Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Sylvester017]

You’re gonna need a few floppy disks to store your pictures on.

Goodness, if all my pics were to store on CD's I'd need 3 walls of shelves to store the CD's ~ teehee!

DH had to get me a 2TB compact external laptop drive to store photos after copying from the pocket or Canon camera Sandisks plus we have Carbonite backup of photos.

Personal preference I don't use Cloud. I like having internal privacy control of my photos to pick & choose what gets internet posted ~ especially when I have to search thru folks & mine antique pics, kids growing up pics & wedding pics, vacation pics, house remodeling pics, yard remodeling pics, chicken pics, etc.

We had to go thru Legacy Box to convert a shoebox full of old 1960's slides onto a CD to copy onto my external photo storage. All hard copy antique photos are given away to friends & family & new pics from Sandisk cameras are stored in one zip folder. No cumbersome old-fashioned photo albums or CD's or old floppies to store any more!

Oh, I love that part where they run ahead to trip you up! We think cats are solitary & aloof then they do the doggie thing & follow you

Cats know exactly what they are doing! That evil trait has been instilled into them by centuries of human interaction. Even the Egyptian pharaohs couldn’t tame their own cats, so they called them gods!

Just ensure your external drive is from a reputable brand like WD, Seagate, or Samsung.

I don't like the cloud either. I have a network drive and I back my photos up to that as well as a offline drive.

If you've got any CDs you haven't copied off yet, you should do it, especially because older CDs will start deteriorating as they don't last forever.

Just an FYI: Once you get it under control, you will start to feel much better - fewer aches in your joints, etc. High blood sugars cause system wide inflammation...getting them under control will make you feel soooo much better. It will be a process...but stick with it and know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Diabetes is imminently controllable - it will just take a bit of playing with/tweaking meds to find what works for you.

Hi BG,

Had a spike Saturday after breakfast that bout knocked me out. Made a visit to the ER and got a shot of insulin. Relayed this thru the patient portal and have yet to hear from my Dr. Scheduled an appointment Thursday so he can't duck and dodge me forever.

Hope all is well with you and your tribe

It does look like wry tail. Either genetic or vitamin deficiency. The vitamin deficiency can be corrected.

I feel like there was a discussion on this at some point - but I can’t remember why it started. Or if there was any thing from it.

Either way I am needing to look this up. Now that I am paranoid!!!

The tax man cometh…

Meanwhile does this look like an egg in the middle of the sand box there?

And now there is an overturned feeder by it! It looks like a blue egg. Must be from Flopsy.

I’m so sorry. I didn’t realize that you were frozen in Carbonite. This makes much more sense now!

 

[GregnLety]

Well, I checked before posting ! And was relieved to see it was more or less as far away from you as possible within in the same state.

Nice to see you back, but I'm sorry about your health issues! Does that mean you have to change the way you eat ? And cut down on the beer ?
I hope your doctor can find the right meds /dosage to help you feel better. It takes a lot of energy to work away from home and then come back to take care of all those dogs and chickens.

I don't have new ponies for Sunday but some nice landscapes from this morning. The larches are beginning to turn orange, in one or two week it will be stunning. And the highland cows this thursday.

Hi Manue,

Yes, until I am well in control I have cut out my beer for now. Drastic changes to my diet now. Seems that several times daily I learn of another food I can't have or have to limit severely. My daughters understand and are looking at ways to modify our Thanksgiving meal. I'll still fry a turkey but the dessert menu will be most affected.

I hope yall are doing well and keep sharing your pics please. I miss catching them when work interferes with my life.
