Cheers!

He is a funny character that African Grey

His name is Viggo, and he talks and sings all kinds of stuff.
The first time my wife's boss came over for a dinner at our place, Viggo immediately greated him with "Hello fatso" sounding just like me.
That kinda broke the ice and we had a lovely evening

He is 21 years old now, and still going strong, so I guess we are stuck with each other.
Heck, he has outlived 5 dogs and two fiancees already...

Sorry for the off-topic to the op.

Most of them do. My uncle had a Galah that died at about 60 years old. We can only guess at that age though as he found him fully grown and injured. Nursed him back to health and he just stayed around. In the wild, these birds don't usually get past 20 years. In captivity they can go for as long as 80.

I like shaving with music but with small kids I am happy if they let me shave at all. It seems that everyone needs to be in the bathroom when I shave.

Yes, know what you mean, my 14 year old son comes down to watch me a lot...he has now decided that he is going to shave with a straight,"...in a couple of years Dad!".

Enjoy it...they grow up quick!

Silence is my first choice.

That sounds rather dangerous. I don't imagine nice things happening when one of your kids pulls in your arm while you are shaving your neck.

The wife knows that if I'm in the bathroom, right after a shower, door closed and Sinatra, Dean Martin or Sammy Davis Jr is playing that I'm shaving and it's a good time to leave me be.

I often listen to music while I shave. I play what I feel like at the moment so it varies quite a bit.
