That's such a sad story Luke13:34. I'm sorry that all your hard work, and generosity was not appreciated.

Congratulations Biddylover! I waited a week past due date, trying to decide if I should toss a bad egg or not. It just hatched today! I don't know when to toss them, or how to tell if one is going to explode either!
