I'm getting a little lost here. Bear is ...OOPS. I'm getting a little lost here. Bear is challenged by getting so much information at about the same time. As Winnie the Pooh put it so properly, "I am a Bear of Very Little Brain, and long words bother me." Having to Deal with A Lot Of Comments at one time bothers me, too. <br /><br />® Patricia Stoltey: A children's book would be delightful. I could get my grandchildren to help me write it, and they could illustrate it, too. <br /><br />But let's go with Andrew the Adventuresome Aardvark. Antagonistic we can do without as a model of children's behaviour. Even if they are that way quite a bit of the time. <br /><br />® That Janie Girl: Glad to know that you're alive and well; not so glad to hear about your man. Hope he is well-heeled, soon. Or is that well-healed?<br /><br />Bear's habit is to check on people who are too quiet for too long. If a simple check does't work, I get the St. Bernards organized. For Search and Rescue. That almost always works.<br /><br />And I'm glad you were able to post.<br /><br />Blessings and Bear hugs, everyone.Rob-bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00171692478879522588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1780769436411348454.post-40805062052756745212012-04-01T20:21:11.663-06:002012-04-01T20:21:11.663-06:00I posted!

And cuddly I'll bet. Maybe you and Sheila could work out a proposal for her Aardvark import business. Buy two Aardvarks, and get a Cordy Roy for free! <br /><br />Well, whatever. <br /><br />® Irene: Nor sufficiently thrilled by Aardvarks? Oh, well; I can't please everyone. <br /><br />Other surprises? If you're not surprised by an Aardvark, I don't know how I could surprise you. I'll have to work on that.<br /><br />® The Golden Eagle: Thanks for dropping by. I'll get to your blog in a bit.

Maybe you could become the Montana distributor of imported Aardvarks. Or maybe start a breeding colony — if it's not too cold.<br /><br />® Beth Stilborn: Thanks for getting back to me. <br /><br />I have yet to make the acquaintance of Mary Oliver. A situation I need to correct. And I promise<br />1. not to vark too aard, and<br />2. to tell my friend Da Blog Fodder about your (stolen) idea. We gotta share the wisdom.<br /><br />® Julie Daines: You denied your child an Aardvark? Aren't you worried that, as an adult, he'll be depraved because he was deprived? You could have set him up in the business of ant and termite control. He could be making a fortune by now. <br /><br />Thanks for visiting.<br /><br />® kj: Thanks for moving over. Now you'll be where the action is. I could have bucolic or bacterial for B, but I'm going with Bird. Bird is the word. (You remember the song, don't you?) Does this mean Bear is for the Birds? Come and see. <br /><br /><br />® Gossip_Grl: Thanks for stopping by.

Computers are great when they work. When they don't work, somebody wants to borrow yours. <br /><br />Here's a suggestion. Why don't you set up office in an area infested with termites or ants, and start an Aardvark importing business. You could make lots of cash, I bet. Enough to get yourself a new computer. <br /><br />® Stephnie V: Glad you dropped by. Thanks. And really, I'm not cheeky; more puckish or playful, I think.
