My pet theory has been preempted by my landlord's pet theory. His pet theory is that pets are destructive and his renters shouldn't have any. I don't think I want to test him on this...  BTW, this is my one reply.

I have a bunch of wild pets eating me out of house and home.
With the cold and the snow, the pets at the bird feeders,
including rabbits and squirrels are amassing in greater
numbers than usual. Only a few minutes ago I noticed the
wild turkeys are back: eight of them. I would not mind
them so much, but they leave a slick behind them worse
than the ice. Definitely not pet material.

I gag at the thought of de-feathering them, whatever
that may be called.

plucking...my neighbour goes beating every weekend and gets a free shoot every so often - he is a brilliant shot and they have a freezer full of pheasants and has some hanging up outside (which is like a giant freezer at the moment!) every so often they have a pheasant party and everyone on our lane goes over to eat up a load of their pheasants...

Yes, giant freezer outside.
That is the only benefit of the weather. Something usually
bursts or explodes or leaks in my chest freezer, and during
this season I can take the food out, defrost and clean
the freezer, and replace the food.
Turkey plucking would not be my thing. Guess I'd not make
much of a pioneer.....living off the land.

On one side of my rock it says: "Quick, Turn Me Over!"
and on the other: "Whew! Thanks, I needed that."

I've not seen inception yet.
But I know in rehab the 'chips" (coin-like)we give out
for 30 days, 2 months,etc. are carried like "talismans".
Native Americans had their "medicine bags".

Positive reinforcement. A person is given one for 24 hours sober/clean, then a month, 2 months, 3 months. Then 1,2,3,etc. years. When given they are usually passed around to everyone in the room, and these put their karma, luck, prayers,etc. on it for the person, who then may carry it in pocket, wallet etc. as inspiration to keep sobriety. The ones in this site are for Alcoholics Anonymous, but most of the 12 Step programs have them: Gamblers Anon, Overeaters A., Computers Anon., Online Gamers Anon., Shopaholics Anon., Narcotics A., Cocaine A., etc. http://www.aarecoverycoinsstore.com/

Do the pieces all go in the same direction? Or do you have
to turn them around clockwise/counterclockwise to make
them fit?

Two concepts fit addiction: "pre-occupation", and "compulsion".
If, eg., an alcoholic cannot wait for the 5 pm closing
bell so as to have a drink, that is pre-occupation.
"I'll just have one more" is compulsion. Both can equal
addiction.

I have one that says: "Please, turn me over".
on the opposite side it says: "Ah, that's so much better".

A "soul mate"? Yes, Peter, what about it. (Still influenced
by London yesterday.)

Yours appears to be a double or two of them.
I have one as well. I keep it on a knick-knack shelf.
Nice pictures, Bran.

Yeh, double. I like repetitions. (it just came out this way) I like the double, because I can defocus my eyes and it becomes 3D!

Ah yes, double picture.
But I think there is double trilobite there as well.

I have a stone with a fossiled trilobite ... How wonderful it must feel to hold something so ancient in your own hands, Bran. A link with the past.

I always wanted a pet trilobyte, but I guess I'm late again. Also are their young called trilobits?

a pet trilobyte.... -:^) You could always take a wood louse or five as pets as they are the surviving family, but it will be hard to distinguish Eleanor from Gertrud Johnny Roderick and Daisy. @Candy Yes, but I cannot grasp the past of 400,000,000 million years. Cannot imagine the time stretch. I marvel at the beautiful thing.
