So here’s the story... someone reached out to me needing to rehome their chicken. They thought they had a “she,” but then they heard her try to crow. They separated her from the flock for the week, and she didn’t lay an egg. The problem is, I don’t have an exact hatch date other than sometime...

So I had a hack of a weekend at work and I ran out of chick food. Like, they’re out out. I was feeding Purina Start & Grow unmedicated, but the only thing our local store has is Rancher’s Choice Unmedicated. I’ll never make it to the next town over to get the purina Before the store closes. Is...

I have 4 (almost) two week old buff Orpington Chicks that I’d like to differentiate. Would it be ok to do a drop of food coloring (not red) on their chest? If so, do I rub it in until it’s dry? I’ve never raised chicks before, just always had started pullets. They’re in the same tank as two...

Has anyone ever heard of this? We have a dog indoors (which goes outside for walks, potty breaks, etc.) and two cats inside. Benelli, our corgi/lab mix gets Vextra each month, and the cats get Advantage. The problem is I noticed the dog itching pretty good tonight, so I combed her and found...

SO did it! He bit the bullet and proposed last Sunday! I took him to the St. Louis Arch on the way home from Arkansas (since he had never been and I have been there [more than 10 years ago]) Of course, I am terrified of heights so I start panicking while we were standing in line for tickets to...

Chris and I got a puppy tonight! She's 8 weeks old. The mother was a Welsh Corgi and the father was either a Welsh Corgi or a Jack Russell. We gave her a bath as soon as we got her home because she lived in the barn and had cow poop caked on her legs, dried her off, and now she's sleeping, all...

So Chris and I are going out tonight to get a puppy, they're Jack Russle/Welsh Corgi cross, 8 weeks old... what I was wondering is, should we get a boy or a girl? I've only had male dogs in the past and I have had good luck. Does anyone have any opinions on which we should go with and why? It...

I know I haven't been on for a while... I guess nursing school has kind of consumed my life. That being said, I could really use some prayers right about now. My mom has been diagnosed with breast cancer, ductal cell. She has the best surgeon in the world on her case (or at least I'm confident...

Hey y'all... My nursing classes are in full swing (again) and I was wondering... Are there any others out there? Also, when I am finished with school (about a year and a half from now) SO is going to take his Paramedic to RN bridge program (he's already a paramedic), and I would like to get my...

Long story short... Someone knocks on our door today at 4:00 PM and says that the city is coming over to do an inspection of the property tomorrow at 9:00 AM. SERIOUSLY??? Less than 24 hours notice? So I post on Facebook about it, and one of my friends who used to do inspections for...

I had a run-in with a theif today, right here in the seemingly quiet, peaceful town of Sigourney, Iowa (population 2000). Goes to show you can't judge a book by it's cover... It all started around lunchtime. I could feel my tummy growling, so decided to whip up a samich and some instant mashed...

Anyone out there use a netti pot? I received the suggestion after complaining on facebook about my third (yes, THIRD!) round of sinusitis in less than 2 months. So, my question is... Anyone have success using one? Anyone nearly drown themselves? I'm curious to see any success/horror stories out...

A friend and co-worker of mine called work tonight to tell us that she is in labor. You see, the reason she needs your prayers is because her past history includes a miscarriage, a baby born at 20 weeks that lived for half an hour, and now this pregnancy, which is only 32 weeks along. I know 32...

Does anyone know a good site that I can get online coupons from? I'm really tightening the reins around here and coupons are a great way to save $$$. Coupons for anything from groceries to cleaning supplies, anything I can use around the house (but especially groceries) would be appreciated!!!

Well, it has been a year since I have left my old home. SO (Chris) and I got into some financial trouble, he lost his job, and we just couldn't make it work. It was a family home, on 11 acres, and I hated to leave more than anything. There were other issues as well, family issues, but that is...

***MISSING DOG*** --- Please Read Below My friend Sara and her family got caught in a 20-car pileup during a snow squall on their way home from visiting family in Iowa. Thankfully Sara, her husband, their son, and their dog Bam-Bam are all okay, but they are missing another member of their...

Is the worst movie ever. Yes, I know, I am the only person on the planet who hasn't watched it all the way through, until tonight. You see, I am up because I have the worst bronchitis I have ever had and I can't sleep. No cough syrup on the face of this planet has kept me from coughing so hard I...

I had an awesome day today, SO and I spent the day with my side of the family at my folks' house and we had an awesome time. But alas, around midnight it was time to say our goodbyes and head home. When we got home, and it was just the two of us standing in front of our Christmas tree, he got...

Since I moved into my first apartment I have always wanted a KitchenAid stand mixer. It has been on my "Christmas wish list" for the past 10 years. Mom always said, "Maybe someday when you get your own house" and I was always OK with that. It was never a "need". When I finally did get "my own...

Ok, so everyone on my FB page has been raving about this website, www.pinterest.com I have looked at it, but only briefly, and I am confused. So, I decide to sign up, but evidently I have to "Request an invite" So I click on the button and they send me an e-mail saying "thank you for joining...
