Not cool H, not cool

wow - that would scare me too if dh screamed and just left!! glad to hear the bird took off and didn't damage anything in your place

[allibally]

He didn't want to text or call you either about the bird. Ass.

[MrsAxilla]

That's hilarious.

[blushing]

You need to go and buy your DH a little girls skirt and tiara. He sounds like a girl.

[bail229]

That is pretty funny!

I would have screamed too if there was a bird in the house. I hate birds.

Apparently he wasn't answering the phone because he thought I was calling because I was upset with him for leaving me alone with the bird.

haaahahahaha! Too bad it didn't poop in his shoes or something...

See, If I was upset about the bird (which I would have been), this would have made me even MORE upset.

This is the same man who hid in the bathroom while our friend got a bat out of our room in Africa.

Bats would scare me. Because I have a fear of rabies and it can be passed by their saliva. Plus, when I was a freshman in HS there was a girl my age in the state who got rabies from a bat in the attic of her church.

First person in the US to survive rabies with out the shots. Because of her protocol they used on her I think 4 more have survived since 2004. But they followed her post recovery on the news. The physical challenges she faced were scary!

Birds... my childhood bedroom had a nice entry system for those. I've been very skilled at taking a towel catching them and then releasing outside.

Holy shit, I can't believe he just left.

I wish we could like on here!!

[clickerish]

Woah. You're obviously not scary enough if he was more worried about the bird than your wrath at screaming and disappearing!

[mrsukyankee]

I would buy him the movie "Birds" - have it playing in the background, buy some fake bird turd, and print out about 1000 photos of birds and put it all in the living room for when he gets home from work.

allibally- I googled her story. Holy crap! That is some whole new level of scary. Do you know if she ended up ok? The report was dated Dec '04 so it only says they don't know if she will be back to normal or not.

She ended up mostly okay. She had to relearn how to walk, talk, and write. Still had issues with mobility. She actually ended up graduating from the college I first attended near my hometown. I never met/saw her as I think i had already moved by then m.jsonline.com/news/wisconsin/121479779.html If you search her name plus jsonline. You can find more info.

Thanks for the info. The article had just what happened during the "official course of the illness". Read exactly like a House episode. Scary how she just deteriorated so rapidly, out of the blue. Then once they knew what it was they started some serious treatment. She was so lucky to survive. And it said that everyone in contact with her had to receive the shot- something like 70 people.

I am now even more terrified of rabies, gotta tell ya.

Yeah. I've just now began to question my practice of petting cats on the street in Zurich. Of course they were house cats but still there was that possibility of being bit. Chicago I don't see cats often unless they are feral so that problem is solved.

Are birds safer than bats? They don't get rabies? (Honestly… I have no idea about this stuff)

The rabies thing is why I was freaked out about waking up in bed with a bat on my chest. The friend we woke up with our screaming informed us that bats in Africa don't have teeth. I'm still not sure I believe him.

O.M.F.G! I would have lost my shit. Lost it to the point I would have needed to have been medicated. I would have also beaten your H to the bathroom.

Did you not have window screens?!

According to the Illinois Department of Health birds do not get rabies.
