The skies were dark this week as I received entry after entry of horrible words that unfortunately were so great it about killed me. I painfully agonized, debated various attributes and tried to keep my own prejudices against certain words out of it. It was a rough week. I looked at the words, thought about [...]

Over the years, I have tried different types of bird supplements for my birds. I think it’s smart to add a vitamin supplement to a bird’s diet. Even though my Greys have a very nutritious daily menu, I still sprinkle their food with a vitamin supplement a couple of times a week. I do it [...]

Posted in Contests, essays and articles, Writing, tagged Bird Blogs, Parrot Nation, Patricia Sund, words I hate, Worst word contest on July 16, 2011 | 98 Comments »
Original post titled, “Rant” is right HERE. I mean, really. “Musings” Blech! I guess some people don’t think. Instead, they “muse.” “Stylings” This just pisses me off. It reminds me of someone trying to come up with a description of a Sarah Palin speech. She doesn’t have opinions; she has stylings. “Interlude” This reminds me [...]

Well, you’re here. If you were in my actual home, you’d grab a Grey, a beer and put up your feet. But while you’re digitally here, let’s take a moment to see where you are. Of course you know I’m a writer. But did you know I also happen to have an issue with helpful [...]

ORIGIN mid 17th cent.: from Italian, from manifestare, from Latin, ‘make public,’ from manifestus ‘obvious.’ It just [...]

I wish I could write something different. I would love to write the fairy tale, where everything is wonderful and nothing is wrong and it all worked out in the end. But I can’t. Mattie passed away very early Tuesday morning, June 29th at about 5:30 a.m. She died quietly in her sleep at Dr. [...]
