I'm grateful for you crusty old bats - Page 9

I'm trying to cut down, so one's my limit these days..

Moderation is the key. I tend to get a blood sugar spike when I eat too many.

You must be getting some of the good ones. I've gotten some sour, a few hot (headed), and MANY bitter.... where are you doing your newbie hunting ?

heh heh heh..... winter gloves must be webbed as well :d

maybe the cob cape and webbed gloves could become a part of the official an guide uniform. with an guide badge for guides and with an an badge for nonguides??

whoever isn't too decrepit, maybe get one of those gravity gizmos, and hang upside down at some time during the day (or is that ???)

just another old bat checking in!!!

have a permanent bald spot where your hair was removed with your cap when pulled off you head!!

one night i came home about midnight, took the dog out, and went upstairs to bed. our walk-in closet
extends across the entire shorter end of the bedroom and is about six feet deep. we have rods for hanging things on two sides, a built-in dresser with very deep shelves over it that go to the top of the 11'
ceiling. the fourth side is hooks and more shelves. i turned on the in-closet light, and began to hang up my clothes and/or put them in the hamper. suddenly, i felt rather than heard that i wasn't alone.

suddenly i was wide awake! many many bats were hanging upside down all over the hanging clothes, things folded on shelves, in our shoes, and in the hamper. i'm not a screamer, but i think my
scream was heard in the yukon territory! they just looked at me as if to say, "turn out that light and close the door! we're sleeping!"

i called a contractor friend of ours and he came -- still in his pjs! that's a really great guy!
they had to be removed alive and relocated to a nearby state park by bat experts. final count?
about 100. turns out we had a nickel-sized hole near the ceiling over the dresser. the good news is that a local bat conservation group did the relocation and home owners insurance paid for repairs.
and i didn't collapse!:d
