Another Edition of Chatter With Chloe!

9/16/2014

Oh my goodness, the news these days. I don’t understand how humans get in such messes. Today, I’d like to chatter about 2 controversies of late.

The first is the Adrian Peterson domestic abuse allegations, and why it took the NFL so long to act. Everybody’s talking about domestic violence and treating women right, which I agree with. However, I think we’re narrowing it down too much. Professional athletes get paid obscene amounts of money, and I don’t care how many hits to the head and concussions you’ve had – you know what’s right and what’s wrong. If you’re in a position to be a role model, you shouldn’t act like a jerk in any sense. I agree with mommy – if you’re paid enough money to have two commas or more in your salary, then you should have a code of ethics. Any violation, and it’s bye bye bye. Talent does not preclude common sense. It’s not just domestic violence, either. If you rob the 7-11, you’re out. If you cook crystal meth, you’re out. If you shoot up the mall, you’re out. And if you hurt animals, you’re definitely out. I think the bigger problem is that they get googly eyes over money, big egos over talent, and think the rules don’t apply to them. They won’t learn any better until there are significant and substantial consequences to their actions. I’m not saying no second chances, but I am saying that there needs to be consequences that speak past the rock that they call a brain.

And by the way: fiancé at the time, now wife? What are you thinking, woman? That money and glamorous lifestyle won’t buy your way out of dead! These ladies really need to learn some self respect. I mean, I’m a sweetheart, but Zack stepped on my tail two times, and I had him pinned and understanding what’s what before mommy knew what happened. No more problems. And I sure as heck didn’t say “aw, let’s get married now!” either. He’s my brother anyway, so eww. We each have our own cages and as long as personal space is respected, it's all good.

Next up is the lengthy Facebook post from our former Governor Mark Sanford about his personal struggles with his ex-wife, and how the ol’ meany caused him pain, suffering, hardship, and to call off his wedding with his “Applichian Trail” buddy aka, the Argentinian mistress, who now claims that she didn’t know the wedding was off. All I have to say is that dirty laundry has a place and it’s the Laundromat, not social media. You aren’t embarrassing us as our Governor anymore, and we don’t care. Hell hath no fury like a hen scorned, so you should have seen this train wreck coming when you left the station, sir. Please, I have enough to deal with having a mommy writing a sci-fi trilogy and a daddy doing website design! I don’t post pictures of my down feathers or the bottom of my cage before mommy cleans it, so there. Get the power of PineSol, baby, and let’s keep living the happy life!

Goodness, humans get in messes, and the higher on the social chain they are, the bigger the messes. I think I’ll stick with simple and silly with our parronts. They keep their noses clean (unless it’s allergy season). And, of course, our online pals, which are the best. Did you know you’re the  best? Well, now you do!

That’s it for this edition of Chatter With Chloe. Stay tuned for future episodes whenever the whim strikes!

Take care and have a great week.

Luv,

Chloe


Yin and Yang

4/25/2014

Don’t let anybody tell you that animals don’t have a personality. We certainly do, and Chloe and I are a perfect example of that! It’s often said that when there are 2 siblings, they tend to be opposites, and that’s certainly true with me and Chloe. We are the yin and yang of birdisms, at least in our home. For example, we learned this week that Chloe likes classical music. Daddy put some on, and she was so happy. Then when it was my turn to listen to my rock music, she had a fit. Hey, fair is fair. I let your music put me in snooze mode, so you can boogie to my tunes every now and then. 

That’s not the only way we’re opposites. I can’t stand still, at least not unless I’m asleep. There’s too much going on and too many interesting things happening! There’s food to eat, toys to destroy, humans to climb and ride around the house, TV, movies, music to boogie to, birds outside to watch (and occasionally talk to) – how can Chloe sit so still and act like nothing’s happening? She can do that, too. She’s pretty mellow and can sit so still that you’d think she was a stuffed animal. She does perk up sometimes and play with her toys, or eat, but most of the time, she’s content with quietly riding on mommy’s shoulder or watching us from her favorite pink perch, and chattering to us.

