This next one I’m SUPER excited about, as it was fan submitted! Make sure to keep on submitting suggestions, folks; they make my life a whole lot easier!
RAKING ADVICE!
(This question was submitted by Majestic Mary!)
First of all, don't rake up the grass. Try and keep the rake a few inches above the ground, so you only get the leaves and not the grass.
(Majestic Mary)
do it as a family, it's more fun that way. :)
(Luna-Starr)
Don't let your dog, siblings, or possibly your CAT get in your leaf pile and jump in it, only do that yourself, so you can have all the fun.
(Emekittycon Kitten)
(All Floof tips from AARP)
Make sure to wear layers, especially if you’re going to be outside for a while. You’ll warm up from doing the work, so don’t be afraid to peel off a few.
Warm up before you rake. Raking uses almost all the muscles in your body according to James Weinstein, chairman of the Department of Orthopedics at Dartmouth Medical School, so it’s good to do a couple of stretches before you work.
Eee! Excitement! And wonderful tips, everyone, especially since raking is a popular pastime of mine! But enough adult stuff like save-the-dates and chore discussion. Let’s get onto the
SEPTEMBER JOKES!
What do horses eat on their pancakes?
Maple STIRRup!
(Emekittycon Kitten)
British people: We call it Autumn, from the French word “autompne” and later, the Latin “autumnus”
Americans: WE CALL IT FALL BECAUSE LEAF FALL
(online)
Why do people think September is childish?
Because it’s always making jokes about Fallrts and Bautumns!
Why does no one text Autumn?
Because it’s always leafing them on Red!
OooOoOh LMWAY TIIME!
OUR LMWAY!
Last Month We Asked You: Why Does No One Talk About #1 and #3 pencils?
Luna-Starr said:Ella dear, we don't discuss #1 & 3 pencils because of the alien invasion of 1987... they stole all memories of #1 & 3 pencils from humanity to claim the ideas for themselves... or so they thought. >:)
Emekittycon Kitten said: Because two is the most important number in pencils, because to me, #2 pencils were made by someone who really liked the second month of the year, February, so he made #2 pencils to honor February.
Wonderful yet cryptic responses, ya’ll! And now, it is time for the…
LOCATION OF THE MONTH!
Unlike most MCUs, everyone submitted the same idea. However, I am LOVING this one, as it is…
JUMPING IN A BIG PILE OF LEAVES!
It really is a shame that my stepdad never needs me to rake, but at least I can jump it in my mind, folks!
Wonderful job, all of you! And now, let’s go out with a bang (hahaha funny AJR) with THE...

MCU stands for Monthly Check-Up!

Okay, thanks Admin and A helpful CBer!

OK, I have a question, too. Ella Starburst only seems to exist on MCUs, I've never seen her post on any other threads. Is there a reason for that?
(September 13, 2020 - 9:04 pm)
I'm pretty sure she does post on other threads, or at least, she used to. It's possible she's just busy currently and hasn't been posting as much.
