    Granny's gone and done it again

    I get some food from Amazon. Just be careful what you order because they have a habit of dumping everything in the same box with very little padding. I've had more than one bag of chips come smashed and one box of Del Monte peach fruit cups squished because they tossed them in with three cases...

    Oh man, no pressure there! I have an upper removable partial bridge that I've had for about 30 years now. 25 years ago it had to be enlarged after I lost more teeth to a congenital condition called internal resorption. I also lost a bunch of the front part of my jaw as the teeth had fused to...

    Tail injury with swelling.

    Marek's Sux....the end. I always hate to hear that anybody is having to deal with it in their flock. It is a killer of birds and a destroyer of flock owners dreams. But no, you are not alone. We are all here to help however we can but in the meantime all you can do is hang on with both hands...

    Heelers are hoots that is for sure. Dingo our first, we lost him to Degenerative Myelopathy when he was just 10 years old. Started showing symptoms at 8. Just an amazing boy. Our first January here on our farm, the Amish guy we had bought it from asked if he could winter over his cattle in our...

    Our first blue, aptly named Dingo, showed up a little under a year old at our first property here in MO. Neighbor was going to take him to the pound as a stray, we said no, we'd take him. That dog loved everyone, everything and no fence could hold him. We rescued 5-3 month old reds from a local...

    @CanuckBock you have a red and blue heeler! We have 4 reds, all sibs and just 6 years old so they are still pretty brainless. Our first was a blue and he was a character. Wanted to stop by and wish everyone here a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. I'm kicking back and relaxing. Not doing too...

    Hi everyone. Checking in. Been kicking back and resting, taking it easy. It's been a rough year between DH's 2 surgeries and my one so I'm trying to relax and enjoy the Christmas season. Today is the 20th anniversary of DH and my first date. We agreed to meet at a little coffee shop in...

    Sure do Blue, https://www.browneyedbaker.com/danish-butter-cookies/ I don't have a 'cookie shooter/press or whatever you wanna call it' at the moment so I just rolled mine out and made round cookies dusted with sugar, I think this yours is pretty much the ones the local Amish use from what...

    Good deal, Cap. Are you doing the drops post procedure or did they give you the subconjunctival shot? We have an eye doc friend back in IL who just had one eye done and he went with the shot just so he didn't have to bother with drops. Me? I don't mind drops nearly as much as needles near my...

    We woke up this morning to dropping temps, high winds and LESS SNOW! Yay! Most of the snow is gone. Only left on north facing slopes but man oh man the wind is brutal right now. They predicted a cold wet winter for this part of the country and of course this would be the year that they are...

    DH went out last week to pick up an on line grocery order. He was about a quarter of a mile from home and radioed me to tell me he was stuck. Well, he wasn't stuck. He was brought to a standstill coming up a hill thanks to the ice skating rink that is our road. And he was raised in Wisconsin so...

    On occasions DH and I remark that we wish we had retired somewhere where the winter weather was a bit kinder. Then we think about the logistics of moving again. It took us over 2 years to move from IL to Missouri closing down the office, selling it and the house we had there. Every friend who...
