Iso, the who? The which?? The what???
I'll have you know, I have never bought 'dots' yet.

~Elana~

[lovezebs]

Come on my friends...... no more guesses???

~Elana~

[isobea]

Your original post ended with "the Magpie Mannikins...." --- so what did the dots stand for?
Iso

BTW, what do we get if we guess correctly?

[lovezebs]

isobea

You get the satisfaction of having guessed right of course.

What's with the interest in the wee dots, Iso? They really mean nothing whatsover. And have nothing to do with what, or rather who came home with me yesterday.

Elana - to me they mean that there were more lovely little birdies than the ones you mentioned. Doesn't dot, dot, dot mean et cetera?
Can't think clearly today - too much sugar these last few days. But with the new year all that will change. I will swear off sweets, candy and chocolate and my brain will be as sharp as when I was in college. Darn, I seem to remember quite a few dinners at Greek restaurants with the 'mandatory' red wine, parties and such. Well, maybe what I remember was when I was 25 to 30 years old. Now I can't even get that right anymore.

So far,
Strawberry (No), Senegal Indigo (No), Lavender (No), Gouldian (No), Goldbreast (No), Cordon Bleu (No), Canary (No), Society (No), Budgie (No), Red Ear (No), Manikin (No).

So, now only Zebra, Orange Cheek, Love Bird, & Parrots are left from your list of birds.

It must be Zebra or Orange Cheek (if not hook bills).

Sam oh Sam, one species on your list above, was not a 'no' if you look back very carefully.

lovezebs: Told ya! Remember Nike said: Just do it. Go for it! Alas! It too late now. So sorry for U

[Sally]

So is it Goldbreasts? Shouldn't have changed my guess to canary!

[lovezebs]

Oh Iso...

There were only the birdies that were on my original list, no more, no less.

Please don't swear off chocolate, what's life without chocolate??? It wouldn't be worth living, girl.

Elana - OK, I'll let you in on a little secret: Trader Joe's (I hope you have those stores in Canada) has these wonderful Pound Plus chocolate bars imported from Belgium and around Christmas time they have a special one called 'Extravaganza' (it has pieces of ginger, cranberries and almonds added in). I already stashed 5 of them in the bottom drawer of the fridge... And no, these dots don't mean that I stashed even more. They just mean that I'm sunk.
