Room temperature. Believe me I was tempted.

Ohhh that is tempting. I have only seen them in the refrigerator section at stores around here.

Yes you spelled it wrong but do does she. It is Conan.

Ah okay. I thought that’s what it was but then it was spelled differently in the username so I went with that.

I'm scared to.

Lol it’s... interesting.

Glad it’s not just me that didnt know lol

X2

No. Everyone is older than you.

Nuh uh. Tes, Prairie, Cy, etc. are younger

Damn it K.
You know I am going to seriously bother you now don't you?
Brush your damn teeth daily!

Counting on it! I need to be bothered ha

Life is good!


I have deep litter in the hen house and concrete in the brooder room. Rooms are connected thru a doorway. Wood shaving on concrete helps keep floor clean and warm in winter. Composting deep litter in henhouse helps provide heat in there during the winter. Compost gets hauled to the garden in spring and the process starts again....leaves, chips, shavings, straw, garden weeds, etc.


I was raised with the schedule...chores or daily tasks are done before play. And if something important comes up to change the day, then chores still had to be done before going to bed.
Mom would break up some tasks...like dust one day a week, vacuum another day. Laundry...one load a day.
Big rules...
If you get it out, put it back where it goes when done.
No clothes or shoes left out...put away before bedtime.
Energize your task with music.


It is hard to get motivated if a job looks too big to tackle. Break it up into smaller bites.
I make a list of tasks to get done in a week so I can plan ahead. And one for the month.
On big tasks I make sub notes on bite size portions and then check them off when completed. This works with spring cleaning, gardening, regular housework, big meal preparation like Thanksgiving.
Rewards for job completions could be your IPad or something important to you.

Thanks for the reminder/quoting that one, it definitely is overall, and thanks! This is helpful! That sounds super organized lol but that’s a good idea. I think I am going to try it. Idk if I can be quite that organized but will try

Nope! @Tesumph is younger.

Yup! And prairie.

Chores are not an option here.
Neither is homework but it makes it super easy because it was never an option.

The Mex has a bad habit of leaving a dirty dish in my sink. He gets reminded often, I swear I don't understand how he forgets with my constant reminders.

Little boys (the Mini) are not fans of baths or brushing teeth but that is not an option either. One must just suffer through it, daily.

Girls with not find their forever prince or princess if they have stinking breath.

Surprisingly it somehow doesn’t smell that bad but I’m definitely trying to brush more

She doesn't count.

Why?

As a person who didn't take good care of my teeth, I can guarantee that the results of poor dental care are not what anyone wants to experience.

She needs to brush her teeth at least two times a day or she will lose them. Her sweet tooth makes the not brushing even worse.

Yeah, the sweet tooth part is especially bad. But oddly whenever I go to the dentist, they always say they look really good, last time they said they were like some of the best they’d seen, which I don’t really see how that’s possible when this has been going on for years and also often I don’t even brush them until the night before and morning of appointments/brush a ton that day. And usually say I’ve been using them and using the prescription enamel toothpaste when I haven’t been doing either.... so either I have REALLY good teeth or they are not the best dentists.... they are really nice and all but shouldn’t they be able to tell if I am not taking care of my teeth? Especially when they bleed profusely every single time I get them cleaned? I don’t get it.

Kelsey better watch it I am this close to kidnapping her.

Lol I would actually like that because it might help me change/give me a kick in the ass plus I could finally meet you and also see your adorable quailies and doggies and of course the fam and most importantly, I want to get tf out of here anyway lol

I did not mention the other one that is also younger because I haven't seen her on this thread since shortly after you told her to go hang out with someone else.

I have seen them around on a few other threads but for a while they did leave the site i think but they seem better now

I think Kelsey needs to feel a real tooth ache pain...just once.

That should wake her up.

I am already paranoid after reading yesterday/looking at my teeth.

Nah, it didn't work for me even after the dentist chewed me out for waiting until I couldn't tolerate it anymore.

Oh wow!

I think tooth pain might just be the worst pain in the world.
A thousand times worst then squeezing a watermelon out a little hole.

Sounds awful.

Habits are extremely hard to break BUT they are breakable.

Very true! I think they say it takes 21 days to break a habit right? Or maybe to form a new one? Either way, I need to keep at this stuff then and not just quit after 3 days or a week lol

I cannot believe they labeled this as archaic. Moll is one I don't recognize. Floozie is common. Cocotte is high fashion. Trollop must be the total opposite of an internet troll.

