There is this Girl Scout troop that has the great misfortune (idiocy?) to have me as their leader. The girls are 6, can mostly not read (ok, one girl can read), have very limited motor skills (sewing, making a God's-eye out of yarn, and putting those foam magnet kits together without the...

Holy cow, I am in LOVE with this show!! Anybody else? I love Mantracker himself, but I am admittedly a little smitten with his sidekick Curtis Hallock. I have determined that I can't become 'prey' on the show because I'd do one of the following: 1. scream like a 9yo girl at a slumber...

Remember this thread a while back? I had fun with it, so I'm starting anew and adding a question. Two questions: 1. Which celebrity do people say you most look like? 2. Which celebrity do YOU think you look most like?

Happy Birthday to youu.... Happy Birthday to youuuu..... Happy Birthday dear Bargain.... Happy Birthday to youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

My White Rock roo and Blue Andalusian roo had a cock fight sometime early this morning. The BA is penned up in a trampoline-turned-pen. There is blood on the chicken wire all along most of the perimeter of the pen. There is much more blood on the outside, from the White Rock. Here's how...

Can I pick up anything for anyone along the way? Bargain is making me some homemade chicken soup, with collards, hopping john, corn, and noodles. I'm already hungry! Hey, does anyone have Bargain's address?

I have a question for those more experienced than I with making pies from scratch. I have finally learned how to make a great pie crust, but I hate cooking, so I'm not one to experiment. But with bake sales occurring regularly now, I'm wondering: Can you make a bunch of little pies using a...

Dearest friend, now that you have taken the initiative to stop smoking, let me commend you and tell you how sincerely I wish for this to be easy for you. With that in mind, I am asking you to sign a commitment, a promise, a ‘stop smoking’ contract….. Get your pen, kiddo, cuz you need to sign at...

We have 4 ducks, and all developed the tail curl the same week. Now, months later, three tails no longer have the curled feather. What's up with that?

11 yo DS, good health except asthma... He's complained about a stomach ache for 3 days. Off and on, never bad enough to do anything about it, bothered by activity more than anything. On the 3rd day, he coughed all day. Not a lot, not alarming, I thought it was a mild asthma problem from the...

I'm wondering, are most songs better by their original singer, or does a second rendition by someone else seem to improve it? Any examples?

We got them a few days ago, no feathers yet. They are in a large tupperware box lined with dish towels. They have the waterer that baby chicks use, the one you screw a mason jar to. They somehow get the water out and get the towels soaked. I elevated the waterer on a baking dish, and that...

Know a great song? Remember those wonderful gems from yesteryear? Share!

We butchered a turkey today and discovered a baseball sized crop that appeared to be filled with air. I punctured it with the knife tip and it deflated. I cut it open and there was nothing there. This turkey was butchered at noon and had been penned up since the sun set the night before. He...

We got these from the feed store the other day. They were in a cage marked "Guineas/Bantams" and I asked the feed store guy if the bantams were chickens. He said yes, I asked what kind they were, he pointed up at a poster from Privett Hatchery and said "There one of them up there." Well...

We left the house yesterday to go to the grocery store. When we got home, I went to feed the animals. Oldest son comes running out yelling like someone had a hand cut off. Turns out that before we left for the grocery store, 3-yr-old son washed his hands and an EGG in the bathroom sink, plugged...

I've had a cold, and it's now day #8. The sneezing and runny nose is but a memory, but my head still feels like it's full of oatmeal. Is this normal by day 8? And i'm coughing up yummy stuff and it's not oatmeal. I have to run a Girl Scout meeting in less than 2 hours. Any advice on...

I loved this show! And it's gone, I tell you, GONE!! I sent a comment to the Discovery Channel to moan in pain. They replied something like "Oh."

In 11 years of raising chickens, we've never had one look like it was molting. Why? Is it because we have such mild winters here? What triggers a molt?

Sometimes I find a song that I heard in my youth and I am absolutely obsessed with owning it. The song I'm obsessed with now is 'Skip A Rope' by Henson Cargill. Watch it at : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxsEWuzyz38 Does anyone remember this song??? Also, I'm obsessed with a video I've...
