Have you been wondering what that cool round thing is they’re building on the edge of the Experimental Farm, near Merivale and Central Park? Me too. So I asked the workers, and they told me it’s going to be a solar-powered pump and irrigation house.
In other news, I was a little taken aback when I spotted this bag of cookies in the cookie aisle at Loblaws. I’m no expert, but I think this cookie manufacturer needs to rethink its marketing strategy. A little euphemism might go a long way.
In other other news, the first baby lovebird egg hatched yesterday. A breeder gave us two tips to prevent ourselves from falling in love with the babies and keeping them all. 1) Don’t name them, and 2) Call them all “it” rather than ‘he’ or ‘she’. So we’re referring to this one as “One of Five.” It’s a little pink bundle of pure vulnerability. It has no feathers, its eyes are still sealed and it has the tiniest, sweetest little beak you ever saw.
Your photo depicts Bowel Buddy “Original.” The version just barely visible to the left is Bowel Buddy pomegranite. The French designation is right on the top – “Grenade.” Bowel Buddy Grenade. I had to check this out. One healthfood reviewer said they taste just like sawdust.
“One of Five” might not work either. Don’t forget that character on Star Trek Voyager whose name was “Seven of Nine”!
When I saw that sliced column, I immediately thought of the relatively new church on Greenbank at Bateman. It’s got a section facing the street that is the same shape, and looked pretty much the same as this when it was under construction.

Yeah I saw the BB product in the pharm as well. I agree on the marketing issues.
My Dad always told me not to name the fish we caught – because it’s not right to name your food… but I always did.
If it were me, I’d still be horribly attached to the baby birds.
It sounds like attachment is brewing. Avert your eyes from the sweetest little beak. I would be a terrible breeder.
“It’s a little pink bundle of pure vulnerability. It has no feathers, its eyes are still sealed and it has the tiniest, sweetest little beak you ever saw.”
Umm..I think it’s already too late for you! LOL!
Maybe you could name the birds Bowel Buddy 1, Bowel Buddy 2…
