Q: New Q: When reading and you find something worth remembering later, do you highlight, underline, take notes, or ???? What do you do? (probably here, the answer is ‘blog about it’)

—- COMMENTS CLOSED —-
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you just HAD to do that, didn’t you!
woman…. what would my life be like without you!?!
and what if someone else sneaks in here to have the last say?
alece, alece, alece…
i ALWAYS have the last say (i think)!
pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
Dorothy: there IS NO man behind the curtain… just the “wicked witch of the east coast” – with the magical powers to start deleting comments! i’ll get you, my pretty.
and my little bird too?
ok. i’ll be good now.
Al: you have a bird? a BIRD?
really? i haven’t told you about him yet? yep. he’s an african grey. he talks up a storm saying all sorts of goofy things like “chalupa” and “poopcicle”. the best part is his name. starbucks.
did YOU teach it poopcicle???!!!! LOL!!!
and LOVE the name.
so, what’s an african grey? picture?
and WHY a bird? why not a cat or… or… or… a fish!?
i’m scared to put a link now. might unleash the wrath of the spam-monster. i’ll email you one – i’ve put a picture up on my blog before. lemme find it and email it to you.
and yes… i taught him poopcicle. he also says “hello poophead” which makes me laugh every time. the “chalupa” is code for “crap”. he says it either before or after he poops! ha ha.
why not a cat? niel can write you a list 1900 pages long. (neither of us like cats!) and fish… no personality, man. my bird has tons of it. he’s dripping with it. a cat/dog/fish won’t say “hello?” in a sarcastic voice when the phone rings, or “see ya later” when you leave the room, or “hello beautiful” when you first see him in the morning.
LOL! probably WILL waken the spam-monster…. send it on!!
and ….. all those poop phrases. that’s just AWFUL!!! AWFUL!!!
::blush::
