LOL I see you hold the same high oppinion as I about my fellow Okies. True The town is dead on Sunday and also the rest of the week, they roll up the streets at 5:00pm. Now they do own gun's, good ones too and a $40,000.00 shiney new pick up trucks with all the bells & redneck whistles, but their homes look like the Clampit's minus Elley May LOL. I see you got first hand look at Okie commerce in the pawn shop's, junk brings a premium price round these parts, we got no need for that new fangled stuff anywhoo LOL. Phone booths are still all the rage round here, H3ll they just got them installed now we just have to figure out how to count all Dem number thangs on the box, dagnabitt what will those rascals come up with next by george.

I did find the one and only Bar there in Shawnee Walt but it's dang near 10 miles outside of town, it was ok and got better after a few drinks, you just have to be carefull not to use any big words when your there, or you might get socked in the nose LOL.

"SAturday night in Toledo Ohio is like being nowhere at all you sit all through the day how the hours rush by you sit in the park and you watch the grass die
Aww but after the sun sets the dust and the twilight when shadows of night start to fall they roll back the sidewalks precisely at 10 and people who live there are not seen again
just two loney truckers from Great Falls Montana and a salesman from places unknown all huddled together in downtown Toledo to spend their big night on the town!
You aske how I know of Tloedo Ohio, well I once spent a week there one day. Theyve got entertainment to dazzle your eyes go visit the bakery and watch the pies rise"
Aw lets not forget that the folks of Toledo unselfishly gave us the scale with no springs, honest weight, thats the promise they made so smile and be thankful next time you get weighed
and live and let live let this be our motto lets let sleeping dogs lie and heres to the dogs of Toledo Ohio ladies we bid you goodnight!" -John Denver

Oh, sorry I got in a reverie there thinking about small towns. lol. Heres the new window.

Yeah well to get a picture downloaded that I can put here I need to take it with my phone and upload it to facebook first so at the moment I dont have the kahoonas to get you a picture of the front of the coop. Im working through it though with 1-800- therapy. Maybe if I use the camera I can skip showing everyone that I know ncluding past coworkers, my husbands' friends, high school sweethearts.... lol The carpenter is going to trim it Sunday and caulk for me. I asked him what his ideas were cause he said he could trim it up for us....
yeah he said "I could help you lay it out better and make it more user friendly and less work for you"
I was like "you mean more erganomic?" And he said "yeah exactly." lol. Had a good laugh on that note!

there was no wet spot in my bed this morning because cross beak had a diaper on. i made an appointment with the vet to have surgery done to correct her beak. it is not the 4400.00 surgery that bothers me. it is the emotional scaring that it will leave her with. i just hope the other birds won't make fun of her.

on a serious note i would have slaughtered her long ago but she gets along fine and lays a very nice pinkish egg. so at this time no harm no dead fowl.you can bet if the time comes where she can't get along or stops laying she will be some type of food. it could be soup, dog ,cat or chicken feed either way she is food.

for all the bleeding hearts, my chickens love a good chicken dinner

I am as we speak going to organize a community outreach charity program to aid in financing her delicate plastic surgery and with the proper prostetic beak implant she will be a productive member of the flock for at least a few more day's. I have Oprah & Dr Phil on the phone and they have agreed to a one hour special about her, to raise awareness of how important it is socialy comfort these unfortunate chickens, so they need not be bullied when they return to the flock. Of course they only agreed to that after the whacko girls from the View had already booked them on their show, A gaggle of animal behaviorist have also stepped forward to offer their services in her emotional rehab. I feel so much better to been able touch the heart of just one more Foo-Foo bird and Foo-Foo birds all over the world in this trying time. Time magizines e-mail to me reads that they were so happy to name her Foo-Foo Chicken of the year, what an amazing honor.

I understand that there is now a class action suit being filed in federal court in Ohio to support Foo Foo Birds in their quest for damages. If you or a loved one is a Foo Foo Bird, please call 1-800-make-doh and join the class action suit.
