Comment by Steph S. on November 22, 2012 at 2:56pm: Thank you Sentient for the turkey picture.

Joan I appreciate that turkey story. Thanks for the link.

I hope everyone is having a good day.

Comment by Sentient Biped on November 22, 2012 at 12:44pm: bird of the day.

Comment by Steph S. on November 17, 2012 at 10:12pm: Joan I noticed your question. I will research that topic for you.

Maybe I can make a discussion about it.

Thanks so much for your questions. I'm here to help.

Comment by Steph S. on November 17, 2012 at 10:11pm: I just had to watch that video again.

Makes me smile.

Thanks so very much Sentient - that is.
