    Dear Fate,

    Please lay off the bf. Enough is enough. Having his truck and UHaul, loaded with what few belongings he has left, ready to head here and having it almost towed away is over the top! He paid $80 that he really couldn't afford to have it not taken away. (Thank you to my little angel that niggled him to go out at that moment, as the driver was about to leave. *whew*.) Let the bf get here safely, driving without the sleep he needed because since he had nowhere to park it, and had to leave TONIGHT or be in danger of it being towed away while he slept.

    Special brownie points to his brother-in-law who is the coolest guy on Earth, and has helped the bf in so many ways!

    Sincerely,
    Me

    I, too have a Poicephalus, Pepper is 10. Pepper is fully flighted and divebombs the dogs, some day one of them is going to retaliate, but Pois are snots by nature and Pepper won't stop. (S)he has also gotten out once and flew around the neighborhood - which is all my way of saying you gave Pajarito a wonderful life, and that's the most important thing!
    If you don't let them live, nothing ever happens to them. If you let them live, sometimes things go terribly wrong. But, the life is the important part.

    Thanks, everybody. I really appreciate your virtual hugs. He was a great little bird. I just wish he had met a more peaceful ending. But he has that now. Thanks again.

    Dear concerned friend,

    I know you are concerned about my well-being, but there is no need to continually warn me about the dangers of cycling at my age and acting shocked when you saw the bike rack on my car. I understand that you and your husband are totally against having a bike rack (though you no longer ride bicycles) but that is no reason to go ballistic on me when you saw mine. I am not your child, and you are certainly not in charge of my finances. Do you really think that all it will take to turn me against cycling is to tell me for the nth time about what can happen to a woman out on her own? What is up with that? I don't think that this has anything to do with me at all...

    Oy, Catrin, I would get rid of that friend. Anyone who thinks a 50 year old woman is old and shouldn't be doing something alone is nuts.
    There.
