I've only had one send it to me.

Perhaps people love me more.

p Just kidding of course.)

Could be that the rest of my friends are fellow chicken nuts and see more things wrong with eating salad from a salad bar than hugging a chicken.

No way people could love you less than they do her..

Ya'll were talking about weather a while back, yeah, I'm behind again...healing up .. I hope. Doc says I am...mri on shoulder next week.. Anyway, Utah weather...cold, warm, cold, warm...like yesterday was 74 degrees, today down to 63 degrees. Will be in the 50's tomorrow, and then? In the 70's for a full 5 days at least! We're used to it. We know how the spring and fall are, the ups and downs. Wish it had been that way during the summer...and nice looong hot..hot..summer. Not nice though. Higher temps than usual. Man, it was way too hot. I'm enjoying Oct.
Hey motor..I had to take a closer look at your avvy..lol..thought it was a lollipop at first. Then, I see that it's a cool pumkin..did you do that?

No, ma'am! I have very little talent.

2nd question isn't that bad when you think about it. Do you know the actual measurements of a queen size mattress?
I sure don't, but I may be dumber than most.

Sometimes I remember. Usually I don't. He was being an idiot regardless.

Our kids are very good about washing their hands as soon as they come inside & again before eating. We even have "chicken shoes" by the back door. (Basically just old shoes to slip on before playing out back. They are never worn anywhere else. Likewise with some old coats in winter.) Because our DD is a big animal cuddler, we had to make a "No kissing chickens" rule.

So..... DS goes to religious ed & they were talking about the 10 commandments. The teacher asked for examples of some rules from home. Yep. Little DS proudly said, "No kissing chickens." The teacher was rather surprised & unsure how to respond.

I was embarrassed but also thankful he didn't say some of our other house rules.....
DH refuses to allow our flock to eat any leftovers from a chicken dinner, so the "No cannibalism" rule was created. It has turned into a family joke when some one says something like, "You're so cute I could just eat you all up!" Also our current dogs love to dig. We have a flower garden where previous pets have been buried, so we've had the "Don't dig up the dead" rule in place for several years now.

Eat your surpluses!

Me & the other half was in town yesterday picking up barley grain and stopped at Popeyes for a quick lunch. We hardly eat fast food but this place opened only a couple months ago.. so we experimented..
We got 2 lunch combos. Nothing fancey. $16 and change. Tiny bit of chicken, instant potatoes and a biskit roll/drink for over $8 each of us...

This fast talking loud mouth today wanted this for $5.

Top grain fed Fresh farm raised prime rooster.
6 months old and meat like angel hairs.

I don't like when strangers raise their voices at me. It's rude, selfish and inconciderate.

What's funny is that I read this article yesterday. Then this morning DH read it and laughed as he said, "Yes, It's all the CHICKENS' fault when people get sick." Of course today, two concerned people have already forwarded this very important article to me. UGH!

Their are more germs on a shopping cart push handle than from a well maintained animal habitat..

That’s crazy, same problem here, people want to buy them for$5 tofeed ti their dogs.First of all I paid 3x that for the chick, not to mention organic feed etc. I told my husband the roosters were worth more asfood for our family. This was the moment he finally got on board with eating an animal we raised. So personally I’m grateful for Craigslist. Then again no ones been bat$h!t crazy enough to yell at me, demand my address, And tell me I will sell my chickens for chicken scratch or else! Good luck!

Whiiites, Ralphie is picking on me. Make him stop it.

I think because I am soft spoken. Like a car salesman will try to manipulate a lady customer but show more respect to a male customer. He was a shovenist trying to pray on me.
I thought our sales dropped because Hub is brutal honest on the phone and tells people off.. (when I took over) but have learned why he has been getting huffy puffy lately.
5 years ago it wasn't like that.. Sales were easy. People seemed more easy going.
I changed my # out of all the ads eariler.. Time to let grouch mouse get tagged in before I'm pinned down.
We are going back to flea and swap sales. Have been collecting cages and wire boxes for the last couple months. On line ads are no longer profitable for our geographical region.
