Gotta run to a meeting - not ghosting you, just won't be in front of my computer.
Definitely, but it's not always up to me. She mimics the phone ringing, microwave, etc, because she hears it. And when she first got here, what she repeated to herself was "Scooter! No! Ow! You little asshole!" I noticed she was fascinated by whispering, so that's what I did, and I almost never hear that original phrase anymore, but she whispers to herself a lot.
Yesterday we saw this handsome guy sitting pretty at the Desert Museum in Tucson.
This changed the moment the first public account of the massacre appeared. Thompson broke cover.
He refused to keep quiet or minimise the crimes committed, despite pressure from press, the military and a hostile Congress determined to cast him as a traitor.
He stood up. He testified at the public enquiry. He was vilified by many. /14
She came from a parrot rescue, so I don't know her age - she's young, so probably not more than 20. And yes, she talks, and sings, and whistles, and sounds like the microwave and the toaster oven. My favorite is when she whispers
"I love the Scootie, such a sweet Scootie" That one she learned from me and hubs. I'm currently teaching her to whistle Jeepers Creepers.
Gonna start a GoFundMe called "Nothing is currently wrong, but I live in a capitalist society so it is only a matter of time".
My parrot, Scooter The Gray, loves crows. When I take her outside she watches for them, calls to them, and nothing thrills her more than having one call back.
I think birds are fascinating, and I love watching them, even when they're loud (like Scooter)
This model is probably the great grandchild of the one we bought in 2008, when hubs decided to go back to college and become an RN. It worked through his college, and it's still working now, just sitting there, doing what it's supposed to, without a hiccup or complaint.
The world would be a better place if every buying guide was as brutally honest as this one from @nilay_patel.
(PS: I own this same Brother model whatever printer and can confirm it just works, year in and year out.)

Thereβs not βliberalβ and βconservativeβ news. Thereβs the news, based as close as can get on fact and truth, and then thereβs propaganda, filled with lies and distortions.
Fox is the latter.

Someone pointed out that 3 or more crows is called a murder of crows. Since I only had 2, it was just attempted murder.
@ScottSoCal
I love/hate this story.
I like the idea of getting of crows become my friends by leaving them nuts. But I think of the downsides. They scream at you!
Or, let's say you get picked up for questioning by the cops.
The cop asks you, "You're hanging out with all these crows..."
One of my co-workers is a crow. He shows up a couple of times a week, to knock on my office window and scream at me. I'm pretty sure he's an efficiency director.
Today I decided to appease my co-worker and leave mixed nuts on the windowsill. He showed up, screamed until the other efficiency director came, both ate the nuts, then paraded back and forth in front of my window, berating me for wasting time leaving nuts when I should have been working. Fine, be that way.
But I'll do it again. #Birds
DeSantis is punishing the Hyatt Regency Miami for hosting a Drag Christmas ball back in December. Heβs actually taken away its liquor license.
DeSantis is out of control, obsessed with oppressing freedom and gender identity expression and willing to abuse state power to do it.
My son told me that I am bigger, fatter and older than any other mommy and that I win.
At least I have that going for me.
On 16th March, 1968 Warrant Officer Hugh Thompson Jnr was flying helicopter reconnaissance for an attack on an alleged North Vietnamese-controlled village at My Lai.
As the ground attack developed below, Thompson realised he was in fact witnessing something something else:
A massacre.
He decided to act. /1 𧡠#history #histodons
Apple's choice to distinguish an incoming Facetime call from a regular voice call by displaying a full-screen video preview on your phone's screen is actually a pretty smart #ux decision.
Speaking as someone who just narrowly avoided blindly clicking the "Accept Call" button and flashing my elderly mother, I appreciate it.
