Or, if you're interested, just Google 'nerissa barry olympics': that's what I did.<br /><br />Ha! Word verification: "flogic"! Some logic makes no more sense than flogging oneself?

It's on the Olympics and the steps they're taking to go green and decrease the environmental impact that it has. While sports is something far from the topic of your blog, I think that you will find it interesting and informative, and not overwhelming on the sports content, besides a few facts on the last Olympics, it is primarily about the Olympics going Green.<br /><br />I'm looking to spread awareness of the fact that even though the Olympic Games are fantastic and unifying, they are it's quite a carbon-rich event and are not that environmentally sound. <br /><br /><br />Nerissa Barry<br />nerdbarry@gmail.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12847808.post-20121726880868603132011-03-10T07:29:03.815-06:002011-03-10T07:29:03.815-06:00Britty, yeah, all the birds were (conveniently?!) ...Britty, yeah, all the birds were (conveniently?!) at the end of their life cycle and died off (one was euthanized due to blindness) right before the move up here in 2006. It *IS* so nice to enjoy the chirping again!<br /><br />Claire, oh, come on . . . ya gotta do it ONCE in a while! (The ramming of the car.) ;) And, your son is OBVIOUSLY a true MN boy, that's all! (Okay, except for eating the grey-slop snow, too. I wonder which is worse: that or the yellow snow?) ;)Chicken Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11704834273210183660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12847808.post-4339836527694637532011-03-10T06:05:10.019-06:002011-03-10T06:05:10.019-06:00Okay, I don't REALLY wish I were you (as I cli...Okay, I don't REALLY wish I were you (as I clicked in the box earlier) because I think ramming my car through snow banks in the middle of nowhere sounds very unappealing. HOWEVER, I do wish for your pristine snow! Actually, I wish for a 78 degree tropic beach, but that unlikely...I'd take pure white snow over the grey, nasty slop we have down here. And, how come my kid thinks ANY snow is good to eat, including grey slop??? Yuck! I should ship him your way!Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04959920540469457941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12847808.post-19654632184997292702011-03-09T19:29:11.151-06:002011-03-09T19:29:11.151-06:00It's been awhile since you've had birds, r...It's been awhile since you've had birds, right?! Well, very cool, although I prefer my birds to be outside of my house...which reminds me that Leah and I "caught" a sparrow? House something or other? the other day...opened the door to let Goldens out, and bird came in - scared ALL of us...but probably the bird more. 10 seconds of total adrenaline-fused excitement. <br /><br />Anyway, I digress...happy birding! Email me soon...will you!?!? Danke.<br /><br />LOL ha ha ha ha ha....turning 40 is not progressing my maturity...the word below is "payste"...ha ha ha "pasty?!?"

I have a finch book (that's what I wanted, too but can't right now) and you are correct, it recommends an odd number. Would love to see a photo of the little tweeties. You need to be in a commercial for Toyota, that Yaris can rival some of the escapades on my beloved Subaru commercials, and without the AWD, too! Drive safely, please! Dinner with a friend or dinner with a "friend"? I'm so nosy :)Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06916896512933101955noreply@blogger.com
