Lookin' for me!!

Now I am playing with lesson 4b

I had lots of fun with the different toys for flickr. Most of them I wanted to use my own pictures one.

I did enjoy this toy called bubblr. Here is what I made it. Here is the link so you can actually see what I wrote. Lookin' for me by Sandra

Sugar Gliders aka Flickr post

This is my post using flickr.

Last week was our county fair. I am pretty busy at it as I help supervise the two different poultry shows. One of my 4-Hers sold his lambs & had enough money to buy a sugar glider. I got to see it & hold it. They are so cute and lovable. Here is a link to one on flickr. http://www.flickr.com/photos/aliciakidd/437202533/in/set-72157600899907162///

Sugar gliders are from Australia and New Guinea. They are possums. Now possums are different than opossums like we are use to in the south. Sugar gliders are marsupials which means they have a pouch. I have heard that the babies are about the size of a grain of rice. They have a 16 day gestation in the uterus & then they move to the pouch. They attach to a nipple (or a nibble, as my boys use to call it!) and remain in the pouch for 60 days. Sugar gliders are very scent oriented so one way to help them become bonded to you is to put a shirt you have worn in their sleeping pouch. Another way is to carry them with you in a small pouch during the day. They are nocturnal so they can be packed around quite easily.

Sugar gliders are quite pricey. I am trying to figure out how to get one for cheap. I have heard they are often impulse buys and when some people get them home, they don't like all the work they involve. If you know of a sugar glider that is looking for a new home, I would be interested in it!!

I think I will build my own cage as I do enjoy doing that. I can customise it that way. It also looks like I can make it lots of toys & pouches with the stuff around my house.

Now to think of a name....

RSS

I did some playing around with RSS. WOW, it is way easy to sign up for way to much!! I signed up a couple weeks ago for what I thought was a few things. WRONG!! Now I am weeding out the feeds I have signed up for while I am searching for more feeds.

Cool Site

I heard about a neat site. It creates word clouds. Now I didn't know what a word cloud was until I went to the site. It is called Wordle. A word cloud is bunch of words formed into a, sort of, cloud shape. The size of the word in the word cloud depends on how often it is typed in. I think I will play around with the program & then post some pictures of what I have created.
