I like being offline because I leave my computer on all the time but am not usually at it, so I don't want anyone to get mad at me because I am not replying when I am really not here! Exactly why I do it. I have an alias or 2 but never use them anymore since whats her name isnt here posting. |

Brainy, I do love your avatar. When I was a kid I would raise catapillars in jars until they became butterfies & moths. Then I'd mount and frame them behind glass. My favorite domestic is the blue swallowtail. In Michigan we had so many Monarchs and Luna moths.

Nat, I used to do the same thing. I still have some of my collection (if bugs have not eaten it) that I did in the late seventies! I always had some kind of bugs alive in my room!

Well what do you know - me too. Growing up I wanted to be an entomologist but instead went into business. Girls who liked insects were kind of rare while I was going up in the 50's & 60's.

Do you know that my mother still had my bug collection when I got married. I did it in the 8th grade for science.

I still have mine too. Well, guess I will go home. Wouldn't you know that since I'm in my new sports shoes it's pouring down rain.

You still have your bug collection? Mine was falling apart cause it was all in shoe boxes. It is a miserable day to be out. I parked the farest away in the parking lot, so I was cold and wet when I got to the car.

I pulled mine down to see what it looked like and you can still tell all the butterflies and moths even though they have deteriorated some. I also had dreams of becoming an entomologist, but never succeeded.

Coosa, how can you tell. There's no one even close to your rep. Looks like Someperson isn't getting smited anymore. Someperson, don't feel bad, they did it to me when I first came here. Wish Marshall would get rid of the smiting business.
