DAY 19 ~ THANKS FOR THE VOTE!
DANIA’S LIFE part 11
I discovered birdchannel from a friend at my school. I registered in September 2011 after I got Angel and Luigi. The only friend on birdchannel that I talked to was SKY. Everyday there would be new activities on birdchannel he would tell me. But I really didn’t know how to go to a milonga or the kissing booth. So that’s how I didn’t know how to meet other birdies. I met Sky when he first came on BC with the broken wings broken promises page. Angel’s page was changed to birdie zone and Luigi became DJ LUIGI. To be honest, Luigi leans more to singing with me and listening to sounds than learning other tricks. Luigi started making more birdie friends when Luigi started running for 500 votes to participate for bird of the month. Next Dania’s vacation to Lebanon, to be continued…..Come visit me, DJ LUIGI-Vote for me BOTM!!!!!!! & Calypso- THANKS FOR BOTD! Happy Mother's day!.

Hello Molly~
I hope you are having a wonderful day. I've got the gardeners here to watch. They are outside my window mowing the lawns! Pretty soon Mandy will be woofing to go out just because she likes to smell the fresh cut grass! Mom takes her for a walk everyday and Mandy has decided she likes to walk down to the Starbucks. Do you suppose it's the scones they sell? I always share my scones with her so maybe she figured she just go down there and get us some! I like the way she thinks!!
Mom already went to the market before I even got up! The store is open 24 hours a day. It's less crowded early in the mornings but mom has to put up with freight on the floor and the floor scrubber being used. Since she works nights at a store, she is use to that stuff.
She got me some pecans so I'm looking forward to my snack! I'll be having apples and pecans today! Yum!
I'll be supervising the chores later on and letting mom know how she should do stuff! We all know our parronts would be lost without us!!
I'm glad your mom is busy! I know you would rather have more time with her, but if she's busy it means her business is doing well!! We are glad about that!!
Enjoy the day!
Love, hugs and a vote ~ Sugar

DAY 16 ~ THANKS FOR THE VOTE!
DANIA’S LIFE part 8
Before I ever got Luigi and Angel as my pets, I used to beg every single day for a pet. Ever since I was 4, I would wine and cry for a pet. The answer I got was a no, as always. Growing up, whenever I found out one of my classmates has a pet, I would go to my parents and use it as an excuse to get a pet. Then when I was around 13, I got very jealous when I found out my uncle got a hamster for his son and daughter and my neighbor friend got a canary. Well that made my beg and cry like crazy. So after begging for 12 years, my mom got fed up of me never giving up on this topic. So she discussed with dad and she asked me, what pet do you want? Well my options were short; I wasn’t allowed to get a dog, for obvious reasons in my religion. A cat will make my parents sneeze. A reptile was out of the question, and then I remembered how I loved playing with my grandma’s budgie. I decided I wanted to get a bird. Ok, the type of pet was decided, now the type of species was the argument. I told my parents I wanted a how bird that can talk and I could cuddle with. I asked to get a big bird, then no was the answer. First of all, theres no room in my house, second, I can’t put the bird outside since it’s freezing in Canada. So my parents told me you can get a big bird in Lebanon where it’s nice and warm. Ok, so the bird was going to be smaller, but I didn’t care because I wanted a pet really badly because I wanted to hold it and play with it. So when we went to montreal one time, there was a pet store in one of the big shopping malls. I went to see it and there was a whole bunch of small and medium birds. I saw canaries up high up on the cages. And fischers lovebird, cockatiels, it was a wonderland. At first I wanted the cockatiels, but mom thought they were noisy since they were screaming when I approached them. Then I saw the doves and I thought they were lovebirds. I told my mom I wanted the doves, she said no because they are harder to take care of. My mom pointed to the real lovebirds, they were so small, but then I thought about it. Then mom told me will buy the birds next time we come. To be continued….Come visit me, DJ LUIGI-Vote for me BOTM!!!!!!! & Calypso- THANKS FOR BOTD! Happy Mother's day!.

