Just ask "Mr. Google" and "Mallard ducks do not mate for life and only pair up during the mating season". However, still too bad this happen.

Do ducks mate for life like swans?

Sad, sorry about the duck. Had one as a pet when i was a kid.

I have known this for a long time. Men and women find humor in different things.

Rarely do you meet a woman who enjoys The Three Stooges. Men don't rush home to watch Dr. Phil.

This has NOTHING to do with dressing children in unisex clothing.

Viva La Difference.

But for God's sake, mourn the duck. Wazzamatta you?

While I do find this saddening, I do not consider it the saddest thing in The Villages. Have you seen some of the comb overs here?

We do what we can with what we have even if it looks ridiculous. Bald man with a duck tail.

I ran over a cat on my bicycle once.
It's pretty much never the fault of the driver.

...last year, one of the regular TOTV posters got on my case when I posted that I stopped traffic on a street to let a mother duck and her babies safely cross the street.

Some people! :cus:

My take on what Chatbrat said was that something as trivial as a tee time becomes insignificant in the face of the greater issues of life and death.

My friend, while running, saw a dead duck in the middle of Grenadier St. in Tamarind Grove this morning before daylight, and another duck (assumed to be mate) standing beside it.

I wonder if it was the same place.

Same place

The only person they're kidding is themselves--natural hair reacts to effects of the dun, rugs do not

Years ago I used to wear a rug--my wife ripped off my head & tossed out the car window on the NJ Turnpike

And a muskrat stood on the side of the road in mourning?
