I do OK on the keyboard, but am a lousy conversationalist in real time.

You do real good on the keyboard. I type like Tarzan. In person I mumble a lot and look for ways out of it. I don't like small talk or chit chat. When someone asks me how I am doing, I get the question in my head of whether this person actually cares or is just being polite, so I often don't answer right away as I'm thinking, always thinking.
 
who eats ONLY 3 cookies? I always start by culling the broken ones. Then any they got too brown or not enough brown. Followed by those that didn't get enough chips/nuts, whatever. Pretty soon I am left with the primo ones - decide to wrap, Rubbermaid them and put in freezer. Five minutes later decide it's stupid to waste the freezer on just a few cookies. Then

mad that I wasted wax paper and have to clean out an empty Rubbermaid container.

Cookies really stress me out, as do brownies, cupcakes, pumpkin loaf ....... Ice cream and I make the perfect match, just need a spoon and open container. Rinse it out and hide in the trash so neighbors don't count how many I have demolished.

:lau We must be twins.
 


Thought you'd like to see my ugly bug Java babies. Look at those 'chicken wings'! I've got to set up a cage for them today as tomorrow they are 10 days old and the perfect age to start hand rearing. Looks like their parents are feeding them plain old seed despite me giving them other options. I was just going to take two babies but now I'm worried that one on its own will get too cold, though surely the parents are still sitting on them enough to keep one warm. I'm not the most decisive person and I like to mull things over, but I'm running out of time!

The whole point of the aviary was to get the birds outside, but now they seem to be coming back inside, though in a good way as it's such a treat to have hand reared birds. As kids we had budgies and lovebirds, none of them hand reared though. I swore I'd never have pet birds as they are so messy, and budgies and lovebirds are noisy. Look at me now! I still wouldn't want anything noisier than my finches and bourkes though.

P.S. I'm never this chatty in 'real life' either. Lots of long, awkward silences is more my style! It's amazing how a few feathered fowl can bring people together.
