Qualies now! We want to hear about birds right? Well Dh cant take care of my birds and i know that. I had no other choice no one in my family will tolerate them at all and for a few mins there i was sayn i was gonna have to sell off Everything, coops and cages included after everything ive invested in this Business im running

I knew he would leave em to thirst and starve so i had to be cautious and added extra waterers and feed. Several babies werent ready for so much water in their home and drowned themselves. Some still have not been located yet but one boy was Reaching in and taking them Out! Dh not keeping eyeballs on toddlers several were from a friend i let her incubate 50 eggs and she didnt do things quite right so there were several problem babies.

Still. 64 remain

She could be so white it was blinding. Just gorgeous. And then at other times, not so much.

Oh dear!

Oh dear!

What always amazed me was the next day she would be blinding white. One time she had spaghetti sauce all over her 1 side. I was sure she was going to stain. About 5 minutes after it got on her she just shook and it all flew off. She was still that pristine white underneath.

I had one 3 years older & 1 18 months younger. What was I thinking? The identicals had a twin language which they taught to my daughter so I had 3 whose 1st language was not English & had a communication system all their own! And ~ they had no singular pronouns till they were well into their teens. I wasn't one of these mums who always dressed them the same & bought identical presents but they had, & still have, this little world all their own. I pity their wives.

Thinking you would get it all done with in one fell swoop? really i Love your stories! I wish i could keep up with your thread! I do buy them identical presents so that they dont fight over things and i do like to dress them the same but only sometimes! I think its adorable

I'm quite reassured that the ads are so poorly targetted it's like, hey, the profiling is all wrong! Hooray!

Im kind of paranoid But i wonder, do they know we are bothered by how specific the ads are so theyve changed to more random things to make us stop whining about how Important privacy is?

I'm so sorry for all you've been through lately. I hope his appreciation of you stays strong from now on.

Thank you! Really its alright, all you guys, im a tough ole biddy and i won this fight in a big way. Im scared of exactly that in your last sentence though. This isnt the first time hes told me to leave either says he can do it all on his own

Sounds like raising quail is your calling

Truth is Caregiving is my calling. I will take care of anything with a heartbeat to the absolute Best of my ability i will quickly go as far as to cut myself short for anything with a heartbeat.

They are exceedingly adorable.

Thank you! Dont tempt me to send you some

I told Peggy and she said, "hmmmm sounds like Daisy had magic feathers."

Well, they are not one person but 2 so I wanted to celebrate each as their own person ~ & that was important for their teens but seriously, these guys had a name for their singleness as a twin phenomea. It was a combination of their individual names that they always used to refer to themselves. But it could drive people batty. Who was this 3rd child they kept referring to? And school was a nightmare. They had no idea of personal ownership because it didn't exist in their world. Everything was *ours.* And I had boys. I think girls might be worse.
