Saz,
Thank you for your wishes of wellness for me! I took a hot shower and rubbed on some Vick's...felt great until about ten seconds ago LOL....the air is on in here and I'll need to go turn the thermostat up if I don't want to get sicker.
About Monette (fantastic name!) and the Myna bird...LOL Aw! Poor Birdy! Talking birds are too funny sometimes. I used to work on a ranch in AZ and the lady there seemed to me to be quite together until one day I was feeding the parrots and the macaw (sp?) started crying "ROY!!!" (her husband's name) "ROYYYYY" "Come Back ROY!!!!!" "WWWWAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!" "RRRRROOOOOOOOYYYYYY!!!!!!" You KNOW the bird had to hear it more than once to learn it! Man I was so embarrased for her! Didn't suprise me when Roy did not come back one day LOL!