Chatter – boy can she! She and mommy are yak yak yak! Both of them can go on and on. They talk to each other. They really do. Chloe will sit on mommy’s shoulder and chatter and chatter and chatter, and mommy loves it. She’ll chatter back, too, in English. Can you believe that? They chatter and aren’t even speaking the same language. Girls! Who can figure them?

Well, really it does work out to be a nice balance. And what’s more interesting is that we bonded to the parront that’s our own opposite. With the humans in the home, it’s mommy that’s high energy and always on the go, and daddy is the more mellow one, yet I bonded to daddy and Chloe bonded to mommy. I guess that yin and yang works out well, after all. It’s interesting; that’s for sure.

That’s all today. Take care. I hope you have a fantastic Friday and a wonderful weekend.

Luv,

Zack


Chatter with Chloe

3/18/2014

Hi folks, and welcome to this edition of “Chatter with Chloe!” You may think I’m all fluff and stuff, but I’m aware of what’s going on in the world. Here’s my take on some headlines and happenings in the world today:

On the Russia/Crimera issue: So this is how democracy dies – with thunderous applause. I’ve listened to mommy rant over Putin being a communist for years, and I’m inclined to agree with her. Methinks the world’s found its next tyrant. And Russia says they can obliterate us? Yea, let me tell you two things: first, everybody wants to obliterate the U.S. and second, everybody can obliterate everybody else. Yes, the world will die by fire next time – and we’ll probably set it in some pissing match over borders or votes or structures of government! Silly humans …

On the missing plane –It’s weird and I understand why it’s important to find it. But we forget that we know one thing for sure: the plane is down. There’s absolutely no way it’s still in the air somewhere. Maybe the pilots took it down on purpose. Maybe they were taken over by bad guys and landed somewhere not nice. Maybe they crashed. Maybe they flew into a parallel universe and are on another Earth saying “what the hell?!” But I don’t think the report mommy found last night about it safely landing on the moon is right. Um, no. I think we can count alien abduction or interstellar flight out. But hey, maybe I’m wrong. Keep an eye on the International Space Station. Who knows? We might find it orbiting Uranus. J

Ok, sorry. I know it’s a serious situation. It’s just that the whole “it’s on the moon!” thing is so ridiculous that I couldn’t resist. And now, moving on.

On the 2025 mission to Mars.  People are actually signing up for a death sentence, eh? Because Mars is as dead as Adam and Eve, you know. But we want to find out what’s out there, and we’re going eventually, so why not?  Well, I have a theory - why force the applicants for the first death watch mission make the horrible decision to leave behind family, home, and Earth forever? Send the criminals on the mission. I mean, death row inmates die anyway, right, and the people on this mission can never come back because they might get some heebie-geebie alien disease? So pack the criminals up and ship them off. Let that be the repayment of their debt to society. If that works, we may send the politicians next.

On Obamacare. Why isn’t anybody addressing the issue at the source: does medical care really need to cost as much as it does? Why are we justifying inflated prices by forcing insurance? Ask the manufacturers why they need to advertise pills for bipolar depression, herpes, and mating rituals. Ask if it really costs two hundred dollars to mix antihistamines and decongestants (geeze  its sinus pills, not crystal meth!). Ask doctors if it looking at ears, eyes, and throats with a scope really troubles them worth charging $125 for the 5 minutes it took to do it. Everybody else has to justify their profit margin (except the oil industry). Make the medical industry do it too. Seems to me we’re going at this all backwards. Justifying high medical costs with forced insurance is like wiping before you poop. Of course, people keep telling mommy and me that we just don’t get it on this one, so go on squawking.

On the economy. It sucks. Seems Obama’s insidious plot to destroy the middle class is right on target. I remember the guy on the news a few years back that said “I need work instead of welfare because I stay out of trouble when I work.” Yea, so do most people. We need more jobs. We need tax breaks for hard workers. We need to penalize the big $$$ corporations bilking us to line their coffers. We need raises! We need for prices to go down and salaries to go up, because having it the other way around isn’t working. This isn’t King Solomon’s empire, folks, its America.

So see, I’m not just a prissy little lady. I do pay attention to what’s going on. And that, folks, is the way I see it. Stay tuned for more “Chatter with Chloe” later.

That’s all today. Take care, and have a great week!

Luv,

Chloe
