LOLOL!!! Could it be that he doesn't like my daughter because his favorite lady LOVES my daughter. When she goes outside, the hen runs up to her and wants to be held and cuddled...every time. Could it be that he is jealous? Or possessive?

The pronoun is "he", right? 'Nuff said.

Rufus, thanks for the rooster advice. I will try that.

I can't believe there are homeless people in your alley! YIKES! Is it possible to help them? Is there a shelter close by? I know it is so difficult since most of them are suffering from alcoholism or mental illness. It is just SO sad!!!

I hope your son gets to feeling better soon!

Hrm... I wouldn't go that far. When I graduated college everything had crashed, and I couldn't find a job. We ended up on foodstamps for a year. I was already so humiliated I used a credit card to pay with groceries half of the time anyways. I think I would have killed myself if they had to send someone to check on my ability to decide what was best to feed my kid. I wouldn't want to do that to someone else.

I do think that there should be guidelines (or maybe suggestions) that a certain percentage should be spent on each food group. Or maybe just more information provided to people on proper nutrition. Maybe even an hour long crash course on nutrition.

I've met many people on foodstamps, including one that was taking advantage of the system (she wasn't buying drugs. She was buying groceries for someone in exchange for money, which went to her rent. She was more concerned about having a place to live than eating).

Most seemed like good people and many were in the same crappy situation that I was. Some were on the dumber side of things, but meant well.

Arrows, yes there is a shelter down the street, but they enforce standards that these people can't or don't want to comply with. Some would rather live in alleys than be told what and when to do something.

We never take garbage to the alley alone. It is really scary.

Our neighborhood did not use to be a bad place, but now it seems like every other house is vacant, and a lot of those occupied are up for sale. I saw one that is an exact copy of mine for sale for $24,000 cash. It was just two blocks south of us. We went to look at it to see if it would be suitable for my youngest son.

That is when the kids said that they really didn't want to live in this neighborhood, and they don't want me and my wife here either.

I don't know how things could go so bad so fast. I guess I am just too old to grasp the reality of the situation.

Oh, how awful! I'm sorry, Rufus.

What can you do when housing prices drop like that? And it doesn't sound like you would be able to sell anyway. Be careful!!

I almost came home from Pet Club today with a few chicks. Logic kicked in though, and I came home empty handed.

They had PRs, EEs, and Black Stars from Ideal.
