On Jun 19, 2009 at 3:35 am #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:Wow, Sue, this is lovely! The muscovite and natural silver quartz are beautiful together!
A fave!
On Jun 19, 2009 at 3:36 am #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:Becky — we just did it again! ROTFLMAO
On Jun 19, 2009 at 3:42 am #
RubberT aka Plucky Chick says:I’m confused..just did what again?
On Jun 19, 2009 at 3:51 am #
Cotopaxi Chickie Sue says:Thanks, chickies! BTW, what is ROTFLMAO? And Becky, I like the chickie name you gave me – changing to chickie name now…
On Jun 19, 2009 at 3:52 am #
Dizzy Chick Lori Z says:Rolling on the floor, laughing my a$$ off.
On Jun 19, 2009 at 3:54 am #
RubberT aka Plucky Chick says:Hooray!! A new chickie!!
On Jun 19, 2009 at 3:54 am #
Cotopaxi Chickie Sue says:Of course! LOL!!
On Jun 19, 2009 at 3:55 am #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:Becky, we both just admired, commented, and saved to our faves again!!!! LOL
On Jun 19, 2009 at 3:56 am #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:Welcome, Cotopaxi Chickie Sue!!!!! I love your new name!!!
Lori, thanks for explaining my abbreviation in such a polite way!
On Jun 19, 2009 at 3:59 am #
RubberT aka Plucky Chick says:Chicky LE, in case you haven’t noticed, I have kind of been following you around, like a Fresh Pick Stalker. I figure if you like it, then I will,too! I just got to this one first!!
On Jun 19, 2009 at 4:01 am #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:Oh, you’re a FPS? LOL That’s tooooo funny, Becky!
On Jun 19, 2009 at 4:02 am #
RubberT aka Plucky Chick says:Well, yes. Yes I am a FPS!!
On Jun 19, 2009 at 4:04 am #
Cotopaxi Chickie Sue says:You two chickies are a riot! Chicky LE, glad you like the new name – I owe it to Plucky! Guess I’d just better start following the two of you around! And i’m still trying to find the flowers on the BAP so i can play the game!
On Jun 19, 2009 at 4:04 am #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:I find myself shocked and appalled by this, Plucky Chick. You seem so normal to me. LOL
On Jun 19, 2009 at 4:05 am #
Dizzy Chick Lori Z says:What are you 2 doing, spying on each other?!
Sue, can you explain Cotopaxi to me? It’s a cool name, I just don’t get it!
Lynn, I’m not sure it was as subtle as it could be, but it worked. I first learned it ROFLMAO, and ROFL. The extra T messes up my typing sometimes.
On Jun 19, 2009 at 4:06 am #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:For instance, look at your profile pix. It’s very normal. And your name, Rubber Tomato, very normal. ROTFLMAO
On Jun 19, 2009 at 4:07 am #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:Lori, I believe the “T” is optional. LOL
On Jun 19, 2009 at 4:08 am #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:Cotopaxi is the name of the town in CO where she is from.
On Jun 19, 2009 at 4:09 am #
Dizzy Chick Lori Z says:That’s what Rubber T stands for! LOL again! I kept thinking of rubber chicken (profile photo), and couldn’t figure out where the T came in! Thick!
On Jun 19, 2009 at 4:09 am #
Cotopaxi Chickie Sue says:Dizzy, Cotopaxi is where I’m from in CO. No one knows where it is – ask Plucky, and she only lives 90 miles from me! The town got its name from a volcano in Equador.
I’m worried about Plucky and Chicky LE…there’s something not right there….LOL!
On Jun 19, 2009 at 4:10 am #
RubberT aka Plucky Chick says:I really do have a logical explanation!!
On Jun 19, 2009 at 4:10 am #
Dizzy Chick Lori Z says:That makes sense! Thanks Lynn!
On Jun 19, 2009 at 4:12 am #
Cotopaxi Chickie Sue says:LE, you are too fast for me! Isn’t it 4 am there???
On Jun 19, 2009 at 4:12 am #
RubberT aka Plucky Chick says:Sometimes there are SO MANY Fresh Picks that I can’t look at them all. Chicky LE, you seem to get on about the same time I do. So I just follow you around, looking at all the ones you have just commented on.
