My condolences for Susan. Before I forget... You need a good, sturdy hoe. Strong handle and sharp blade. You can put a hurting on a "critter" with a good hoe. While waiting for my son's bus this morning I kept thinking you need a good hoe close at hand. Maybe even near the back door! Ok, get...

NH, one thing to remember about wormers: some (most?) are a type of poison. The trick is to kill the worms and leave the host healthy. For this reason, worming (or, rather, treating for worms) is hard on the host. Susan was feeling bad. You gave her a dose of wormer. Expect her to feel yucky...

Quote: How about Josephine and Catherine? An empress and a czarina (France and Russia). I also like Elizabeth I. She was the most important woman in the world in her lifetime. Then you have Victoria. She was called Empress of India in addition to her British titles. Need any more royal...

Quote: A gift that goes over well with school teachers is a selection of tea bags. You need the individual wrapped tea bags. I like to get a dozen different varieties of tea. If every box has 20 bags, I can make 10 gift containers. Special holiday flavors, stuff you would not normally buy...

Gavin, I give thanks for all the people that worked today so I could travel safely. The ladies at Waffle House on I-95 were very pleasant. I gave thanks for all the police officers I passed, especially because they stayed parked... When the folks in the slow lane are doing 80, there's no reason...

Quote: In monsoon and blizzard contiditions I have been know to park one of the vehicles at the bus stop to wait out of the nastiness. Our driveway is rather long. I'm not the only parent that does this around here. Hey, forgive the bus driver this time. Sounds like they were having a...

Sounds like Ivan wouldn't do so great around here. Escaping (daily) is the favorite game of my birds. He sounds wonderful. I hope you can find him a home with no other roosters.

Quote: Annnnd the mister is what breed? I have three roosters that free range. Another two fly out for day and put themselves up at night. These roosters all get along and have two acres to get away from each other when someone is grumpy. If your guy is a Shamoo(?) like I'm thinking, I'd...

Quote: Nah, try Queen Elizabeth II. Running away now.....

We save our egg shells and I don't have the time nor patience for baking them. Couple of weeks ago I fed some old eggs to the hens. I scrambled them with garlic and red pepper. I think Hubby wanted some when he walked past, lol. I crush the egg shells into something like that. An old pot of...

Bhep, I think it was another school shooting. Stupid copycat kids. It was mentioned on the news. I was half asleep. I hope no one gets horribly offended and I hate to hear of anyone getting hurt or killed. I'll try to stay off the soapbox, but my views on gun control have to do with sheep and...

Quote: Back before cell phones (we all remember those days, right?) I had the NON-emergency police number memorized. It was answered by the 911 operator, but they appreciated "I have a question" calls there rather than 911. I reported all sorts of things that I would never think to call 911...

Quote: I must say I'm thankful to not have dealt with one of those yet. The first thing that springs to mind is perhaps a varient of "the dog killed the chicken so tie the dead chicken to his collar for a week". People will probably think that is cruel, but my father did that to a boxer mix...

Quote: Winner gets a cake? Oh, and not until the baby is more than a month old. Gotta give Momma a chance to rest up after that "labor". For that matter, the "winner" needs to pick up in person and bring either a chicken gift or a baby gift. Wait. That sounds like a swap! Anyway, that's a...

Quote: But listen Ruthann, they do that before they lay too. the roos will join in with the soon to be hens. These noises basically translate as: Hen - "HeyEverybodyGuessWhat, ILaidAn EGG!!!" Rooster - "HeyEverybodyGuessWhat, MyWomanLaidAn EGG!" My roosters also used to make a noise that...

My children and I believe in the Bugs Bunny/Daffy Duck method from the Snowman episode: "I will hold him and hug him and I will call him 'George'....." Our roosters use the "limp noodle" defense in return. If they go limp and floppy enough, the kids will put them down. My brother (their Uncle...

Quote: Hmm, sounds like time for a road trip to Matt's house!!! I can bring my tent and camp out in the yard... But seriously, can you share with us (me!) the proportions for the pink layer? How much cream cheese? Sugar? Etc. That looks like something I'd like to try to make. Thank you!

Ginger is great! Ever try pickled ginger from the Asian food section? NH, try peppermints. Check the ingriedents for real peppermint oil. The small dose of sugar will help settle your tummy. Get some catnip tea. You drink the tea. Tink gets the damp tea bag. She will love you for it! Catnip...

I plan to stand on my back porch and yell at the birdbrains to "Get back in your houses!" They already live in pens that have bird netting on top (to make them stay put). The four biggest houses are raised and offer some space beneath to roll in dust or lay in the mud, as the case may be, lol...

Quote: You might want to wash all your laundry now. Hurricane Hugo taught me that. Once utilities were restored we had "pine needle water" to wash our clothes in. Big time nasty. Supposedly it wash fine to drink or brush teeth with. Anyway, I tell people to turn their freezer and fridge to...
