Well, at our home I might as well be trying to pedal Mutual of Omaha because it's like Wild Kingdom over here!  I love Spring time, I really do! I love the warmth after frigid winters, I love the blossoming of flowers, the leafing out of trees, the softness of the grass as it comes out of dormancy. I even love the storms. But the one thing I can't stand about Spring is the baby birds! Every year the same thing, helpless baby birds on the ground! They live, they die, they get eaten by a cat, or they die by my own hands trying to save them! And now there's two babies on the ground, with barely any feathers. The parents are feeding the babies, but it's only a bit of time before the cats and other birds in the neighborhood discover them  I just don't have much gumption right now to fight for their lives when I've got alot on my plate already with family matters. Besides, it's always best to let Nature take it's course, as scary and ugly as it may be sometimes. Lord forbid my daughter finds out about the babies. Good thing she likes to stay inside and keep herself glued to the tv.

| Only cute while it's on a computer screen, DianaG. Got three of them so far out in the backyard. One of them had fallen out of the venting of the roof, hitting the air conditioner. It'd stunned itself so bad that I'd thought it had broken it's back. It couldn't get back up on it's feet. Then the ants had come to try and get it while it was down. My daughter finally discovered them and was freaking over them. I told her we would have to kill it or we could see if it would recover and get better. It seemed to be fine after awhile. But now it's raining fairly heavy now and the storms are coming. I hate all of this, I truly do. I can't wait for the season to be over. |

and now for some levity:
When I first came into this room, I came with the intent of purchasing some rubbers... then I looked around and saw that it was only the rubber room in name... I realized it is actually an area designated for those moments when you feel like developing a nervous twitch... I then felt right at home...

I think that there is a happy medium somewhere between the two that I hope to get into after the first couple of weeks... but I intend to exhaust both her and I the first 14 days and nights...
And to think that the hebrews of old used to honeymoon for a year while the community around them took care of their needs... now that's they way to honeymoon!
lol
Of course neither my fiance or I would probably be able to survive a honeymoon that long....

or as my Dad is fond of saying...

One of the things that I heard when I was a kid was that if you put a nickel in a jar for everytime that you did it and took a nickel out for each day that you didn't you'd still come out ahead on the nickels and be rich. I wish I could have tested that theory . All I can say is what some guy said to me when I was talking to a friend about my upcoming marriage 20yrs ago is to not ever let the sun set on your wrath. To talk things out before you go to bed angry. Because it'll haunt you for weeks to come if you don't. And he was so right! We've always talked things out and the one time we didn't we'd felt like crap afterwards. |

Hee hee! Sounds like a modern day Cliff Arquette! I love those! Some day try reading Cliff Arquette's Letters from Mamma writing as Charley Weaver. I've remembered that one when I was a little kid and it stuck in my mind so much that my mom got that one as a Christmas present for me! Made my day!

Nuggets From Steven Wright - Part Two...

37. When I die, I'm leaving my body to science fiction.
