A Kinder, Gentler Post

After ranting about menopause and my vibrating glove, I decided to go the nature route here and post Mama Robin and her 3 little ones. They reside in the shrub in front of the house. Hard to believe these babies were just small blue eggs a few weeks ago. They appear to be doing well, getting bigger every day. Mama sits on the wire and keeps a watchful eye on the nest. I'm looking forward the the impending poo mess on the sidewalk as the babies start their flying lessons.

Most of the robins here were off and flying earlier this summer. We had one not do so well so the kids wanted to take it in. I said I wasn't going to eat worms and puke it back up for them to eat. Nature is amazing.

We have a bird that repeatedly built a nest by the side door. We finally gave up fighting it, and let it move in. A few weeks ago we found an almost dead baby bird on the ground close to it. Nothing we could do but let nature take it's course, no matter how much it hurt us to let that happen. There's still a bird hanging out in the nest, but we don't hear any babies out there.

Ah, how cute, I wonder what the vibrating glove would do to robin eggs in the hands of a woman in menopause?

That's so cute. We grew up in a house who hosted a robin's nest. It was really fun watching them grow and sad when they all flew away. But the next spring, a whole new batch was watched!

Love nature!

Update - The babies have flown from the nest. There is now one bird condo available at my house if anyone knows of any potential tenents.

LOL at all of your vibrating glove comments. Maybe we should have a toy of the month post?

Now Boarding Rows 1 Through 10. Is There Room For Your Carry On?

Here's an interesting texting typo I created last week: And if airline seats get any smaller, I can see this being an actual problem. Can you imagine? I'm sorry ma'am, but there is no way both of you can seat in one seat. You will have to purchase an additional ticket for "her". What would happen then? Would she want the window or middle seat? That's assuming she would even want to sit next to me. I mean, we are together 24/7 so she may want a little alone time, out in the open air, where she is free of any restraint. And what if she is chatty, flapping her lips the whole time? I'm not a big talker when I travel, preferring instead to bury my head in a magazine so I can take my mind off the flight and enjoy my Ativan. I imagine the conversation going as such: She:  I hate that bike seat at spin class. You have no idea what it's like. Me:  Spin class is only 50 minutes. You can handle it. I bought you padded shorts. Those weren't

Things For Which To Be Thankful

My two nieces have had some health issues lately. First E was admitted to the hospital with severe abdominal pain. She ended up with a five day stay. Then my other niece S spent twelve hours in the ER due to a pain in her side (no, it wasn't me). Not feeling up to par can really bring you down. So I am sending them both some well wishes here today and hopefully convincing them that there are worse things in life. There is 80's hair: Oh, and a couple of more things to add to the list: red shag carpet and wrist corsages. Rock me like a hurricane girls, but you sure are pretty in pink (and black). Hey - didn't you have a cat that got lost at one point. I think I see it. ADDENDUM - THOSE PICTURES ARE NOT OF ME. SORRY FOR THE CONFUSION. TO BE FAIR, I HAVE POSTED MY 80'S PIC BELOW:
