Dinosaur
Africa is a rich source of dinosaur fossils. A site in Tanzania has held some major discoveries.
Although dinosaurs were reptiles, much of their behavior, such as agile running, has more in common with mammals.
Brain size is not always a sign of intelligence, but big-brained Troodon was probably one of the smartest dinosaurs.
Crests, frills, horns, and spikes adorned the heads of many dinosaurs. These decorations helped dinosaurs identify one another and were sometimes used for signaling.
Crocodiles were around before the dinosaurs, and are still alive today.
Dinosaur embryos have been found fossilised in their eggs.
Dinosaurs are divided into two groups based on the shape of their hips, saurischians (lizard-hipped) and ornithischians (bird-hipped).
Dinosaurs became extinct around 65 million years ago
Dinosaurs became extinct over 60 million years before the first humans existed.
Dinosaurs thrived for 150 million years.
Heavier than eight elephants and more than 80 ft (24 m) long, Barosaurus was one of the biggest dinosaurs.
Scientists now recognise birds as the closest living relatives of dinosaurs.
Several groups of reptiles existed before dinosaurs appeared.
Some dinosaurs may have lived for 200 years.
Some of the plants dinosaurs ate, such as pine trees, ferns, and cycads, still grow today.
Stegosaurus had a brain no larger than a golf ball.
The cheek teeth of Stegosaurus were leaf-shaped.
The first dinosaurs were all carnivores.
The name ornithomimosaur means - bird-mimic reptile.
There were about thirty times more herbivores than carnivores.
Tyrannosaurus rex is the largest land-living carnivore we know of.
We do not know if dinosaurs could see in color.
When running, Tyrannosaurus rex would have held its tail rigid for balance.
While the dinosaurs ruled the land, their reptile relatives, the pterosaurs, ruled the air above, and the ichthyosaurs and plesiosaurs ruled the oceans. Dinosaurs did not fly or live in water.

Dmacky My KY friend :) Are you getting all the rains and storms that we are getting? For the last 4 days, it has rained, big electrical storms. We can on an average 2-3 storms a day! Calling for this rest of the week. It's so muggy and steamy outdoors they are telling people who have breathing problems stay indoors! Just miserable weather.
 
11295859_1124558807560233_6793518259096201849_n.png

Our area weather today: M-T-W Heat Index over 100. Keep an eye on your pets and elderly who may be without A/C.
 
Been taking a break for a couple of weeks and oh my, such sadness here. :( I can't get Lily Ann out of my mind; that poor, sweet baby. Pretty sure I could go all Rambo in a heart beat if I saw someone abusing a child, especially an infant.

Prayers and much love to all who are suffering.

I've missed you Sidebarians. When you are angry or hurting or confused or just need to bounce an idea around, is there anyplace on the web better than this? Don't think so. You guys rock. There are angels on the other side of those keyboards...Y'ALL. (And in the South that is a real word!)
:heartbeat:
 
My little way of saying "thank you" to you wonderful people here, who provide such loving comfort and wisdom to their friends in need.

We've had quite a bit of rain but luckily we've missed a lot of it. The path stayed mostly north of us. We have had a few hit and miss storms, crazy! My DD had a horrible rain storm the other day and it didn't rain a drop at my house. Odd that she lives only 7 miles away. We did have some horrible storms last night again though. But OMG the humidity is the worst... the heat index will be 100's today through most of the week. :hot:
 
Good Morning to all! Hope you all had a lovely weekend. My DD, DH and I went out for dinner last night for Father's Day to a lovely restaurant and we had a great time. We rarely sit down together for a meal and conversation, as my children are young adults and 2 are out of state. I love have my youngest daughter, 21, at home as she is very good company when she is here.

Hope you all have a wonderful day! Xo
 
Good morning everyone

I was having loads of problems with the internet because of the weather. Today we finally have sunshine. :)
I was getting use to not checking WS and I forgot about the restitution hearing today:

Interesting that Wilnott brings up the donations made to the Alexanders. Weren't those considered gifts? Why would they be relevant?

What about all the murderer's donations???
 
Hey all!

YESorNO - good to "see" you back at the Sidebar! :happydance:

And I just came back to post the restitution hearing, but you beat me to it!! And yes, the Alexander's still have the civil case against her!! :skip:

What did Wilmott say in the clip above?? couldn't see it!! TIA!! :wave:

Okay - off to read my other cases. :pcguru:

Take care everyone!!

:seeya:

Is that what she is going to use to pay restitution? How ironic that all the money she has raised from her artwork and sympathizers, is probably going to go to the real victims in this case.

Wilmott said that the murderer is working hard to behave herself in prison so she can get more visits, etc. Right now she has only 1 visit a week- through the glass- no physical contact...
