become a licensed bat rehabilitator
Just something I've always wanted to do.. 8 months ago

Had a friend who was one many, many mango seasons ago.. Last I had heard, rabies shots have been rumored to be an absolute must-do.. Owwwwie.. ;))



build and place my own bat houses (read all 4 entries…)
*FINALLY* got them hung up a few weeks ago.. 8 months ago

Spot is out front and is not ideal, but the wildlife in my yard and I seem to have no problem coexisting seriously side by side.. :))

Something was on my roof making the worst awful sad sound I’d ever heard.. Being at night and as high pitched as it was, could only imagine a wayward young bat on the rooftop begging the parent to return.. Hmm.. Next step needs to be…....

Locate someone who rehabs..

Or become one myself.. Something else I’ve always wanted to do.. :grin:



teach, encourage others to self-advocate (read all 3 entries…)
Empowering others is so simple.. 8 months ago

Just listening without judgement provides (sometimes much needed) Value to another..



Donate blood
How I found out I had too much iron in my blood, too.. 8 months ago

Interestingly enough to these fingertips.. :)

The [attendant] said too much iron showed up the same way anemia does in that little “float” test they do when you’re giving.. A quick run through their centrifuge test at that time told them it was too much iron rather than not enough..

Always somethin’.. :wink:

When all else fails, stumble upon some already made up.. 1 year ago

At the local Community Thrift Store, no less.. Complete with that “lived in” look already going on.. Cannot believe anyone would ever give something like that away, but am I ever grateful to whomever did..! :grin:

Next Step :: Where to put….........



fix my poor old Truck before she rusts away (read all 4 entries…)
*STILL* haven't accomplished Step One of this one (either).. 1 year ago

Sooner or later, the parts (and replacement rebuild kit) will inevitably bubble to the top once again..

With brake pads and rotors along with the starter needing to be taken care of on another (non-Stude) vehicle, am counting on those turning into a dry run for this one.. :grin:

Forget Step One (Travel to the North Pole).. 1 year ago

‘Pears Santie Claus has moved to North Georgia instead (thank goodness considering the cost of gas these days)..

Oh, and he drives, what else, a great big pickup truck with antlers for his hood ornament.. :giggle:

My Heart is with you all.. 1 year ago

JUST NOW got word that 120 of my national advocate friends with ADAPT (American Disabled for Attendant Programs Today) were arrested at the House Rayburn Office Building on Capitol Hill some time today..

Here’s hoping that the transport and jail are/were fully accessible and that all were treated with the same human dignity those arresting them would wish upon themselves..

Peace unto Us All..

Lao-Tzu.. 1 year ago

The more he gives to others, the more he possesses on his own.

Yet another 43Things quote found down over there on the right side, right there-->

Slower'n molasses doesn't begin to cover it.. 1 year ago

Hopefully better late than never will..?

FairlyFearless suggested the book, Bat in the Dining Room only some, oh, good golly, more than a year ago.. Yikes.. Where did the Time go..?

Now to go add BITDR to Froogle.. :D

Oh, and email my sister to tell her about it since we were just speaking BAT a few short days ago.. :)

Speaking of :: Dear Robots.. 1 year ago

Thank you for continuing to keep things like the acronym attribute around for those of us who wish to use it.. :D

So now they've swapped out for one of those newfangled heads.. 1 year ago

Digital, it is.. Dog was barking so I just happened to peek out and catch the Georgia Power guy doing the dirty deed..

Of course, I got terrified that they (and I) would finally see what my bill really was..

We did..

It was even less.. :GRIN:

I don’t how, but the bill was and has been just a dollar or two less yet than in years before..



advocate for psychiatric service dogs (read all 2 entries…)
The concept is certainly catching on.. 1 year ago

Got talking to a gentleman from North Carolina at last week’s quarterly NCD meeting.. He knew what psychiatric service dogs (PSDs) were along with already being well-versed in the obstacles they face in acceptance.. Very cool.. :)



own a studebaker truck
Fun for sure (when they run, that is).. 1 year ago

Just have to make sure you drive defensively as people tend to “drift” in your direction constantly while they’re checking it out.. Makes driving exciting (as if it weren’t enough already).. :)



Evolve discreetly into a 1950s domestic goddess
Got the truck to go with.. 1 year ago

‘Long as she doesn’t rust away before this particular Thing is checked off the list.. :))

Bless her Heart.. Swept a bunch of leaves (and one small plant) out of her bed today.. 1 year ago

PS.. Still haven’t located that dadnabbed carburetor…... :\



seek accountability for mismanaged mental health care
A fella can sure keep hoping.. :) 1 year ago

DOJ’s coming to town soon.. Will just have to wait and see what happens this time.. Well, I’m sure there’ll be some unsolicited correspondence, grin, but mostly it’s just wait ‘n see..



mail a postcard to The Robots from one of my 43 Places (read all 2 entries…)
Dearest Robots.. 1 year ago

Ol’ timers’ disease, I guess.. This may be as close as we get to you receiving one from these fingertips..

Got the place.. Got the card.. Got the (appropriately topical) stamp.. Just can’t seem to coordinate having all three in the same general vicinity at the same time..

HATE when that happens..

Cyber hugs always..

Learn how to paint with oil paints
Came close to buying the supplies a few weeks ago.. 1 year ago

Went something like this (while standing absolutely forever in the hobby aisle)..

Paints..

Food..

Paints..

Food..

Must have sustenance.. Must buy food.. Go home and find oil paints et al(l) cheaper online.. :giggle:
