    I don't have a dog or cat, nor do I particularly want one. I'm more of a bird man, as evidenced by my avatar. However, I love seeing all the pics in the dog and cat threads.

    Birds are pretty cool. My husband used to have a parrot named Skipper who'd perch on his shoulder, pirate-style. And my sister had a parakeet as a kid, but she "hugged" it a little too hard one time, and then we were birdless.
    I've basically lived all of my life, at least all that I can remember, with a cockatiel. My dad got the first one when I was 3. Wound up taking him when I was in college after my dad passed away (mom didn't want him and I couldn't just let her give away my buddy). Kept that tiel until he died when I was 27. Went about 6 months before my wife and I decided we wanted another one and adopted the guy in my avatar. Had him going on 5 years now. I think I've gotten so used to having a bird around that I wouldn't know how to live without one!
    I really like birds. Had several budgies over the years, and would love an African Grey...I just don't have the room for one, nor do I know of any other bird lovers to take care of one when I go on vacation.
    African Greys are cool, but I don't know about owning one. I would definitely need a bigger house, that's for sure. I imagine that they're quite a handful too.
    Don't they live 50 years or something too (if they're fed properly), and are completely traumatized when the person they've bonded with leaves or dies? Quite a commitment.
    Yes, you're right on all that. I think they can live longer in captivity, depending on the quality of care the bird receives. Some of the stories about abandoned (for lack of a better word) birds are truly heartbreaking. I mean, Sarah McLachlan type sad.

    Great interview, and I have a in-person follow up next week. We haven't discussed compensation. When I submit my resume to other jobs that question is part of the application process. It will come up.

    I have had this weird headache all week. It's like a subtle constant vibration. Nothing like any kind of headache I have ever had before. Anybody get this? Should I be worried?

    Weather-related, Frankie? I wouldn't freak out but might be worth checking in with a doc to be on the safe side.

    I have a craving for Hawaiian Punch for some reason...I haven't had it since I was a kid.

    I havent. I will do that when i get home, good idea! I am usually 115 over 75 so I wonder what it is now.

    I am slightly iron deficient anemic, do you think that could do it?

    Lost our league semi-final tonight, so I decided to console myself by spending more money than is sensible on going to see Muse in Glasgow on Monday night!
