Dead birds, dead fish

      Does anyone else think all this is kinda creepy?  I mean, really, dead fish and dead birds popping up all over the place!  And all at the same time!

       

      I think it's weird.  A lot of the explanations I've seen say it's due to fireworks, but hey, don't we have New Year's Eve every year, and at the same time?  And I would think the year 2000 would've been much noisier, and I sure don't remember mass bird killings then…

          Yes, it does seem suspect. And I've never been a big believer in coincidence, so I can't help but wonder what's going on.

              Ever hear the expression 11 million dead fish in the bush is worth a bird in the hand?

              That is the answer.

                  No, John. Everyone knows the answer is 42.

                  Now put your bird down.

                              Chemtrails, and world domination, and things that go bump in the night.  from 'jackadaws, to redwing blackbirds, and they said sardines???? not to mention no bad evil fish, or geez I wonder if it is bird flu birds, and fish flu fish, and acid rain, and the infamous illuminati!

                              But it is so very strange for sure….. I would def be freaked out if it rained dead anything.  I am even suspicous of masses of midges swarming up and down quite hypnotizing.  But I do not for one minute believe about the fireworks.  Does it EVER happen on either July 1st (Canada Day) or July 4th (Independence Day?) and that is just tooo far fetched even for me! fireworks indeed, nor even a high wind.  roosting birds don't just up and die. and land metres away on roofs, and roads, and sidewalks and only in one small town.

                              nor do fishys just fling themselves up in the middle of winter when no suspected alge attacks them.

                                  Bonnie, my favorite explanation from TV news: "The birds died from injury and had evidence of blunt force trauma"  Delicate creatures fall to the ground from 1000 feet in the air in a matter of seconds- yeah, I can see them being a little bunged up . Can they really find  the cause of death from the crash damage with only a matter of seconds difference ? Maybe they can,  I don't know much, but I know what sounds funny to me 🙂 Now, if they mentioned evidence of powder residue, singed wings, slashes or pellet-type damage …

                                    HMMM I watch ENUFF CSI   BLUNT FORCE TRAUMA  now lets see.   A birdie serial killer, running amuck with a wooden handle of a old fashioned scatter gun from the hills of grampa McCoy time.  He 'neaks' up into the trees wacks the wee birdies about their dear little heads,  then he lights them afire with a handy dandy ronco matchless light stick, just enuff to singe their wings, and whips out the pocket fisherman, to cast them to the ground in gay abandon with the odd one getting stuck on the evil neighbours roof shingles.   Yep sounds like a deed indeed.

                                    Now we need the men in black to come instead of the men wearing white bag suits breathing canned air, like their was avian flu or anthrax or gasp HINI flu floating about the poor wee dead birdies bodies. with their singed red wings and slashed blackened bodies.

                                    Now to the fishies of the deep.  A herd of piranna invaded the waters, with dull teeth and scared all the sardines, who no doubt tried to escape their doom from the canning factory where a whole passel of sardine canners stood waiting with spring water and tabasco stood ready with fillet knives in hand.

                                    I bet it will still be a mystery.  Up here, way way over in BC  some dolt decided to pour some irredescent neon glow in the dark colouring used to track disease in the human body, into a lovely river, and see perhaps if the migrating salmon could be come a alien coloured green.  same time a fountain in Victoria spouted a most becomiing shade of green.  All for the sake of what?  at least they did not say  it was due to fireworks.  But perhaps they could say  it was a mad water colour person using a new type of   SCREAMIN' GREENIE firecracker.

                                    Poor birdies.  Even if they poop, they did not deserve this fate, being bagged up and opened enmasse birdautopsy.

                                                          Let those numbers sink in, you delusional "intelligent design" idiots.

                                                          On average there are 158,857 human deaths, worldwide, per day. Can you imagine what the birds must be thinking???

                                                                          I will theme it out for my two kids birthday.  If one wants take out chinese, I will decorate in red and gold.  but that is as far as it goes.  I gave up trying to please everyone, when it got out of hand, and I am thankful there is only the four of us and my old mom who is thrilled with anything that is shiny and all about herself.  For me, I delegated it to what ever they family can remember, and it is fun to see what rubbed off in what they grew up with.

                                                                          of course I am ages older than you, and it took along time for me to learn to please myself first and foremost, and just make my guests comfortable.  comfortable being the key word.  be it slippers, (me)  instead of fancy clothes.  and not to fuss over red wine or white, Getting sick did not help as I kept to myself, and ended up just being so tired I could not enjoy it.  My family knew, but were sworn to secrecy.

                                                                          Blessed though I am, with a great guy, and two great kids, who are adults, and march to their own drummer for some of their things, and march to what drummer they learned from as children.  they maintained their manners, their good habits, and thoughfulness, and both will make lovely husband and wife one day.  YEP  so   lose water weight, learned long ago, not to worry if people look at me funny, and wonder why I look like a weeble toy, or a roly poly knock em sockem pear shaped Bonnie Lea.

                                                                              But what about the roosting birdies?  did they fall from the sky, and land on twigs attached to trees with their little toenails all curled nicely like that scene from the wizard of oz when the ruby slippers were removed from the evil ones feets? and her toes curled up and wizened away?  no I doubt that. 

                                                                              So we move on to the fishes of the seas.  acid rain, only falls in certain rivers, and streams and various ocean parts.  and crabs that up and died, only came from the UK  what of American or Canadian Or Malaysian crabs, or hermit crabs for that matter?    Oh so many unanswered questions.

                                                                              either which way, it is still happening, and I hope that no more birdies, crabs, fishes of the deeps, even the white nose fungus infection that is attacking our bats, seems to be atmospheric related.  no bats?  means untamed mosquitoes, and hungry birds, and poor crabs not getting healthy algae and without that, fishes   oh what a place.  They better soon find out.

                                                                              Used to be do not eat the yellow snow,  now me thinks we cannot eat any snow, or let any rain drops enter our nostrils or open mouths or big skin pores, and make sure our kitties have dry feets.

                                                                              sigh…..

                                                                                perhaps you can enlighten me?  I just realized about crabs.  Last night on the radio, it spoke (yes my radio does speak) about mayhap it is a huge atmospheric hydrogen (peroxide, dioxide, monoxide) I forget but it is what makes acid rain, and is caused from US blowing so many A bombs (not F bombs) what ever that may be) up into the atmosphere since the early 50's  (some prophetic doom and gloom prediction)  now…..  apparently what with the earths magnetic poles getting all out of whack…the birdies, are getting very confused.  They are flying way too high, getting zapped with this, and heading in all wrong directions and falling to the earth in heaps.

                                                                                But what about the roosting birdies?  did they fall from the sky, and land on twigs attached to trees with their little toenails all curled nicely like that scene from the wizard of oz when the ruby slippers were removed from the evil ones feets? and her toes curled up and wizened away?  no I doubt that. 

                                                                                So we move on to the fishes of the seas.  acid rain, only falls in certain rivers, and streams and various ocean parts.  and crabs that up and died, only came from the UK  what of American or Canadian Or Malaysian crabs, or hermit crabs for that matter?    Oh so many unanswered questions.

                                                                                either which way, it is still happening, and I hope that no more birdies, crabs, fishes of the deeps, even the white nose fungus infection that is attacking our bats, seems to be atmospheric related.  no bats?  means untamed mosquitoes, and hungry birds, and poor crabs not getting healthy algae and without that, fishes   oh what a place.  They better soon find out.

                                                                                Used to be do not eat the yellow snow,  now me thinks we cannot eat any snow, or let any rain drops enter our nostrils or open mouths or big skin pores, and make sure our kitties have dry feets.

                                                                                sigh…..

                                                                                                    I will theme it out for my two kids birthday.  If one wants take out chinese, I will decorate in red and gold.  but that is as far as it goes.  I gave up trying to please everyone, when it got out of hand, and I am thankful there is only the four of us and my old mom who is thrilled with anything that is shiny and all about herself.  For me, I delegated it to what ever they family can remember, and it is fun to see what rubbed off in what they grew up with.

                                                                                                    of course I am ages older than you, and it took along time for me to learn to please myself first and foremost, and just make my guests comfortable.  comfortable being the key word.  be it slippers, (me)  instead of fancy clothes.  and not to fuss over red wine or white, Getting sick did not help as I kept to myself, and ended up just being so tired I could not enjoy it.  My family knew, but were sworn to secrecy.

                                                                                                    Blessed though I am, with a great guy, and two great kids, who are adults, and march to their own drummer for some of their things, and march to what drummer they learned from as children.  they maintained their manners, their good habits, and thoughfulness, and both will make lovely husband and wife one day.  YEP  so   lose water weight, learned long ago, not to worry if people look at me funny, and wonder why I look like a weeble toy, or a roly poly knock em sockem pear shaped Bonnie Lea.

To be less anxious and to exercise with my daughter. And a big one that will be a struggle..to be happy with less. Not  money or things…but effort. If I don't  do everything – 1000 decorations, 20 desserts, say yes to everything and everyone and all  obligations perfectly executed -I am not happy and can't enjoy myself 🙁  I"m getting too old to get everything perfect and have the time to enjoy even a little bit of effort- (but it's not working out so well, so far).

                                                                                                      Oh, what the hey…Happy New Year!…..