Hi Miss Molly
Spotlight on Caring-Taz part 6
Hello from SKY. Welcome to part 6 of my interview with Taz and his Mom Gail Sky; Please tell us about Xena and the other birds that make up your flockily. Mom Gail; XENA was the love of my life. She was my soul mate and when she died a part of me died with her, she left a hole in my heart. Don't get me wrong, I love all of my babies very much. Xena was only 18 months old when she died; we got her from the same lady where we got Taz. This can be a very long story so I'll make it short. Xena broke one of her legs but it was just a hairline fracture so she had to live in her aquarium for four months while it healed. She did amazing while living there. We used to live in a townhouse with three levels at that time and we used to go to the bottom level to relax at night and watch TV. Some of the birdies used to live on the second level and some on the bottom level so the birdies that lived on the second level all came down stairs so we were all together. Burt used to pick up Xena's aquarium and bring it down so she could be with the rest of the flock. This hairline fracture healed and Xena was back in her cage and all was going well until she broke the other leg but this was worse and required surgery to put a pin in it, back in the aquarium she went for another four months. She was so good; never once in either instance did she cry from pain or ever try to bite me. I had to give her antibiotics so I used to pulverize the pill and add it to some cantaloupe juice and Xena would happily eat it all up...she loved cantaloupe. After the four months were up, she went back to the vet, he x-rayed her and decided the pin needed to come out as it was starting to cause issues with her walking. I was in the room with her during her recovery time and she never woke up from the surgery! The vet did everything he could to try and resuscitate her but nothing worked. I cried out in such pain and fell to the floor when she didn't come to. I was devastated and I mean devastated beyond belief. They gave Xena's body to me wrapped in a towel and I sat on the floor literary wailing until they came gave me a room to sit in. I sat there and cried and wailed until Burt came to pick me up, they called him as I couldn't drive myself home. It took me a couple of years before she could even think about her without breaking down. I couldn't sleep or eat and lost 40 pounds during the first few months; I told you she took a piece of my heart. Burt didn't know what to do or how to console me as I was inconsolable. Thank goodness that I had my husband and all my babies here to help me though it. I never thought in a million years that I could ever love a little bird so very much.
Sky; next week we shall conclude our interview with Taz and Mom GAil. I trust all have enjoyed this series as much as I have in preparing it.

We tied with Phoenix yesterday as the warmest cities in the US! COOL! That is a first!! I can also just about

Hello Molly~
How are you doing today? It's very pretty here still and I can't believe all the sunshine I am getting to enjoy.
Mom is going to run over to the library and the market soon but she's only going to the market across the street so she won't be gone long. The library is only 3 blocks up the street. I love having it so close so that when I'm done with my picture books mom can get over there and get me more! I truly do love storytime!
Mom and the kids want to go see Iron Man 3 but I don't know when they are going. Everyone has to go somewhere today so they might go tomorrow morning.
I just love your picture of the family! Is that your grandma there? Is she doing well?? She looks well!
I hope everything is just wonderful at your place today!
Leaving a vote and a big hug!
With love from ~ SugarCome visit me, BOTD ARCHIVES, Sugar & The Calendar Page ~May Flower is the Lilly!.

Hi Molly!
Thank you for stopping by to congratulate me when I was Bird of the Day! I had a lovely time in the castle with beautiful Chyna.
I'm still nervous in my new home, but I am adjusting. Momma needs to work on me with my step ups, I'm not very good with them. I like shoulders, but no one seems to want me to go up there yet. I bit mom three times yesterday. I was sitting by her chest and she was getting up to get something, but she scared me and a bit her neck. Then when she tried to get my beaky off I bit her finger and the back of her head. I didn't bite her that hard, but I did make her bleed a little bit. She has a nice mark and bruise on her neck, but she's okay. She said she's not mad at me. I really like destroying stuff (as expected)! I've almost destroyed a whole toy in my cage, and I've also destroyed many finger traps, lolly pop sticks, and a ball. hehe! Mommy made birdie for me (And I guess those other birds that I'm not allowed to play with). It has red, orange and yellow bell peppers, strawberries, almonds, and flax seed in it. I really like bread, so it's a good way for me to eat that other stuff! I also talk! I can say Hi Jester, Hi, Jester, I love you, and mommy thinks she heard me say pretty bird. I also laugh, bark, and blow kisses! I have two voices, a really deep one that a mumble stuff with, and a really adorable one that I say most of my words with. Mom says she'll have to get a video of me talking, it's so sweet!
Hugs, JesterCome visit me, Jester Bean, Angel Dudley (RIP), Hermione, Pretty Bird Paintings, Angel Weasley & Angel Jacob, Peatree & Bellatrix~Goooooo Kevlar Keets!.

