He actually started out as an AFL/VFL Richmond/Tigers (Aussie Rules) player and copper and became a football commentator way before the fishing thing - but he's a great bloke!

big oops - OH asked me a poignant question and I pushed the wrong button (question was ... "do I have a circle in the middle of my head") Being so ON TOPIC, it distracted me, but personally I liked the whole pic .... gave more perspective to the bald shot.

Mazuri

Postby kristymac » Mon May 14, 2007 3:40 pm

I have almost 40 pounds of Mazuri Omnivore diet that I would be willing to share. That size is the smallest you can get from them. So, if anybody around me here in PA is interested, I'll give a lot of it away. I am in Perry County. I live in Liverpool and work in Duncannon. I can have it at either place.

So, if you're going to be out my way, let me know.

It comes in hard nuggets....looks like large, dry dog food. I moisten it in hot water and then I use it as a base for my other foods. I just mix in greens and fruits and such.

40 lbs - sounds like you need more blueys! LOL. I found out that a local exotic vet sells the Mazuri products in her office and she repackages the foods into smaller (more practical) sized bags for customers. I just grind the Omnivore into a powder and mix in with the food.

I am so upset on my way home from the gym I hit a cardinal and killed him. I picked him up and brought him home I dont even know why I did. I keep crying cause I cant stand to kill anything. She was beautiful. I laid her on my front porch I guess in hopes I just knocked her out but I know better than that she hit hard. I hate having to drive big cars. normally birds are so smart. they stay away from them but she just flew right underneath mine. I am having a bad day. Hell I am having a bad year since january things have been going wrong.

Aww, not your fault. If not for humans and your car, the native carnivores that would still be plentiful in the area would have gotten her! Really though, everything is going to die, if she made it to adulthood nothing to feel bad about.

I'm sorry you had to deal with that today. I've only hit 2 things in 7 years of driving the first was a cat a pretty little 6-7 mo old calico girl someone had let roam their farm and she tried to run behind my front wheels their was nothing I could do thankfully she was gone before I even got turned around so she didn't suffer but I cried for 2 days and still get sick to my stomach when I pass that spot the second was a Grackle who dove right at my windshield. I also hate killing anything I even ditched my car and rolled it twice into a cornfield to avoid a deer that froze in the headlights. By the way I don't recommend rolling your car I had fun but then I was dating a guy who owned an auto body repair shop.



and yeah if it was red it was a male the females are a grey green color with very little red

I believe that would be an okapi? I've also seen zee-donk's that look kinda like that, thought the face is different. Neat animals.

Oh, and it's closely related to the giraffe. Odd beasts the lots of them! I want a pet giraffe...

The quagga is another interesting one, thought extinct:
