YAY! Noobies! Wait, if I have been on for less than a year does that mean I am still officially an noobie too?
Now if I could just find a way to wear live bees as jewelry all the time.....

No. You've posted more in a year than I have in almost 5. I think you've figured out the "submit" button. :P

My best friend Julie has two African Grey parrots. One is named Wendell and the other is Poe. I lived with them for five years. What a trip. Now I live with an elderly cockatiel named Bird. :P

My friend has a grey parot like that. Little bugger damn near bit my pinkie off. I could never get close to those things after that.

Well it's nice to see that there are other folks out there that have the same affliction as I do when it comes to Parrots, lol.
They truly are little people in feather suits.
Mine are around 14-15 years old and have the intelligence level of a five year old child, the emotional stability of a two year old and the capability of cognitive speech.
There are day's I am humbled by them and then there are days I would be the first in line to throttle them, lol.
Being a "Parront" is very much so a labor of love.
Didn't mean this to turn in to Parrot 101, but I do tend to go off on a tangent when that topic pops ups.
Hope that I am able to contribute even if it's just a tad to the "group."

I like to talk about Julie's birds. It's interesting, they have specific noises that they identify with different people and they also take on the voices of different people. When I first moved in, Wendell developed a fascination with me and would therefore imitate me most often. It's very funny to hear my voice from the other room saying, "Hey, knock it off!" :P :P

Wow ,Graehstone! Good to have another TC fan bird dude around.
I was starting to feel cramped by the chihuahua fanatics. :biggrin:
All girls? Are you crazy? How do you cope with the hissing and biting?

Not sure about the hissing, but the best part of being surrounded by women is the biting!

Newbie here

Post by LowlyPeasantKevin »

Hi everyone,

Though I've just joined Kevin's watch, I've been lurking here on and off for a few years now. I'm from the state of Kansas. I've read almost all of SRD's work by now. I first read TCOTC back in junior high. When I revisited the books shortly after graduating from college, I discovered so many more layers to the books than I had noticed the first time around. There's something about SRD's characters' defiant struggle for hope and redemption even while (seemingly) in the midst of hopelessness that somehow appeals to me. I sometimes like to think of the Chronicles as a cross between Lord of the Rings and Crime and Punishment.

I finished his mysteries about a week ago. I enjoyed each book in the series more than the last. I recently found a copy of TMWTTGA when I was visiting Portland, Oregon and visited Powell's Books while there. (Has anybody ever been there before? Amazing. The largest bookstore I've ever seen in my life.)

I can't wait for FR to come out!
