I agree except for Nancy and Frank. I don’t believe Nancy actually prefers Bernice to her own daughter; just because she often sides with her doesn’t mean she loves Luann less. I believe they are fine parents. Agree with the others tho and that this does seem to be a recurring theme.
Seems to me that it’s Bernice, Luann and Tara who have the issues, and Piro is the sane one. Anyone would be unhappy in his circumstances. He doesn’t need cheering up, he needs solutions to his problems. As his cousin, Tara should volunteer to help with those kids or find other of their relatives who can. And there must be other ways some of this burden can be taken from his shoulders.
I heard about that owl, so sad. Yes your city is teeming with birds. You can get a decent pair of Vortex binoculars for around $200. What you describe is how all birders start out. One minute you’re snapping birds with your iphone in your local park. Next thing you’ve retired early and have either spent your life savings on expensive camera gear, or now spend your days competing in the sport of listing bird species that you see.
I can relate to this as there is actually no length that truly obsessed birders such as myself will go. Coincidentally I am about to embark on a self-guided birding trip to Thailand, and a concern I have about my first stop is the area is known to have packs of wild dogs! There I’ll be climbing 500 steps on a mountainside up to a temple which is a birding hotspot. People who think that birders are a bunch of grannies sitting around watching birds at our feeders, are about 99% mistaken.
What is with all these piercings? Especially the nose one, why would anyone want to do that? Grosses me out to see people with those. How do they even blow their nose?
CFL bulbs contain mercury. If you drop one and it breaks, get everyone including pets outside for at least a half hour. And they shouldn’t be disposed of in landfills (please don’t) or mercury will end up in groundwater. I’ll stick with good-ol incandescent please (except my plants get LED :)
