Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

You can tell you have been listening to Pink Floyd!

Well played!

Good point. Maybe. But the thing itself is unwieldy. Less heavy would help I am sure. But will likely still be a pain!

OK I see. Good to know that I am not insane.

I love the coloring on #1
And please don't ask me why I switched on italics, one of the cats just did it and also removed the option to turn them off again.
He also drafted but thankfully did not send an e-mail.
My PC has a touchscreen which I love but is a mixed blessing with cats who love to play on it.

Precious (passed away a few months ago) used to manage to hit keys on my keyboard i didn't know existed. One day the computer was talking! We had to tilt the keyboard up anytime we got ip.

I am trying and she likes me doing it I think, but there cannot be a physical blockage - there is nothing to cause a blockage if you see what I mean. Just water and dissolved chick formula.

I feel like sedentary chickens have more of a problem keeping things moving. A bit of an unfortunate cycle. Not feeling well so not moving causing sluggish digestion causing unwell feeling...

Here it's big pickups driven by people with big egos. I have a nice truck but choose to drive it in a manner that gets the best gas mileage. I have a friend who is one of those egomaniacs and I refuse to ride with him. I guess it depends on your location as to the common vehicle of idiots but here mainly is big new pickups driven by citiots who are scared to get mud on their tires. And that's my rant for the day

Bad Drivers

I resist doing this whenever possible as I want to keep the thread on chickens a much as I can. But this clearly bugged me the other day and so I apologize to everyone in advance but I need to take one last bite of this apple.

I have been keeping track since our little discussion regarding people in expensive sports cars the other day. Since then I have been cut off, and dangerously so, by a Chevy Cruze. Nearly sideswiped by a tractor trailer, I had to take to the shoulder and slam on the brakes, and a mini van of some kind (less dangerous with the mini van). Had one of those huge pickup trucks tailgate me at 75 mph. I mean he was so close I could see the radiator clearly in my mirror.

2 of these instances had the real possibility of a serious accident if I had not been paying attention and been able to react quickly.

I have seen 1 BMW behaving badly. Luckily that moron did not affect me in any way.

First, everyone drive carefully. Please think of others.

To my point, does anyone think maybe we notice the expensive sports cars more because we are predisposed to think of them as jerks?

Nope. No time out with the others for a couple of weeks. Gucci can't get back in the coop right now. I'm not going to have her chased around.

Plus with the hawks. Nope. No way.

They are going to be bigger and more adept at handling the outside world first.

Wise move - esp with a hawk about for sure.

How old are they now ? They sure have grown this past week! They look like little ladies now then babies

Excellent advise - everyone drive safe.

For me, the bad drivers I experience are in the city (Toronto and area) on the 400 series highways (expressways) which are frequented by commuters. It’s those persons who are the irresponsible drivers and for the most part are driving very expensive SUVs and sedans. Seems everyone on Vaughn and Maple drive Mercedes, Jags, and zippy little sports cars with logos I don’t recognize!

In fact Bolton (part of Vaughn) is noted for the worst drivers and so many accidents involving youth driving expensive sports cars (likely bank rolled by the Bank of Mom an Dad) that they have additional police just to control this.

Not many drivers up here that I deal with, but yes I do deal with a few bad apples driving minivans! From time to time…

I guess also I tend to drive outside busy hrs around here so likely don’t see all the other bad apples there are out there!!!

Love your tax what a beauty
