Seems like on the west coast they're mostly scrub jays. The eastern jays I see are like this: https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Blue_Jay/id Having said that, when I scatter seed and in-the-shell peanuts for the birds in the *winter* I often see a blue jay fly off with sunflower seeds or a peanut. I can't say for sure whether they stash them or eat them. I do know there aren't any nestlings for them to feed in December and January. The only critters that hoard shiny objects around here are raccoons. I had a very nice bird feeder that hung from three chains joined by an S-hook at the top. One morning I got up and the feeder was down on the ground. The S-hook was there but the chains were gone! I kept picturing little gangs of raccoons carrying chains, maybe reenacting a scene from 'West Side Story'. LOL Jill |

It's bad enough they already add sugar or HFCS to many canned tomato sauces (including Hunts, which is the brand I saw on that video). Then you add more sugar? Don't forget the red hot dogs! Sorry, it does not sound at all appealing. Jill |

I sincerely doubt his claims this dish will be trending in America (of which the Hawaiian islands are a part). I've had spaghetti with red sauce in restaurants and diners all across this great nation. Never once did it include extra sugar, red hot dogs or Velveeta. Jill |

Of course you got my point: Sheldon can't speak for the habits of all the different blue jays. I don't know what the cardinals do with the sunflower seeds they carry off. They eat some right there, they carry some away. In the spring they have hatchlings to feed, but not in the winter. Perhaps they're stashing some away for later. Jill |

Are they both the size of an adult rhinoceros?? > 6 feet is pretty tall. Is she as wide as she is tall?! As for the stomach bypass surgery it costs a heck of a lot of money. Likely not covered by insurance unless there is a doctor who will certify it is medically necessary. I knew several people at work who had to find a doctor out of state who would authorize it before our company health insurance would cover it. No doubt why our group insurance rates went up. One woman actually *gained weight* on purpose so she could get approved for the gastric bypass. One guy who had it done thought it meant he could pig out on anything he wanted. And he made sure to pick up two fried fish meals from either Captain D's or Long John Silver's the day before... with fries and hush puppies. He said, "Gotta eat a lot while I can!" He busted a gut after the surgery, eating pizza and burgers pretty much the minute he got home. NO NO NO NO! Start of off with broth, then move on to soft foods. In a few weeks you get to eat solid foods. In moderation. IIRC, my former MIL did that, too. The minute she got home she thought she could eat anything she wanted. That's not the way the surgery works. Jill |

The blue jay that we tamed in our backyard was a Scrub Jay and we had a lot of fun with him taking peanuts off our shoulders etc. We would watch him bury them in the yard and come rushing back for more. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFjGzcbLLYs Cheri |

I simply would have to lay down the lay to her and not be in the least bit timid about calling her out for her behavior. But she's your relative and you have to deal with her selfish, self-centered behavior. |

Like others in previous responses to this thread she did not follow the guidelines and started eating tons of carbs immediately. Donuts, cakes, cookies, pasta, potatoes; everything she was supposed to not eat for many, many, weeks after surgery. If I remember correctly she was supposed to have very, very few of these foods items and in small portions well after her surgery. She's larger now than when she went for her surgery. |

However the 'zoftig' pronunciation is used more often. Zoftig: literally, "juicy." Although it has come to mean fat, it is really a compliment, meaning a buxom, lush, "juicy." Marilyn Monroe and Anna Nicole Smith were zoftig. Audrey Hepburn and Callista Flockhardt were/are decidedly NOT zoftig.
