Post count totals are everything ......... (see, this gives me one more than I just had)

People keep asking me if my guinea birds are turkeys. People know what turkeys look like. People don't know what guinea birds are. This does not mean guinea birds are turkeys.

Saying PLEASE HELP!!!! with a bunch off isn't going to get results. Use your time constructively, post symptoms, include pictures so people can actually see what the picture is supposed to be of, and list current behavior if you want speedy, accurate help.

I would never say this, but I want to.

Yeah, it's always really annoying when people seem to think that turning on all caps helps their bird somehow.

Good grief. So, your hours have been cut and you're going to be loafing around the house doing nothing even more now? Have you considered getting some skills or a career?

If you aren’t working 40 hours a week at your first job, you have time for a second job.

Looking for a job doesn’t mean whining about it on the internet, looking for a job means applying for a bunch of jobs until some one hires you.

I really want to say this to someone. "I will bet you $1000 that you can't make it on your own for one year. That means finding your own place to live. You can have roommates, but they can't be anyone you already know. You have to find the place. You have to get yourself to and from work. Your friends are not allowed to bring you food. Your fiancee may not pick up so much as a single soda can for you. Your parents can't help you get your driver's license. You may not accrue more than $1000 more debt than you have right now. You are responsible for every penny of debt you accrue.

I'd be $1000 richer within 3 months. Maybe less. If, for some reason, he made it of the year, I would consider it $1000 well spent in life lessons.

He would never take that bet, though.

I think the next time someone asks if your guinea birds are turkeys, you should make up some outlandish answer like - No they are the rare and endangered Giant Hiccup Fowl from Paraguay. They have been know to eat flesh of stupid people.

Wow. That says a lot about how we often make new information fit in the model of what we already know (think).

Have you seen the swimming turkey-ducks at the park?

Ducks with wattles are obviously crosses between ducks and turkeys.

The poor muscovies confuse so many people, but if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it must be a duck! Right???

except muscovies don't quack.

Right! Except (I could be wrong) I think I read somewhere that Muscovies can be classified as either a duck or a goose.
