Kiki's White Trash and or Nerdy Birthday Bash Funeral

[Kiki]

Nah - some poor fool paid a fortune to order it online and get it shipped to the store ... then some other redneck swiped it out of their yard, leaving their babies crying while they ordered another with the Free Shipping code they earned buying the first one. Then the Karma-Wind blew it out of the pool-burglar's truck and into Kiki's field. See ... everybody "gets theirs!"

It took the doctors weeks to figure out that's what he had. They didn't figure out why it killed him until the autopsy. In addition to type 2 diabetes, apparently he'd had cirrhosis of the liver (due to his weight) for the last 10-15 years. This compromised his immune system to the point that he couldn't resist it and it infected all of his sytems. He was on a respirator for his last month because it got into his lungs. If the Bartonella's (cat scratch fever) hadn't gotten to his brain, he still would have had brain damage from lack of oxygen.

That's so sad, I'm sorry Bee.
My neighbor's brother got bit on the pinky by a cat. A week later he was on a ventilator in hospital staving off a blood infection and fighting for his life. He ended up losing his entire forearm but he lived. You hear a lot of these horror stories in vet med.

Want to take a wild guess on how much it costs to order and expedite a birth certificate that may not even ship out within 10 days

Been there, done that. Our state did notify us that a birth certificate was required. I assumed that the hospital issued birth certificate would work. They accepted as a temporary document. I ordered a state issued birth certificate. Got it, left it in the envelope that it was delivered in. A couple of years later I ran across the envelope which looked identical to an envelop that I received a queen bee in. Without looking inside the envelop, I tossed it (along with 2 copies of the birth certificate). The next time my license came due, I couldn't find the birth certificates. I ordered replacements. They were due to arrive within a couple of days of the license expiration. They got delayed. They would not accept the hospital issued birth certificate again. They issued me a temporary license and I had to have the new one expedited (ouch) and take it in as soon as it arrived.

If they had told me the first time that I could have taken the state issued one in after the fact, I would have had it filed and taken care of before I threw them away.

I don't have the heart or the cojones to process my own birds. Maybe one of these days ...

many of us still “rely” on our helpers to do the deed whether or not we could do it ourselves........and then processing it basically a piece of cake ........but i’m still only a “helper” even then!! mr muddy does 98% of the work.....i just pick out the ones on the “chopping block” (choice by gender and color) and assist with everything else.......

I can't actually kill mine but I have no problem processing them.
The first few times I would hold my breath for whatever reason but now I can actually breathe normally while I'm processing them.

Maybe if I had someone else do the dirty deed, I could process them ... but only if I had birds that all looked alike. If I could tell which one I was gutting, I'd be no good. What can I say? When it comes to the critters, I'm a wuss!

I might fall for this but I have been searching the stores for weeks looking for one and everybody is out of stock.

They always take the water toys away after the 4th. No pools here either:

What the heck are y'all talking about? Killing them is the best part.
(again, KIDDING... )

i mostly pick from the “noisemakers” i’m pretty sure i could handle “the deed” and all of processing if I HAD to, but as long as mr muddy is around, i don’t have to!