On Jun 19, 2009 at 4:12 am #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:I know, Plucky, I remember you explaining the Rubber Tomato name. Just had to tease you! Haven’t heard the story about your pix, though!
On Jun 19, 2009 at 4:12 am #
RubberT aka Plucky Chick says:That’s not too creepy, is it? LOL!!!!
On Jun 19, 2009 at 4:13 am #
Dizzy Chick Lori Z says:Wow, an Ecuadorean volcano! I was thinking it sounded kind of Aztec or something.
You’re right about them, I think their brains are getting a little mushy!
On Jun 19, 2009 at 4:13 am #
Cotopaxi Chickie Sue says:Oh, and Plucky, would you care to elaborate on the Rubber Tomato moniker?? i’ll bet there’s a good story behind that…
On Jun 19, 2009 at 4:13 am #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:Why, uh, yes, it is. 4:12 AM in the morning to be exact.
On Jun 19, 2009 at 4:14 am #
RubberT aka Plucky Chick says:Well, it’s a chicken!! And we are Chickies!!
On Jun 19, 2009 at 4:15 am #
Cotopaxi Chickie Sue says:Dizzy, ROTFLMAO!!!
On Jun 19, 2009 at 4:15 am #
RubberT aka Plucky Chick says:It was taken when our family was in Hawaii and there are feral chickens everywhere!!
On Jun 19, 2009 at 4:15 am #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:Not creepy at all, Plucky! I’ve been known to do the same type of thing!
On Jun 19, 2009 at 4:16 am #
RubberT aka Plucky Chick says:I think of changing it, but I have a hard time keeping all the chickies straight, so I am keeping it the same for a while!!
On Jun 19, 2009 at 4:16 am #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:Cool about your pix! I figured it had something to do with the Chicks! I remember your previous one was a tomato! LOL
On Jun 19, 2009 at 4:16 am #
Dizzy Chick Lori Z says:And your Chick name is Plucky! Oh, another mental picture forming.
On Jun 19, 2009 at 4:18 am #
Dizzy Chick Lori Z says:Sue –
Oh, my goodness – FERAL chickens???
On Jun 19, 2009 at 4:19 am #
Dizzy Chick Lori Z says:Yes, please keep the same photo! I just saw someone with Little Chick’s yellow lab photo, and thought it was her! Don’t make me read the names too!
On Jun 19, 2009 at 4:19 am #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:I know what you mean — every time someone posts a new profile pix, I think “Who’s that new person?” and then I click on it and find out it’s someone I’ve known for a few months already! It’s especially funny if the person didn’t have a personal photo up before, but used one of LB’s pix, like that little Lima Bean guy.
On Jun 19, 2009 at 4:20 am #
Cotopaxi Chickie Sue says:Cluck, cluck, Plucky! I remember the tomato too…now where does the rubber come in??
On Jun 19, 2009 at 4:20 am #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:Lori, I thought the same thing when I saw her yellow lab pix!!!!
On Jun 19, 2009 at 4:21 am #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:Well, I know Plucky Chick didn’t get her name because she likes to pluck feral chickens! LOL
On Jun 19, 2009 at 4:23 am #
Dizzy Chick Lori Z says:I used the Lima guy forever! No identity whatsoever! At least now I kind of know who I am.
Good question Sue!
On Jun 19, 2009 at 4:23 am #
Cotopaxi Chickie Sue says:I may have adopted my new chickie name, but my pic will remain the same! Even if most people can’t see my dog! But Lynn knows it’s posted on my pick Strawberry Ice Cream, if you want to see it enlarged. Best pic i’ve ever taken, right outside my studio window..
On Jun 19, 2009 at 4:23 am #
Dizzy Chick Lori Z says:Yuck! Lynn you need some sleep!
On Jun 19, 2009 at 4:24 am #
RubberT aka Plucky Chick says:Ok. Before I became a chickie, I was Rubbertomato because I told my kids they should not pick a name that gave strangers too much information, like the name “soccerbabe15″ which tells everyone you’re probably a young female soccer player jersey #15. So my kids picked out the name Rubbertomato for me. My picture at that time was a basket of Easter Eggs, because of the LB Easter Egg Hunt.
On Jun 19, 2009 at 4:24 am #
Cotopaxi Chickie Sue says:I think Plucky left us – so Dizzy, how’d you come up with the hummingbird?
