What's in a name?
Yo, dude! A greeting that has seemed to become universal. Strange thing about the word "dude"-- nothing to do with ranches, lack of experience with riding horses (as in Dude Ranch), and also lack of gender. A guy or gal are both referred to as "dude". One morning Regis Philbin fell in love with the sound of the word, and used it every chance he got. I have used the phrase "dudette", but it is generally ignored. Just struck me funny again this morning. I am not excited about going to the meeting on Saturday, but maybe that means it will be good. Things usually can't get worse than low or no expectations (last year it rained all the time, and the expense of the restaraunts was ridiculous, and no drug stores or supermarkets within a walking distance!)

Tomorrow the birds go to the vet for boarding while I'm away. I know lots of folks have a pet sitter, but I would need to find one, then observe them handling parrots. The little parrot likes to play possum-- he goes limp, then when the human isn't watching "CHOMP!" he will bite. He used to do that to our vets assistant, but now she knows all his little tricks! Our vet is a birdie vet, but also sees dogs and cats. He has a bird there named George-- Bird George is what we call him. He and Big Guy chatter happily to each other... each seems to learn a new phrase. Big Guy loves to make kissing noises, so George now makes kisses to all the assistants. I wonder what new phrase Big Guy will pick up. So tomorrow I bring them and 1 toy each to the vet--we have nicknamed it Birdy Boot Camp since both are used to having lots of time outside the cage (they play on the tops). Do you have pets? When you go on vacation, what happens for your pets? Do they go too? It's actually quite hard to take a bird on an airplane, nevermind 2. They are domestically raised , but sometimes people get freaked out around birds.

Well, time to play : Get that paperwork before it multiplies! (I would guess Merryl would know all about that... I think Millie's reply would be "Work! I can just watch it all day!"

Good friends, have a Happy Whatever Day! Just watch out in case there really is a National Bean Day!
