Chewy does dogs barks...big dogs, little dogs, far away dogs, dogs in the house - she also meows. She used to imitate the phone but since we haven't had a landline in years she quit that. She beeps like the microwave, will pick up a squeaky cabinet or door quickly. She talks and has a few phrases that she comes out with frequently...in my voice. She laughs and beckons us with c'mere, c'mere, c'mere if we have some food she wants us to share. There are the whistles and other noises you would expect. If I put her cage out in the deck she quickly starts imitating the wild birds in the area.

The funniest thing is when she starts making sounds from old B sci-fi shows. We don't watch them so I have to assume that the flying saucer and laser sounds are from when she was owned by a young man before we rescued her when he entered the military.

You can watch her sit in a corner and mutter to herself sometimes for several days. Suddenly she comes out with the new thing she has been practicing. She has to get it right before she shares her newest talent.

That's lovely. :-)

Had the last three nights off from work. Each night my lower back kept hurting worse even though I’m just sitting here streaming shows on the laptop. I have to return to work tonight, and hopefully my back can handle it.

Why is it that you only stumble over the really interesting web pages only a few moments before you have leave them unrad/explored and to go do something productive?

    

Not at work.

I wanted to upgrade the Internet here at home a couple months ago but the provider wasn't allowing techs to enter people's homes at that time.

Well, I have a tech scheduled today. The window of time for this service call is between 7 am and 6 pm.

That's not a window, that's a damn roll up garage door at minimum.

Bastards know when you have no other option but to play their silly game.

Always follow your dream, except maybe the ones where your Dad takes you to a hotel for a rite of passage, and the buffet lounge has every other important person in your life there, everyone has a cheeseburger, and they're all fucking said cheeseburgers.

If a chicken and a half can lay an egg and a half in a day and a half, why do we call them ‘blueberries’ when they’re actually purple?

Summer rainstorms, roof leaking at work, ceiling tiles sagging with the pregnancy of rainwater until right before me the tiles fall down and splash water all over the floor of the lockdown unit where residents wander around cluelessly. I’m not a housekeeper or maintenance, who cannot do anything about anything till Monday, and barrels are sitting in the hallway collecting rainwater. Except that there aren’t enough barrels and by time the floor cleaner, technically not a maintenance guy who can do anything to fix the problem, arrives in the morning the floor is rife with rainwater that falls past the rims of the barrels.
