I have to take issue with #1 on your list. I have long wished for a mini flamethrower to torch the birds that squack, chirp, warble, and coo outside my bedroom window starting at 4:45am. :fume:

She is so cute!!! Amazing gift, isn’t she? :slight_smile:

She is pretty damned cute. I don’t even like kids and I think she’s cute.

Thanks ladies. :slight_smile: :blush:

But I’m sad to report that tragedy has struck.

Our girl started attending school just a couple weeks ago. At first it seemed great. She loved all the new activities, all the new kids to play with, the regular romps in the park together.

Then last Friday they announced that she’s in the dinosaur class. The DINOSAUR class??? She can’t be a dinosaur; she’s always been a monkey. She bounces on the bed like a monkey, makes monkey noises, tell us we’re monkey daddy and monkey mommy and she’s monkey jiejie. And now they expect he to be a dinosaur – a dry, scaly, giant ferocious, extinct dinasaur. So she burst into tears.

I spent the whole weekend buying dinosaur books and puzzles with her, walking and roaring like a dinosaur and extolling the virtues of dinosaurs. But they might as well have told her she was a man. Yesterday was a sad day in school and last night she cried intermittenly in her sleep.

We’ll get past this, but in the spirit of this thread I want to announce something else that is good – monkeys. Soft, hairy, warm, lovable monkeys. Just don’t tell my girl I said that.

MT, you’ll just have to tell her about the monkeysaurus. :wink:

I used to have that same issue, when deep in the bowels of depression. Now I’m free of that dammed demon, I’m like this with the birds:

I’m most certainly not deep in the bowels of depression, but I do have bird trouble. I just want to sleep!! Till 7am!! Please!!! :taz:

Back to the topic at hand, also among the good things in life - the Zamboni.

I used to have wild pigeon nested in my balcony, cooing around, so that I often had dreamed of BBQ pigeon feast.
