Howdy everyone,

How are all of you? I am doing fine, I know I haven't posted a blog in ages, so I thought I would do one to let all of you know I am still alive and kicking about. Not a great deal going on with me, mostly working and going fishing in my spare time at a small lake a friend's father bought a few months ago.

Now on to what most of you really want to know, yes the parrots are doing well too.

I have a Deviant Art account know and have posted most of my pencil drawings there, here is the link if anyone is interested.

Beyond that I have finished reading about 3 different series of books I have been following and done a little of original writing. Nothing I am ready to share yet but I am sure I will at some point.

Okay, that is all I have for now, take care and may you all have a grand day wherever you are.

The parrots pass out oreos and hugs to all who want some.

Howdy everyone,

The main reason I left the site seems to have been resolved in one fashion or another. No, I am not going to explain anything beyond that statement and my previous blog. So, I am coming back to this site to stay in touch with the friends I have made here. Hopefully, I'll do a little more posting in the blogs of those friends. I probably won't do more than a blog a week or every other week though. For all of you who posted in my previous blog, PMed me, or leave a message in this blog, or saw me leave and missed the parrots even if you didn't post anything, thanks for reading my blogs and following the parrots. Hopefully, all of our old friendships can pick up where they left off. Take care everyone and see you all around.

The parrots give everyone a big welcome back group hug and share their oreos with them.

Howdy out there,

I am not going to get into reasons, but other than checking PMs I have basicly already left this site and moved on to other things. This will be the last blog I do. I just wanted to say "bye" and "thanks" to everyone I have had the pleasure of meeting here and becoming friends with in the time I have been around. If anyone would like to have my email address to stay in contact with me please PM and I'll give it you. Hope all of you out there have enjoyed the Parrots being around as much as I have enjoyed using them. Take care everyone and truly enjoy your lives.

The parrots take a final bow and give everyone here at tv.com one final giantic group hug.

Hi there,

Not much going on with me at the moment, this has been pretty much a middle of the road week with nothing really bad happening nor anything particularly great happening. I did have a friend who turned the Big 3-0 this week but they didn't really want any celebration. At work we posted some really good times this week and I believe if today went well at all it will be the best week we had on delievery times since the new system into place last August. I was off today so won't know until I get to work tomorrow. Like I said, not much really going on, I am posting a link that I stole from spacedkane's blog, it was a fun little quiz not sure how well what I got fits me but the heck, it did help pass the time a bit.

What type of Fae are you?

Anyway, you all take care and don't forget your mothers this weekend.

All the parrots have their mothers taken care of for Mother's day.

...around is here known as the Kentucky Derby.

Living in Lousiville can't escape this event each year. Especially working at the hospital nearest the track. If anyone at the track gets hurt or too drunk you can be pretty sure they will end up at our hospital. To show you how big the event is here, the lowest number of patients we have in the hospital each year is the first Saturday in May, not Christmas, not Thanksgiving, or any other special day you can think of but the day of the Kentucky Derby. I heard the word "Boring" today at work this morning and that isn't a word I normally hear around there.

Congrats to Big Brown for winning the Derby this year that horse looked very strong winning the race from the most outside post position in the field. My heart goes out to Eight Belles and her owners as the filly had to be put to sleep after breaking both front legs at the end of the race where she finished only second to Big Brown.

That's all I have for now, wish you all a good evening.

The parrots bow their heads in respect to the fallen member of the animal kingdom and may Eight Belles rest in peace under the Kentucky Bluegrass.
