Great theories one & all! I can't come up w/anything except possible past-life energies! Ah--are we not creatures of habit/routine? Darn--they COUNT the deer? What is the DNR plane? To me DNR means Do Not Resuscitate! I do so love deer! They have a regal attitude & their delicate graceful lines are breathtaking! We don't have nearly as many as we used to have. The poor things are being driven out of their natural habitat & running onto the road. It is so heartbreaking....... Hedgie

[hedgehogzoom]

OOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! So THAT'S what DNR means! Boy--was I off the mark or what? GIGGLE! Bb--did you think Do Not Resuscitate as well? LOL! Klvd--so--they really DO count the deer? Are they tagged? Hedgie

[klvd8220]

they count so they can determine what hunting zone is considered a T zone meaning you have to shoot a doe first before you can get a buck deer control for crop damage . I like your version of D N R better.17 in the back yard tonight had to cut up a couple trees that fell over feasting on all the young leaf buds .quite the sight to see -- Edited by klvd8220 at 02/11/2010 4:48 PM PST

Hedgie -- you are sooo funny. DNR -- do not resuscitate!!! Maybe the deer were 'frolicking' on the back deck causing untoward vibrations!!!]:)Must be why there are so many around. Is it mating season?? (BB -- Know you would love this response!!) Geoff

[hedgehogzoom]

My word! Wouldn't it be hard to count deer? I mean seriously, it's not as if they wear name tags........ oh gps--you are right--bb is going to have a field day w/this one! GIGGLE! Hedgie

[hedgehogzoom]

And it's not as if they wear numbers like the Serta Counting Sheep.................. Poor little darlings. Hedgie

I still like our physic theory...%^) At least you all GET a break - mine's home 24/7. Drives me up a wall some days...

[hedgehogzoom]

Agreed, Mouse! SMILE! Heavens to Besty--24/SEVEN? In my house I don't know who'd go nuts first--him or me! HA HA HA! Hedgie

Maybe all that "psychic energy," that karma from "being driven up the wall" just pushed that plate off the shelf!! My, my..... I am remined of the broken pickle dish in Edith Wharton's Ethan Frome. Have you ever read it?? Ethan is married to Zeena who is a sickly, wimpering hypochondriac. Her cousin Mattie comes to live with the Fromes in Starksville, MA, where the winters and the snow never seem to lift (can you identify with that right now???). Anyway, Ethan who feels trapped falls for the lovely, young, energetic Mattie, and on one night when Zeena is away from the farmhouse for an overnight visit to her doctor in the city, Ethan and Mattie have a somewhat reserved romantic evening. As part of it, Mattie uses Zeena's prized pink glass pickle dish (a wedding present which Zeena herself never uses -- wont' go into the symbolism there!!) and the dish breaks in two. Rather than repair it, Ethan places it back in the shelf propped up to hide the breach. Needless to say, later on Zeena discovers the broken dish... Won't tell you the rest -- but the pickle dish incident is highly symbolic on several levels and literary critics have made much of it. To me, the broken glass mystery herein discussed, brought the whole incident to mind. We should start a book club centered around discussion of glass in the great works of literature. Bet we could put Oprah's Book Club right out of business!! Geoff -- Edited by gps500reading at 02/14/2010 3:07 PM PST

:^O:^O:^O:^O That is a Great Comparison Geoff! Now I have to go find that book. Sounds like a must read, my curiosity is peeked!:^O:^O:^O:^O -- Warmest Regards, Yan

[hedgehogzoom]

HA HA HA! Never read it but it DOES sound interesting, to say that least! Wonder if it's in my little local library? Hedgie

[klvd8220]

I am all for putting Oprah book club out of business.she should start pushing depression glass and it would take off like it was back in the early 80s

[gps500reading]

LOL, klvd -- what a hysterical idea. We should write a proposal to the Oprah show to do a "glass" segment in her last year so she could go out with a "sparkle." All we have to do is think of an interesting angle.... Good idea! Geoff

[hedgehogzoom]

:^O BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!!! Shall we all put on our thinking caps in order to peak Oprah's interest? :-x Hedgie
