But the ides of March portend the ides of April.

Chameleon eggs are about the size of your little fingernail, with a hard shell.

Ooookay.

Do they go well with bacon bits?

[ColdOne]

Sad day, my dog Tasha died this morning.

[Tax-chick]

Oh, I’m so sorry.

Turns out all of Elen’s crud is poison ivy. The first couple of lesions were disguising themselves as a bacterial infection. The doctor said she wouldn’t give her steroids because, if she won’t take any precautions, like wearing long sleeves and not crawling in the undergrowth, she’ll probably need them later in the year when her eyes are swollen shut and she has oozing plaques in her ears.

Anoreth, iirc, finally decided multiple cases of poison ivy were bad enough to be more careful.

[Monkey Face]

I’m so sorry, CO. How old was she?

[Monkey Face]

There’s a song about Poison Ivy, isn’t there?

[ColdOne]

She was 11

[Monkey Face]

Poor ol’ doll. You did what you could to make her last days pain free and loving, and I’m sure she wouldn’t have left you if she’d had a choice.

[fanfan]

That’s wonderful news Sion!

Has your friend heard from her son yet?

[fanfan]

Hmmm.

Does that happen to him often?

[null and void]

Oh no!

[ColdOne]

;)

[null and void]

Often enough.

[fanfan]

My condolences, Cold One. * HUG*

How long had you been together?

[ColdOne]

6 years

[fanfan]

You must be heart broken.

I’m so sorry.

You can talk about her if you want to. We’re here when you’re ready.

[fanfan]

Does he tell you before it happens?

[fanfan]

I cooked a dozen cockatiel eggs once, and found they went best with freshly fried bacon. Bacon bits are better with powdered eggs.

[Tax-chick]

That sounds horrible.

We’ll make Stinging Nettle Soup all spring before we try eating chameleon eggs. I like reptiles, but eating any of their products is *way* down the list. At least cockatiels are birds, like chickens.
