I wanted to wait until the 3day raffle was over. And since some are on a winning streak, and others want another chance I thought I'd share now.

I'm holding a raffle as a fundraiser for our March for Babies walk. The prize is a brand new Coach bag.

The raffle ends on March 17th.......St. Patricks day.

I'm offering HALF PRICE TICKETS TO ALL BF.COMMERS!

So, does this Coach bag come with a six-pack of green beer? Or perhaps little green men will jump out of it?

No little green men or beer. But a beautiful new bag shipped right to your door.

I've got a couple pms w/ questions. I'll post more in the morning about it. I've got bath and bed by myself tonight.

Am I a moron? Why can't I figure out how to buy tickets?

I never got my act together to get tix for the 3 day raffle. I'm happy to get in on this one. (My 34 weeker would just love to take all of mommy's things out of a Coach bag!)

Why's the sky blue? (Ok, well, not today, but usually)

Why's the sky blue? (Ok, well, not today, but usually)

Great question!

The blue color of the sky is due to Rayleigh scattering. As light moves through the atmosphere, most of the longer wavelengths pass straight through. Little of the red, orange and yellow light is affected by the air.

However, much of the shorter wavelength light is absorbed by the gas molecules. The absorbed blue light is then radiated in different directions. It gets scattered all around the sky. Whichever direction you look, some of this scattered blue light reaches you. Since you see the blue light from everywhere overhead, the sky looks blue.

As you look closer to the horizon, the sky appears much paler in color. To reach you, the scattered blue light must pass through more air. Some of it gets scattered away again in other directions. Less blue light reaches your eyes. The color of the sky near the horizon appears paler or white.

Thanks for that explanation, PEM, because all this time I thought the sky was blue and the grass was green so people would know when to stop mowing! The things we learn here ~ :gig:

Why do cats purr? Why don't people purr?

PrincessEmilysMommy

Why do cats purr? Why don't people purr?

Hope this helps!

Cats (big and small) are the only animals who purr. Contrary to popular belief, purring isn't speaking. The purr comes from two membrane folds, called false vocal cords, that are situated in the larynx behind the actual vocal cords. Cats purr 26 cycles per second, the same as an idling diesel engine. Cats purr both when inhaling and exhaling, keeping the mouth completely closed. Scientists believe purring is produced by blood in a large vein in the chest cavity that vibrates and is then magnified by air in the windpipe. Kittens are born blind and deaf, but the vibrations of their mother's purring is a physical signal that the kittens can feel. It acts as a homing device, signaling them to nurse. Kittens begin purring at about one week old; then it's a signal to the mother cat that they're getting their milk and are content. Since purring is non-vocal, it doesn't interfere with the suckling. Contrary to another popular belief, cats don't purr purely for pleasure. Be alert: a deep purr can indicate that a cat is in pain or distress. Female cats will purr when in labor. Cats may purr in fear or anxiety. They will also purr in anticipation of being fed or stroked. Big African cats only purr in short bursts, but the house cat can purr for hours. Curiously, scientists tell us that a cat never purrs when alone.

Unfortunately, humans don't have that ligament (or at least can't make it "purr"), so you can't purr back at your cat that same way it purrs at you. You can come pretty close by using your tongue though!

Yay! I'm so psyched! Thank you all!

There is still time to get tickets before the drawing tonight. I edited the op to change it to Emily's banner.

Just wanted to let you know that a fellow BFCommer won the Coach bag! I asked Sassy to post this so I wouldn't have my real name linked to my screen name.

I was thrilled to see my name come up as the winning name - that rarely happens to me!

I am also thrilled that PEM raised a good amount for Molly's Mission. Molly's story has really touched my heart, and it does my heart good to see so many people on this board be willing to donate to her cause.

Thanks, PEM, and many thanks to the generous donor as well. This bag will be very much appreciated.
