Deb, I am so sorry you are going thru this, but it sounds to me that if you came to us asking what to do, then deep down inside your heart, you KNOW the answer to that....It's time to take YOUR life back. Let him go, you will be doing him a favor. He needs to stand up on his own two feet and get professional help outside of this dysfunctional life he has built with you. He has you entangled in his drug addiction and made it your problem, but it is not.....move on and focus on YOUR life. As others have said, you deserve better. We are here for you...my thoughts and prayers are coming your way. Erika, You should be proud of yourself for having the courage and strength you did to finally leave your husband. Don't beat yourself up about could have, should have, everything happens for a reason, you may never know why. You tried your best for the sake of your son at the time to make it work. One day, he will understand this and he will be a stronger person for it. An the BEST years of your life are NOW, not when you were living with some drug addict....

Happy Bird day!! Hope you got lots of new toys!

Yes, Kitty has a great idea! You would be shocked if you realy new how many steps you walk in a day. What a great way to exercise without even knowing it. Good work everyone, let' keep going!! Jill, I'm proud of you watching the food you eat. I decide in the am what I will eat for the day and then stick with it. Fill in those hungry bout with nuts as a snack. B)

Kevin, just checking.....all is working now? B)

Okay members....let's get to work. Dust off the treadmill and get on it for 15 minutes, walk at a comfortable pace to start. Eat your carbs, drink water, eat 5-6 times through out the day. I'll be checking this daily.....let's all check in. Even if you don't dust off the treadmill today.....but if your too lazy to dust it, just run on it, the dust will fly off!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

WOW! How cool are these blue amazons? B) :)

How pretty!

Okay, Judy and Bernie......STOP DERAILING THOSE OF US IN THIS GROUP!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: First of all, NO ONE should ever diet....you should only modify your life style into a healthier one, and in doing so, you will lose any excess weight, build your immune system, and feel better and healthier than you could imagine. Encouragement is why we have this group. :cheer:

You need to take your bird to a vet asap!!! Don't wait, there could be an infection.

WOW! I would love to ave one for my birds. IS there a way David would explain what it is made out of....:huh:

Welcome to our family. The forum can be a bit intimidating at first, but after a while, it will seem easy to you. Please feel free to ask if you need any help finding your way around. I look forward to hearing more from you and am anxious to see and hear about your flock at home! B)

Pearl, that is a great bed. Did you make it? Talon would love it!! She has a hut right now, but she' too big for it so she sleeps on the top of it...:blink:

We have a "How much does your grey weigh" thread in the Grey Lounge. Amazons can be so much bigger, I would like to know how much Your Amazon Weighs. Nilah at 8 months weighed 390 grams

Nilah was able to talk when I got her at 6 months old. they are soooo smart!! As for the duet......be careful what you wish for....:laugh:

I err on the side of caution, and am very vigilant about NOT letting my birds have the seeds. It is a personal choice. B)

I LOVE this thread!!! Nilah just turned 9 months yesterday, and she says many things, but my most favorite is, "Want a cup of coffee?" in a Brooklyn, New York accent. I am from New England, not New York, but I taught it to her in a NY accent as I have a dear friend from there and he loves coffee. :laugh:

WOW! How beautiful....

2 of my 3 birds can fly, but they do loves to walk around on the floor and explore as well. B)

How exciting!! Can't wait for pictures!! :woohoo:

Nilah being 9 months old is still young, but she loves to sing thew scales in La la la la la la laaaaaaaaa. WHe I pretend (yes, it's pretty bad) to sing an opera scale, she LOVES it and copies me. :laugh:

I put the tv on....Nick Jr. But twice a week, I put the Bird Sitter dvd in for them. I like them to learn the other bird sounds. B)

Although we all know how dangerous and deadly this could be, not to mention how lethal a cats saliva is to a bird. I thought this was cute and wanted to share it. http://video.yahoo.com/watch/5737286?fr=yvmtf
