Good to see you back Lynnie!
patti, just got a strong feeling, your hubs is a lot like mine.
Cracked me up, picturing my hubby looking at me saying, "Not a Dickey-bird out of you!"
...now that I know what it means and how to use it!
I don't quite get how ppl connected the bird to a word though.
Still don't know if the little fella chatters on or not...'not', a dickie bird...I think he does go on a bit :shock:
I don't know anybody that does that :XD:
