I was at the grocery store, minding my own business...
Had to pick up some of those yummy itsy-bitsy baby
carrots for my sweethearts, you know...

Anyway, standing right next to me was a woman handling
all the broccoli and stuff, and we sorta looked at each
other and she was wearing a M.A.R.E. t-shirt!

EEK!

My brain was tap-dancing, my heart was racing... "If
she went to M.A.R.E.", I said to myself, "She MUST take
good care of her birds."

The little horned devil on my shoulder said, "Ahh... Do
you KNOW that she does? For all you know, she went to
M.A.R.E. to learn more about her birds' cooties!"

I dropped the carrots, left my cart, and went (almost
literally) screaming into the street.

all her garden stuff does OK so she never has to buy
'mystery food' ever again!)

Debbie,

HAHAHA...I am laughing so hard I think I may pee! Maybe she didn't
even go to M.A.R.E., maybe she just bought a shirt! Ya! That's it....now
calm down!

BTW, I am going to call Dr. Ritchie to find out if I am at any risk for
cooties by getting ads in for the local newsletter! The one person's are
so gross I toss them in the outside garbage! I wonder why she hasn't
figured it out yet!


(Debbie had this experience!)

I hope you DID pee! *I* almost did when I saw that shirt!
Even if she DID only buy a SHIRT, chances are that shirt
was handled by someone with BIRD! AAAAAARRRRRGGGHHH!!!!!

Had another scare today: Went to the local hardware store
to get some supplies for the new bluebird box. Cashier
happens to be girl who lives three houses away from me.
As she is picking up and scanning my items, she says:

"Debbie! I have been meaning to call you! I just got a
new BUDGIE at Pet Supplies Plus, and I wanted to see if
you would come over and show me how to clip his wings."

Gee... Lets' see... Now what was the BUDGIE discussion
on rec.pets.birds about BUDGIES??? Was it.... POLYOMA?
AAAAARRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, I was very polite, and said, "How nice for you! Give
me a call." Two options here: Never answer the phone ever
again or show up at her house in one of those contamination
outfits they wear for biohazards.

And, dammit, they live upwind from me.

M.A.R.E. IS THE MIDWEST AVIAN RESEARCH EXPO. IT'S WHERE FAMOUS AND
INFAMOUS PEOPLE GET TOGETHER AND LEARN STUFF. MOSTLY THE BIG VETS GO
THERE AND TALK ABOUT THEIR RESEARCH AND BIG BREEDERS TALK ABOUT BREEDING
TECHNIQUES, ETC. NOT EVERYONE GOES THERE TO FIND OUT ABOUT COOTIES- SOME
GO TO FIND OUT NEW INFORMATION AND SOME GO TO JUST GOSSIP. YOU DONT EVEN
HAVE TO GO THERE TO GET THE INFORMATION, YOU CAN SEND FOR TAPES OF THE
PROCEEDINGS, BUT THEN YOU MISS OUT ON THE GOSSIP !!!!!!

The tapes are fantastic! The company that does the video
work did a project for my business last year, too. Their
toll-free number is 1-800-437-0952 (Triple "L" Productions)