Hi Miss Molly
Spotlight on Caring-TAZ part 5
Hi birdies, SKY here with the 5th part of our interview with the PROCTOR flock. I wish to thank TAZ and his Mom Gail for sharing with us. SKY; please, continue to tell us about your wonderful flock members. JEWEL was the next to join the flock, Burt saw her in one of the local bird stores and as I said before he is a sucker for birdies needing a home so Burt paid for her and home she came. He thought that maybe she would help mom get over TJ. She was originally purchased from the store as a present for a man's wife but was returned after she decided she didn't like the woman and bit her. Guess what, she is my girl now...see what taking a little time can do.
CALABAR was a Mitred conure and was Jewel’s best friend. Their cages were close to each other and they would be visiting and playing together all day long. Calabar was one of the bird store employee’s bird but they also had an Umbrella cockatoo that attacked her and left a mark on her beak so they wanted a safer environment for her so we took her in. Before she came to live with her previous owner her life was not so good, she was exposed to a lot of bad things like cigarette smoke, marijuana smoke etc. she did not get a good diet their either…taco chips etc. She lived in a party house that was not a proper place for a parrot. She was with us for 10 years and one day we came home and found her on the bottom of her cage. She had passed away while we were gone. We had a necropsy done and it was found that she had a hole in her proventicular and some other issues probably caused by her diet and exposure to bad air. I miss her a lot as she was a very sweet girl who loved to ride on shoulders and loved car rides.
Scooby Doo joined us after we used to visit another bird store here and we saw him there a few times but then he got sold to a lady who ended up returning him as she said she was allergic to him. We used to visit him at the store until one day Scooby was out and sitting on a little girls shoulder and he decided he would fly over to visit me and he sat on my shoulder for the rest of the time I was there so they decided to buy him and a new cage and home he came. Burt calls him the Universal Parrot...he loves everyone and never bites. He is a joy to take to schools as he loves the kids there.
with my heart filled with love,

Spotlight on CARING-Taz part 4
HELLO all, SKY BOY here with the continuing interview with our good friends TAZ, The PROCTOR FLOCK and Mom Gail SKY; Tell me about the birds in your flock? Are any rescues?
MOM GAIL; TWEETY our first fid passed away on New Year's Day 2005, she was 11 years old. She was a very sweet girl and she is missed.
TAZ is the only planned fid in our flock Taz, we found him at a breeders about 180 miles away. We decided on a citron cockatoo after doing a lot of research on them. He was only a couple of months old when we first saw him and of course we fell in love with him. He stayed there until he was 6 months and then he joined our flock. He is a joy but he is also a challenge. He used to be strictly a mama’s boy but around 10 years ago he decided that in the mornings he is a papa’s boy but in the evening he loves me. If I am in the room as well as Burt then his mission is to get rid of me. He is a planner; he plans and figures out the best way to get me. I have been bitten quite badly a few times and Burt was almost ready to remove him from the flock but I would never let that happen. Burt would never really do that but in the moment that he saw me bitten he was just very upset. We have a system figured out so that we are not in the bird room together when Taz is out. He is such an intelligent fellow; it is amazing to watch him. He loves wood and will go through a toy in less than a day so we need to have lots and lots of wood around for him.
TJ was next to join, Burt saw him in the local pet store sitting in a small cage looking very sad…Burt is a sucker for a sad face so he bought him and surprised me. I took him to our vet and had all the tests done as I had a bad feeling about him. He was with us for a short nine months. One day after his quarantine was over I noticed that he had some discharge coming from one of his nares so off to the vet we went. The vet did a culture and came back and the result was Pseudomonas so he gave me the medicine to treat him. TJ was none too fond of being toweled for his medicine but over all he did great. I had to flush his nares as well. He appeared to be over it and was doing well. About a month later I noticed discharge coming from the same nare again. Off to the vet and more tests were taken and this time the vet came back with a diagnoses of Aspergillus so more medicine for TJ to take. I followed the vet's instructions but started to think that things were not right so I called to talk to the vet and could not get a hold of him but the tech said to continue the meds as they all needed to be taken to be effective. I gave TJ his next dose but shortly after he was convulsing on the bottom of his cage so I called Burt and we took him to the emergency vet and unfortunately TJ did not make it. They tried to save him but it was not to be. I felt very guilty about that and blamed myself for his death, I still do.
to be continued
with my heart filled with love

