Nan, I'm sure you could make a case to prove that it is theraputic to have that bird at work.

Is there someone in your block to look out for him?

What a dilemna! Birds are social creatures.

I hope you find a solution soon.

I have had a leak in my bathroom ceiling for over a week. The sheet rock is sodden and I have moved everything out because the ceiling is going to fall through any time now.

Yeah, yeah, the landlord knows, etc, etc, plumber called, etc, etc.

but I thought I would celebrate it with an Emo Bath waiting for the sky to fall.

hee hee.

oooh, it's bread and circuses time again.

sounds like the blue angels have arrived.

or else, someone else is hot-dogging it bigtime over there at miramar.

ah, the lovely sound of car alarms going off in chorus, and not being able to hear anyone who's on the phone....

Ooohhh!! !! Nice...

hee hee indeed,

Plumber came, found the leak, sheet rock is drying, not bowed much at all!
soft fans blowing in there, drying out good, now.

they also took out the asphalt burm that kept me from moving my scooter back in the back patio under the ledge and behind the tarp.

and I fired my Shrink, he was an as*hole, and what's worse, he didn't know he is an as*hole.

Merle

good, on all counts. fungus grows on soggy drywall, so it's good to get that dried out properly. glad the asphalt is gone, nice to keep the scooter under cover.
and a lot of the shrinks are truly, truly .... bits-o-work. glad you recognized that in the one you were working with.

the continuing saga of the birdfood. (my life is drama, what can i say? )

took a sample in to PetsMart and they promised to have it tested and to get back to me. lady was very nice. (they know they're on thin ice for selling old, possibly tainted food). lafeber's was supposed to have UPS call me before coming out to schedule a pickup. as usual, UPS dropped the ball, did not call. left a label on my door, though. so i have just put more of the food in a big baggie, zeroxed the labels and the expiration date on the lid, and am dropping the packet in the UPS box on the way home tonight. hopefully we'll know something by late next week. i'm keeping the tub with about 1/3rd of the bird food. for insurance.

also noticed on the label, down by the bar code, that there's a date of 10/05. i sure hope that's not the manufacture date, cause if it is it means the stuff is ~three~ years old. well back before the original melamine scare, but old enough for all sorts of nasty things to have grown on our tub-o-food. of course, it's also possible that all the babies had some sort of weird congenital thing, or that something was wrong in the cage that only killed young birds, but the addition of the lafebers' right before the deaths is still a smoking gun. i sure hope it isn't a food contaminant, i'd really rather see that something had just grown in the tub or something than for there to be a contaminant in the tub - because that would mean lots of other birds all over the country were fed contaminated feed. and, possibly, a lot of deaths.

Great news, Merle. You seem to be back on track!

Nan, I need a picture of you to put on my fridge. Yours could be the beginnig of a series called ...um Hidden Heroes ...or The backbones of the US of A along with Sara(h) Palin.

Allright I'll frame your photo instead!

I like "Hidden Heros," Robyn. I like it a lot.

Merle




Sarah Palin? I call her "Bible Spice."

Lurking.

I guess that makes McCain "Old Spice."

I know, I know, >groan<.

here ya go
