I don't know if my dog got to this duck and killed it, found it wounded and killed it or just found it dead, but there was a dead duck on the deck, around the spot she usually leaves her toy. So, I tell my son it's time to man up around the house and to get the snow shovel, get his shoes and coat on and pick up the duck with the shovel and dump it over the fence by the creek where it can decompose naturally. (ewwwwwwww) So he says "I'm going to need money for this" and I agree to pay him $5. He says "If it's still alive, I want $10" and I agree. So, he opens the door to the deck and starts to step outside, then backs up and says "I don't think so". I tell him "Man up! You're almost 14, you can handle this!" (sexist, I know, I know...)

So he goes to do it. As he tries to pick it up with the shovel we realize, it is frozen stuck to the deck. He takes the shovel and rams it under the duck, leaving feathers and blood stuck to the deck, frozen there, but the duck slides. At this point, I am freaking out. There are feathers and duck blood FROZEN TO MY DECK!!!!! He dumps the duck over the fence and comes back with the shovel. I tell him I'm giving him $10 for it because of the frozen to the deck part. We stare at the feathers and blood stuck to the deck, trying to figure out what to do about them. I surely don't want the dog messing with them every time she goes outside. I tell my boy to take the welcome mat and put it over the mess. Next time we have a thaw, I'll deal with it.

My son comes back in and sits on the couch. The dog goes over to him and wants to lick him. EWWWWWWWWW. He freaks, pushes her away.

The dog keeps trying to sniff around that area. EWWWWWWWWWWWW.

So incredibly gross.

You really need to enter this in some contest! There's a feral cat colony in the neighborhood and I saw one of them take down a bird. You wouldn't have believed the number of cats turning down perfectly good cat food (or kat fud) to chow down on that poor bird!

I've heard of cat cookies, but not kitty roca. Ewwwwwwwwwwwwww!

I went to see my family last weekend and before the drive back I was cleaning off the headlights. There was a feather under the headlight and upon further inspection there is a full on dead bird under the headlight. It is a finch/sparrow size but I hit it so hard and so fast it got sucked in between the headlight and bumper. I was in no shape to remove it so I drove 450 miles back with the dead bird, and it is still there. We're going to have to take the headlight housing out, or poke through and hope it drops down.

I'd take it to the Subaru dealer but I'm really too cheap and I feel my fella owes me one from the time he gave me the stomach flu and I ended up in the emergency room misdiagnosed with cholera.

He owes you much, much more than a dead bird!

Ow! Sorry that happened to you. I broke mine when I was 12 - it was the first time I ever dropped an F-bomb in front of my dad. (He let it slide, considering it was obvious I had a broken bone in my foot.)

Elevation and ice will be your friend for a while.

Nice break.
Sorry you're in pain though. Any chance of milking it for all it's worth?

Well, I can't go to work until it's casted on Thursday. My kids are at their dad's house this week, so I'm pretty much on my own. I'll be doing some work from home so I don't have to wipe out my entire vacation/sick bank. I'm really hoping for a walking cast on Thursday. This "no weight bearing at all" thing is tough.

Yiiiiiiikes!

Wow that is awful. You seem to making the best of it though. I've never broken anything, but I had a pretty terrible sprained ankle a few years ago. Took me out for a couple days, then crutches after.

OT school is paying off (I was an Occupational Therapist before I went into IT). I'm adapting fairly well. I've figured out how to fill the dog's water bowl (fill up a 20 oz soft drink bottle with water, seal it, then transport it to the bowl in a grocery bag). I've now got a network of rolling computer chairs set up so I can get through rooms faster with the bad knee on the rolling chair. Much easier than the crutches! I have a tote bag I can sling over my back so I can gather up a bunch of stuff I need and carry it all at once.

I just wish the dog didn't want to go out (and come back in) so often. And, well, I can't wait til the last minute to go to the little girl's room!

I have a nasty ear infection, and there's so much pressure on the right side of my head. I constantly have a high-pitched whiny sound in my ear cause I can hardly hear anything out of it. I went to the doctor today and I have a bubble next to my ear drum! I'm going to an ear-nose-throat guy tomorrow just in case cause it would be bad if it broke or got a crack in it. I'm not sure if there's blood or some other fluid in it, but I think it's attached to my ear drum. The antibiotics are supposed to make it shrink back down.

If you want a gross picture, try Google images for "ear infection." Yuck!!

chickenoodle · #**358** 03-31-2010, 01:00 AM

I wasn't sure if I should put this in the D&R Random thread or here....

Last night I had a ridiculously hot dream. In my dream, I pulled some random dude into the bathroom and we had a serious, hot and heavy make out session. It was pretty vivid and I'm gonna leave it at that. Oh, and the dude looked like one of the guys from that hot Alpha Phi Alpha guys thread.

ETA: You know LuckyKKG, I actually googled "ear infections" and I was disappointed with how few gory pictures there were. It is far more entertaining to google simply "infections.

my muscles are so stiff that it's painful

Well, there was one gnarly one full of earwax and hair. EW!

Omg, definitely not about to google "infections." I don't feel like vomiting, thank you!
