I am thinking Lyme Disease.

Have you already tested positive?

 

[Shadrach]

Well, not exactly. I have helped pull calves before, but never on my own If it's really cold (freezing tails, ears, feet - cold) or there's a problem, like last night, I generally wield towels and a blow dryer to get the babe dried off. Which, if you haven't attempted to dry a fresh newborn covered in fur, it's much more challenging than you'd think We've got a pretty good set-up for a warming room, though. Good facilities make everything much easier.

I have helped deliver calves many years ago and was doing the midwife bit for the ewes here for a few years.
I get into trouble with my daughters who tell me I show more interest in every other creatures babies.
I've got to admit, I have no defense against this accusation.

The Duggars have 19 and they all have J names

The youngest is 10 and I think the oldest is 31 or something like that.

And they were all homeschooled.

They had a TV show but I think it was cancelled but they may have another one now.

Of course the older ones now are mostly married and/or have kids of their own so.... family is still growing.

Said they mostly bought used, thrift stores and such. Some of the older ones never went to college. But still must be crazy expensive.

There's always room to try harder, but we can't help who we are. I prefer the company of animals to people (as a general rule) and always have. Could be as simple as: I'm not real chatty. Too much conversation wears me out. That's not to say I don't like people, I certainly do

Just for clarification I don’t watch the show or keep up with them regularly or anything like that.

I just remembered there was a show I used to watch with tons of kids years ago and Googled it/researched them to find out if they were the ones I was thinking of which is how I learned most of this

I would never have that many kids! I have thought about 3-5 but thought even 5 was a lot! Can’t imagine 19.

They said they were originally thinking 2-3 when they first got married but decided to let God decide how many kids they would have or some such thing.

Nice sentiment I suppose but can you imagine going out to dinner or on vacation with that many kids!?

I guess they must not go out to dinner ever but still.

Family get togethers!? Holidays!? Their weddings!?

Can you imagine buying Christmas and birthday presents for that many kids!?

Sorry, I’ll stop now.

I don't think I'm very well.
I've cooked a 6 portion pot of stew, made 4 portions of leek, potato and wild boar soup, prepared a tuna and avocado bake and I'm thinking about making some meringues.

Almost forgot the blue cheese mashed potato.

As long as you don't eat it all in the same sitting I think you're doing good.

Preparing for an army, Shad? I bet it'll be nice to have leftovers!

What all goes into the tuna/avocado bake? Besides the obvious, course

It sounds like a party at the Cafe!
