Live a long time, I need someone around, to keep on teasing my posts! :lau :hugs
I need to create my chicken empire lol. We got the big fort to our house. I’ll ask my husband to text me the picture of our setup later once we extend the fencing more today. We have a ton of wild strawberries growing where the extended fencing is going so my chickens will be happy later today.
 
Isn't it ironic, that as we raise our children, we want to hear their first words, and watch their first steps. But later, we want them to sit down, and be quiet? :confused: :p
I like when you have a conversation with your kid and all the while you're thinking he/she gets it. That they may infact see the forest for the trees. It gives a parent hope that they'll be ok on their own and not walking blindly

Once they are teens, you want to somehow see if the remote mute button will work on them.

Yesterday my two boys were fighting over a sprinkled donut. The youngest claimed it but the oldest wasn’t with us when he did. Of course the oldest grabbed that exact donut 🍩 The youngest decided he was going to fight it from his brothers hand... Oh the joys of boys. I’d rather their bickering and fighting than a teen girls moodiness. After that was done and over with the youngest grabbed his flaming hot Cheetos and decided those were better.

They definitely bicker a lot more with no school. They are saying they are doing school online in the fall too where we are. I hope my kids don’t fall behind because what is being required now is the bare minimum.
 
Well, I overdid it yesterday and I'm not even doing the crazy fitness challenges.
Since we seem ( :fl ) to finally be past the crazy late spring freezes I went ahead and put a large portion of the garden seeds in. I've been starting starts in the house since late Feb of the cold hardy stuff, but have had to wait and thus get a late start (late for my location) on the more summery items.

Once I get some more of the groundhog fence up, the rest of the squashes, pumpkins, and heat loving stuff will go in. I broke down and ordered some electric netting because where the garden is will be very hard to permanently fence around and put a gate. Not to mention the netting will be great for double duty with the chickens in the off season.
It's mean, but personally I will feel very satisfied when the little **** zaps himself trying to climb over or dig under this fence. Aside from a full concrete bunker the groundhogs here have gotten over, under, or through everything I have tried so far.
I need my veggies this year!

Anywho, Mr Roo is doing his thing and I'm getting bullseye eggs already so it's a good day to spend playing with the incubator for a dry run and reading hatching threads. Last day of the heat wave here too. 84 yesterday, though real feel was 90, and another hot one today...however I'm not ready to have to run the AC yet!
 
It’s horrible! We have no “health care system” We have a health care industry tied to an insurance industry. Americans are the only people in the developed world who go bankrupt from medical bills.
So happy to hear someone else think this way too! Open up your Sunday papers and look at all the foreclosures on people's homes. Almost all from the medical community! A system designed to take all you worked for all your life, cuz after all everyone is going to get old and sick. Quite a racket!

Seems you are kinda stuck! They need schooling. and you can't expel them from "home" :th
 
It’s why I eat the way I do. I feel the more Whole Foods I eat the better I’m making my body. I have been sharing salads with the bunnies 😂 we have salad dates outside together. Oh the life I have right now... I wouldn’t trade it for anything
I see autocorrect just automatically assumed you meant the store 😂🤣😂

Salad dates!! I love that!!! Haha
"A bit"?????

Really?????

So. It's now "2 nights worth of sleep" since the manic fitness challenge.... How ya doing now??? Lactic acid subsided yet? Drank enough water, electrolytes, & anti-inflammatory stuff to walk semi-erect now?
:lau :gig :lau

I’ve barely gotten any sleep ;)

You don’t wanna know how late I was up till last night lol

And NOPE!!! Still super duper sore 😭😭

That’s it! Years so my husband got laid off and we had no health insurance. One Friday afternoon he got his hand mangled scooping brush into a chipper. He spent all night in the ER in the hallway at Harborview Medical Center waiting to be seen. They finally admitted him, put him in a room to wait for a surgeon to have time. It was 1 pm the next day when they took him into surgery. He was sent home soon after.
We filled out so many forms and talked to social workers etc... The final bill was the exact same amount in his 401k.

He did heal, remained employed the rest of his career but the retirement plans were radically altered. They took it all! We are all only a bad broken leg away from poverty.
 
We had a fairly brief period, years ago, between 'employment opportunities', when we had what I called "won't loose the farm" health insurance. It didn't cover routine anything, but would have paid enough towards a bad medical episode. Worth it!
We did have a pretty good employer plan twenty years ago, when DH had a near fatal stroke. That would have wiped us out without that plan; the total bill, then, came to around $350,000! We paid our copays over time, which were enough, but nowhere near that amount!
Now, Medicare plus supplemental is the very best insurance we've ever had! Working for the government, or GM, were always better from an insurance standpoint.
