I often visit The Alex Foundation website because if you buy their items for sale, it supports the foundation that is studying African Greys. (see Sammie The Parrot!) I emailed about a necklace they'd had on the site, which sold, so the gal in the lab said she'd have another one made for me. She emailed me a picture of it before I bought it. Now, I should explain that there is a very famous African Grey named Alex. He's been studied for years and can count, identify colors and shapes and they're currently working on teaching him to read. For real! So, if you know anything about African Grey's you know about Alex. So, when she sent me a picture of the necklace, she had Alex pose next to it! How stupid to be enamored of a famous bird...but I am! I saved the picture to my file. Me and Alex, we're really close.

Oh, you should be worried! I think my sexual preferences have changed...not! Sammie is just tooooo funny! She was talking a mile a minute this morning and I think she's saying to my dog, "Go on the pee pad!" I've said that to the dog who refuses to go outside into the cold weather. Or windy, or wet, or snowy...the dog refuses to be house broken! Sammie not only calls my name now...Dianne! but after calling my name, she whistles like she's calling a dog. Is there a message there? When I leave the room, as I have now, she talks up a storm. She's going through her entire vocabulary. I have to laugh. I laugh out loud. She's so entertaining. I think all of you Boomer Women should have an African Grey!

Last night my ex came by to drop off The Magic Bullet he bought for me for Christmas and one for my sons family. Did he ask how I was, NO. Did he ask how my son or his family is, NO. Did he even ask what time to be over here to go there for dinner on Christmas, NO. So what did he ask, you ask! "Say, has Sammie done anything cool lately," he says they were asking him in the lunchroom that day at work. That cracks me up Dianne, how famous your precious bird is way out here. Do I talk about her alot, YES I guess I do. My ex especially still laughs every time he thinks of her walking down the hall saying, "I want (or need) a kiss. The sight you have in your mind thinkng of that is hilarious, this little bird walking down the hall. God, I love her....and you for sharing!!
