Just got a call today from my apprentice director...I'm headed out to Wolf Point Mt for 3 months of work . Very good news since I need the hours and money , bad news since my husband just got home from California working . I can't come back home ( it's an 8 hour drive ) . We just bought some...
It's some what of a long story , so I'll try to keep it short . My dad has been in and out of my life for the past 15 yrs . We used to be very close when I was young , but when I turned 10 it all just kinda stopped . My parents divorced when I was 16 and I moved away with her . My dad called...
A week and a half ago one of my friends sisters died . I met Karen through my husband and Diana . Karen had breast cancer and ignored it for over 2 years . She finally went to the doctor , had chemo , did the natural thing , and died at the age of 42 . She had a 10 year old daughter that she...
I've had a pretty rough 24 hours . I'm going to rant , so those who want to read then read those who don't...I don't care , I just feel better when I can write down my problems .
Last night my truck didn't make it up the driveway because of the rain we had mixed with the snow....we all know...
Lets start off...This gun was given to me 2 yrs ago from my FIL . I love the gun ! It's a little heavy , but I shot both my deer down dead last yr . This year , I shot my second ( not a drop...actually broke it's back ) and went to take another shot to kill ( I hate missing...I always wanna have...
Last Sunday my mom, sister , and I went into town for the usual errands ( grocery shopping , Costco , Wal-mart etc . ) . My SD came out for the weekend to hang out with me , but didn't want to go shopping ( can't blame her...I didn't want to either . ) . We were almost done shopping at Wal-mart...
I got a panicked call from my sister tonight . Apparently her cat had a wild duckling in it's mouth and she decided to call me . It isn't hurt , and is now resting peacefully in my dog crate with water and food . My question is..... How do I raise this duckling so that I can return it to the...
Okay....here's the deal . My hubby is working down in California because there is no work up here , and I'm also not working because of the same deal . I'm left with getting 8 cords of wood in , planting/weeding/harvesting our 45'x65' garden , spraying 36 acres of rough country for weeds ...
Just let the dogs out 5 minutes ago ....one came in and the other didn't . I started to smell skunk , got my gun...opened the door and there was my dog drooling and red eyed . What do I do ?!!! I can put him in the garage....but how do I tone down the smell , and is he ok from getting spray in...
As if life could possibly get any worse right now.....So sorry to just keep posting about family life , but as I've said before , I really have no one else to talk to . Hubby and I have basically been out of work for 1 1/2 years . Our health insurance works off of a "bank" ( hours worked = hours...
I'll try to make this as short as possible . This last winter I lent my sister my .22 remington because they had coon problems . I have finally gotten it back from her , but now 3/4 of the barrel is covered in rust . She left it out in her vehicle for months with the window down....needless to...
For those of you who have read the posts about my situation with my previous contractor/last employer , you know what I've dealt with . My mother called me today to let me know that it looked like I got a check from Unemployment ! I asked her to open it , and sure enough ...it was a check that...
For those of you that are reading this , thank you . I don't really have any friends to bounce this off of , only my family and husband , all of which are potentially biased . I need an opinion from outsiders to let me know if what I'm thinking is on track .
I am a Union apprentice wireman ...
I know that it seems like I always come up here for non-chicken related issues....so sorry for those that feel this way , but I feel as if I have a good grasp on those issues . I do not , however have an abundance of friends/colleagues to give me advice on daily life . That's where you all come...
Our computer crashed about 2 months ago...so it's been rough on trying to figure out how to upload pics again !! Hopefully I've figured it out now....unfortunately I lost about 3,000 pics some of which were my sisters .
Here's a reminder of what Booger looked like about 2 months ago .
Here...
I'll start first...I've been laid off for a year . Hubby was too , he had surgery in April and was released in July . He's now working in California , away from me while I'm taking care of our 36 acres ( 3 horses , 40 chickens , 2 dogs , 4 cats ) . Paying bills and find out we've been turned...
I'm completely lost on the whole editing my thread name to update...does that make sense ? I have a thread out that I want to update , but don't know how to change the title...any help or info would be greatly appreciated ! I can usually only get on the computer late at night , so I'm relying on...
Just thought I'd start a new thread..Boogers doing better....still not putting much weight on his leg , but the wound is filling in nice . His temps about 101.5 , so I have to monitor it everyday . I gave him Bute today...first he's had since friday....so it's just a waiting game now . I've...
Last friday my horse and a friends got caught up in our fence fighting with the neighbor horses . Took both to the vet and have been wrapping and medicating since then . My friends horse is looking better , but mine is now not putting any weight on the leg . Both horses were cut in the hock area...
I'll start this off by telling everyone that I had my friend move in about a month ago , she brought her horse here and I noticed a few hours later it had a tick on it . I thought it had probably come from the previous property she kept it on , so I didn't think too much about it .