Hi Molly
Medical Information
From The Desk Of Jetta.....
Did you know that once you hit 40 years of age, whether you're a man or a women, your body starts aging FASTER than normal?
Studies have shown that without the proper nutrients and exercise, your body will age about 6 months EXTRA for every year that passes. Think about that! If you are 40, that means by the time you hit 44 you will LOOK and FEEL 48.
And by the time you reach 60, you will LOOK and FEEL 70 YEARS OLD! We see this every day... just look around you.
Did you know that 90% of people over the age of 35 lose enough muscle every year to burn off an additional 4 pounds of body fat? That means you not only lose the only thing on your body that creates shape, tone, and strength—you also gain more fat every year, even if your calories stay the same.Come visit me, Jabber & Jetta.

Hi molly
Well, confinement for the morning. ANOTHER bird show. why? Pop's has about 20 toys already made up for all of us, so we really can't see the point. But he does want to get MORE pieces and parts, so he has a supply on hand when we need them. We don't destroy them that FAST. Jetta.Come visit me, Jabber & Jetta.

Hi molly
Tips & Tricks
From The Desk Of Jetta
To save money on air fair, shop online on weekdays, specifically from Monday evening about 8 PM EST to Thursday 8 PM, EST. And the best time of all, according to one expert we talked to, 3 PM, Tuesday.
Don't wait until the vacuum bag is full to replace it. By then, it will have lost significant suction power.
Don't wash or dry one or two small items. They won't get as clean as they would in a fuller load, and the dryer's moisture sensors might not work properly.
Measure your laundry detergent with the provided cap. Use too much, which many people do, and you could get residue on your clothes. Remember that today's washers use much less water than older machines.
Don't use cooking sprays on your nonstick pans. They can build up and actually cause food to stick. Instead, use nonstick pans on low or medium heat without spray.Come visit me, Jabber & Jetta.

Hi Molly
From the Desk Of Jetta
A.A.A.D.D.- KNOW THE SYMPTOM!
Thank goodness there's a name for this disorder.
Age-Activated Attention Deficit Disorder.
This is how it manifests:
I decide to water my garden. As I turn on the hose in the driveway, I look over at my car and decide it needs washing.
As I start toward the garage, I notice mail on the porch table that I brought up from the mail box earlier. I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car.
I lay my car keys on the table, Put the junk mail in the garbage can under the table, And notice that the can is full.
So, I decide to put the bills back On the table and take out the garbage first...
But then I think, Since I'm going to be near the mailbox When I take out the garbage anyway, I may as well pay the bills first.
I take my check book off the table, And see that there is only one check left. My extra checks are in my desk in the study, So I go inside the house to my desk where
I find the can of Pepsi I'd been drinking.
I'm going to look for my checks, But first I need to push the Pepsi aside So that I don't accidentally knock it over. The Pepsi is getting warm, And I decide to put it in the refrigerator to keep it cold.
As I head toward the kitchen with the Pepsi, A vase of flowers on the counter Catches my eye--they need water.
I put the Pepsi on the counter and Discover my reading glasses that I've been searching for all morning. I decide I better put them back on my desk, But first I'm going to water the flowers.
I set the glasses back down on the counter, Fill a container with water and suddenly spot the TV remote.
Someone left it on the kitchen table.
I realize that tonight when we go to watch TV, I'll be looking for the remote, But I won't remember that it's on the kitchen table, So I decide to put it back in the den where it belongs, But first I'll water the flowers.
I pour some water in the flowers, But quite a bit of it spills on the floor. So, I set the remote back on the table, Get some towels and wipe up the spill.
Then, I head down the hall trying to Remember what I was planning to do.
At the end of the day:
The car isn't washed,
The bills aren't paid,
There is a warm can of Pepsi sitting on the counter,
The flowers don't have enough water,
There is still only 1 check in my check book,
I can't find the remote,
I can't find my glasses,
And I don't remember what I did with the car keys.
Then, when I try to figure out why nothing got done today, I'm really baffled because I know I was busy all day, And I'm really tired.Come visit me, Jabber & Jetta.

