My daughter is generally doing well. She gets good grades, is trustworthy and I've had no major problems.
Lately she has been hanging out with an odd fellow. He seems pleasant but what strikes me as odd is that he wears pink feathers attached to all of his jackets. Is this a sort of gang symbol or something I should be worried about? Thank you in advance for any advice. |

Speaking of flamingos, I just read somewhere that they are scared of predators, so they only shut 1/2 their brain when they sleep, and they sleep with only one eye closed. They rest 1/2 their brain, then the other 1/2.
-------------------- me (saying goodbye to my niece and nephew): Bye monkeys!
Nephew: Your hair looks like a banana. (after taking money out of a bank machine) nephew: Cool!! Can you do that again and give it to me? Me: I dunno, I'll discuss it with Zaidy and get back to you. |

I always wondered how they could fly for so long. I get weird when I've been awake for too long... QUOTE (Pinchas @ Dec 19 2007, 05:06 PM) There are lots of flamingos in the Jerusalem zoo... Yeah, some are hot pink, some are light pink. They make the water pink and that makes them pinker, according to the blurb written by them. -------------------- me (saying goodbye to my niece and nephew): Bye monkeys!

I do, I've migrated quite a bit the last 3 years...back and forth...9 flights in total. QUOTE (Pinchas @ Dec 19 2007, 05:58 PM) But do they get pinker by drinking the pink water or by swimming in it? That is the question. I think it's drinking, not swimming, but I can't remember. I haven't been to the zoo for almost 2 yrs. -------------------- me (saying goodbye to my niece and nephew): Bye monkeys!

We had a group trip there back in August. I'll let you know if we are having another one... but you might not get the oleh discount, though you might get the student discount I guess which is probably the same price anyway... -------------------- There are a number of ideas that literally form the backbone of Judaism.

I know, when I went the baby elephant was a new born. I heard he's getting bigger now. I have to go again one of these days, but it's kinda dumb to go by yourself. -------------------- me (saying goodbye to my niece and nephew): Bye monkeys!
