I feel so inadequate

Do you watch those award shows on tv and wonder, as I do, if those women EVER actually eat anything? Holy crap! How can you be that thin and still stand upright?

Here’s what’s really mind boggling….

What I find really mind boggling about the whole debate over gun control and arming teachers at schools and posting armed guards throughout our schools is that Americans are accepting this as a normal debate to be having. When did arming teachers to keep our kids safe in schools become the norm? Why aren’t we horrified that this debate is even happening? Rather than any logical debate on gun control, we’d prefer to arm our schools until they look like a girls’ school in Taliban country. How sad.

Hmm….

Spent all Sunday afternoon sleeping on the couch. Winter doldrums or flu? Time will tell.

An observation

No matter how many filled water bowls I have strewn throughout the house, my dogs will go out of their way to drink from the one in my bathroom. Since they are too small to drink out of the toilet bowl, maybe this is their homage to the fountain from which they truly wish to drink.

Trying to arm tteachers is sheer idiocy

So let me see if I have this straight. Over the past couple of years there has been a sustained hue and cry from fiscal conservatives and Tea Party aficionados about how teachers are overpaid, their jobs are overprotected, their benefits are over the top and their performance doesn’t warrant any of the above. Yet we would now like this same group of apparently very dysfunctional people to not only be teachers, social workers, nutritionists, counselors, tutors and recess monitors, but also sharpshooters so as to kill – or reasonably maim – anyone showing up in their school with the

A plea for red meat

If you live in Anchorage or the Anchorage Bowl area and have any old red meat that is taking up space in your freezer, Bird TLC desperately needs some for its Golden Eagle and some wonderful but thin corvids who need lots of protein. There is a box outside of our facility where you can drop off fish and meat at any time. Go to birdtlc.net and you can find our address.

Thanks.

The look of pure innocence

I finished scrubbing out birdcages and fed the birds. The dogs were downstairs in the office with the door closed. It’s just easier to not have two dogs and three parrots trying to get at each other during bath time so the dogs get on their bed in the office with a treat and are happy. Before I came down to let them out, I cut up their hotdog for dinner and put half in each day as is our routine. Then I came downstairs and opened the office door and got on the computer and forgot about the dogs.

Really, BuddaBubba?

I know I’m not the best singer in the world but seriously, my singing along to Pat Boone’s Young Love does not warrant her jumping out of my arms and running into the next room in horror. Is she had hands, she would have been holding them over her ears. And all I was trying to do was sing her a love song…