Hi Miss Molly
SPOTLIGHT on CARING-TAZ part 3
Hi SKY here with part 3 of our interview with TAZ, the PROCTOR FLOCK and their mom GAIL. SKY; Do you volunteer somewhere,or speak to people about birds
Mom GAIL; I don’t volunteer anywhere as there is no place near us. I do volunteer to take my birds (mainly Simon and Scooby) to local elementary schools. I do have a funny story about Simon while at an elementary school…we all were moving our birds from classroom to classroom and my husband, Burt, was carrying Simon and I was a head of them in the hallway when Simon decided he wanted to be with me and not Burt so he flew out of Burt’s hand toward me when he overshot me and failed to stop or turn before he got to the wall and crash (he wasn’t hurt…he’s pretty hard headed in more ways than one). Nothing else was hurt or damaged so we continued on to the next classroom, when we got home we got a call from the school about Simon…he was not welcome back unless he had his wings clipped or was wearing a harness. Since neither of those was going to happen he never went back to that school. We tell everyone that he got kicked out of school…hehe
Scooby loves to go to and see the kids and the kids love him. All the kids line up and one by one they get to have Scooby step up on their arms…the look on their faces is priceless…
SKY; thank you Mom Gail and TAZ

Hello Molly~
I hope your day is going great! I have to apologize for not getting around as much as I should. Things got a bit busy and unfortunately, my social time is suffering!
Who knew humans could have so much stuff that needs going thru!!!
Dad took over the storage room so now there is lots of stuff that needs to be put somewhere else or tossed. The whole process is taking much longer than we thought it would. I have suggested that we only keep my toys and anything we need to use for food and toss everything else! Nope! None of that stuff was in the storage room but I think it would be a good thing for all of us to downsize! Toys and food are the most important things so we definately need to keep that stuff! I suppose the dog, the cat and the turtles can stay too!
I'm enjoying my apple right now and enjoying the view from the window. Yes! I have sunshine! It is going to be lovely for the next few days. The way it works up here is that the weekdays are lovely and when the weekend gets here the rain will come back! It's sorta like mother nature likes to tease us!
Enjoy the day and I hope it's spectacular!
Love, hugs and a vote ~ SugarCome visit me, BOTD ARCHIVES, Sugar & The Calendar Page ~May Flower is the Lilly!.

Hi Molly
The Cockatoo scream will make anything run for cover LOL.
A Rudy C/P:
Mom is very frustrated ... Cappy got the new cage and has already escaped ... he broke a weld on the food bowl door and out he went for a wonderful day of destruction. Lets see, he destroyed the air filter (literally) and ate the cord right out of the electric socket (they had it protected with PVC pipe), he destroyed the pre-filter and left its trail around Rudy's cage, he destroyed the avain scale, he destroyed an ink pen, he pulled out his pan (all the way mind you) and shredded the paper, chewed up a few toys except what was in his cage, tried to get me out of my cage by unscrewing my food door lock and throwing it on the floor and mom doesn't know yet what else he got into SIGH. Never a dull moment. He had soooo much FUN and was so proud when momma came in and saw all his handy work. Mom says "Cappy is very lucky momma loves him" If I did that I would have been grounded SIGH. V4U. Hugs.
Love RudyCome visit me, Captain (Cappy), Rudy, Dory & Dixie.

