Mindless bureaucracy is a perfect name for the mess with the trailers, and I have a feeling that sort of idiocy goes on all over the world.<br /><br />Starting Over- Ah, a comedienne, are ye? Too, too funny. If I weren't so way past ready for lunch, I'd try to come up with a snappy answer for what scent best suits those eagles, but eh, I got nothing. Guess my brain must reside in my belly.<br /><br />Florida- Thanks.

I have a cockerel who definitely thinks he's an eagle - but that may be because Eagle and Mushroom pie, Kentucky Fried Eagle and Eagle Chow mein sound a lot less likely :-)<br />Enjoyed all your other news - I'm just surprised the single trailer item wasn't related to a British official, as we're that good at mindless beurocracy over here !!<br />Thanks for dropping by at mine - and glad to catch up with you again.the writing padhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07221319693189380703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034142332858737641.post-78817672727583185342011-06-04T10:54:49.299-04:002011-06-04T10:54:49.299-04:00Starting Over- Oh, that's too funny!

Are they less because they cannot fly? Are they not as beautiful as other birds? Are their feathers the wrong color? Do they not make the best salad sandwich ever.

Thank you so much for your comments.
Ski...Hi, All. Thank you so much for your comments.<br /><br />Skippy- Oh, no you don't! Don't you dare be falling on my account!! Glad I tickled your funny bone, dear lady. Take care.<br /><br />Starting Over- Remember that song about "whistling a happy tune"? If we pretend we're not afraid, we'll grow to believe it; pretend we're eagles, and make it so. If an eagle can be trained to behave like a chicken, there's no reason we chickens can't learn to soar with the eagles. For me, the heart and soul are always that of an eagle; it's the flesh that leans toward chicken.<br /><br />Linda- Yup, even if we don't fly as high as we'd like, it beats sitting in the dirt, looking up to watch our dreams fly away. Glad you liked the "sturgeon general"; it was just too good to resist.<br /><br />Danielle- Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed it.<br /><br />Anne- HA! Thanks. I'll consider giving that writing thing a whirl. And yes, I am feeling a little better. Thanks for asking. As long as there's ample background noise, I'm getting pretty good at tuning out the tinnitus. And with a diminished awareness of the god-awful screech in my ears, the dizziness is more manageable, too. As long as I don't change positions too quickly. In this bloody heat, no problem there! Take care. I hope you have a super weekend.<br /><br />Cro- Encouraging others is important, but don't just watch! We old-timers can still do our own soaring, even if it's not as high as it used to be.Susan Flett Swiderskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425315552148200073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034142332858737641.post-27751262684499575392011-06-04T00:29:08.824-04:002011-06-04T00:29:08.824-04:00My mind has definitely been improved!
