Those quarantine officials are not going to be portrayed sympathetically when this becomes a Netflix movie.2 -

They really tracked a damn bird from Alabama to Oz? What kind of scorned ex-girlfriend technology is this???amorfati601070 wrote: »This pigeon is an inspiration to me and now they are just gonna kill it3 -
There's no need to kill the bird for crying outloud. All they need to do is quarantine the bird. Helloooo. We don't kill people because they travel all over the world. We quarantine cattle and bison from one another. Who's in charge of that outfit. That's a hail of thing to do to a friend.
A racing pigeon sits on a rooftop Tuesday, Jan. 12, 2021, in Melbourne, Australia, The racing pigeon, first spotted in late Dec. 2020, appears to have made an extraordinary 13,000-kilometer (8,000-mile) Pacific Ocean crossing from the United States to Australia. Experts suspect the pigeon named Joe, after the U.S. president-elect, hitched a ride on a cargo ship to cross the Pacific. (Kevin Celli-Bird via AP) The Associated Press
He said the Oklahoma-based American Racing Pigeon Union had confirmed that Joe was registered to an owner in Montgomery, Alabama.
Celli-Bird said he had attempted to contact the owner, but had so far been unable to get through.
The bird spends every day in the backyard, sometimes sitting side-by-side with a native dove on a pergola. Celli-Bird has been feeding it pigeon food from within days of its arrival.
“I think that he just decided that since I’ve given him some food and he’s got a spot to drink, that’s home,” he said.
Australian National Pigeon Association secretary Brad Turner said he had heard of cases of Chinese racing pigeons reaching the Australian west coast aboard cargo ships, a far shorter voyage.
Turner said there were genuine fears pigeons from the United States could carry exotic diseases and he agreed Joe should be destroyed.
The Agriculture Department state that the pigeon was “not permitted to remain in Australia” as it could “compromise Australia’s food security and our wild bird populations.”
Since Chelli-Bird is unable to catch the pigeon, quarantine authorities are now considering contacting a professional bird catcher.

As a long time lurker of the forums, this is disheartening.
Seems many of the entertainers (the staples, the great ones) are MIA....this includes yourself, gymgoddess, Kashmir, Motorsheen, Willitgoroundincircles, Cacoether, kosmo, there's only a few good ones left.
I'm still here, just occupied by other stuff. I lurk, I read, like the creep I am.

Idk how mothers, fathers sisters brothers- families survive seeing their loved ones like this. I wouldn’t be strong enough.

I’m so confused, why can’t they give them somewhere to sit?- at least?
Why do they have to rest like that.

Oooof, this is why I will always appreciate soldiers and vets. They do what it takes to get a task they're asked to do done even when it is bound to be a detriment to themselves (whether now or later).
It couldn't be me.3 -

As odd as it is to say, you get used to it. I've watched my husband be able to sleep in any and all odd positions, take weird-*kitten* cat naps at odd hours and just in general, survive long layovers, weird sleeping situations and having to be in cramped quarters with several other people for extended periods of time. He has truly learned the art of "napping like a cat".
As to why they have to rest like that? A lot of times (especially now that quarantine is in Tier 4 in the UK and other European countries), it's because they have nowhere else to quarantine the soldiers on short notice or because they are in process of getting to their destination (long layovers, no spare seats in certain places (particularly if it's a military affiliated terminal), etc.
In the case of the photo you posted, it's because they're National Guard members and they are currently occupying the Capitol in order to secure it until Biden takes over. There are no beds or real accommodations for anyone there outside of the chamber where voting takes place (and there may be some rules/regulations that prevent the NG members from utilizing that.

I don't know if you've ever been in the military, but when you are mobilized it's not generally to a place that is prepared to host you. You make due with what you have, sleep where and when you can, etc. At least they are indoors and have access to restroom facilities.
Honestly, you get used to it. Or at least I did way back when.4 -
Sometimes, I wish for snow... and then I remember just how much I don't like the cold.. and then I wish for warm sun... then remembering how much I despise the absolute humidity of summer... and so it goes, in circles.2

You are strong. I know myself, I wouldn’t be able to get used to it. I’m that crazy sister running into the soccer field when a fight breaks out trying to protect my brothers🤦♀️.
I’d probably have to get therapy
Definitely put into a mental institution.

I understand that I just thought they’d be getting better treatment because of where they are. idk why I think they should be living lavish in there😂. Not really, at least some chairs, just a bit more comfortably. Saw a video of someone handing them pizza, while they are eating on the ground 😣
