My Other Baby (Peaches)
Will, I belong to the DUH club too. I thought Peaches was a cat all this
time. "Granby" wrote in message ... Kyla, I hate to break this to you but, if you are in anyone's KF, that means they don't, for whatever reason want to hear from you. Sending a message as you asked could get someone else who was just trying to be nice added to that KF. "Will in New Haven" wrote in message ... On Aug 30, 5:06 pm, "Kyla =^..^=" wrote: "Will in New Haven" On Aug 30, 11:54 am, "jmcquown" Just an FYI, Peaches (the Fischer lovebird) is doing fine in my brother's care. He's not a stranger to birds but he's used to parakeets, not parrots. And lovebirds are most definitely parrots, albeit small ones When we spoke last weekend he said she was going through a fussy phase. She'd eat the heck out of some fresh kale or spinach one week then turn her beak up the next. Ditto broccoli florets... started off not interested then suddenly they were the best thing since sliced bread. LOL One week she'd chow down on slices of apple (she's very picky about them, they must be Fuji or Gala apples otherwise she won't bother), then she'd ignore them. Heh, that's normal. Who wants to eat the same thing all the time? She doesn't appear to be missing Persia (or me). Persia doesn't seem to miss her, either. This is probably because they didn't pay much attention to each other to begin with. There's only one time I know of that Persia really missed Peaches. They were both being boarded. Someone left the door to the cat room ajar while cleaning Persia's kennel. She escaped and went looking for Peaches. It was merely to assure herself she wasn't the only one stuck in that place I miss Peaches But it's nice to know she's healthy, and happy, not pining away for me or Persia. Frankly, with everything else going on it's a relief not to have to worry about her, too. I was wondering how she is doing. It is good to hear that she is healthy and in good hands. If she lived near us, she could send any apples she wouldn't eat to Buddy. Buddy loves apples. And almost any other foods. Boy, I'm really out of the loop. I didn't know Peaches was a bird. I thought Peaches was a kitty. Silly me. DUH!! Be well Jill My clowder is purring for you. Could someone please send PamS , Jill, and CatNipped a copy of my post 'You are Special' as I think I'm in their KF's? Thanks so much Hugs to all Kyla End-runs around kill-files, no matter how well-intenioned as I know yours is, are always taken badly. -- Will in New Haven Life is very difficult.

But if Peaches had been here, too, Persia may not have stayed under the bed for a week I've thought of you several times as I've been carefully peeling the lovely tomatoes I've grown. I can't eat them if I don't peel them, and have to limit eating them even them. I remind myself to be grateful I can have them al all. Jo Thanks! I haven't been buying tomatoes (or even jarred spaghetti sauce) because I can't be bothered running them through a food mill to remove the seeds. I know, I know, no one seems to know are are seeds bad or good. Makes perfect sense to me that they'd get stuck in the diverticuli and cause problems for someone like me. So if I want tomato-ey something I just doctor up plain ol' smooth canned tomato sauce Jill |

So if I want tomato-ey something I just doctor up plain ol' smooth canned tomato sauce Jill I know the feeling. Its a good thing I have tomatoes to waste. I try to get the seeds out in addition to peeling them. That usually involves eating them standing over the sink with a paring knife and peeling, the slicing off the seedless flesh and it gets pretty messy. Right now I have a huge bowl of ripe tomatoes. And still can't locate the food mill. Guess its time to remind Charlie how expensive those gadgets are and threaten to buy a new one. (He has a nasty habit of putting things 'away' where I can't find or reach them) Jo |

I don't have any of them in MY killfile. -- Will in New Haven Life is very difficult. Once you understand that, life becomes easier. -Buddha OT Heh..I like Jill and Persia although not fond of - to put it mildly - avians generally, but I always knew Peaches was a bird. All this time I have stayed in wonderment that Persia hasn't figured out a way to have her for a snack.... Will, you have posted a gem of wisdom here, providing "end-run" is in the intended vocabulary, highly unlikely. Ah, I see what you mean Thanks. No one from here is in 'my' killfile, except for the long gone t***ls If the Broncos are in *your* vocabulary, have a strong purr for them when they take on the Raiders soon in "back-to-back" tv games. They are even worse than last year (injuries, loss of former PK,RB,TE and WRs. They need any purrs they can get these days. Shanahan looks like stroke material in the preseason losses. GO Broncos Wonder if they'll ever play the Seahawks? Kyla |

In fact, I thought it odd that she wasn't a Peach-faced lovebird, with that name. And that Persia isn't a Persian. But Bear is in fact not a bear, so who am I to comment, even though I do. And I named a black puppy with a prominant white snowball on her chest Snowball. She spent the next sixteen years growing around that white spot and making it more and more inconspicous. To spite me. She had quite a sense of humor.

You read a whole lot more than I do AFA books, fiction, etc. but we are all SBS (and Squidward) devotees. However, I couldn't quote anyone except Plankton. We keep the Cartoon Network on in the living room when no one is home, so that the parrots will get a good education. I have it on right now because SpongeBob is one of the best things on TV. My quote was just what Squidward happened to say right at that moment. I'm saving it in my quotes collection, though. Plankton is a great, although microscopic, villain. And Patrick is one of my heros. -- Will in New Haven "You can fool everyone else in this badwater town.
