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

Neither did I, but just like the wonders of Vic's vapor rub, the fear of the almighty chancla(slipper), and all of the suspect concoctions I've consumed over the years in claims of being a cure all, I don't question my mother. I just let it go, it's safer for my mental health.

On another note, my grandmother (mom's mom) is apparently sending me a statue of some saint that I'm supposed to place (I kid you not) upside down, until he brings me a man. So at least she comes by her crazy honestly.

We plant St. Joseph upside down in the front yard here to sell a home quickly. LOL Is she Catholic?

I think you should write a book of musings and short stories. I'd read it.

Me too!

 

[Glitterchicks]

I swallow them whole.

Smoked oysters are the best! On Ritz crackers. Hubbs thinks i'm disgusting.

I would've died! Granny got game!

I almost died on the spot. I didn't say a word for maybe 10 minutes. Total shock.

I lost it at this. I can’t even explain to my husband why I’m hysterically laughing.

I wish I could tell some of my cow rancher in-law stories. I don’t think they’re BYC safe lmao.

They are safe.

 

[Glitterchicks]

They are safe.

I agree x2

Yes she's SUPER Catholic! I'm Christian though so I don't really understand all the saint things. Every time she visits we get rosaries, statutes, little verses etc. She also gave my sister a potted plant that was supposed to guarantee pregnancy. My sister doesn't want children and she was just starting to date.

LOL.
This one isn’t so bad. My bachelorette was super tame, bunch of church friends and homeschool moms who taught me through highschool and still saw me as a kid (this was the party my mom threw for me, FYI). It was very quiet and awkward, no one knew me “that way.”

My MIL gets up to give me her present, winks and proudly says “you’ll love it, it’s practical for riding horses AND riding cowboys.”
Then someone gave me an “article of clothing” that was red plaid. My sister in laws made lumberjack “handling wood” jokes for the rest of the night.
One of them gave me chains. Literal body chains. It was a very long uncomfortable silence of everyone staring while I tried to figure out what they were and where they went.

Wouldn’t have been so bad if all the other moms weren’t too prude to laugh. I was in tears and red as a beet.

This broody has been off her eggs AGAIN and we are on Day 19. It’s not even hot out today. Another hen got them all poopified because she wouldn’t stay on them and let them walk all over the nest but I can’t clean them off without risking her not staying on them. She’s been broody for close to two months now because she’s been failing at her job and none of them have made it. She’s such a mean hen as it is, constantly chasing our young ones around when she’s off the nest. If these don’t hatch I’m just going to let her sit on nothing until she gives up or dies. Never getting Marans again, that’s for sure.
