plenty of habitat here. we live w/in a mile of wildlife management property/swamp/river...
9:47 am
Judi
Nice. Technically, the berry bushes I want are in the state park access area in said field.
9:51 am
Judi
I will have to wear my ninja camo and take my machete to hack through the wild grape vines to get to them.
9:52 am

heh. well, you shouldn't need much if you have a spot prepared for them.

10:55 pm
Bugsaw
hi stid. depends on how you feel.
10:55 pm
Bugsaw
glad you made it through another school year!
10:59 pm
stidmama
hey bugs! :-) Yep. AND now moving rooms.... I volunteered for this, but it's a LOT of work! LOL oh well, keeps me moving, otherwise I'd be a permanent fixture on the sofa... did you feel the earthquake that was up your way today?
10:59 pm
Bugsaw
no. too small and far away
11:00 pm
Bugsaw
will you have the same grade next year?
11:00 pm
stidmama
good. I was worried you'd be picking up things that had fallen.
11:01 pm
stidmama
Yes, still third grade. Told the students on the 14th just before they left that I had to stay in third grade until I "got it right" LOL A couple said (in jest, playing along!) that it might be a while...
11:02 pm
Bugsaw
love those ones who feel confident enought to tease teachers!
11:02 pm
mcurlschool

HI Bugs
11:03 pm
stidmama
LOL (((((mcurl)))) I am SO glad you are staying at the school. I can barely stand that G has retired!
11:03 pm
Bugsaw
25 years with the same grade would not be possible for me. I like variety
11:03 pm
mcurlschool
Only left because my co-hort retired. Now, I'm going to hang with Stid and hit ALL the grades!
11:03 pm
stidmama
I had a unique and wonderful class this year -- we played and enjoyed making jokes a lot. :-)
11:05 pm
stidmama
I am looking forward to the new class, though -- don't know who I am getting, but very excited to get to "try again" -- only this time with an actual math curriculum!
11:07 pm
