oh man
I was going to pass my tea break by showing you what I'm working on, but my (free) flickr account is full and I can't figure out how to change my yahoo address to coincide with the one my credit card is billed to
anyway
I'll just figure that one out later and feed you pics down the process
I'm building a support structure for a 6'x2'x25" glass cage with sliding doors, that weighs . . . well it took five of us to heave it up the stairs (with our bare sweaty hands), and we're the approximate equivalent of two very burly guys with those suction cup handle thingies - it's kinda heavy
so my structure has to be sound and I'm framing it right into a corner
I'm doing this with almost exclusively with reused lumber, so I have to work around existing holes
also - yesterday I found to my dismay, that not only are neither the floor level nor the walls plumb
in my limited imagination, it had never occurred to me, that the corner might also not be a right angle
thankfully I had two of those boards, one of which is slated for a shorter lower level
I do a lot of sitting and staring at it, to see what else I might have to work around
the tank's gotta go on it tonight
tea break over

Hey guys-- who is it on here that's the bird expert? Someone newer... now I can't remember... we rescued a parrot yesterday from pitiful conditions and I want to brain storm to make sure I'm doing everything right. :-) I'll pm them if anyone remembers who it is. :-)

Sorry, can't help you with that. (Name)
Have you tried searching the introduction forum?

Lori P · 07-19-2008, 01:50 PM

Ah-- good thinking. :-) I'll try that, thanks!!

Lori P · 07-19-2008, 02:30 PM

Ok, this is so cool. :-) (But then you know I'm easy to please!!) So last week, for the first time, I put two litters of my own home bred pinkies in the freezer. This morning, Mrs. Mordecai got some of mine on one side of her dish and some left over from Rodent Pro on the other...

Guess which ones got eaten first??!!! Yep-- mine!! LOL I felt rediculously gratified that she chose the ones I grew for her... in fact, she BY PASSED the Rodent Pro ones for mine.

Methinks I must grow yummy mice!!!!! lol

Well, for a moment I thought my whole life was about to change.... I was checking this week's lottery results and the first four numbers out, I had! The final two numbers I was just a couple of digits out (29, I had 27 and 34, I had 32)... those digits make the difference between the £40- I just won and the £4.8 million I could have won!

Lori P · 07-19-2008, 05:33 PM

Well, gosh... with that 4.8 you could have brought us all over to visit you!!
