➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

[muddy75]

I have horrible news.


I will not be getting any real live Jumbo's from the set/batch.


Hours after the disaster I am still fuming mad and don't really want to talk about what happened.

The hatch is done before it's really done and I'm deleting this whole set from my app stats.

NONONOoooooo!!! i’m sooooo sorry! should not happen to you......

As long as it's Benny Hill, you have nothing to worry about!

idk who that is

All this unwelcome visitors and rifle talk makes me want to get conceal permit and buy a new revolver....hate living on a main road

You should

More comfortable yes; also safer... unless you try to control them.

True ha

If it’s a whole sentence you’re quoting, the period would be inside. If it’s just a word or phrase as (in this case) “family”, the quote marks would be followed by the period, comma, etc. You’re adding the quotation marks to show that the writer doesn’t want the reader to think he sees the relative(s) being spoken of as true family. The quote marks in this case don’t mean that the writer is actually quoting anyone, but they’re meant to say, “I don’t consider this person to be worthy of being referred to as my relative.”

The good news for you is that almost no one knows this stuff.

Thanks!! Useful and interesting.

Yeah, you can't choose your relatives.

Make sure that you read the fine print when applying for a conceal permit. Most have you agreeing to give up your right to own guns if you violate any condition of the permit.

Wow that’s really weird.

Visiting relatives in TX, we always met at a restaurant unless I was spending the night at their place.

I wish people would believe in biosecurity on my property, but no amount of telling them to cut it out has worked.

My side of the family was fine until my one sister suffered brain damage. Not sure how she got a concealed permit. She is officially out of my life forever. No way back in. She showed up without invitation (and as my closest relative, still lives over an hour away), began ringing the doorbells, pounding on the doors and windows, tried to break the doors in... It went on for a few hours. She then waited for me to open the door for the Schwans guy. He was more than willing to move aside to allow her access despite my telling her calmly to leave. I asked him to give me my food, and he said he wasn’t getting involved. I no longer get personal deliveries from him.
My sister made a lot of threats, and finally left after five hours. Anyone remember the 4-year-old I have here?
I can’t own a gun because I would have to use it on family.

That’s so weird to me since I always just go to everyone’s houses haha

The bio security thing makes sense though I guess. But none of our relatives or friends have birds so it’s not really a concern.

And sorry. That’s awful.

Depends on the style guide. I prefer to use British standards because it makes more sense. If you're quoting someone, put the period where it was be in the quote, but leave it outside if it's being added. Americans shove everything inside and it looks cluttered.

Americans do ruin everything.

Some use single quotes for emphasis and double for quotations. Some use single for both, or double for both. It gets confusing. Basically, do whatever you want because it's acceptable in some style guide somewhere, but do it consistently.

Just noticed the edit haha

This makes it even more confusing.

Y'all Texans are nuts, but I can see why. I've never had someone show up uninvited at this house, barring neighbours, of course. If I did, I might invest in a few security systems. Like spike pits. Or automated poison dart shooters. We've got e-mail these days---I expect people to use it!

And sometimes BYC automatically changes double quotes into single quotes.

Wow I never knew that.

I'm not in Texas and most visitors show up uninvited. Of course, most times is because they want to know if I will sell them something that I don't have advertised for sale. Or it could even be like last week when the neighbor wanted two horses buried.

Oh wow that’s annoying.

Really? Interesting. I was unaware BYC used any type of post checker.

X2

Did you save the skulls?

I hope so.

It might be as simple as them not properly recognizing the input from my browser but there have been times that it refused to accept a double quote mark and would only input the single quote mark. I have been able to get around it when it happens by copying the double quote from a WordPad document when it would not accept it from the keyboard.

Wow so weird.

No. They were her horses and considered pets or she would have just hauled them to the animal pit at the dump.

I do however have cat skulls.

Did you do it for her?

Cat skulls! Almost as neat as a horse.

Aw

Thank you for the lesson. Moved around a lot when in school. Inconsistency is probably why I had trouble. I thought it was the teachers. Then I find out the rules are in conflict. And the foundation crumbled.

I had no clue you are a headhunter. Interesting the things we learn. I find the bear skulls to be massive and massively interesting.

Oh wow I would be confused too. Didn’t know it changed so much.

Yes, punctuation is still about 1/3 personal preference, despite those that would wish a standard to be implemented.

Alas, I have no bear skulls. I would quite like one. I have seen several and their teeth impressed me.

Wow that’s so confusing lol

They do have nice teeth haha

Speaking with a coworker about moving farther out in the country and found out they previously lived there and were robbed repeatedly. See previous statements about people. Both work and had predictable schedules. So they moved into town. Don't like that either because of people. So they are trying to find a better area of country to move to. Prefer an area with good neighbors that doesn't flood.

While flooding is a concern, a single bad neighbor can ruin an otherwise lovely area. Eastern Houston is a flood plain. We grow a lot of rice. The high lands have been claimed.

Oh wow that is awful!!

X2 lol

I would love a cat skull! The ones I find are usually crushed or missing parts.

Aww.

Cat skulls are delicate. Not as delicate as a mouse or squirrel skull, but still touchy.

The chicken skulls are super neat. Delicate also. Lost a few from rough handling. We learn.

Huh neat.

There is a greater than zero chance we will end up shooting an unannounced visitor of the 400 lb, very hairy variety at some point in the next few years, but I am pretty sure they don't let you keep them here.

Also, that would make me sad. We're doing everything to avoid it. But the bastards unlatched and and opened my garage to feast on 22 birds and if I come home to them doing the same thing to my cats it's gonna get real.

Oh wow!!!

Ugh! Neighbors! Who can stand them?!?
But y'all are alright.

It's a beautiful day in this neighborhood,
A beautiful day for a neighbor,
Would you be mine? Could you be mine?

It's a neighborly day in this beautywood,
A neighborly day for a beauty,
Would you be mine? Could you be mine?

I have always wanted to have a neighbor just like you,
I've always wanted to live in a neighborhood with you.

So let's make the most of this beautiful day,
Since we're together, we might as well say,
Would you be mine? Could you be mine?
Won't you be my neighbor?

Won't you please, won't you please,
Please won't you be my neighbor?

practice more.

Oh jeeeez. I know somewhat of an expert so I'll ask her. She has crazy permits for every state and federal levels.

Good idea lol

If you don't have a conceal carry permit, it takes a felony to lose your right to own firearms. If you sign over your rights to have a conceal carry permit, a misdemeanor can cause you to lose your right to own firearms.

Fortunately Wyoming allows its citizens to carry concealed weapons without a permit.

Wow that is so ridiculous!!!

Am I the only one that gets a kick out of how R2Elk likes to remind us about following rules/laws. This cracks me up.

If you know what the rules and regulations are and their consequence, you know what to expect if you get caught breaking them. The first and most important rule is that ignorance of the law is not an acceptable defense in a court of law.

Very true!!

He's the fine print man

Seems so lol

I gotsted a runt. It is eating, but hangs back at first. I don’t see anyone picking at it.
I can’t find Band-aid. Either its bandages fell off, and it’s fine, or I’m repeatedly catching one twice.

@KDOGG331 i wish I could respond to as many quotes in one post as you do but haven’t figured it out yet
I was afraid when @007Sean made reference to Benny hill that there were very few of us here age enough to get the reference so if you are under 40 no worries about not getting it....but nowadays there’s always google and YouTube hahaha

There aren't any directions for quail eggs so I'm making it up as I go.

And I’ll Google it!! Lol
