Drivel
Isn't funny when a word you thought meant something, really means something else?
Take Drivel for instance, various dictionaries define it as either drooling or worthless talk. Now the talking part I knew, but drooling? Nope, didn't know that one.
The point of all this is that I like drivel, as in the talking definition, not the drooling one. You know, that worthless (supposedly) rambling that really tells you the interesting parts of a persons life? The gossip, the funny stories, the babble that shows the real them, not the serious part that they try to present, or the goofiness that they try to hide behind.
Its in the nonesense of life, that sense is made, where priorities are really shown and inner character shines forth.
All of this is brought to you by my addiction to Cadbury's Crunchie candy bars. I was going to write about how I just love these things and hunt for them every week at the grocery store. I think its mainly because the wrapper is in 5 languages, if it was an American candy bar, I probably wouldn't eat it... but I have a weird addiction to expensive European candy bars, when I thought "That's Drivel! Who would want to know about that?".
I love drivel! I love the inane details, the nonsense! Give me a funny book over a serious one any day, or better yet, a research book with lots of drivel in it. Like The Beggar and the Professor
, but I'll write a review on that book next, its got loads of drivel, but good juicy stuff.

BTW, I got the suet as you suggested. I haven't seen the Flicker come back yet, but the Thrashers were queued up all in a line for it this morning and the Cardinals were giving them a talking to for hogging it. :)

you can also get special suet feeds that the other birds cant use as easily, but mine do fine in a simple platform feeder :)