Hi molly
Tips & Tricks
From The Desk Of Jetta
46. A natural and effective bathroom cleaner can be created using baking soda and Murphy Oil Soap, a biodegradable, phosphate-free vegetable oil soap invented in 1905. Sprinkle some baking soda on porcelain bathroom fixtures and rub with a wet rag. Add a little Murphy Oil Soap to the rag and continue rubbing. Rinse well. For the toilet, apply baking soda inside the bowl and follow with a bit of Murphy Oil Soap. Scrub with a toilet brush. Wear an old pair of socks over your hands like mittens while you scrub with the soap. This two-handed method will have your furniture, mantels, tabletops, cabinets, blinds, and ceiling fans dusted in half the time.
47. A room or house containing a fireplace that has been unused for a long stretch of time will sometimes start to have a sooty odor from drafts circulating through the house. The Old Farmer’s Almanack for 1914 suggests this method for freshening up the air: Crumple old newspapers, put them in the fireplace, and sprinkle ground coffee on top of the newspapers. Light a fire and allow it to burn. The coffee scent will clear the sooty odor and you won’t be breathing in the neurotoxins commonly found in air fresheners!
48. When you prepare corn on the cob, pasta, potatoes, or other vegetables, don’t pour the hot water down the drain. Instead, remove the food with tongs or a slotted spoon. When the water has cooled dump it directly onto a thirsty plant, or save it in a large container to take out to your garden later.
49. It’s important to keep all of the plants in your garden labeled in order to properly keep track of them, but commercial plastic labels will never decompose. Instead, use objects you are already planning on recycling such as an aluminum pie tin cut into strips. Engrave the plant names into the soft aluminum using a large nail or ballpoint pen. Or try cutting white detergent or bleach bottles into strips, using a permanent marker to write the plant names.
50. This year, don’t toss out all your lovely holiday cards with the tree. Do like the Victorians and make old cards into gifts: gather inexpensive picture frames at discount stores and yard sales during the year and use them to frame your own card collages. You can also make tree ornaments for next Christmas using your cards: collect bits of fringe, trim, and ribbon from left-over wrapping to use as borders, then punch a hole through the top of each card and pull a ribbon through it to hang. Another way to extend the enjoyment of your cards is by using them to make gift tags. Cut around a desired swatch, such as a bell or wreath, or cut your own shape from a patterned or colored background. Additional shapes can be made using cookie cutters as guides. Use a hole punch to attach a ribbon to toe the tags to your packages.Come visit me, Jabber & Jetta.

Hello Molly~
I do hope you are having a wonderful day! I'm doing just fine. Not much going on around here today. Dad has been cleaning out the storage room to make it into a workshop so mom and I have lots of stuff to find a place for. Mom says some of it can just be sent off to goodwill but it will be interesting to see where she is going to put the rest of it! Mom says that if we haven't used it for a while, it is really time to get rid of it. You can tell that mom doesn't like clutter!
I'm going to hang out in the play cage and supervise the job! I'm very good at supervising and I like to shout out lots of suggestions too!!
I do hope your day is just wonderful! Stomping out a vote and sending hugs your way!
Love you ~ SugarCome visit me, BOTD ARCHIVES, Sugar & The Calendar Page ~May Flower is the Lilly!.

Hi Molly
Tips And Tricks
From the Desk Of Jetta.
41. To save money on printing, avoid the Arial font, as it uses more ink. Minimize the use of color ink by printing text in grayscale or use black-only mode.
42. And recycle spent cartridges for a refund or credit at an office-supply store.
43. When you change your car battery, you typically lose radio presets and other electronic functions. Consider using a jump-start battery you plug into the cigarette lighter to power those functions while the battery is out.
44.To clean ground-in sand or dirt from your carpet, set the carpet head to the lowest level. This will allow brushes to really get the dirt out.
45. When you're comparing the price of electronics, know that some brands include a charger and a case; others make you pay extra.Come visit me, Jabber & Jetta.

