Kitty bling!

The clay perseveration continues. These are the Swirly Purple & Blue™ ones.



This has gotta be some kind of record for me. Usually I've thrown in the towel by the end of the week!

We're still recovering from yesterday. Turkey, turducken, oyster dressing, Creole pork dressing (came in the turducken), carrot souffle, green bean casserole, collard greens with smoked turkey, pumpkin pie, sweet potato pie (made with real sweet potatoes!), ambrosia salad...

Maybe it's a good thing that we ran low on grocery money. H had been planning to add ham, homemade macaroni and cheese, and mashed potatoes to the menu. Oy!

hey, make "Hello Kitty" beads! the face of the kitty with the bow over an ear in the middle of your roll?

Why not? Even the car customisers are getting in on the action.

awesome, SD, simply awesome!


I was looking at some kitty bling!

1,059 pages on this thread? GOOD GRACIOUS! Is this a WP record??? Maybe even an entire internet record?

Even with the original Dino Cafe I think we had what. . .500 pages there?

But I think the 'threadkillers' thread has far more pages if not as gripping content, and the "Post a Real Pic of your self" is even more.

Hmm'''.....Let's see...As of this post:
"Last Person to Post Wins" 3084 pages
" 'We Kill Threads': Thread killer Society" 1670 pages
"Word Association Game" 1630 pages
This Cafe 1059 pages......Is there any more spam in the kitchen?...

would that be for spam and eggs?
spam, spam and eggs
eggs, spam and eggs?.....

It's official - Spike is a girl!! !!

She laid her first little egg overnight. It's the size of a m&m candy.
(Well, color ME surprised!) Good thing I haven't got her in the cage with the other finches (even if she recognized them as peers) or I'd be a grandmother! Uh... or something.

Wow, only the size of an M&M? She's going to have to get busy if you're going to have spam, spam, spam, eggs, spam, spam, spam, baked beans, and spam!!

wow what a speed those birds have, yesterday only a baby, now already a mother ! !

I know! But she's not a mum, there's no male in the cage (not even her!). It's just an infertile egg (thank goodness, not good for a bird so young to be having clutches of eggs yet). I was going to throw it out, but she pecked at me and made quite a stink about me touching it. It has to come out of there, of course, but I'm thinking there might be some way to preserve it - it's so delicate I'm not sure if I could drain it like an Easter Egg and then varnish it or something.... It really is tiny, but about the right size. Between the size of a regular M&M candy, and a small peanut M&M candy.

She was not exactly huge when we found her when she'd just hatched. If memory serves, she fit entirely on a quarter coin, that first day. Which probably wasn't her first day of life-outside-the-shell. Here's a photo (got the egg while she was bathing) next to a U.S. penny coin and Papermate pen, for scale. Yeah, at this rate the Egg Ranch isn't going to be able to keep up with production demand for spam, spam, eggs, and spam.

Of course, I was silly and felt sorry for the parents, now that it's cooler again, and bought them a little rattan nest, and one for the societies, too. And I suspect they're doing what Zebra finches do best up there in those little nests, and soon Spike will be an auntie.

Well, SOMEBODY had to do it!

YAY!! Monty Python.......... now that's the cafe material I know and love!!

well, I must say this is the first time I saw the whole sketch! I have always marveled/wondered at where the VIKINGS came into the picture.
