great topic, too many to read! I am Cassidy, the CAS are acutally my initials. The poohbear is my favorite cartoon, all of Pooh and friends. Still have the bear from when I was born... and now an entire bedroom decorated in Pooh garb. Makes people think we have a kid somewhere. Haven't made time for the movie yet though!

Do you need donated supplies? How can I find out more about what you do? Thanks!

I was born a week before Christmas so instead of calling me "Christmas Carol", as they planned, they went with the Noel part of Christmas and added an "ly". At least with Christmas Carol, I could have been called Chris. I've always hated my name which is why my four daughters have very common names.

My kids (several thousand 4-H’ers a year) really get a kick out of being able to call their advisor olebat. As an employee of the University of Georgia Cooperative Extension Service, I make house calls and answer bat related phone calls. One of the many pleasures I have is making presentations to garden clubs, day camps, library talks, schools, etc., educating the public about our poorly understood flying mammals. The timid call me bat lady. I often remind folks that the name is ole, not old bat. There is an oldbat in our National Speleological Society. Great woman, and much younger than I. (Also a quilter BTW.)