On Jun 19, 2009 at 4:25 am #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:Yes, Lori, you’re our dizzy little firecracker!!! LOL
Sue, that IS an amazing photo of Bandit! I’m so glad you posted it so it could be enlarged to be seen better!
On Jun 19, 2009 at 4:25 am #
RubberT aka Plucky Chick says:I didn’t leave, I was just writing a book (see previous comment!!) I do need to go soon, though.
On Jun 19, 2009 at 4:25 am #
Dizzy Chick Lori Z says:Mine too, at least until I get a better hummer photo. I need to go look for the big picture, Sue.
On Jun 19, 2009 at 4:26 am #
Cotopaxi Chickie Sue says:Plucky, excellent advice to your kids! And thanks for the explanation!
On Jun 19, 2009 at 4:26 am #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:I remember the basket of Easter eggs! But weren’t you a “tomato” before that?
On Jun 19, 2009 at 4:26 am #
RubberT aka Plucky Chick says:You are welcome!!
On Jun 19, 2009 at 4:28 am #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:That really is great advice, Becky. Too many people, especially young kids, give away too much info in their computer IDs.
On Jun 19, 2009 at 4:29 am #
Dizzy Chick Lori Z says:Good plan Plucky! I remember the basket of eggs!
I just love hummingbirds. No other reason. We only get ruby-throated here, but I met my first ones at a church camp in the Rockies. They had feeders up along the balcony where we waited for meals, and they’d land on your finger if you held still. One of the most miraculous things I’ve experienced!
On Jun 19, 2009 at 4:30 am #
RubberT aka Plucky Chick says:Who knows! If so you have a good memory. I probably was because you could pick a photo from the choices LB gave and I bet that was one of the choices.
On Jun 19, 2009 at 4:31 am #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:Oh, wow, Lori — that would be incredible!
On Jun 19, 2009 at 4:33 am #
Dizzy Chick Lori Z says:Oh, WOW!! What a great photograph, Sue! I couldn’t make out a dog in the small photo either, but that’s just amazingly good!
You should enlarge that & frame it!
On Jun 19, 2009 at 4:33 am #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:I’m getting sleepy……….
On Jun 19, 2009 at 4:33 am #
RubberT aka Plucky Chick says:Cotopaxi, that picture of Bandit is amazing!! Almost looks like a painting!!
On Jun 19, 2009 at 4:34 am #
Cotopaxi Chickie Sue says:Dizzy, I know what you mean about having a hummer land on your finger…what a thrill! Won’t be long before the rufus’s start coming – and they are really aggressive, dive-bombing all the ruby throat and calliope’s…but they are copper colored and so much fun to watch!
On Jun 19, 2009 at 4:34 am #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:I was so glad Sue posted it so I could enlarge it because I couldn’t see Bandit in her smaller pix! What a shot!!!!
On Jun 19, 2009 at 4:36 am #
Cotopaxi Chickie Sue says:Chickies, i’m thinking it’s time for sleep. Lynn has to be exhausted! And i’m playing bridge in the morning (oh wait, it’s already morning….). We can continue tomorrow! I mean later today!
On Jun 19, 2009 at 4:36 am #
Dizzy Chick Lori Z says:Yes, it was! I love all animals, (kind of like beads), but hummers just take my breath away.
On Jun 19, 2009 at 4:37 am #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:I think I’m going to have to say nighty-nite, Chicks! Believe it or not, I have to get up in a few to meet a friend in Indy for lunch!
This has been tons of fun!
On Jun 19, 2009 at 4:38 am #
Dizzy Chick Lori Z says:Yep, I’m with you. Can’t even type anymore without backing up half the time!
You’re so lucky to have that many kinds of hummingbirds! Our ruby throated ones are little buzz bombs too!
Night ladies!
On Jun 19, 2009 at 4:38 am #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:Look forward to more Chick Chat tomorrow! Good night! Have happy beading dreams!

Dizzy Chick Lori Z says:Night! It was fun!
On Jun 19, 2009 at 4:39 am #
RubberT aka Plucky Chick says:Goodnight, all! Fun night!!
On Jun 19, 2009 at 4:41 am #
Cotopaxi Chickie Sue says:Great night! Catch you all later!

Karen H aka Fancy Chick says:Wow! What a beautiful pick!
