For many reasons, not the least of which is my enormous control issue, but fainting is on the very top of my do not want list.
Hope you are feeling stable now.
That's disturbing. You're emotionally scarred and will end up badly.

Why do I only remember Pierre from Really Rosie?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Hahah, Cass. I was all, hmph, no one is watching. Well, I bet Cass is, anyway. And of course you were. It was a good race! Even though it ended under caution; that last wreck was spectacular, as those things go. And I thought Dan had enough to take him at the end there if not for the yellow.
And sheesh, msbelle. Dehydration is bad. Rest up.

The SO impulse bought a giant ass grill. Well, responsibly impulse bought, as he`d saved his spending money. So we are having a classic Memorial Day weekend, watching the race and grilling out.

Oh, I love Pierre! In second grade, Ben's class did songs from Really Rosie for their play, and Ben got to play the lion. He was thrilled.
You remember Chicken Soup with Rice, don't you? "In January it's so nice, while slipping on the sliding ice ..."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
We had a surprise guest at our backyard cookout - an escaped parrot! At first we thought it was one of the wild parrots you see in the park every now and then, but it flew down from the telephone wire and right into our party. It landed first on my neighbor's mom's head, then my neighbor Jack, my neighbor Meema, then me, and then finally on my neighbor's stepdad, where it stayed. It was clearly a lost pet - it had a band on one leg and was obviously used to being around people. It didn't speak, but was very affectionate.
We posted on the local Yahoo group that there was a lost parrot and gave my cell #, and when we didn't get an answer after about an hour and a half we called a local animal rescue who got there in about 5 minutes and took the bird away in a cage. I really hope the owner finds it!

Vaguely. And Alligators All Around. But Pierre I've got a whole chunk of the lyrics!

Wow, Jess! That would only be better if the owners had called.

Aw! What a sweetie! I hope his people find him.

The animal rescue guy said that if the owners don't claim him, he has a waiting list for birds a mile long so it won't be difficult finding him a new home.
