COLD DARK ROOM

Well, I was just thinking, being alone/living by yourself (w/fur/feather/shell babies) does have it's perk's. . . You can eat a whole can of black olives by yourself . . in one sitting w/o anyone making you feel self conscious .?

Snails are hermaphrodites (they have both male and female reproductive organs) They don't actually need to mate with another snail in order to reproduce, self fertilisation is possible.

Helloooo JoesMum!!!
Thanks for answering that.
But do you think they get lonely?

Oh my Gooodddddd!!!!
I just did that very thing!?
Are you watching me???? ???

No, the bird becomes part of the human flock.

Oh I see, now I am a bird. Well I guess I have been called a bird brain before. ?

 

[Ray--Opo]

That's a really nice picture, Ray! Only thing missing is Opo!!

It was late and Opo was sleeping. I tried pulling Opo out of his night box once. He violently swung his body from side to side.

So, true. . . growing up in a family of 7 (5 Kids) 1 can of black olives didn't go far. We were NOT rich, so . . I felt lucky to get two. . . and that 1 can was only purchased for special occasions. . .

 

[Ray--Opo]

Yes, as Yvonne said, such a beautiful Picture. . .You all look so happy, Merry Christmas to you and your family...

Thank you, hope you have a good New Year!

 

[Ray--Opo]

isnt that an “African Grey”?
or a “cockatoo”? ?
Gorgeous!!!

Yes, Yvonne informed me it was a African Grey.

 

[Ray--Opo]

I would bring it in.
How would you feel if when you got home from a trip and your neighbor said Opo…
Got loose ? Or a cold..?

Thats what I did. Even though the owner said the bird would be fine outside. I slept better having the bird inside.

 

[Ray--Opo]

Merry Christmas to you, Rose your mother- in law and of course Opo.
I hope you're having a lovely day

Thanks Lyn, hope your Christmas was good and you have a great New Year's.

Thank you Ray,
New Years eve is typically NOT a good time here. . . One of my Fur babies is a Old Blind, One eyed Beagle (seroiusly) who just goes Crazy when Fireworks go off. I had a home Theater sound system in the family room, bout 8:00pm, I'd turn the TV up, and Sound sytem on to drown out the Fireworks. That sound system died this last year, so I have to use a clock radio now, with the TV. Crossing my fingers. Additionally, while daily the time seemed to pass fast, this last year did not, to me it kinda took it's time, which I'm thankful for.

For future reference. . typical temp range is bout 65° to 80°ish. They can tolerate down to 40°ish, but must acclimated to that temp.

Our Christmas dinner was actually a little miracle. My sister moved near me about 6 months ago and my brother lives about 1 mile from me. We were planning on Christmas dinner with my sister but thinking she would cancel at the last minute as usual. My brother was out of town visiting family so we didn't expect him and his wife. Well they came back in town early and my sister came over also. So that was the first time the 3 of us were together for Christmas dinner. Since I was in 7th grade. It was a wonderful time. No pics because my sister doesn't like her pic being taken.

OMG the other day the wife wanted pizza and I got one with just black olives! It was like eating a memory and it was delicious!

Good morning all.
It's another wet day here.
I was supposed to be meeting a cousin of mine today, she lives in London but was back home in Wales staying with her old friend for Xmas. However, one of the friend's family who was also at the house became ill and has tested positive for covid. So they all have to be tested now. So I'm hoping she'll be Ok and if the rain stops maybe we can meet outdoors and have a little walk and catch up. I'm waiting to see how they all are.
Today and tomorrow are bank holidays in the UK, so it's a nice long holiday for those usually working.
I hope everyone has a good Monday.
