The Tooth Fairy forgot his/her way to this house by the time the Kyd was a
little over 7 years old. That would have been Ok had there not still been
teeth to trade for. Somehow, after the first 10 teeth or so, the thrill is
gone. It got to the point that no one, including the Kyd would remember to put
the tooth under the pillow, but when she finally WOULD remember then by golly
"someone" had better show up. We decided the longer she waited, the lower
ranking fairy would show up. Tooth Larry came after the Tooth Fairy, but if
she messed around long enough she'd wind up with Tooth Fred. Tooth Fred was
best known for leaving her her own money and not trying to hide it. Her
favorite though was a small Ziploc baggie of what turned out to be "Things
Useful in the Making a Small Bomb" -- a variety of batteries, a couple of
pennies, a rubberband and paper clip, chewing gum in foil wrapper, and a couple
of shelled pecans. That was during an especially "lean" evening for the
panicked Tooth Fred. All things tooth stopped shortly after that. The rumors
were that Tooth Ed was the next in line and we figured that could be nothing
BUT ugly.
I suppose we should return to talking about food now huh?

Yep, that is EXACTLY what happens! Ya just better hope that it isn't the Good
Fairy's day off! If it is her day off ya may get the tooth fairy and she can be
a real hag, and even worse THE SANDMAN may come to visit you and then you won't
be able to cache for weeks due to your being in a deep coma! So use caution and
follow the rules.

No.. it is NOT 100% safe to pick up or possess rocks. In order to pick up
and/or possess a rock you must first make your "Picking Up Rock Declaration" in
writing 10 days before your intention of picking up said rock. If your rock
interest changes, then you are allowed two (2) "Rock Declaration Amendments" at
which time (both times) all of those around you living in glass houses must
be made aware of your now-amended rock intention. If these conditions are not
met, then along comes the Good Fairy and turns you into a goon.
Stay home. Do not step outdoors. This group is here to EAT.

WOW! Did I rustle some feathers here?
You will all be happy to know that I'm not the jail type so I have
returned the feather to the woods. Not the same woods I took it from as that
was too far to drive, but it has been place amoung some happy trees.
I didn't realize that so many birds' feathers were protected. I wonder
if it's still safe to pick up rocks.
On a serious note: thank you all for letting me know this is an issue as
I would have take this feather home via the airport never knowing that there
was a problem with having a feather in my possession. So, thanks for keeping
me out of jail, a federal conviction off my record, and a loss of money I can
spend buying photos of feathers legally from somewhere else.
PS: I assume I can leagally buy photos of feathers right?

R: About Feathers
The deal with the feathers is: Raptors (Eagles, Hawks, Owls, etc.) and
other migratory birds are protected, and killing one - even turkey-vultures,
carries a hefty $1000 fine. If you possess a feather from one, now matter how
that feather was obtained (Red Tailed-Hawks for example, will pick up dead
rats and snakes off the road, and are frequently hit by cars) the government
assumes you killed the bird for the feathers. Only those Native Americans that
can prove they practice a traditional tribal religion and those people having
the Federal license to handle these birds are exempt (I have a permission under
this law to handle raptors when I am volunteering at the World Bird Sanctuary.
This license does not transfer when I'm working at the Zoo)
So, unless you are positive the feather is from a turkey, the safe bet
is to leave the feather where you found it.
