Maybe It's Time ????

I bought a bird feeder. I hung it on my back porch and filled it with seed. Within a week we had hundreds of birds taking advantage of the continuous flow of free and easily accessible food. But then the birds started building nests in the boards of the patio, above the table, and next to the barbecue. Then came the poop. It was everywhere: on the patio tile, the chairs, the table… Everywhere.

Then some of the birds turned mean: They would dive bomb me and try to peck me even though I had fed them out of my own pocket. And others birds were boisterous and loud: They sat on the feeder and squawked and screamed at all hours of the day and night and demanded that I fill it when it got low on food. After a while, I couldn’t even sit on my own back porch anymore. I took down the bird feeder and in three days the birds were gone. I cleaned up their mess and took down the many nests they had built all over the patio. Soon, the back yard was like it used to be… Quiet, serene and no one demanding their rights to a free meal.

Now lets see… Our government gives out free food, subsidized housing, free medical care, free Education and allows anyone born here to be a automatic citizen. Then the illegals came by the Tens of thousands. Suddenly our taxes went up to pay for free services; small apartments are housing 5 families: you have to wait 6 hours to be seen by an emergency room doctor: your child’s 2nd grade class is behind other schools because over half the class doesn’t speak English: Corn Flakes now come in a bilingual box; I have to press "one" to hear my bank talk to me in English, and people waving flags other than "Old Glory" are squawking and screaming in the streets, demanding more rights and free liberties.

Maybe it’s time for the government to take down the bird feeder !!!!

    Do you like this chapter in my story?

    OK, the name of my story is The Girl To Be, and ill just leave it at that. Enjoy (:

    Chapter 3

    "Where am I, who are you, and you need to take me back home right no–"
    "Alex, is this her?
    I stopped myself in mid sentence when two kids about my age walked from the house.That’s not why i stopped though. I stopped, because one of them, a boy, looked almost exactly like me. He spoke anxiously to the tall dark haired man, my kidnapper.
    "Alex, is this Ellianna, is this my sister?"
    Before Alex had a chance to answer him, i cut in.
    "Woah, woah, woah! Yes, i am Ellianna, but i swear im not your sister. Im an only child, and i have been since i was born."
    A flash of horror crossed Alexs face.
    "Children, you need to come with me, Deleineigh, sweetheart, please stay here."
    The boy put his arm on my shoulder and pushed me toward the back of the house, where there was a small patio. The boy and i sat down on a bench, and Alex sat on a chair across from us.
    "Now ellianna, if you wouldn’t mind, could you tell me your life story?" He asked cautiously, " I want to make shure Deija told you the right things."
    I let out a deep sigh and began the story.
    "Well i know when i was three my mother and i moved to america from England, adn we have lived in six different states all across america since then. I know im an only child with hardly any friends, and a mom who works 2 jobs to make ends meet. I know i live in a bad neighborhood and that my life is in danger every day. But most of all, i know you all are some crazy people who kidnapped me, and wont quit calling me princess, and all i want is to go home and be with my mother!"
    Both of them nodded and Alex let out yet another deep sigh.
    "Oh dear. Eli, it looks like your mother did a horrible job of explaining things. Ellianna, honey, none of that is true. Deija has lied to you your entire life. Im sorry honey, but none of this is who you really are."
    I looked at him like he was crazy.
    "OK, i knew you were crazy when you kidnapped me, but now i am totally convinced you are on something."
    Eli surppressed a laugh, and Alex shook his head slowly.
    "Ellianna, you were born in england, you didnt, however, just leave with your mother. We sent you away, because if we didnt, our kingdom would have been destroyed."
    "Uhm… Im sorry, but what?" i asked completely confused.
    "Ellianna, you really are a princess, and you are most definitely not kidnapped, you are being protected. Believe me, if we hadnt gotten you when we did, you could have already been killed."
    My moth dropped open.
    "Let me call my mom. She needs to know im OK." I demanded in a small voice.
    "Ellianna, we cant, they could be listening in on every single one of our phone calls." I frowned.
    "But we can do better than that. Ellianna, your mother is in on all of this. She dosent work at all, she spends the day with John, my boss. Your in a protection program."
    Eli turned to me.
    "John is our father," he explained " and he is the only parent ive know since our third birthday, so when mom and dad come here tomorrow to see you, we will both get to see both of our parents for the first time in 11 years."
    I smiled. I would finally have a second parent again.
    "Wait," I said slowly, " who was that girl you were with when i first saw you?"
    Eli and Alex smiled at each other.
    "Deleineigh is my only child," Alex said. "and shes my girlfriend, and she was your best friend when we were three." Eli finished.
    Eli and i talked for a few munits until Alex looked at his expensive watch and announced dinner would be served in about an hour. Eli and i stood and we moved toward the house, talking and laughing as if we were best friends who hadnt been apart at all their entire lives.
    Poison Kiss: sorry i confused you, the first 2 chapters explain the story a little more.

    I saw an umbrella that doesn’t have the traditional pole and tilt but has a support from the side so you can adjust it to keep the sun off well. It’s a patio umbrella and looked great. Any ideas where I can get one of these? I live in the Bay Area, ca but would buy online if that’s how I can get one. I did an online search and the only thing I could find was a European style umbrella but they were super expensive. Maybe I just don’t know the name of it to search well. Thanks.
