the pressure to keep those eggs intact and the mama bird happy! Do a good job or I’ll find you and hurt you. I’m so annoyed because I can’t touch it. My dad just called it a bird condo which just about took me over the edge. I don’t even like animals!!!!!!!!!!!! ahh I found one by our back door. Found out when I opened the door and mom bird aggressively flew toward me. Have not been out the back door since. I hate birds.

Last month a hummingbird built a nest right outside our kitchen window, near the feeder naturally (smart mama bird). One morning last week we noticed she wasn't around for a longer period than usual. Her baby hatched but didn't make it. 😭 <iframe width="23.920000000000073" height="3.280000000000001" style="position: absolute; width: 23.920000000000073px; height: 3.280000000000001px; z-index: -9999; border-style: none;left: 15px; top: -5px;" id="MoatPxIOPT0_52610385" scrolling="no"></iframe> <iframe width="23.920000000000073" height="3.280000000000001" style="position: absolute; width: 23.92px; height: 3.28px; z-index: -9999; border-style: none; left: 1136px; top: -5px;" id="MoatPxIOPT0_22525944" scrolling="no"></iframe> <iframe width="23.920000000000073" height="3.280000000000001" style="position: absolute; width: 23.92px; height: 3.28px; z-index: -9999; border-style: none; left: 15px; top: 104px;" id="MoatPxIOPT0_82478515" scrolling="no"></iframe> <iframe width="23.920000000000073" height="3.280000000000001" style="position: absolute; width: 23.92px; height: 3.28px; z-index: -9999; border-style: none; left: 1136px; top: 104px;" id="MoatPxIOPT0_76776001" scrolling="no"></iframe> Oh my heart! A few years ago we spent a whole Sunday watching a robin build a nest in a small tree in our backyard. She laid eggs and I was so excited to watch them hatch but she ditched the nest so I'm guessing all the eggs were dunces- or something happened to the mama

I used to volunteer at a wildlife rehab center and we had a spot in the yard where we would put the fledglings out during the day. I always felt like this when I went out to feed them

I feel sick that we spent all that money and it's not fixed. i’m sorry. Car issues like that are so maddening. They make me feel the worst bc I feel out of control bc I don’t know enough to fix it and then someone takes advantage (or does a shitty first job) and it costs you money and doesn’t fix anything. Exactly. So I did a little googling and we are not being taken for a ride thankfully. Basically the whole cooling system needs to be replaced. Some of the parts are expensive but the labor involved is what makes it a ridiculous amount of money. I want to barf.

Some of the parts are expensive but the labor involved is what makes it a ridiculous amount of money. I want to barf. Can you get more estimates? definitely call around. Had to get full ac system for my son's Mitsubishi lancer (2002) beater car we only paid $500 for the car. First quote was $2500, several other quotes 1750 1500. Small business Mexican tire store quoted $750. We had used them for work on our old beater truck, so we decided to go with them. SAME exact parts as the other guys quoted, but 750 for the ac and while they were in there they changed some extra old hoses/belts for $90 more.

Someone on my local NextDoor is looking for help altering her dog’s jammies because they don’t fit quite right. I’m being totally serious. I cant. 😂

sweptaway hummingbird babies apparently only have about a 40% survival rate, so I guess it isn't all that surprising. Even so, I still get teary when I look out the window and see the empty nest. 💔

@riley614, we could and should. I'm picking it up tomorrow. I don't think the dealer is lying or anything.

Because I am drunk. brux , Cher , and potato somebody. I’m kind of offended that I didn’t get an invite to a Chicago g2g. I’m only a couple of hours from there. I probably sound like the biggest creeper now. 💁♀️ I'm sorry you felt left out but I don't think this trip qualifies as a get together. It was just the three of them and they had vacationed together before in the past. There are lots of Chicago people who had nothing to do with their recent trip

I'm watching the MTV Challenge and drinking vodka over ice with lemon. I am getting the Mirena next week and I'm nervous. I've never had an IUD. I tried to convince H to get a vasectomy but no dice. Seems a little selfish on his part considering what I put my vagina through. 🤷🏻♀️ I will probably start a thread next week asking for what to expect. I can't find the search function on Tapa. I had never had an IUD and it was seriously no big deal. I took an Advil beforehand per recommendations here and it was like 3 minutes and done. I had some cramping on and off for a bit but not bad.

I have a pound of hamburger to make food. I can't think of a damned thing I want to make with it. But it's been thawed and needs to be used tonight.
Any ideas?

Pizzaslut the insertion was nbd for me. I had a Paraguard a couple years ago. I don't even think I had any cramping after. I'm getting a Liletta in the morning and plan to take some motrin before. Hopefully it goes as well as the last time.

I have a cat and a sick kid on top of me. More importantly, HOW THE FUCK IS TODAY NOT FRIDAY? It took me until 6pm yesterday to realize it was Wednesday, not Thursday. Really ruined my night.

I casually suggested that H should go to DG and get some oreos. He ignored me.
Rude.

I probably sound like the biggest creeper now. 💁♀️ Girl. I’m a few in so deal with me. If it was a g2g, you would absolutely get the invite. So would all my other Chicago-brethren. In fact, a few Chicago people (including some from this board) messaged me to see if I was in Chicago and having fun. But we didn’t meet up with anyone. Don’t feel bad. We literally drank frozen Rosé and did minimal interaction with our kids all weekend. Next time fo sho.
