I hadheard that. I also heard that several, more "primitive", indigenouspeople groups may have survived the tsunami by observing animalbehavior. I think there's a lesson in that. . .

That's interesting. I hadn't heard that.

Mostdefinitely a message in there, m.e.

I know one thing, when there's a tornado warning,I watch the animals. If they act strange, then I know to head into thebasement. Animals are the best forecasters!

As for the tsunami, our school raised $1800 towards the relief fund.

That's awesome, Laura!

Our school has a big fundraising campaign going on for it too. $1800 is a lot of money! Be very proud!

Dear m.e. and Raspberry Swirl,

I saw a news report, complete with video coverage, where they havepotty-trained Seven Elephants in Thailand. *I am seriously notkidding.*

They made these big toilets, the elephants sit on them, do their duty, and then flush the toilet.

It was amazing to see.

W-o-w...I'm gonna have to check that out

I forget what channel it was on, but it was NBC or CBS between 6-7 p.m.

Couldn't believe my eyes, m.e. Just couldn't believe my eyes. Made me want an elephant Even More!

Hey Carolyn-

Have you seen the new General Electric commercial? The one with thebaby elephant dancing to "Singin' in the Rain"? I was giggling so hardI nearly fell off the couch, and the first thing I thought was,"Carolyn would love this!"

Hey Carolyn - (who else would I come to with this cool elephant stuff?)

I caught a bit of Amazing Animals on Animal Planet (we leave iton for the cats ), and they had this amazing story about twoelephants. I wasn't sure if you had seen this one before, but here'stheir web page and photo album:

Loved the commercial, but I believe an elephant is incapable of lifting its bulk off the gound entirely.Let's not tell the dancing elephant.

Thank you, m.e.! I hadn't seen that story. How adorable and moving their story is!

A dear friend of mine sent me this emoticon :~)the other day and I couldn't resist adding it to our forum.
