RN, LOL Hukd! Not too sure the neighbors would appreciate that though. They are bird lovers and their birds seem to love my yard. One morning I heard a "yoo hoo" over the fence. Their white dove was in my yard and she wanted me to retrieve it. That's when I had to tell her of my fear, lol. I came in the house and got a pillowcase, threw it over the bird, then was afraid to get any closer. I finally sucked it up, grabbed the bird wrapped in the pillowcase and damn near threw it over the fence at her.

Since then we've had their roosters strutting around the front yard (the kids find that hysterical,) their baby chicks squeezing through the backyard fence (I finally blocked that little hole!,) the chicken walking the fence, and the dove keeps coming back (though it seems to have gotten smarter cuz now it manages to get itself back over the fence.)

RN I'm expecting any day to open up the back door to let the dog out and finding them all lined up waiting for me like that movie Birds!

RN: War, you must live outside the city limits. LOL. I know that in my town, no livestock or poultry inside the city limits unless it's zoned for it.

RN Escapee, I live smack dab in the middle of the city! As far as I know we are not zoned for stuff like that, however, we've had 7 different neighbors in that house in 10 years and these are the best ones we've ever had. I'll put up with the birds any day over the loud music all night every night, the wild parties, and the cops!

RN, I always thought Wardog lived out in the secluded desert. She does live in the desert, but it is not exactly secluded.

RN War, I'd trade your chickens (which I hate) for my rowdy neighbors anyday. I've called the cops on them 7 or 8 times now about the firecrackers going off at all hours of the nights on any given day and nothing stops them. Oh, and their little kids are out there with them at all hours. I hate those people and would much prefer animals. Any kind. LOL

RN I should be sleeping but reading about everyone's Thanksgiving brought up wonderful memories of mom cooking for 3 days and Dad carving the turkey and the whole family sitting down together to eat all of the lovely food. That memory brings tears to my eyes. I miss my parents so much. Even after Dad died and I had moved up here, Mom was still in her right mind for a couple of years and every winter she would go outside and pick a whole bunch of huge navel oranges in her backyard and pack them up and mail them to me so I'd have a little piece of home with me up here. I ate oranges til they were coming out my ears. LOL Oh, I miss that. The ones you buy in the store just aren't as good or sweet because most have been picked too green or they didn't get a frost before picking. That gentle frost is what makes them so sweet and perfect for picking. I sure wish I could get an orange tree to survive up here in the frozen tundra. LOL

Rn Juju that's cuz anytime Lancaster/Palmdale makes the news they show the reporter standing out in the boonies in front of a lone joshua tree with no hint of civilization in sight.

Twinks, I hear you! Most of our neighbors are wonderful but the house next door and the one behind us have provided some pretty interesting people. There were the ones who had drug raids on a monthly basis (usually in the middle of the night and with enough cop cars to light up our entire house.) The ones with the music. Oh and the ones who fought all the time, not with each other, oh no, they'd invite friends over and then brawl in the street with them. The house next door was bought several years ago and in about a year there were probably 6 new families to move in. After the third one, I stopped trying to get to know them cuz no sooner did I learn their names than they were gone.

RN I'm so disappointed. I have to study for a midterm coming up, so I went and got myself a nice venti cinnamon dolce frappuccino for my study session. I left Starbucks, and didn't sip the frap until it was too late, and it was only a coffee frap, no cinnamon flavor. But it was too late to go back. I hate the plain coffee flavor. :-( What a waste of 6 bucks.

RN, Eeyore you could have sent your man guy to get it for you...but then again, he would have drank half of it before he got home. I think you're having bad karma with Starbucks.

RN, I've decided that seeing as I didn't get my "reward" for studying, I don't have to do the studying that earned the reward. LOL

I DID do the dishes though, after Mike cooked and did all the laundry all day. 4 loads!!

Right now, Eeyore, I bet if you called the store and told them what happened, you would get a free one.

Right now .. and Eeyore don't forget to ask for your free itunes song of the day certificate.

Starbucks is giving free itunes with every purchase through the middle of November but you have to ask.

RN Twinkie, I get the largest size, and that's a latte, at Starbucks (probably the most expensive mainstream place out there).

A standard mid-sized cup of brewed coffee there isn't that much. Maybe like 3 bucks?

Technically, I say 6 bucks, but it comes to 5.25, and I leave 75 as a tip.

RN, I can't see myself complaining there, because MOST of the day baristas know me there, and are really nice. It was my stupidity for going in there in the evening. I *might* mention something if one of them starts a conversation next time I go in. Or maybe say something like "Um can you make sure there is cinnamon flavor in it. Last time I came I didn't get flavor added, and didn't realize til I was on the bus already and it was too late to fix it."

Right now, our baristas know us and are really good about our orders. Every once in a while, you get a new one and they aren't always up to par. I love my Starbucks though.
