Hooray for H-Bird and Eagle/D: you two are fantastic.

Those scrub jays are like the buyers looking at my house. They look and look, and look again, but I just can't get them to commit.

Hang in there, Bixby.

I have a stupid question. I asked this before some time back, but never saw an answer if it was posted. What does Tympani mean???

Hi guys: sorry I haven't been around, but after my cold I gave myself food poisoning (that's what happens when I cook). I am not able to keep anything down except a little water, and can't type for long. Sandie: I am sorry for your troubles, bt if any group can get you to feel better this one will. Hula bird -Debi: congrats. Eagle D: you deserve it, and I hope you much happiest. IWS Team - great update. Bixby: your hose will sell soon, we are all crossing our talons.

For anyone I missed, I'm sorry, but it's hard to type in the bathroom.

A tympani is a drum roll on a special drum.

Food poisoning is NO fun skellis - get better soon. It always amazes me those eagles can chow down on those carcasses without getting sick.

Skellis: ugh! food poisoning is the pits, and I don't mean wingpits either. You poor thing, take care and ease back into things with the BRAT diet: Banannas, rice, applesauce, toast.

Karen,

I don't recall seeing the question before, I apologize if I overlooked it.

Think back to the goof old days of the Jerry Lewis Telethon. Everytime Ed McMahon would come out to update the total, he'd say "Tympani" which was cued up the drumroll on the Tymps in the orchestra and then the tote board would change to the updated total.

It's been a while since I've seen it but I always remember it as being an exciting moment in the show. So I brought it here. Today was the tympani I know we were all waiting for...I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did!
