In case anyone is interested - Bobbolink -
TakesAVillage, myself and a few others have taken her matters into our hands.

Progress is being made - and there is once again hope where there was none.

TAV, a true advocate for homelessness, is on the road as we speak - please send her your good wishes on her journey.

Feel free to PM me if you have contructive energy or time to offer.

Thank you,
(and since I've been *outed* ;))
Gil

3. Many things,
but, with permission, I'd like to add you to my buddy list and PM you with updates as we go along.

I'm quite busy being *The Nerve Center* today but will write all who are interested this evening.

Thank you!

6. It is our pleasure and
I feel it would be best for me to fill you in through PMs.

With your permission, I would like to add you to my buddy list and PM all who are interested later today with more in-depth information.

Sorry to be vague, but I do not want to *broadcast* details.

Thank you so much!

19. thanks so much for this news
I'm at a loss for adequate words.

The last couple of days have felt sort of hopeless and this is like waking up to a new world.


So happy that someone is close enough to get there to be of help to Bobbolink.

"TAV, a true advocate for homelessness, is on the road as we speak - please send her your good wishes on her journey."

TAV is an angel, as are you all.
Thank you TAV and other people who care! Thank you so very much! O8)

please pm me if you think that i can help.

:grouphug:

ps - much love and hugs to bobbolink!

34. Is Rebbi the Rabbi's frog?
I did, but he is indisposed tomorrow afternoon.

Told him we'd go ahead and get her moved into a unit of HER choice on Sat. Hopefully he will be able to help with that expense soon.

Meanwhile, we'll go ahead and get it paid for a few months upfront and I asked him to kick in just in case we do not have a dwelling for Bobbolink sooner rather than later.

Hi mini-us and the poochkas! :grouphug:

49. that little bird
the ouzel, is known for its bobbing movements says the wikipedia.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dipper

and

http://ibc.hbw.com/ibc/phtml/especie.phtml?idEspecie=5701

The scenery is always great wherever there are birds to watch!

But we missed you and are very happy that you're back with us now.

55. Yeah, the ouzel (aka American Dipper) will stand at the edge of the
water, and just keep bending it's "knees", giving that bobbing effect. It's so cool to watch.

But, what I really like is the nonchallant way it has of just wading in and walking underwater. ^_^

I love it when I come across one. Especially in the winter, and they just go under the ice, then bob up somewhere else.

Thanks, glc.... yes, I'm back to bedevil you. ~~chortle~~
