Loving watching the bird! I had a Moluccan Cockatoo, the ex hated him and I had to choose. I chose wrong and sold the bird.

Yes, there was a critter problem. So far we caught a possum and a ..... They were killing my ducks. Spud is still fine, but she is a tad cranky.

OMG OMG...That's what provoked me into getting a parrot. You have to watch this. His name is Max and he reminds me of Mr. Crabbypants. Here he's mad about the TV..Just watch...

And no, we haven't moved. Yet. We're still working on the hut so we can list it, but it's at a snail pace since the accident. Hopefully we'll be feeling better soon and can get it done. My kitchen is gone, just new cupboards in boxes right now. We tore it out right before the drunk hit us. :facepalm:

I do hope you are doing better.It's awful what carelessness can cause. Did they revoke his license? Jail time? Anything at all? Do you have a place in mind that you are looking for? I can't see you giving up your chicks.LOL

No I reverted back to IE it was slow but got my order in. Didn't have problems till they started the 2 day shipping I'm not the only one having problems. I hate going to their store. Most of the things I order isn't available at the store.


House dog on the move
They're trying to keep up with Amazon..Amazon now delivers within 2 hours after ordering on a lot of their stuff...How do they do it?

Happy almost FRIDAY!!!

Apparently, we had two more vehicles for the techs delivered last night... After everyone left... And no one knew about it, which means we dont know where the keys are right now. :facepalm:

Yesterday, I think it finally clicked that I'm a manager now. And it. Is. REALLY. Weird. It's going to take some getting used to being able to tell someone what needs to be done, and actually having them do it. Or tell them what I want something to look like, and having it done. AND, I sat in on my very first ever job interview. I havent been a supervisor since my last few years in the Navy, so its going to take some getting used to. And even then, there were no interviews. We had no say in who we got, it was who ever showed up with orders. Yeah. DEFINITELY a new and weird step in my life, but I think it's going to be a good one.

Kat and her friend were awake well after 3am this morning. I know this, because she was texting Mrs E at 3am while she was at work. Because we all know how quiet two teenage girls are, I didnt fall asleep until after midnight. And because I get up at 5am, I am REALLY tired right now, and we have too much going on. My brain is going to have some serious problems staying focused today.

Well, like I said, lots to get done, so I need to get to gettin'. I hope you all have a great day!!!

Hey...Do I need to buy a vat or two of PIE ? Is the deadline for getting great juice ever again August 8th? How does one keep vats of PIE fresh for forever? HELP ME.....
HI STRETCHY!!!

Thank God. I am so unprepared for this...I was going to rob a bank..No.. seriously, what choice do I have?
I didn't know you had cataract surgery.You are really young for that.
Babies are fine. Going to visit all next week. I get to watch the tiny baby cause her Mom is going back to work.I get to see the other little one a little more than the tiny one cause they live a little closer. Guess what else..I'm getting a parrot. Yeah 10 dogs and 2 cats are not nearly enough so I'm going for a bird..He's a baby right now.They are hand feeding him. I get him the week after next. He's a small parrot.He's a Quaker. They call them that because when they are young they shiver...Weird right? Anyway they don't live 75 years like the big ones...

My dad and stepmom have a yellow crowned Amazon. She's.... moody. And she doesnt want anything to do with anyone but my stepmom. She used to beep like the old Nextel phones. And the noise was so accurate, you would end up checking your phone when she did it. And dont leave the room if she's out of the cage... She will SCREAM until you come back in. But she does talk. She says "Hey Murphy" and it sounds just like my grandmother who died in 1999. She'll laugh just like my stepmom, wolf whistle, blow kisses, say "I love you" but only if you have food. She really is a cool bird, I just wish she would be more social with other people. Like me!

Am I the only one watching shark week?
I dont know if youre the ONLY one, but I know I'm not. From what I understand, you have to actually be at home and in front of the TV to be able to watch it!

No clue what happened to him. He had court on 5 charges on the 22nd. They informed us that we had the right to attend and speak, on the 23rd. :facepalm: Hit and run and dwi @ .15. I hope he's not back on the road.

Am I the only one watching shark week?

I see the judicial branch is on the ball. It would have been if it was your fault.I hope he does some jail time to reflect on what he did...Jerk...

Hey James,
Congrats on the promotion maybe?? I didn't realize how many people keep birds.It's a booming business.Parrots are as contrary as a teenager.Maybe that's what I miss in the house..A teenager. My kids all have kids now and they're not nearly as fun as they used to be..I called Jimmy the other day just to be told he couldn't talk.. He was negotiating with a ten pound terrorist...I hung up and laughed out loud.That all purpose mother's curse immediately sprang to mind."I hope when you get married and have a child he acts just like you"...Giggle...

Birds are like toddlers, always. BA threw temper tantrums when he didn't get his way, or when he got in trouble. Like for throwing tomatoes at the dog, in the kitchen. What a mess. :lol:

Sonny isn't as much fun anymore either now that he's a grown up. Maybe the V household needs a bird again. :D

Punkin, when do you get your eyes done?

Sorry it took so long to answer but we were playing phone tag with the scheduler. Since the surgeon is very busy and Mrs Punkin has fixed VA appointments that I need to take her to, my first eye isn't scheduled until Aug 23rd and the 2nd one 2 weeks later, Sept 6th. Looks like it is going to be a blurry Summer. :shock:

Oh, they also told me I need to go to my family doctor to see if I was cleared for surgery! WHAT! I don't have a family doctor except for the VA. Cha Ching... More money for the medical industry. All they are going to say is, "yes you are extremely over weight but we will allow you to pay for your entire bill to have cataract surgery. You are good to go." :lol:
