EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

[BantyChooks]

Years ago while weed wacking a pebble took out the largest window on my house. It couldn't have been the small easy window. Yes I had goggles on.
Better to look goofy than to not look at all.

I'll say...

Knew someone that had to go to the ER due to not wearing safety glasses whilst operating a mitre saw. Wood chip in eye.

It will.. wear glasses. Tap the spool on the ground while running full blast and it will self feed the twine.

Mine says not to, this after I tried tapping on the ground. It has a feed switch at the handle. After reading instructions.

You are so lucky!
We raised a pic or two growing up along with some beef. I fondly remember the freezer full of white packages...

Now I would have to buy from a farmer since I live in town.

Maybe some day I will move back to the country

The noise, smell, hard work all adds up and takes a toll on you. Some days it's like "what have I got myself into"? Other days (like last evening) remind you by tingling your taste buds.
A small Hobby Farm is a misconception. Still tons of hard work, but worth it on payday (Mystery Meat Day).

 

[Lazy Farmer]

I am so sorry!

I hurt myself in the silliest of ways. When I was in the 6th grade, I was waiting in the line to play 4-square with my hands in my pockets--while standing on black ice. I did a bounce up to keep warm and fell smack onto the blacktop. Broke off my two front teeth and have a nice manly scare on my face...Yea real tough!...A tragic 4-square accident....

OWIE! Laughing with you.. not at you.

People really should wear goggles whenever they work with any kind of sharp tool or power tool. Had a friend who can't see in one eye anymore because he was using a snap-blade cutter and he had the blade fly into his (unprotected) eye when he went to snap the dull part of the blade off. Luckily he didn't go totally blind, just blurry in that eye.

Hurts my mouth just to read this.

Well, that's different.
I just had a huge spider crawling across the floor. It's outside now.

Hopefully dead?

 

[BullChick]

No. I wasn't going to squish it on my carpet, and wasn't wearing shoes anyway.

You should have grabbed the nearest hard object and pounded it into a mush.
