Okay now... I'm the curious sort... how on earth did you get that squirrel to sit on your shoulder?! 😲 @MadMongoose66

Ha! The trick was getting him off my shoulder! He fell out of a tree in a hurricane in my yard. Probably a week old. Fed him "cat's formula" from the veterinarian. "Rocket J. Squirrel" aka, Rocky was my best pal for 2 years, had his own apartment on my back porch, he greeted me as soon as I got off work and jumped and ran around on me like I was his favorite tree. Good times!!! Eventually he hit puberty and had to learn life. He came back to visit if he was hurt or hungry. I'd feed him or bandage him. Humans don't have love and empathy for defenseless furballs like him. "BRAKE FOR SQUIRELLS" please......

I love that story! He's adorable. Rocky... don't suppose you considered getting him a moose for a playmate? 🤭 There are a lot of them in the back yard here. (Squirrels, not moose!) They enjoy stealing the bird food and the lil' acrobats hang upside down from the suet cake feeders just to snack on that, too.
 
@MadMongoose66, good to have you join us. My condolences for the loss of your wife.

Welcome! I lost my wife of 30 years some years ago, and decided to get on with life. Here is a quote I think says it:
Grief is like the wake behind a boat. It starts out as a huge wave that follows close behind you and is big enough to swamp and drown you if you suddenly stop moving forward. But if you do keep moving, the big wake will eventually dissipate. And after a long enough time, the waters of your life get calm again, and that is when the memories of those who have left begin to shine as bright and as enduring as the stars above.

Is this forum a decent place to talk or scam?

If you are looking to scam, I'd suggest you scram. It is a right decent place. A good place to talk and visit as often as you like. I've been here only a few months, and would highly recommend it even though I've been occasionally spanked for what passes for bad behavior here. This sort of behavior I displayed would have passed as normal on FB. So be sure to follow the rules and the rules will respect you.

Well noted! The waters are getting calm for me finally and I pray the memories never fade. Thank you....

I think I may like it here. I hope my behavior is acceptable.

you'll be fine, as long as you remember 3 strict rules..
1. No discussing Politics.. if admin can tell which political side you support by your posts then you're in trouble..
2, No personal attacks.. altho' you will see a certain few ignoring this..but that happens in the best of forums
3... Always , always bring Hollydolly cake... :love:

ok..ok ignore the first 2 but just never forget the 3rd..

I'm a retired printer, musician and otherwise normal human. Widowed, lost my love a year ago. That's me in a nutshell.
