The main reason this board still lets me hang around is that I supply the setup for some of Billytea's best lines.
I'm sorry. You were going to ask me to choose, right? Did you want to finish?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Please let me find a job that doesn't make me feel like throwing up four times a day in the New Year.
At least I'm doing better than Allyson! I can't decide if checking my email would make it better or worse.

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".
If I could take a ferry to Ikea I would even if all I bought once I got there was Swedish meatballs.
Sure, it sounds romantic, but then you discover you have to assemble the ferry yourself.
I got nothing. It just says it all.

Help desperately needed!
We are on the verge of becoming a fiasco of the type that is broadcast on This American Life.
One of the paired doves that hangs out around our house just fell down the chimney and is now in trapped in the fireplace. Non lethal suggestions for how to get him out?

How is it trapped?

Sheets. Swooping sheets herding it to an opening.
If you can corner it with the sheet in the fireplace, blocking the upward escape, and lay your hands on it, carry it outside and all is good.
If it's stuck in the chimney, or not coming out, just block out its entrance to the house. It will get out as long as nothing is seriously wrong with it.
Man, I wish I were there. I'm good at that shit.

I've gotten several birds out of stoves safely. As Sarameg says, block off its ability to go anywhere but the nearest exit and open that exit. They usually find their way out pretty quickly. You can shoo them in the right direction with a broom.

I called Lori. She brought a lacrosse stick. I don't like birds enough to lay my hands on one.

Our fireplace is gas. My other thought was turn on the gas without lighting the pilot until it passes out, then take care of it. People pointed out that was a bad idea because it might make the house go boom.
The bird freaked out the dog who thought, Toy! an lunged for it while it was on the other side of the glass doors in the fireplace. Noah FREAKED OUT completely. Poor baby.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Good Luck kat!
My PBS station is playing This is the Army, for no apparent reason. They credited the cast/crew with their army ranks. Costumes by Pvt. Orry-Kelly is making me laugh!
