They just had a local news story on. A woman talking with the caption under her that said, 'Hit by fish'

Seems she was jogging when all of the sudden she was hit by a fish that fell out of the sky. They kept showing the fish. Weighed as much as a half gallon of milk, they say. She was traumatized. I was laughing. She has a little scar from fish hit. Her doctor is putting her on ice packs and antibiotics.

A bird must have dropped it. Now I want to be hit by a fish. I just want to call into work and say that.

Made me think of The Mist, and some Dean Koontz novel similar. This happened to me yesterday - outside with Ogre still arguing about paint colors. He points to a blue and black skink on the side of the house - thick, slick, scurrying. He goes back in and I keep painting different colors (this has to be decided by tomorrow at 7am). I walk back into the house and thunk! Something's on my head, and then claws down my back. I'm screaming, can't even talk. Ogre comes outside and is dying laughing at me. Effin skink jump ON MY HEAD, scurried under my shirt and down my back. I'm surprised I didn't tinkle.

I have to work until 2 today. You'll have to tell me about CBS Sunday morning when I get back. I've set it to record. Will be watching at bedtime though. Long day ahead.

Whaat? Skunk? musta been a baby one.! I'm pretty sure I would know if a skunk jumped on me head. Thank gan you wear your avatar hairdo everyday! Chipmunk? I have one hanging around here.

My sister had a brilliant idea to bring a skunk home as a pet one time. They are not kittens. Not even close Deskunked. I forget his name. I took him for a walk on the leash once.

Something happened.

Latched onto my hand and would not let go. shake it off, shake it off.
no. Bloodfest, starring my hand.

Forgot about Sunday Morning again! On now. what? Wendy Williams? eh.

Woke up at exactly 9:11 this morning. Weird.

Nadine, a frog fell out of the sky at my feet while I was outside on the deck reading. Had to jump from the roof or dropped by a bird. THUMP. I look down and a pale green frog leaps from the deck to the grass. This happened last week. Made me think of the Stephen King story 'Rainy Season'. ;)

Ok, Doc, I'll see yer frog, and raise ya one bat. Had one flop on top of me once, just as I was laying down to sleep. Felt it flop, tossed the blanket over it, got up, turned on the lamp, then parted the covers. There it was, the snarling little Reggie Nalder/Nosferatu looking bastard, brrrrrrr....

I hate bats.

a 'skink'? - wow - that's the trouble with living in Canada - not enough skinks around to liven up your day :monkey::m_dizzy:

p.s. I am pretty sure I have never seen a skink in real life - are they cute?

okie dokie - NOW I see - I have heard of these little lizards and saw lizards in Mexico but they are not something we have up here normally.

(I think my Dad might have bought one once back in the 60s to put in our fish aquarium) It was some sort of aquatic lizard - poor thing got trapped between the filter and the tank and died.

Wait, that's where the story ends? How the heck did a bat get in your house? Flying rats, what's to love? Lol
I see 2 or 3 bats in the evenings, at dusk, swooping around the security lamp and eating moths but never had one get in the house. Ha! How'd you get rid of it? Cover it with the blanket?
