    Good to know! Thanks for educating me on that. I wasn't aware it was all the same belief system, because they always seemed slightly different in the way they worship, but of course that doesn't mean their belief system has to be different.

    May I ask which Orthodox denomination you belong to? I know people who are from the Russian, Ukrainian, and Serbian Orthodox churches. I know each is a little different.

    It's surprising to hear that so many of you do not celebrate Christmas, or at least do not do Santa Claus. I absolutely respect it, as I do think the consumerism of Christmas has gotten out of hand, but it's just that pretty much everyone I know celebrates. It's nice to hear other viewpoints. I...

    To anyone who is subscribed to this thread: What is Santa bringing for your kids this year? If your kids are older now, what were the most well-received gifts Santa ever brought for your kids? Any tips on budget-friendly stuff that kids like? For me, things will be pretty simple this year, as...

    I love this advice! I'm already finding it to be true. It seems that all you have to do is provide the basics, and the rest is up to your discretion and preferences. Thanks! I do baby-wear fairly often. It was really fun in the summer when I could take her outside for long periods of time. But...

    Your grandmother seemed like a sweet and intelligent lady! What she said takes a lot of the fear out of things. I can be hard not to worry about others' opinions because I'm discovering there are soooo many ways to raise a child and so many different opinions. My sister has a similar-aged child...

    I somehow never saw this reply. Thanks for this advice! I'm really trying not to.wish anything away. I do look forward to when my baby is around 1.5 because it's one of my favorite ages, but I'll try not to even think about that and just enjoy every stage.

    It's funny, I actually ended up giving this rooster to a friend. He's clearly a rooster by the looks of him, but my friend said he's never actually heard him crow. Maybe I could have kept him 😂

    Help help help! Knowledge needed.

    To add to what others have said, I am a firm believer that a lot of the "inevitable" losses with Cornish X are actually (with some exceptions of course) quite preventable with proper nutrition. People over-feed them in my opinion. When I follow Meyer Hatchery's feeding directions, which call for...

    Oh man, do I know the feeling! I had one of those bellies that went straight out. Things like putting on shoes and shaving my legs became rather difficult. But I found out that it was still easier (but less fun!) than having the baby on the outside lol

    Peaceful dispatch discussion

    Can't say I've ever heard of giving the birds alcohol before dispatch, but in a way, I could see why this might work for you. Of course drinking alcohol would probably have some long-term negative effects, but if it's right before dispatch and they seem calm and comfortable, I think it's...

    Hesitating with dispatching them

    The first time is definitely the most difficult. It's not that it gets easier to take a life, but you do eventually gain more confidence in doing it smoothly without error. It's natural to have second thoughts, but just assess if this is really what you want to do. If you don't, then like others...
