  I needed a good laugh this morning.  I woke up with sinus problems
(further signs of being 49?) and had a horrible night.  I sure needed
that this morning.
  Aspartame in feeders is even funnier than all the plastic fruit
feeders that look great but that is it.  You can't wash them and the
hummers don't like them.  But it does give ideas to people for gifts
when all else fails.  My Mom was so cheap that she tried to get the
hummers to drink marichine juice after she had eaten the cherries.  I
think they actually laughed at her.
  Isn't aspartame more expensive than sugar?
  Has anyone seen a fat hummer?  Mine spend to much time being pissy
with each other to get fat.
  Does anyone have advise for me on what kind of water fountain would
be good for hummers.  I went looking yesterday and thought the
cascading ones might be best.  I wish I could find one that puts out
water like a rain bird but no luck.
