My leukemia's back.

well, grandpa billy decided since he hasn't eaten anything in 5days he was hungry finally... He just ate 3-cookies and drank a lot of water. (he can't handle a bunch of food but a little is a good start.

I've been on pain pills for two decades and haven't become an addict.

I think people have a predisposition (or not) to have addictions rather than "everyone who takes xxx for more than a short time will become addicted". While simplistic and maligned, Nancy Reagan's "just say no" does have some value. Can't really go back and take the other road after you find out you are one of the people who will become addicted.

As they are considered an evasive species?

Maybe they aren't evasive if they are pets, come right up for treats

2005, that must be Katie!! I agree the deck looks like a much better house access point and quite useful for hanging out!

Those hospital drug stories are

My hubby thought someone was stealing tacos from under his bed then he started to sing Michael row the boat ashore which was hilarious I shouldn't be mean but it was funny

Yup I've been there......

And for some reason I keep trying to find my way back there.......

Not that I'm aware of. They're everywhere here, and I've never heard of it being illegal to own them. They can pretty much be found at any body of water, especially during the winter. It's fairly easy to tame them down, and catch them. Abusing them is a major crime, though.

The way I heard that they were illegal to Own was on another duck thread...... Someone in Florida had a Muscovie that was hurt and she wanted to talk it to the vet but was worried because she said they were illegal to Own.
She said they were considered an invasive species basically a pest and that they weren't legal to own......I don't know maybe she doesn't know what she's talking about.....

In the next large city, there is the Suncoast Seabird Sanctuary. They have vets, and other services for all types of birds. You can call them, and they will help you rehab them, or if they can't be returned to the wild, how to keep them. I live in a county that is a bird sanctuary, so we can keep any that are injured, or unable to return to the wild. Since they are a flock animal, one that can't be returned can have buddies. Like I said, as long as they are properly cared for, and not being abused, they don't say anything about them here.

Sour couldn't your traveling buddy have removed the tick himself. Ya get a magnifying mirror and tweezers, forceps whatever and good lighting. Or were his arms too short?It would beat having doctors and nurses laugh and spread the story.

An early Good Morning to Team Rachel

The wind is howling so loud outside it woke the cats up (who woke me up).

Perhaps he enjoyed the attention

Same here @N F C. Blowing like stink all night. Way higher than the forecasted ~15 MPH.

@drumstick diva, deedee, deer ticks don't sit on the surface and bite you like wood/dog ticks. They actually burrow in sometimes with only the tip of their abdomen and hind legs visible. They can be nearly impossible to remove. I had to have the doctor cut one out of my butt that I couldn't get at and the Princess was unable to remove. Right now there is part of one in my abdomen - bit me over a month ago, and I can't get all of it out. I'm afraid it's growing like "Alien" and will soon come bursting out.

That's a scary mental image
