What bird did this???

Hey Dawnald, thanks for the explanation. I am doing that a lot again lately, only on MyLot. Right after we added new memory it got better for awhile. I would say it was a Hiccup, but that would not be fair to our friend by that name.

Ahh yes, I think that's probably the one. I reckon its a pretty big one.

Maybe it WAS the tie-dye tern ( or just me having a 'strange turn'??)

There are soooo many comments I could make if I were in Mrs Slocombe mode but, this is an entirely different blue and I couldn't bring myself to spend hours poncing about with hairdressers/backcombing and the like every day. Wash it, scrub it with a towel, shake it and leave it. Sadly, I didnt see it but, next time, I'll colour the hair during daylight hours to see if I can entice it into view.

You got the best response on the strict understanding that you retract your suggestion that there is any similarity between myself and Mrs Slocome!! I like "Smurf-licking Noggin warbler" (reminds me of the Sagger-makers Bottom knocker)

speaking of Exotic bird poo, I been meaning to mylot about this as a topic, but just been too busy going to the dentist(AgaIn!). O! this is actually a two-part saga.......here I was trying to get the most amount of hours in working(I work from home)because I had to come up with my share of the rent($400) plus, $600 for my new crown(not the one you wear on your head). So late at night, I wasn't sure if I was having hot flashes or what. It is springtime, and although it is now about 90 degrees daily, this was last week, when the weather outside was actually cool and rainy. It was cooler outside than in our apt. So, we had trouble sleeping that night. I awoke at 6:30 am and decided to bring the a/c down to 50F, because at 60F my personal clock from Brookstone(which features international time, a digi clock and temperature)was showing the true temp to be 76F. Knowing that the temp would soon rise around noon, and the fact that it was raining outside didn't make matters any better. I called the emergency maintenance team and left a message. Although they called me on my cell right at 9:30am when the office opened, the maintenance man did not get to my apt 'till after 2pm(because another "emergency" someone else had happened). I told him that I remembered hearing a loud metal snap outside my bedroom window the day before. He went outside the check the unit. When he came back, this is what he told me: "A lizard fell between the a/c grates and made contact with the conductor heads, and exploded." A LIZARD EXPLODED?! It was a tiny lizard body that just blew up, thus BLOWING up my A/c unit????wtf? So, he assured me that it "happens ALL the time" and "you see exploded snakes in there." I still couldn't believe that a lizard had damaged my a/c unit. But he replaced all the parts immediately(quite quick, actually)and the a/c is frosty cold now. But, the "SAGA" of apartment living continues......I had swept and mopped the tile foyer prior to the maintenance man coming. Shortly after retrieving my mail that day(perhaps several hours later) I arrived back at my front door, to find several large circles in a row of duck poo. I haven't been feeding them(although I have in the past-as soon as they see me leave my door, they fly from across the lake). This was ONE incontinent duck. By the way the duck patties were laid out, the duck musta been pooing while walking. OOO it was soo gross. Well, I sure didn't want anyone to track the stuff into my clean foyer. I took the coffee pot carafe and filled it with hot soapy water and poured it onto the plops. That stuff was soft, but not goin' anywhere, and I don't have a garden hose...Live in an apt. I ended up getting a bucket and some dishwasher gel w/bleach. That seemed to do the trick. The gel was so powerful, it actually bleached the concrete outside.

Yeah, thats my hair. The Wizzywig is just a variant on WYSIWYG & I've never worn a wig. I'm a Clinical Support worker (or "Purple Poo Pixie" or "Chief C*cK and Boll*ck Washer") I think you'd call it nurse's aid. Hard work, poor pay and I vowed I'd only stick with it for 3months....and those 3 months were up about 2 years ago! One of the Ward Managers did say that we were supposed to have 'natural' coloured hair but I said, "Dont try to tell me that all these people are natural streaked blondes!" (Yeah, I could see her roots!) She said that was different but I pointed out that she'd given me the job in the first place & I had cerise and turquoise streaks at the interview. She came back by saying it wasn't a natural colour and how many people did I know who'd been born with purple hair. I just smiled inanely and said "Lots.....in my world" & she gave up. The matron's never challenged me on it. I am just playing about with it now because I've had to take some time off. I'll go back to the cerise and violet next week in preparation for going back to work. It cheers up little old ladies and gents & a young lad visiting his gran came and asked me what I used & where I bought it because he wanted the same colour. They do get sniffy about not wearing jewellery, not too much make-up, wearing black shoes and black socks.

An exploding lizard!! - AND duck poo in one day?? I guess everyone came out of it ok except for the lizard My only memorable experience with a lizard was when my little cousin dropped one in my bed - whilst I was in it. However, I do have experience of cleaning up poo thats been "dribbled", for want of a better word, from one end of the ward bay to the other and along the corridor - its amazing how far that stuff spreads!!

Alas, I may never find out which of them was the culprit on this occasion. I've no immediate plans to lay myself open to it again in the near future.

Sadly, the cerise is faded (because that was last weeks)but the peacock blue, turquoise and violet are still going strong. Hmm, yes, maybe it was the sour gummi bird???
