Welcome to my BYC Page!
I've created this page with a focus on my coop/run, my pride and joy. I took a lot of time thinking and planning, and my efforts paid off with a great, maintenance free coop, if I do say so myself!
My Coop:
I designed the run myself, stealing good ideas from others...

Thank you. The others really did seem very unusually calm, somber. Even the jerky rooster didn't bother being a jerk, didn't crow at me as he always does, they all just stood in a quiet group and watched me take her. I really sensed they felt the loss.
...brown body. I'd say, "Oh, that's Rachel" very seriously and watch their look of amusement at her name.
It's a sad day. I know people lose chickens every day, but I only have a handful and they are dear pets to me, and I am just very, very sad and so worried about *why* she died.
Goodbye Rachel.

Thank you!
(And by the way the drunken karaoke WAS the tyvek shed; I always found it so ironic, $40k worth of audio equipment but no one thinks of siding or interior ceilings. Beautiful light figures screwed into clear poly over insulation. )
The stories I could tell if that thread...
...up into american cheese, also good.
4. I love a salty/chocolate combo, as I think some others mentioned. Hershey Special Dark and Potato Chips, *THE BEST*.
5. Sharp Cheese on a Ginger Snap.
6. Extra Sharp Cheese and Chocolate, also a good combo.
7. I very rarely eat cake. But if I do...
Someone mentioned eyes falling out, made me think of this. It's an overheard story of an overheard story! A two-fer:
I was a kid, maybe 10 or 12. Sitting in the kitchen at my grandmother's drawing at the kitchen table and overheard this conversation between my mother and my grandmother, about a...
They aren't the cheapest, due to low minimums, but I found their customer service to be excellent. I got almost all my chickens from them (the others are rescues) and I am very pleased. They were extremely informative, helpful and friendly. I would recommend them. Also, like Deb said, I am...
I do not enjoy Autumn the way most people do. For me, it's a time of anxiety, because I know that winter is nearing. Winters are tough here, living alone and tough on my body and spirit. I definitely have Seasonal Affective Disorder, so as the season progresses, my mood changes, my sleep...
I had JUST been released from the hospital after having a Total Thyroidectomy with complications from the anesthesia. I had an incision all the way across my throat covered with only a bandage and was very weak and in pain and in a bathrobe recuperating on the couch. At the time I lived near an...
Well, I have always had free tickets to WWE because I'm good friends with a WWE wrestler. Not sure if I ever would have paid for tickets had I not known him. $600 for Reba McIntire? No way. No how. No can do. Will not do it. I'm not a fan, but even if I pick someone I am a fan of, someone I...
I think he has the right to take his own life. I'd like to hope he's exhausted all other possible resources first, but in the end it's his life, his decision. I do not agree however, with the wife doing it. That's an awful heavy burden for her to later bear, "Did I do the right thing?" or "Oh my...
I don't rake. I don't see the point of it. I don't waste the energy on it. I could care less what the neighbors think. It's my property; I guess that's the joy and privilege of owning my own property and living alone. I do take a leaf blower to the front steps so myself and others don't slip...

I'd like to screen men via BYC. If they're interested in me, say, "Oh, really? Join this website (BYC) for a year, and if you're still interested in me then, give me a call."
Whether you're friends, kidding, helping, whatever; I just have to say I would honestly DITCH friends who "helped" so much with what I wear. I'm serious, it would really bug me. Maybe Fattie likes the advice, since she does post asking questions about it (not that she did so here), but I don't...

No, I knew it. I know it because a close friend of mine died today too, 25 years ago. Hit by a drunk driver. So I always think of it on this day. I'm just too preoccupied missing my friend to put much thought into Elvis.
August 16 is also his birthday, so it's double pain.
