➡I accidentally bought Balut eggs: 2 live ducks! Now a Chat Thread!

[NanaKat]

I'm catching up so some these responses might be really old...

I do know that if it ever got out that my husband would not hesitate to go catch it because he has picked up black widows before without hesitation... He has zero fear of spiders.

I was scared of spiders before I met him, but I think it was more because my mom is scared of them so it rubbed off onto me. Now I don't mind them.

My mother was a 6th grade science teacher and had tarantulas and snakes in her classroom...aquariums with tight fitting screen tops.

I'm not good at names, but I'd do a pair name... My birds were Daphne and Fred. They came with those names when we adopted them.

I had a bantam pair named Fred (Astair) and Ginger (Rogers).

When I got my beagle she was 3 years old and she used to bite so hard she would draw blood. She was an "outdoor" dog that no one paid attention to. She didn't even know how to play, it was very sad.

Our adopted Rhodesian Ridgeback Ruby Rose was 4 when we got her. Ruby did not know how to play at all! She also had never been exposed to other animals, equipment sounds, or allowed to run free without a leash. At 6 in February, Ruby now carries around her favorite toy rabbit, gets really excited when we mention a ride in the Ranger to a back pasture for a run and no longer gets spooked by the sound of farm equipment, etc.

It would not have been the first time I have seen a nekked boob while in a store.

. Only in a Walmart or a state fair. I hate seeing butt cracks.

This morning a buyer for a poultry butcher came to pick up all 42 of my ducks. And he also bought 41 cockerels.
With the remodel, butchering and canning is not in the near future. I can do that next fall.

A friend came to pick up two trios of my Columbian Wyandotte sorted breeders.
Now I'm down 83 mouths to feed in the poultry pens.
Oops, one duck was hiding sitting on eggs! She is now a lone duck. Need to make a decision about her eggs.

Worked on cleaning the floor in the brooder room (concrete) and the hen house (Deep litter). Got about 1/2 done before dark.

Back hurts and I've got a stuffy head from all the dust and dander.
Going to bed early. See you again in the morning.

Conan thinks that cilantro tastes like soap.
She's weird.

Certain foods smell like Clorox bleach to me...

They are beautiful!! I tried to talk DH into a trip to Jackson today as online they said they had the diamond dove I’ve been looking for but the old grump said no!

I would go drive myself.

I always think I want all these gadgets and stuff but then I never use any of them.

I just fall for the advertising and how it’s the greatest thing ever. Well.... everything is apparently the greatest thing ever according to them.

But I am a bit of a lazy cook sometimes so if I used them, some of them do seem quite convenient.

I do like counter space too though and when I do actually cook, it seems like we never have enough cause we have so much stuff, but I do want more gadgets. We don’t really have any, just a million freakin pots and pans and I only like using certain ones haha they all take up so much room. If it was up to me I’d have like one

I opened a bag of shredded cheese tonight and it overwhelmingly smelled like bleach. It was bizzarre.
I have some funky synesthesia and often smell things that I'm reading or thinking about, but my husband said it smelled nasty too so I wasn't crazy this time.

What! Inconceivable. How dare he. I saw doves at the pet store whilst I was picking these dudes out. I quite wanted them.

For some reason, sandwiches made of fresh bread smell overpoweringly like rubbing alcohol to me.

When I was making sourdough bread, I had no trouble smelling and tasting the alcohol in it that the yeast produced.

Definitely true in that instance.

Lucy doesn't understand toys at all. The only time she plays with toys is if she's stealing them from the other dogs to tease them. Right now she's sleeping under my new cheetah plush blanket my parent bought me for Christmas. It's her new favorite thing...
