Click to save the rainforest (#52 - Down but not out)

After checking our numbers - we have slowed in our clicking ever so slightly and should now pass the Carolyn team on or about the 11th of Oct, 2004

Ahh, the unpredictability of statistical analysis. Or, to quote from Burns - "the best laid schemes of mice and men go often awry." (Loose quote/paraphrase) grin

Thanks for the recipes danon and ul. They look yummy! I think they will get a lot of play at my house this winter.

I hope you're right about the rain, stradee-- our pond in Placerville is almost gone-- the poor fish and frogs are barely surviving. And the fire danger has been so high we don't dare even use the mower. Both of our wells have gone dry. We need lots of rain.

I clicked.

justsusan,

the sky very clowdy and temps dropped considerably compared to the usual warmer temps of the past few weeks.

boy, we've had a terrible summer for fires in CA, high alerts still posted for our area. we certainly need more rain than whats been reported.

the wildlife <coyotes> returning from their summer quarters - deer abundant and grazing nearby. perhaps a sign for a good rainy season.

keeping fingers, eyes, and toes crossed for luck...

Hi, everyone! Just have time for a quick hello today. wayfarer and I are all clicked for...

The s-i-l from you know where has been trying to cause more problems with my m-i-l's estate so that's taken up more time than she's worth lately. She's a pain, but as soon as this is all over I never have to see her again. What a relief that will be!

Also, my m-i-l's house has been up for sale for a short time and already we have some offers on it so that's interferring with some of my online time, but hopefully this too will be temporary.

Pumpkin soup. I've heard of it, but never had any before. After reading the recipe for it, I think I'm going to have to try it. It sounds really good!


just susan...

I'm glad your night out with your brother was fun. I imagine your dad was glad that the two of you went out, too. I know that when I'm not able to go and do something for whatever reason, I always feel bad whenever it causes others to not go and have fun, anyway. You just have to take those breaks every now and then - they're good for all of you. I'm still holding you all in my thoughts...


danon and ul...

I'll have to take a look at your photos when I get a little more time to stay on the Internet, but I'm really looking forward to seeing them.


danon...

I've noticed that the team that used to be ahead of my sub-team has either stoppped clicking or has really slowed down during the past couple of weeks. Enough so that I've even passed them. I'm wondering if the hurricanes may have caused some of the teams to either lose clickers or the ability to click. Just a thought.


Stradee and just susan...

We've been having quite a bit of rain up here in the Seattle area for the past couple of weeks and even more is predicted. We've needed it badly because everything got so dry over the summer. With much cooler temperatures and everything being so wet and the trees changing color, I have no doubt that Fall has arrived in the area. Hope you guys get some of your much needed rain down there, too. Actually, it's kind of nice for a change, but I still prefer Spring over any of the seasons...everything starts over and is new again in Spring. I like that best.


Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Matrix and justsusan,

well, no rain - yet. Sun peeked through the clouds about 4:00 bringing clear skies ever since. lots accomplished indoors though - and tomorrow will begin tackeling the yards. Was hoping the expected rain
would take care of watering the gardens tomorrow though. shoot - football games Sunday and i'll be 'rushing yards' (hehehe) during network commercials!

Matrix, good hearing m i l's house moving right along, and the estate will be settled soon. Hang in there!

justsusan, good hearing you're able to spend quality time with your dad.

Sending best wishes and prayers. ~S~

Hi all,

Good clicking this Sunday morning.

Matrix,
Glad to hear your ordeal is coming to an end. Let's all celebrate when it's finally over.
You have a good point about the weather interfering with clicking - it's possible. I like to think that your team is moving up so fast because of your real concern for what's happening to our rainforest - and the environment - as a result of it's destruction. It takes honestly dedicated people to make an impact - like the Wildclickers!!!!!!!

For all who are interested - here is the place to go to get Pumpkin Seed Oil..........
http://www.centralmarket.com/cm/index.jsp
Just click on the "Contact us" at the bottom of the page and then choose the site you want to email. I have dealt with the Dallas, TX store. Chris Byro is the person who will answer you and he is so absolutely helpful. He will get the Pumpkin Seed Oil to you in the manner you choose - overnight or regular mail, etc. The oil they have is named "Cucina Viva" and comes in 8.5 oz container at $10.99. That is a very good price - about the same as most places in Europe. You can mention the Hampton's from E Texas to him if you want.

good morning wildclickers!

Plants and lawns singing, tv sports, food prepared, AND daughter called just to say "hi ma"

Danon, wayfarer, dlowan, woodworker, and all wildclickers, have a
great Sunday!

I've been visiting hamburger and mrs. hamburger this weekend. My hometown had some serious flooding from the storms that followed Frances. Hard to believe that we've got hurricane-related damage up here in Canada.

you guys make sure you click on the other stuff like Children button and breast cancer

ehBeth, difficult to believe the magnitude of the storms hitting the U.S. and Caribbean islands - and yes - surprising Canada getting the brunt of those storms. Hope all is well with your house.

Has anyone heard from Letty? Sending good thoughts to our friends living in Florida.

Husker, thanks for the reminder!

Rain stopped for the time being - but we're expecting thunder storms later this evening. Susan, the rain lasted all day - a very welcome surprise for the Sierra's. You may be able to work on the property in Placerville next weekend! Not sure about using the mower, but the ponds been refreshed from the rain. Yaaayyy for the fishies!

Local angle on the 2004 hurricane season from the Lehigh Valley newspaper.

Bethlehem, PA couple--snowbirds in retirement--lost a good chunk of the roof of their Florida condo to Frances.

Yesterday thanks to the flooding brought on by Ivan the Terrible they were evacuated from their Bethlehem condo.

Neighbors in both states are considering making up a Relocation Fund for the unfortunate couple.

Noddy,
What misfortune for the Bethlehem couple. The most unfortunate person in history - IMHO - was the man who lived through the Hiroshima blast and then went to Nagasaki for safety. He lived through that one too.

All clicked in early.....

I clicked...been remembering to click everyday!

g'day all

clicked

I click every day too. But the topic reply notification in my mailbox helps remind me, so thanks to all of you for posting.

Good morning to all (afternoon to you eastern friends, evening to ul, and whatever the heck time it is down under).

Matrix-- I meant to say happy birthday to your grandmother and congratulations! So sorry about her fall. Good for her that she keeps going and you're so lucky to have her around long enough to get to know her from an adult perspective. My best wishes to her.

Stradee, I'm glad to hear there was a full day's rain-- maybe we'll see a bit of green next weekend. A day of rain then a few days of sunshine brings up the wild grasses. And fresh cool water for the fishes and frogs-- Hooray!

I've clicked.

Stradee, thanks for the avatar info. Someone on the PUP thread told me how to change the size easily using Adobe Photoshop, which is what I use. It will be fun to play around with it.

clicked!
