FRIDAY FIVEAppetizer – Name one chore you don’t really mind doing.
Feeding the birds and squirrels in my backyard. My kitchen window looks out on 3 birdbaths (2 hanging from bush and tree), 5 birdfeeders, and 2 squirrel feeders, as well as 2 suet containers stuck to trees. It’s pretty lively most of the time. The jays are the real hogs – they throw bird seed all over the place just to find the pieces they like. If squirrels weren’t fluffy and had big jaunty tails they would really be just tree-climbing rodents, so I don’t think of them that way. I have binoculars on my window sill just in case of the occasional rare type of bird that comes through. The sound of many birds excitedly chirping as they swoop across the yard is music. It’s endlessly pleasing.
Soup – How many times have you moved homes in your life?
Uncountable. So many. But I’ve only actually bought the one where I live now about 12 years ago. It’s a whole different feeling.
Salad – How old were you when you had your very first kiss?
It was in grade school, so I think I was about 11 or 12. Stanley Keller, cutest boy in my country school, kissed every girl at one time or another. In the steampipe room of the school, whatever that’s called.
Main Course – What time of day do you usually feel your best?
Easily early morning before dawn when it’s quiet and nobody is up yet to do me any damage.
Dessert – Using three words or less, describe your current local weather.
Wet wet wet.
Deep Thought: “Instead of a Seeing Eye dog, what about a gun? It’s cheaper than a dog, plus if you walk around shooting all the time, people are going to get out of the way. Cars too!”
Today I am grateful for: Having both day and night
Guess the Movie: “And I guess that was your accomplice in the woodchipper.” Answer: Fargo, 1996.
Winner: strawberry14.
Diabetes and the Trash Food Industry
by Derrick Z. Jackson
Type-2 Diabetes is sweeping so rapidly through America we need not waste time giving children bicycles. Just roll them a wheelchair. Forget the basketballs and baseballs. Give them Braille flash cards. (Rest of article here.)

25 days and counting of rain. Cheerful me am even beginning to feel stir crazy. I had to go out for a walk yesterday even in the rain to get some fresh air. I’m guessing the movie might be Fargo.
Hey good to hear from you and yes, it’s Fargo!
The appetizer sounds good to me…I think I’ll have a seat & watch! *wink*
I’ve heard you’ve had quite a bit of wet weather.
I don’t put birdfood out anymore because my cat thinks I’m bringing them in the yard for her dining pleasure.
My favorite time is late night when everyone else is sleeping.
that’s it…no more sugar for me…I wish I could really mean that..sugar is my drug.
I like that picture.
ohh man i should start one of those bird feders
maybe i can ake some cool pictures of them
Appetizer – Name one chore you don’t really mind doing.
The dishes because when I was a child I hated them and would do anything to get out of this chore. I lied, went to the bathroom for hours, had terrible diseases. Now if I do the dishes (I have a dishwasher) I feel like a good girl.
Soup – How many times have you moved homes in your life?
I have no idea I know that if I thought about it I would be counting for the next six months.
Salad – How old were you when you had your very first kiss?
About 12. I don’t remember his name.
Main Course – What time of day do you usually feel your best?
Early evening always has been this way.
Dessert – Using three words or less, describe your current local weather.

Everyone remembers the name of their first kiss. And then it all gets blurry. Heh.
