I like on the news stories about avian flu when they show those rooms full of turkeys. They all gobble and shiver in unison.

I'm pretty sure the world is coming to an end. For real this time. The earthquake in Pakistan, mudslides in Guatemala, hurricanes in the US, and increasingly viscious strains of avian flu that keep defying medicine.

Or is the news just scary?

No killer bees yet. And it seems they got that ebola thing under control....

I'm pretty sure it is. It's like waiting for the other foot to fall. Drinks, anyone? Smile

You meant I spent all that time, money and effort getting sober, and now the world is coming to an end ?

If it's coming to an end, I'll be the first to buy you a drink.

I believe it also applies to bird snot so be careful when you blow their noses. Wear gloves!

Shall I warm the brandy?

I'll have a Maker's Manhattan up. And a small bowl of pickled onions.

I'll have a cranberry martini, extra cranberries, and a bowl of cheezie puffs. And gloves for my chicken.

Are chicken nose gloves available in Turkey? I haven't been able to find them anywhere. Plus my poor little example's been under the weather the last few days...