We welcome all kinds here. Some more than others.

Oh wow lots of terms for it lol

Nope. Gall stones were far worse.

Sounds awful!

You have my condolences. I'd say have a drink, but that is thought to contribute.

X2

Even that did not help to ease the pain.

Oh wow! Must have been bad pain.

I was foolish in my youth with my teeth and now am paying the price

I need to start taking better care of them for sure! But oddly they never seem to say anything when I go

Now I feel dirty for knowing what it meant.

Lol just well read

Just means you are well read and have a large vocabulary.

X2 i need to read more lol

Or that you know Conan.

This morning's visitors.

Gorgeous pictures! Are those deer? Elk?

I've never once been paid. Not once! A real oversight, if you ask me.

I have actual nightmares about my teeth crumbling. I take excellent care of them, but I don't go to the dentist often. I didn't go for eleven years once and I only had a start of a cavity on one tooth.
Teeth, people! BRUSH THEM. FLOSS THEM.

Eleven years!? Wow! I usually go every 6 months like they say to but they never tell me my teeth are bad, in fact they say they look good, even if i lie and say ive been brushing but havent except that day!

But i need to brush more and floss and use mouth wash

Prairie is younger too I believe?

Yup

Gorgeous!

X2

Thank you.

You are a great photographer

I’ve always known it was back there. Just didn’t need it until now.


dont forget me, turning 20 in March


I know what coryza is, but thanks. It wouldn’t be a lot of shavings just to let you know.


Thank you! I’m excited for it. If it wasn’t out in the pasture/loafing area I would say we could but a run off of it but the horses would try to knock it over.


Yep!


x2! I’m extremely jealous of his photo-taking skills.

I didn’t forget you! You and Tes were the main ones I thought of! Lol and my birthday is in March too!

Me too lol

That's true. I didn't think about that. I keep saying that I am going to go talk to someone about what exactly the laws are and what my rights are etc. Not to get the law involved but for education purposes. I understand that the laws are mainly in place to protect farms and farmers but surely there are instances where reasonable responsibility and negligence become factors as well. I need to know where those lines are. And we're probably going to have some tough talks in the future. It's a really nice day today in TN so the animals are more active and wanting to enjoy it.

I would have suggested at least calling animal control from the first incident with the cows because even if you don’t have the ACO come out, they will at least have a record of every time they came over, so that by the third time or whatever they may have gotten a warning or fine. But now it might be a bit late for that since you have already have a ton of instances of loose animals. But I think I would still start calling AC now to inform them and maybe if you can, try to take pictures with dates of the goats and any other animals so you have proof that they were on your property and you could try to record you telling them about their animals. I would basically just try to document everything in case you ever do need to take legal action but hopefully it will not come to that. But you should start a paper trail so to speak.

Have you chewed on them in your dreams?
I wake up checking my mouth.

Oh wow

 

[R2elk]

Wow! You always have the best photos.

Thank you.

Mule deer bucks. My avatar is a bull elk.

You are a great photographer

Thank you.

Oh we have cameras set up to look out at various parts of our property. One that looks down our driveway, one for our front yard, one for the chicken area and one for the dog pen. We do need to maybe adjust them a bit. We've been talking about getting a couple more of one kind we have. The camera setups allow us to keep a recording or take pictures. We will keep documenting.

Thank you. These were taken with an Olympus E-5 DSLR. It has been out of production since 2013. Olympus abandoned their DSLR line in favor of their micro line up that use electronic viewfinders instead of optical viewfinders and are tiny in comparison.

They know that you aren't taking proper care of your teeth. If you begin a proper tooth care regimen, your gums won't bleed when you get your teeth cleaned.

No matter how well your teeth are doing, you can lose all of them due to gum disease if you don't start taking care of them. My ex wife lost all of her teeth in her mid twenties due to gum disease. Having to wear dentures from such a young age is not fun.

Yes, this exactly.

Gum disease is no joke. My grandmother, who passed away in 2004, did not take good care of her teeth, and smoked for most of her life (and had Alzheimer’s but that’s irrelevant) she couldn’t speak very well because she lost her teeth by not taking care of them. All of her children (my aunts and uncles) take good care of their teeth to avoid it.
