I finally found the damn bird!

[Peaches]

As many of you know, I live in a little log cabin. My office is in a loft which overlooks the den.

For several months, we've been hearing a bird pecking on the wood outside the front door. Just a few pecks here and there, not anything major. There are at least 3 different kinds of woodpeckers in my woods which sometimes peck at the house and many times the regular birds will peck at the windows, so this isn't unusual. But it was odd that it seemed to be happening at the same spot every time and at the same intensity - like it was the same bird each time.

If it was during the day, sometimes I'd look out the window or run outside to see if I saw it flying away. For awhile I even wondered if it had somehow gotten into the chimney. I spent time looking at all the wood in the general area where I heard the pecking, but couldn't see any evidence. The bird seemed almost invisible, except you could HEAR it!

Then last night we caught the sucker. The kid and I are watching TV and we hear it several times. By now, we're used to it, but it's still a little unsettling knowing your home is being pecked away. All of a sudden, it happens again and the kid looks at me and says "It's NOT a bird, it's the "knock knock knock" of someone signing on to your ICQ list.".

He was right.

Sometimes I wonder if I should just line someone up now to take care of me.

LOL! That is too funny! I had to turn the sound on mine off, every time someone knocked my damn dogs would go off!

Hehe - 6 or so years ago I had AOL as my ISP and whenever my dogs heard "Good bye" they knew I was leaving the office (they're always there with me).

And when we used to have a doorbell, we'd watch the old "Whose Line is it Anyway" on CC and the dogs would go NUTS whenever the doorbell rang on the show. Now that I haven't had a doorbell in over 3 years, I don't think they know what it is anymore. :P

I've turned all sounds except incoming messages off (and I've changed that sound to something a bit easier on my ears).
I fucking hate the 'uh oh' sound of icq.

I keep the sounds on because many times I'm downstairs doing something and I need to grab an ICQ message. Wig gave me a few minutes of exercise last night when I was boiling pasta and talking to him via ICQ at the same time. :P
