Taking Down The Bird Feeder. Leave It To Maxine.

Just have to luv Maxine.

Taking down the bird feeder.

This is the best analogy yet!

Leave it to Maxine to come up with a solution For the mess that America is now in economically.

I bought a bird feeder. I hung It on my back porch and filled It with seed. What a beauty of a bird feeder it was, as I filled it, lovingly with seed. Within a week we had hundreds of birds taking advantage of the continuous flow of free and easily accessible food.

But then the birds started building nests in the boards of the patio, above the table, and next to the barbecue.

Then came the poop. It was everywhere: on the patio tile, the chairs, the table…. Everywhere!

Then some of the birds turned mean. They would dive bomb me and try to peck me even though I had fed them out of my own pocket.

And other birds were boisterous and loud. They sat on the feeder and squawked and screamed at all hours of the day and night and demanded that I fill it when it got low on food.

After a while, I couldn’t even sit on my own back porch anymore. So I took down the bird feeder and in three days the birds were gone. I cleaned up their mess and took down the many nests they had built all over the patio.

Soon, the back yard was like it used to be ….. Quiet, serene…. And no one demanding their rights to a free meal.

Now let’s see. Our government gives out free food, subsidized housing, free medical care and free education, and allows anyone born here to be an automatic citizen.

Then the illegals came by the tens of thousands. Suddenly our taxes went up to pay for free services; small apartments are housing 5 families; you have to wait 6 hours to be seen by an emergency room doctor; your child’s second grade class is behind other schools because over half the class doesn’t speak English.

Corn flakes now come in a bilingual box; I have to ‘press one ‘ to hear my bank talk to me in English, and people waving flags other than ‘Old Glory’ are squawking and screaming in the streets, demanding more rights and free liberties.

Just my opinion, but maybe it’s time for the government to take down the bird feeder.

If you agree, pass it on; if not, just continue cleaning up the poop.

The Soldier and the Squirrel

Here’s One for Grouchy Fogie

When I received this email from Kelleigh, I immediately thought of frequent commenter, Grouchy Fogie, who sometimes uses a Squirrel photo as his gravatar.

Soldiers in Belarus found a little squirrel and brought it  to the Warrant officer. The squirrel was very weak and about to die, so the officer took care of it, fed like a baby every 4 hours.

3  months ago the guy left the army and now works as a taxi driver – and the squirrel is always in his pocket no matter where he goes!

Yummy

Amazing that the man picked up the squirrel with his hands! That must be his pet squirrel.

Every time I see a squirrel, I can’t help but think: “If it weren’t for that fluffy tail, you’d be a rat.” LOL

Never Ever Mess With Mom

…even if mom is just a tiny squirrel

A baby squirrel is pinned down by a big black Labrador.

But Mom sees it from above!

Mom takes action!!

Dog gets it from Mom and baby gets away.

Mother consoles her precious baby: “It’s alright. Everything is alright. I will always protect you, with my life!”

Look at the dog’s face….

He’s thinking: “What the hell just happened? Did I just get my ass kicked by a squirrel one-tenth my size?”
