    Good morning everyone! :coolsmile: A lovey and sunny 61F outside, and the morning is filled with the cheeps and peeps of tinly little birds, looks like sparrows or finches! Should reach near 80F today! :cheese:

    Still super-low on beer, only 3 left:ahhh: but they're good ones, from a local microbrewery right in Tulsa! :cheese: Bar oepns at Noon, too, so beer will be consumed in the Sun today!

    Some work on music managed to get done yesterday, and I'm diving in again as soon as coffee is done. Good times!

    I hope everyone has (or had) a great Sunday! :cheese:

    ..no idea why I'm in a decent mood this morning :blank:

    Just wait, it'll pass. :kiss:

    I noticed today too. Birds singing, flowers poking up, temp. near 60F, bright blue sky. I decided to have a small adventure. Driving is a relatively cheap adventure so I drove 30 miles to a small city I rarely go to. Anticipated a nice lunch. Also I wanted to check out to see if the Perkins restaurant was still in business there. It was! Yea! Ordered grilled chicken, green beans with bacon, rice, salad and coconut cream pie. Gobbled up the yummy greenbeans & bacon, ate most of the huge salad, started on the rice then decided to cut myself a piece of the grilled chicken. Have you ever seen TV restaurant personality Gordon Ramsay upchuck some nasty food he tried on his show "Kitchen Nightmares"? That's what I did to that chicken. Chicken is not supposed to be crunchy! How can you undercook a half inch thick slice of chicken breast? Yuk! Put me completely off the rest of my meal. I canceled my pie and the manager discounted the chicken from my bill so I at least left there not totally grumpy. :smirk:

    I did notice that similarly to the way tornadoes are attracted to trailer parks, octogenarians are apparently attracted to Perkins restaurants. I think I was the youngest person in there and I'm only 13 years behind them. :-S

    Why is it that when someone who is in their seventies or eighties asks how old I am (I'll be 62 in August), they always say, "You're still a spring chicken!"?
    I still remember when I was a "spring chicken". It did not hurt like this. :-/

    Before the dinosaurs were the things like dimetrodon, the "mammal-like reptiles". They rules for a spell but then a major extinction event knocked the big ones out, with just some of the smaller ones left scurrying in the undergrowth, while the dinosaurs diversified and diverged to occupy the top spots (and one lineage gave rise to modern birds). Over time the smaller mammal-reptiles also diversified and changed, with one lineage giving rise to modern mammals. The dinosaurs ruled for a spell until another extinction event removed them, except for a few of the birds fluttering around in the undergrowth, and the mammals diverged and diversified to fill most of the top spots. Now, I don't want to worry you, but I often get the feeling the birds are perched there, watching and waiting for another spin of the wheel....

    who eats the spring chickens?

    I thought "spring chickens" was what one did for them if you let them escape from the barnyard. %-P If so, then your grammar is wrong. You should say "Who eats the sprung chickens?"

    And don't you say anything bad about my grammar. She was a very nice simple farm woman. >:-( She would have recognized that if the chickens got away then nobody would eat them.

    Picture of grammar below:

    I've come to the conclusion that geriatric hurting is punishment for not dying before one's "best-by" date.

    Well, good then. But it would have been newsworthy if his fish poop smelled like cat poop. He's not a piranha, is he? You're not missing a cat are you?

    I've solved that problem. I eat fish, not clean their toilets. I've also solved the pet problem all around. It's like children. You let other people house them. You just let them visit now and then and give them a snack, and send them on their way when they make noise or look like they're going to do messy things.

    His name is Stephane and he is a male Betta. Stephane is actually a french name for Steven.

    I have been missing my cats but that is because I relocated and could not bring them with me. It has been years but I still miss them.

    Speaking of Easter. I almost got all the way through the season without buying any chocolate. However, the DollarStore had an after Easter "gettin' rid of our stock" type sale and they had the big Russell Stover 7 oz. solid chocolate bunnys on sale. Not the hollow bunnies or the cheap faux-chocolate but solid 100% milk chocolate. I normally prefer dark chocolate but the 50% off of a solid bunny was too much of a temptation. I quickly unwrapped him and bit off his ears. Yum! :coolsmile: But then the addiction returned and before the day was out I stopped at another DollarStore and got another big solid bunny. Ooh chocolate (* said in my best Homer Simpson voice *). Unfortunately I've become lactose intolerant in my old age so there is a punishment for this vice. :red: Hopefully, I can eat them slowly enough to avoid excessively aromatic issues.

    Yeah, yeah, I know. There are better chocolates and I love them but there's something about biting the ears off of a big chocolate bunny that can't be matched by hand crafted gold foil wrapped chocolate nuggets, regardless of how expensive they are.

    ...yeah our major local grocery chain (Fred Meyer) put all the Easter candy on clearance. Of course they moved it right near the checkout area for those impulse buyers. Everything from Chocolate bunnies (a couple over a foot tall, most likely hollow though) to Cadbury Eggs, Peeps, and bags of jellybeans.


    Expecting the Memorial Day displays to go up any day now. Gee wiz, gotta get cracking, it's only a month and a half away!
