That's un-American......uhhhh....nm!

The I was little, my very favorite song was Itsy Bitsy Spider (with hand motions). I was both a first child and first grandchild, so my childhood was a bit over documented - we actually have audio tape of my mother and I singing this when I was a toddler. I'm 46, and she's 70 - it's a very precious thing to have now.

(My younger brothers are twins born when I was still a toddler - lotsa blank baby book pages for them.)

Hey, now.....I know who Shania Twain is....so there

I only know who she is because of a very unhealthy obsession that my former co-worker had. Ew.

Those of you that leg band chicks: How often do you have to change them, in general? I'm banding the 'lorps just to see how it works and to see if gender guesses are right.

LOVE this!!!!!!

Argh!!!!

Well @Fire Ant Farm I have over 1300' of fence to clean trees and little brush out of tomorrow. Too bad you are so far away. We could take turns helping each other, and really knock out the jobs. I have the feeling that I am going to be very sore come Easter morning.

I would so love to be your neighbor - hard work is easier with company. I have a lot of work to do tomorrow as well. We'll be sore together!

That is some external "pip" you made .
Leave it in the shell if you can, sitting it up in an egg box to give it time to draw in the yolk and cut off the bleeding. If there is not enough shell left or bleeding is too profuse put some starch on the vessel and pinch it between your fingers. When it has stopped bleeding but it in an egg carton and leave it alone in the Bator in a dark room so that it sleeps instead of crying and expelling the rest of the yolk sac that is already absorbed. The more it crys the less chance it has to keep the yolk inside.
Don't keep checking it. The more you do the less chance it will have.
Either it will make it or it won't and messing with it more just reduces its chances.
