    Weird neighbors..

    We are the weird neighbors here. We have one car that gets driven for the weekly grocery trip, cat vet trips and maybe 2 or 3 times a year to go to work. Otherwise, it's always in it's spot. Otherwise, we both bike to work. We just walk with the dogs to the dog vet. We have inside chickens.

    The DUMBEST thing you've ever done?? (that you'll admit to, lol)

    Quote: Naw, that's how you make sure you do learn how to drive one Really fun to do when you live in Denver.

    What's the worst gift you ever received?

    Quote: Sigh. Not sure it's better to make all the kids but the youngest feel ignored. Sigh. Think we should make our own family and leave out the idiots. Christmas remains the final straw I think, we'll see what happens later. Diapers for brother and me, brand new $30K car for sister...

    What's the worst gift you ever received?

    From DH? Hrm. Nothing really bad. He was well trained from his mother. I have NO use for pretty things really - really, am I going to wear a sparkly necklace or spiffy sexy dress around big cats who think I'd be a tasty snack? - and if I want them, I buy them on my own. When I say I want...

    Inside chicken home?

    The Pretty Ladies, as DH calls them (well, so do I, but DH likes to say he lives with a harem of pretty ladies instead of grumbling about being the only male in the household), have been a really great joy to add to our lives. Never would have thought I'd like any birds, they often hate me...

    Inside chicken home?

    Quote: The ladies are laying, they took over the cat's bed/box in the bathroom as their nest. The cats didn't really like the bed anyway, it was near the evil thing known as a shower where they might get damp. So they lay their eggs sometime during the day - on the weekends, seems like...

    What color have some of you painted your coop

    Inside the "coop" is a pale slate blue with white trim and silver. Outside is brick. Inside apartment chickens who have the bathroom as their coop.

    Need opinions from Landlords and Tenants - SORRY LONGWINDED

    DH and I are building managers if that counts for anything. Pretty much, people only get evicted for late rent/non-payment for 3 months. We are in a pretty good area overall with pretty secure jobs, so we've not had a lot of problems. It's just the walk-thru at the end, we sometimes find a...

    Sunflower seed price hike. Worldwide or local?

    Lower midwest is in a serious drought that's killing off crops. Upper midwest is flooding something horrible that's killing off crops. Price increase due to suspected lack of supply in the future. There is an increase in use of sunflower oil in products. Price increase due to higher...

    Inside chicken home?

    Quote: We are the building managers and I went through the apartment they were in. Found them, packed them up, took them home, never got their prior owners to contact us back. So we've had them for 5 months now and just finally are getting used to life

    Inside chicken home?

    Quote: http://www.hensaver.com/Hen-Holster.html Got my hens their diapers there. The girls weren't huge fans of them at first, but VERY quickly caught on that they could wear diapers or not get to be out as much. Out with people is worth the diaper to them. But they don't wear them all...

    Anyone here been in the - ROTC - ?

    What branch? DH was AFROTC, paid for his schooling, he loves being in the AF, did have to go to Reserves a few years ago. ROTC is college, you start the process in HS to get a scholarship if needed. Most start around 18, you can start later.

    Inside chicken home?

    No, we don't mind them inside. They aren't terribly messy actually, and they like getting their bath weekly, so they aren't dirty or anything. They are hilarious at bathtime, we have to hold them up or they are relaxing out flat and blissed out. The hairdryer is the best thing put on the face...

    Inside chicken home?

    Right now, the Silkies are inside only pretty much, unless we are carrying them. I'm not sure about their prior history, but we got them when they were abandoned and they panic when they are on the ground. Grass is EVIL to them. What they have right now is... Night - an XL wire dog crate...

    Boo Tour de France

    Quote: I ride a bike daily if possible, ride in the Rockies, and still find TdF boring as all get out. Big deal. Yay, you ride a bike fast. I don't mind a few updates, but days and days of nothing but TdF? Boring. NASCAR however is worth watching if only for the drama and potential for...
