    Beyond pissed with mortgage company

    When dealing with a mortgage company, especially a big one, keep it simple. Make no changes to the original terms. Refinancing...varying additional principal amounts...paying from different accounts...paying by different methods...accepting any type of offers from the company...etc...are all...

    Chicken books -- do you have any?

    The usual modern day poultry books are...fair. I've got them. But the best books are the ones published in the 30's and 40's. You can get them if you try. Reasonably priced too. The 1930's and 40's were the heyday of small family farms raising eggs and poultry for the national market. Many...

    What is wrong with our universities?

    I don't understand why students rioted when Paterno was dismissed. He had a fatherly reputation to live up to, and he had the power to stop the abuse then and there. He didnt.....and more boys were molested. And now they protest his firing?? Whats with that?? Many of these rioting students must...

    Stealin' my customer!!

    It's not stealing or unethical in any way. It's just business. The other supplier may have a molt or slow period too, so call the buyer and inform her that your eggs may be avaible if or when it happens to your competition. spot

    Plumbing conundrum

    Never use Drano (or anything like it) in a septic system. Never. It will ruin or damage the microbial process of the system. spot

    I think we got ripped off....by a "friend"??

    "Buying on Time" is one of the best ways to kill a friendship. I've seen this situation go bad so many times. I have sold goods to friends, my well known policy is "CASH UP FRONT, CASH ONLY!" By cash, I do not mean a personal check...it's ridiculus to accept a check from anyone so short on...

    If you want to be respected as an adult.... (Warning: Rant enclosed)

    Yeah, I remember school as monotonous, especially English class. But you know what? I'd give $1000 to go back in time 35 years to that same English class...for even 10 minutes! Myself and my classmates as we were back then... spot

    Selling Eggs

    Cleanliness and Uniformity! Cleanliness - No need to wash or rinse. Eggs are naturally clean when laid. Just keep living quarters and nesting material clean and 90% of your eggs will be clean. If they are not clean, for whatever reason, keep them for other uses, don't sell to the public...

    Seriously? >_>

    Good deal! Two people enthusiastic about the same subject! It is not the flock size that counts...Right? .......Right? It is the common interest you both have. Kudo's to your uncle for seeing that. Buy him a beer. spot

    Do those plug-in "sonic" rodent repellents really work??

    Sometimes the mice get annoyed having to climb over them and move on to another location. Same as humans, they prefer the easiest way to travel. spot

    Furnace issues! I need some help here.

    Right what Orchid said about a furnace guy instead of a chimney guy. (There's such a thing as a chimney guy?) Sometimes a furnace will have a label with the installing companys name/address/phone. They should get your first call. spot

    The Oh-so neighbor!

    Farm sounds/smells/sights are to be expected when living in the country. Yet neighbors should be considerate of one another, regardless of where they live. Going back to the original post....if your neighbor was really annoyed at your rooster, I'd say he handled it better than most people would...

    Eggs in the office rant

    Sounds like it was the feather that upset the co-worker? Some people are like that, including me. Been eating and selling farm fresh eggs the majority of my life... and I love 'em!... But NO...I do not want to find a feather in a carton of eggs. Or with any chicken prepared for eating. Feathers...

    justin bieber is no good

    To my ears, Bieber isn't a good singer. And is it just me, or does that young man seem oddly feminine?? Sort of reminds me of Leif Garrett in the 70's. Pretty....not much talent....but popular with the young girls. A creation of the music/marketing industry. spot

    piercings and tattoos for them or against them?

    Tala...I agree with your comments about my generalizing on post #212. I only describe my experience on this subject. Employers make a substantial investment in each person they hire...so yes, they do "play the odds", or "make generalizations" when interviewing. This will not guarantee a good...

    piercings and tattoos for them or against them?

    Tattoos are just a fad. Their popularity will diminish like all other fads. (afro's, polyester clothes, platform shoes, etc.) I do the occaisional job interview and tattoos, piercings, saggy pants and hoodies make a bad impression during the process. Those types have been hired before and we...
