Well, it's raining and my nut seating files did not show up today either. But, it's Miss Merlin's 30th Hatchday so that's a milestone one for her. She is my blind African Grey adopted parrot.

Don't really know but she has fully mature cataracts. wow ! and it'd probably cost a small fortune to have it corrected. |

Enjoying a cup.
There was only one surgeon at the University of Tennessee that my vet felt confident could sedate her, do the surgery and have her wake up again. Anesthetizing parrots is scary stuff. And then ha ha, one of my birds is not allowed in Tennessee as they are banned there so that meant even if I took the rest with me I was going to need a sitter for her here in Ohio. I chose not to take the risk. Merlin is obviously very used to her disability. If you met her you probably wouldn't realize other than maybe noticing she's clumsy sometimes compared to the others. Her previous owners never realized she'd lost her eyesight. Right away in my home I knew something was wrong. I could tell she didn't see me coming when I walked up to her and I would have to talk to her as I was approaching. And I was pretty sure I saw the cataracts. The vet saw them immediately. Once she was comfortable being here though and knew what other beings lived in the house she totally relaxed, which is why you wouldn't know now.

wow !
that's some kind of ordeal. to be honest, anesthetizing any animal is a risk. my dad once had his favorite bird dog(hunting dog) operated on. the vet's aide gave her too much medicine to anesthetize her. she never woke up again.

That is a super wonderful thing you did taking her in. We'd love dancing vids! Miss Merlin, not you!  You have a superb avie there!  |

I got rid of my Keurig machine a few months back. I hated throwing all that plastic away. I also hate paying more...I was surprised when I emptied all my unused k-cups into a bag so they wouldn't go to waste. I was almost able to fill a quart ziploc bag with coffee from about 25 k-cups.

I use a little 4 cup coffee maker. it says 4 cups at the mark on the pot, but I usually only get 2 cups of coffee.it's perfect for me here at the house. my wife and daughter don't drink coffee.

Good morning! I was locked out again all day yesterday lol.
Yes, one of the neighbors was going to help with the drywall. I'm turning into an old lady now and just carrying a sheet by myself has become a problem.

I have two cups I drink my coffee out of. One is my "work" cup and the other is my "home" cup. Once and a while at home I use another cup, that's because I'm too lazy to walk downstairs and get my other cup. I clean them at least once every 6 months. Rest of the time it's rinsed out with hot water. |

since I've been retired, I've been aquiring more cups inadvertently. in other words, by accident. I now have about 4 Home Depot coffee cups. sometimes, I, too, just rinse out the cup. otherwise, I'll put it in the dishwasher. the coffee pot is another matter. that only gets rinsed out.
