Dumbest Things People Have Said About Your Chickens/Eggs/Meat

[Blooie]

I met Ken, six days later had my diamond, and we've been married almost 47 years. I was 16 then. Exactly two months after my 17th birthday, to the day, we were married. Been a heck of a roller coaster, but I wouldn't trade one second!

OMG I love PBS! Ah the days when I could curl my manly self on the couch with a tub of ice cream and watch a good old fashioned murder mystery or something about the mysteries of the cosmos on NOVA.

I've gotten so spoiled by it, I could never give it up at this point. Plus, I can't figure out why I'd want to.

I think I am just going to keep an eye out. Whoever my layer is they laid just yesterday, so I expect I will get one again this weekend sometime, and I will actually be home to tell! I am very excited. It almost has to be her, the only other chickens that arent laying right now are two Welsummers and an EE. I can't think of who else it would be.

The "who laid the egg?" mystery is the only thing more fun than a good, old fashioned English "whodunnit".

More power to you. Had that happened to me, I might feel very, very differently. But, we're all a sum total of our life experiences.

7 Biddies, I just clicked on the coop link you have in your signature. Wow, what a great coop! Love the idea of a sliding poop board under the roost. You did a really nice job with the design.

I'm really enjoying these marriage stories. Too many times you hear only about the bad ones.

Some everyone's sharing marriage stories, I'll share mine. I met my husband when I was 16. We were both working at McDonald's as our first job. We never knew each other in school but after we meet at work we found out that we did go to school together lol. We were living together by 18. By 20 we were married and at 21 welcomed our son into the world. We couldn't have been any more different in school (think good girl and bad boy lol) but we've made the perfect couple. We've had trials and errors of course but next spring, we celebrate 10 years of marriage already

I have the best of both worlds (marriage and relationships), too; I'm abstaining from all of them. I've never been happier. I can sleep diagonally across the bed, watch old English murder mysteries on PBS, have the TV off completely to read in total silence, eat out or eat in, cook dinner or eat cereal, no compromising, and I don't have to spend the holidays with his family! Life couldn't be better. Can't tell you how many people envy me. I know, I'm odd. But, I'm finally happy.

And, Old Rooster, I no longer have to contemplate the possibility of spending the rest of my life locked up on death row.

Nice!

I don't think you're odd. If anything ever happens to my sweetie I already know I'm done with the whole "looking for love" thing. Found it once, and that's enough for me.

Well, beings we are sharing stories...

I graduated high school at 17. I turned 18 in the fall. I was going to college and needing money. I saw an ad for school bus drivers, in a district 20 miles from where I went to high school.

I applied and got hired. I drove bus morning and evening with classes in between.

About a year after I started driving school bus the high school kids on the bus wanted to have a party at a rural town hall. The board of supervisor said they could only have the party if they had a chaperone. They asked if their school bus driver would qualify. The town board said sure.

They then came to me told me they were having a birthday party for me at the town hall. I said no. then they begged me and said it was a birthday party for a half dozen others too, and said they needed me to chaperone. I agreed to do it. BUT to this day I doubt the town board thought the school bus driver was less than a year older than some of the students.

My wife came with one of the girls on my bus route. I had driven her bus a couple times but did not recognize her. I thought she was cute we, we talked, danced, and snuck out for pizza.
The friend she came with got mad and left while we were in town at the pizza place. I was forced to give her a ride home. Funny thing was she lived across the county road on a farm across from my grandparents farm.

The next 2 years I spent a lot of time staying at my grandparents. We were married .

42 years later we still are, and have 4 grand kids! I cannot imagine my life without her in it......BUT I do try to some times!! lol
