If you're doing anything with vases, don't bother getting matching ones. Hit up Goodwill or any other cheap place for the pretty colored glass vases. Blue, green, yellow, they end up looking pretty and country, not formal. Favors could be simple like wildflower seeds. Bubbles are also nice...

From Washington!

We only had a roo once, so there was no point in letting a poor bird set on nothing. So we just collected the eggs as usual, and put her out of the hen house. She would go back in, if she was determined, but after a couple days they mostly would stop. It seems mean, but it would be meaner to let...

I'd like to humbly submit a separate section for rants. Currently they're all in the Random Ramblings section, and some days all I see is ANGER ANGER ANGER. I have occasionally started my own rant thread. Just make a new section for them, since there are so many. This is probably my own fault...

It's like any hobby. Say camping. Some go in tents, or trailers, or motor homes with satellite tvs. Variety is the spice of life! Since I can't have chickens yet, I try to jot down, or bookmark a coop that gives me ideas. I will combine all these ideas eventually when I build my own coop. I...

$2000!! I don't have a cell phone, and my home phone is Vonage's 500 minute plan. After taxes it's about $20.00. I have never used all of my minutes. Ever.

I have WHAT in my yard? : That herd mentality is amazing isn't it? When I am waiting in a long line I try to be the one who starts the positive mood. Sometimes when you are the one behind the counter you can bring people into the conspiracy by telling them what a shame it is that you're NOT...

Thanks.

Okay. I work the cutting counter at JoAnn Fabrics. I get to work at 7:00 AM, and am off at 12:00. Corporate decides how many hours my managers can give out, which is why I only work five hours. Noon happens to be when things get busy. So we had a lot of people waiting, and it's already almost...

It is kinda weird that you weren't in a private room.

*GEL* : Just to add a positive note to this upsetting conversation..........recently I placed an order online for a toaster I was to give as a gift. I received it in the correct shipping time frame, however the outside box was pretty roughed up. I removed the outer box and the inner box...

We had this happen before. It was the rescued EE hen that we had just gotten that scared us. Standing at the door with a flashlight counting, coming up one short... Then a tiny quiet cluck from over my head... To this day I think she did it on purpose, because she was the quietest hen, and would...

I think they'll sort themselves out on their own. Keep watch and all that, but I bet they'll settle in and be just fine.

I never remember asking, I don't remember ever NOT knowing what those silly chickens/ducks were doing. I obviously got told before it was a big deal, and I'm happy about that, since I never needed "the talk" when I was older and it would have been awkward.

I'm just over this weird thing that lasted maybe a week or less. Coughing, stuffy nose, sore throat. I felt fine though. I wonder if I'm developing allergies. I've never had any before, but the pollen was so thick it coated my car greenish yellow. I'd rather it be a cold! Unfortunately I started...