Hi Miss Molly
Spotlight on Caring -Taz part 2
SKY; How did you become a bird owner?
Mom GAIL;When we got back from Hawaii we started doing a lot of research on parrots, especially cockatoos. While doing that research a friend of ours had a little cockatiel named Tweety that they wanted to find a home for since his wife was pregnant and they didn’t think it was safe to have her around bird poop, so Tweety was our first bird and we were hooked. The rest of the flock followed though out the years…
Tweety (Cockatiel (RIP)
TJ (CAG) (RIP)
Jewels (Nanday Conure)
Taz (Citron C2)
Xena (CAG) (RIP)
Calabar (Mitred Conure) (RIP)
Scooby Doo (OWA)
SuziQ (SI Ekkie)
Chloe (CAG)
Simon (B&G Macaw)
Pearl (Cockatiel (RIP)
Chica (B&G Macaw)
Napoleon (CAG)
Rosie (GALA)) SKY; TAZ, when did you join BC?
TAZ; 11/16/2006 but Mom didn’t start using it much until 3/23/2011 and Suzi Q was voting to help Chi chi attain her 10K votes…
SKY; tell us a little about how you are involved with birds?
Mom Gail; Other than taking care of my own flock, I am the secretary/treasurer of our local bird club. We are involved with rescuing birds and finding homes them and others that need a new home.
Sky; thank you Taz and Mom Gail. We will continue with our interview next Wednesday.

Hi Molly
From The Desk Of Jetta
Wild Hogs A Nuisance That Originated With DeSoto. Pt 2
Next to white-tailed deer, hogs are the most popular game animal in the state, according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.
There are a number of hog hunting clubs around Florida as well as a network of outfitters and guides serving hog hunters.
Although Florida's estimated hog population totals 500,000, making it second only to Texas, information on the results of hog hunting is hard to come by.
Because there are no bag limits and there is unrestricted hog hunting allowed on private lands, there are no figures on the number of hogs killed each year, according to FWC officials.Come visit me, Jabber & Jetta.

Hello Molly~
I hope your day is going great! It's pretty quiet around here. Mom and I are watching the last Harry Potter movie! It's very exciting but very sad too!
It's still cool and rainy here. It got warm for a few days and then went back to being cold again. That is why we had the avalanches up in the mountains. They do avalanche control all the time up there but they had no warning for these avalanches. At least it's closed down now so everyone will be safe.
Mom cleaned my cage out before I even got up this morning! I think that was pretty sneaky of her!! It does look very nice and I have a new toy so I guess it's time to mess it up again! You know we like our cages just so!!
Enjoy your day and I hope it's spectacular!!

Hi Molly
Old Wife's Tales
From The Desk Of Jetta
Pastry must be rolled an uneven number of times otherwise it will be tough.
Every scrap of pastry must be baked or there will be an unwanted expense.
Cold hands and a warm heart make the best pastry.
A thunderstorm will addle eggs and sour any milk that’s been left out.
Before a young girl bakes her first loaf of bread, her hands should be rubbed in sugar so that she may always make good, sweet bread.Come visit me, Jabber & Jetta.

Morning Molly
Old Wife's Tales
From The Desk Of Jetta
If a home is in disarray on New Year’s Day, the housewife will struggle with clutter and dissatisfaction throughout the year. If it’s tidy and clean, the home will be easy to manage.
Laundry should never be done on Sundays for there will surely be a terrible stain, tear or worse in the week ahead.
Above ground crops (such as tomatoes) should be sown in the wane of the moon; underground crops (carrots, potatoes, parsnips, etc.) at the change of the moon.
The best day of the year to plant cabbage is on St. Patrick’s day.
The best time to plant flowers is in the increase of the moon.Come visit me, Jabber & Jetta.
