Well this must be where I am supposed to say this...

[MsSmurfy]

WHATEVER the problem I may have caused as so I have been accused of, & whomever Mirabella even is, I do not care to know...I DO hope lil Peanut does do well & have never intervened in advice because I didn't think it was my place to advise...and my words to Joel...were sincere & I still feel he has done an awesome heartfelt and intelligent part of himself to someone in need of his help. I do not breed birds nor do I wean birds, I merely love & care for them...so I was indeed of no help--> intentionally. Excuse me for being "social" in anyway on this board...I guess only a select few are permitted to be social, I am sorry I just didn't know. And as far as private message being negative about me or anyone for that matter I think is quite small & sneaky & I know where that comes from ...so with that said, I chose not to be 'socializing' with anyone who comes around as 'lurkers' then suddenly 'bash' another. Funny thing ya know, I never even knew the ugly stuff Mirabella said ...until she tried covering it up with a fake apology & false blessing~ so whoever you really are, I choose not to be any part of you & your so many private messages or insults. May lil Peanut live! With that all said & done I ask that would please one of the administrators be kind enough to empty out/delete my photo album & I shall be on my way!
Take care~ OH and PLEASE feel free to delete this AFTER Mirabella sees what insults & rudeness brings. "cause like I have suggested before...there ought to be a room for such 'trashing'...I don't appreciate my name being trashed several pages ago where one MAY try to be learning & reading on saving a lil bird during difficult weaning...("failure to thrive" is ALL I mentioned as possibilty...). I choose to remove my presence from such embarrassing, rude and false accusations...

I view this board each and every day and not sure what this is referring to? What will our board be w/out Ms. Smurfy? What the hell is going on?

I agree with you, Smurfy, that things were said that should not have been. You did nothing wrong. I had to hold back and finally just realized that all of us were being driven by our emotions and needed to simply stop and try to be supportive. Nothing mattered more than getting the bird helped by someone more qualified.

I think that you've long contributed much to this forum. I have also thought of leaving. Its frustrating to constantly have to clean up after others. But, if we REALLY care, we are OBLIGATED to help. Frankly, I could care less what anyone thinks of me personally. I have plenty of good friends who know exactly who I am and what they can expect from me. I'm not looking for a fan club. I've long since past the "insecurity" of youth.

Please reconsider. I'm not begging, I just think that anything positive here is worth holding on to. And, if you do decide to leave, please look me up on my board. I could always use someone with your talents and kindness.

Stick around Smurfy.........Like Nancy very well put it, everyone gets their "dander" up at times. We all should try harder to just let it roll off our backs, I think. We all are criticized, made fun of, praised at times, embarrassed at other times etc. etc. but what it all comes down to is that we all are basically here for the birds, in one way or other and each of us contributes in our own unique way, from our own experiences etc.........That includes bird advice, bird experiences, jokes, worldly advice, tips on everyday living, providing links to info. that we all can use, family advice, human health advice & just general experiences etc. etc. etc........We are all one big family here, I hope and should stick together held by the glue of our common bond - THE BIRDS. So get your cute butt (etc. ) back here right away and Kevin, don't listen to her, please don't remove her pics etc. until she absolutely has time to reconsider. Thanks Kevin.

Hey Phil, don't want to put ya on the spot BUT do ya have a Limerick in your arsenal there that is cute and expressive that might help to get Smurfy to stick around?.......... 8)

Hey MsSmurfy - Don't go!
I don't get to post too much, but read daily, and I think your posts have been very helpful! I especially have enjoyed seeing your pics, and respect you as a fid mommy! Your knowledge and dedication to your fids would be sorely missed!
Hang in there!

When Mirabella did blast MsSmurfy with flame,
her sick bird-related stress was to blame.
When seeking advice,
it's wise to act nice.
But a Smurfish departure would be lame.

How's that?
