[quote]At one stage, I had three Conures on my hand, another parrot on my head (chewing on my hat) and a little honeyeater sitting on my shoulder, pecking at my ear rings. [/quote] Now that's what I call a good day. :D [quote] I really could work with animals for a living. They give me (and Toni) such joy.[/quote] If you ever get the chance, do it. I hear it's a really rewarding job if you're into it. Hopefully I can get a decent position when I get done

I go that route when I'm reading something and there are odd words in there...context clues they call'em in English class.:D For the most part I still prefer to view it like a code...where the Spanish words mean something in English. I've alr

[quote]I challenge you to find a conservative Republican instructor in the LA program.

[quote]This is SUCH a liberal program..I mean its in the LIBERAL ARTS department[/quote] Oh, by the way...when they say liberal it's not in the political sense. 'The term 'liberal arts' is a college or curriculum aimed at imparting general knowledge and developing intellectual capacities, in contrast to a professional, vocational, or technical curriculum.' So a liberal education is basically the freedom to learn about a myriad of things instead of focusing on one speci

Even plants need some of the organic matter from decaying organisms. So I figure might as well have a good steak instead of torturing myself with lettuce and tofu. <p
