Does anyone have a good online t-shirt printing company that will do small orders?

My usual company seems super busy so my small orders get lost in the shuffle.

I think you're right. Congrats Bird Nerd!

Not a bird lady? Charlie would like a word.

Tonight's #DelightOfTheDay is the sunset from my family room window. It was WAY more beautiful than the photo shows. Being home with the birds is the place I want to be right now.

No more trips planned...yet.

Lopk at you! Coming in with the bird facts.

I plant annuals specifically for the hummingbirds. I've found they like the flowers better than the feeder so I have a few around all summer.

I saw a toucan and a solitary eagle in Belize. So cool.

I should have brought them on vacation so I could have gotten an up close look at the flamingos! Missed opportunity.

Ugh - that's so unfair! Doing all the good things and still getting the bad thing.

I have been unpacking, getting birds settled at home and there is just still so much to do before returning to work tomorrow!

But then hubs went to the office and I watched a couple episodes of a show. Just a little treat for me.

Ooo, buy the binoculars! I use mine all the time to look at the birds in the trees near my house!

Are those flamingos from my photo? I love it!

Iguanas are usually up in the trees or chilling in the sun. This was a little crazy with two chasing one away and then the two remaining scrambling very close to people during/post coitus.

Also grab a jar of instant tea and a jar of sweetened instant lemonade and make Russian Tea. It's so good!

A different view of the sunset was my #DelightOfTheDay. We are back in MN. Can't wait to crawl into my own bed!

Yay! That looks like a fun toy for you, Syvie!

Happy birthday! I am celebrating by having a strong rum punch and leftover pizza beachside before heading to the airport.

Girl Scouts could make a fortune on gluten free Thin Mints. Why have they not done this???

I think it's a cocktail of arrogance and stupid.

I would never hire someone that way. Computer can't judge personality and if the person has the characteristics necessary to do the job and fit in with the team.

I hope these AI interviews lead to real human interviews for you!
