COLD DARK ROOM

[Maggie3fan]

I love all the 3ʻs on your tree!

That's my "Dale Earnhardt" Christmas tree...he was a NASCAR driver who I fell in love with in 1985, he spent most Sundays in my living room until he was killed in 2001. He drove the #3 Monte Carlo for Richard Childress Racing...he was a 7 time series champion tying that record with Richard Petty...he was called The Man In Black or mostly...The Intimadator. He had a competition with Jeff Gordon, an excellent driver in his own right...and in a TV interview he was asked about an event with Jeff Gordon on the track...and DE says "he wrecked me, so I wrecked him back" Succinct and simple.

And not only did he have superior driving skills...he was fine...

Poor cat. You do realize you can put a bowl of water down by his food bowl, right? And can you use your front door without knocking balls off the tree?

Dilly would play in it first then get a drink so NO ??!! The bathroom door is shut all the time and besides that I have a house bunny. She likes to lay down behind, all snuggly and all, the comode....ewww yuck. And sneaks in any chance she gets.???

I don't use the front door because the railing and stairs are rotten and dangerous. Simon won't or doesn't like to drink from a dish...he wants the toilet...and if I'm in there he will put his paws on the rim and meow at me...lots...so I flush it and he reaches in and plays first, or maybe he's washing his paws first...

OK...I finally know you guys don't really read my stuff...61 parakeets?? Really? typo 16

I did read it but no one would put it past you doing that ? so why would we suspect spell check??

You have so many animals that 61 parakeets didnʻt seem impossible

Nice calm sunset. Burning Bush still glowing.

 

[jaizei]

The deer antlers as decoration...

Also, no beans

I did wonder how you'd fit 61 into 7 cages ?- a bit of a squash
but guessed it was a typo.

 

[Lyn W]

It’s an Arkansas tree ?. Also, I dont decorate that prettily !

I think you've done a pretty good job of it!

Hey, hey, hey with 5 cages, 61 keets is Not unreaonable depending on the cage sizes.
I have a 6'x6'x3' cage for my 2 macaws. so, fitting in 20 keet's would be NO prob.
Now, 61 keet's is a lot of poop and cage liner replacements.

Yes, it's why you put the lid down. Buster's been caught but not photoed doing same as Simon. He's so lazy that he would jump in the tub to get the drips from the leaky faucet in the tub rather than go downstairs to drink out of his water bowl in the old house. Imagine pulling the shower curtain to step into the tub & there's this big fat hairy thing in there & he's not your husband. Whoa, Nelly!!

I really want an Umbrella Cockatoo...and there's several up for adoption here. But have I never owned a big bird like that and that's one criteria the adoption place has...and they probably need more care than I want or have time for...

Happy Saturday all. Warming trend for a few days - I’m going to get out on the water for some December kayaking. This will be 24 months now that Ive been out at least once per monty. The Winter months make it tricky….snow, ice & wind aren’t conducive to wet water sports.

Lets see what’s inside these Pine Boards
