Time to ask if anyone needs their glass refilled, something to nosh? What a fun group we've amassed!Aya, I was half-expecting an equally long tale of some fascinating experience of your own--then I was going to give you the honor of the biggest chuckle du jour, for repeating what I've said all along about the Cheney presidency--but then I saw Martha up the page, with STRAWS in her nose! Must say, I did NOT see that one coming! (Thank you, MIS--if not for the cocoa everywhere, I don't know HOW long it would've taken me to straighten up my desk! )
And plenty of not-so-newbies (I think you can lose that "virgin" status by now) to round things out.
Yes, T--I could wear a parrot on my head if I wanted to, but they tend to poop down the back of one's head/shirt--and besides, if they're on equal footing with your face, they tend to get possessive and bossy, which is often expressed by nipping you in tender spots. . . best to keep them in a subordinate position. I had a budgie who loved to burrow in shirt pockets, though! I am not a Jimmy Buffet fan, however, if that was really your question.
