That is a cool story about saving that owl. However,

That owl looks like Ted Kennedy!

Love your owl story, and the photo him, managing to maintain his dignity after such a ruffling experience...)

[Calpernia]

ROFL!!!

[Calpernia]

Thanks. It was REALLY an exhilarating experience.

[lonestar]

Before me, there was a little owl that would come every night and perch on the rack of lonestar's station wagon. About a year ago there was an owl on the telephone line in front of our house. lonestar wonders if it was the same owl.

That's the one thing I don't know.

Mornin', everybody ! Happy Tuesday !!

Well, I messed this all up yesterday when I posted it.

I took THIS image and played with it a little and made it into the one near the bottom of this post ...

This was written by Freeper Congressman Billybob ...

"Texans for Sale or Rent"

[To the Roger Miller tune, Trailers for sale or rent] ...

Texans for sale or rent / Having our room service sent / Lounging ‘round by the pools / Playing our whole state for fools ....

We know every lawyer in every court / And all of their partners, and all of their torts / And every hangout, in every town/ And every lock that ain't locked when no one's around ....

Texans for sale or rent ....

With my apologies to the good Freepers and lawyers here. No offense intended ...

And that article is a LOT more than that little song parody, too !

Billie, I notice that the PhotoDeluxe has some features very similar to MS Paint that I used to modify the Trial Liars pic ...

I used the PD software to clean up another pic and it really came out WELL, too, I thought.

I took this pic ...

... and removed the text at the bottom like this:

I just BET I could go for that Trial Lawyers pic again and do a BETTER job this time !

"I'll be back !" ...

[Billie]

Egads! Yuck! And all that! I think you need to clean up more than the 'text' on that one! (But why would you even 'want' a picture like that on your server?!)

Actually, Meekie, I don't know how anyone ever does anything in MS Paint! LOL! You'll find more and more things you can do in PD the more you experiment. :)

[Billie]

Oh, Cal - what a sweet story - have heard you talk about your 'owl' in some of the other threads. I'm so glad you posted his picture and told us his story here today.

[lonestar]

Good morning to all my FReepet friends.

Hi Giz, Codee and Fred.

Now that I'm a politician, I have to be very careful what I say in public but I'm learning to work "under the table." Don't tell lonestar!

[The Thin Man]

Tough break, Gizmo! Pretty mean trick by 'mom' to post your pic after the "I Goofed!!!!" message. A not so subtle attempt by her to give the impression that it's your fault when we both know it isn't. :-)

SUMMPER VACATION!!!!!!!

Giz, you'll probably be blamed for that too. :-(

[Billie]

How cute! So is Shelly the only one who went on this particular vacation? LOL!

[Billie]

I'm so glad that Barkley and Pig helped your dad through the chemo and that he's been given the good word, "Remission".

You know if you hadn't posted the picture of those two adorable critters, we just 'might' think that Pig was a - well - pig instead of a kitty. What a name!

[FreeTheHostages]

LOL, looks like YOUR pets spent their summer vacation trashing your computer?

Hmm, well, my cats haven't had their summer vacation yet. But they're planning a brief trip to the Hamptons. They have some socialite cats they'd like to see there. They plan to work on their grooming while sipping martinis by the pool with the kitty-limousine crowd.

But in reality I think that they'll back out of their travel plans. 'Cause for cats, at least female fixed cats, there's no place like home!

[Billie]

Hi, Maggie - hi, Binky! I'm not surprised that Binky 'talks' - he comes by it naturally! Look who his 'mom' is! LOL!

Maggie, seriously, thank you for the way you continue to always keep us informed and entertained - you're such a special addition to the Finest.

[ST.LOUIE1]

Good morning, everyone!!

One weekend I decided to take my pup, Mitsy, fishing with me. I caught fish, she caught FLEAS!! And she was very generous in spreading them around, she gave them to my cat and my other pup, Grady.Some heavy duty bathing took place, I'll tell ya. : )

I'll be back later.

[Billie]

Hey, Flyer - go for it! You know that's where your heart is. :)

[deadhead]

"Where is my Binky Boy?!"

Oh Binky boy, putting a scare in your Mom. Sounds like you found yourself the perfect place to call home :-)

P.S. I am not so brave when it comes to thunder, I stay very close to my Mom too.

Lucy

[Calpernia]

Thanks Billie (and good memory!). I try to keep stories to threads where they seem to compliment. This way I'm not constantly 'hijacking' threads ;)

[deadhead]

Wow, awesome story about the Owl. Great photos. Keep us updated, hopefully the owl has a full recovery and can be rereleased.
