Sorry to hear that SC. How are you doing today?I'm not sure. I had a big ol' glass of pure lemon juice yesterday![]()
Passed something during the night, but not a stone. Something kind of gritty, but I could roll it into a ball. Seemed more like tissue. At any rate, I'm not hurting this morning, so![]()
Who doesn't?![]()

We have had luck with using a shop vac to get most the water out and then renting some drying fans. You have to drape the carpet up on something like a buckets or back of chairs and let it dry all the way out.he worked yesterday so I had to clean it up!
I soaked as much as I could with towels and covers and washed them and repeated and repeated then finally sprayed with Fabreze but it still smells. oh and had the ceiling fans on and all other fans I could drag down on it too. Its a tan carpet so I may attempt a rental cleaner with a tad bleach before I rip it out, mom just said she heard of that at cabins so we can attempt it at a last resort.
kids stuff I dont care about, they have enough other stuff upstairs yet. the couch cushions are not washable or bleachable as its chocolate in color. it WAS brand new!!! wonder if homeowners would cover anything, I think I can at least call and talk to them Monday
Sorry to hear about the mixed up eggs Rossfam.So she is trying to make it right by talking to a friend of hers who is closer to me and seeing if she is willing to trade 2 legbar hens for my 2 alsteirer hens.
Final update on my hatch last week. 12 hatched out of 14 good eggs. One did expire already. It pipped externally and then dried out so we helped it out. It had curled feet. It died a day later. So we have 11 new chicks on the ground. I need to get a good pic of the group. 6 yellow, 5 Marans chick color (one died) and 1 grey chick patterned like a Marans. Interesting. And a few of them have feathered shanks.
Of the eggs left I did candle them and one had internally pipped. Sad too, you could see the scratches on the inside of the egg where it failed to pip externally. I'm just not going to look or help anymore. I'm going full blue from now on. It sucks to have the kids see the curled footed chicks scream and then finally die.
ETA: I think the two had issues from the temp drops.
