Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[MaryJanet]

These people, the doctors and nurses are trying to help you, maybe even saving your life. The nursing staff in particular work long stressful hours for not nearly enough pay. They put up with all sorts of verbal abuse and physical abuse day in day out when all they are trying to do is make people well again.
If I were you seeing as you are apparently a wealthy man I would buy them a vary large bunch of flowers and give them as many eggs as you've got by way of apprecaition for the thankless work they undertake.

Lecture over.

I've made snow angels before, but snow chickens?

It was a pretty good hop.

Amazing. Beautiful and hilarious at the same time!

I d

I didn’t choose their careers for them. Yes they work hard, are underpaid, and have a reason to be somewhat disgruntled with their jobs. My money cannot buy me good health either, so what good is having money anyways? I didn’t choose the emergency room, when I fell ill Friday. If I’m still sick and in need of more extensive treatment, I’m ready to change venues, to a more qualified doctor and nursing staff. That particular hospital i was in, has a history of poor medical care. No fault I guess?

Nursing is very challenging work with extremely high risks. It doesn't surprise me that people are attracted to it and commit themselves to the university education and workplace training it takes to enter that profession.

Treating people with respect and supporting their dignity is basic human kindness. Even if someone has made bad choices in life and become a burden to society.

I don’t purposely tease or harass anyone. I do get a little upset when I don’t get the attention that is required (medications, pain relievers, or the food that was promised) the staff at that particular hospital, has a major communications problems between shift changes. That said, there were two nurses that were excellent at picking up the pieces of others. And certainly helped me during my visit. They get a thumbs up from me!

Congratulations! Bruises are badges, IMO, when they've been earned like that.

I know; the chief instructor was parading me around showing off my bruises to the parents!

Ok, bear with me. It’s hard to explain the difference with my 2 girls earlobes. Their combs are different so why not ears too
Snow has what I have seen in my chicken experience- red and as they age the lobes get longer and more defined for want of a better word.

Now Belle’s are paler and they kinda look like just flat pink circles (with a cute little tuft above each hehe) it’s just strange. She has no issues with hearing the back door open which usually means scraps being tossed out on the lawn.

They don’t seem to be growing at all. I’m not worried, it’s just another tick in the unique box for my baby girl perhaps
Sorry pics aren’t great, found it hard to get a good shot of lobes

Yeah. My chickens HATE the snow. I was surprised to see that one of them had ventured out, maybe a little too far, and forgot that she couldn't fly all the way back to the coop.

I’ve got some catching up to do but I just caught a whiff of this topic. I agree with the above, but my sister is an ICU nurse and she has recently been less than complimentary about some of the staff working in the same hospital as her, but on a different ward. Our dad was stuck in hospital for a month after having a kidney removed and she was ready to set fire to the hospital because no-one would turn up or tell us anything! I was actually quite shocked to hear about the ineptitude of the hospital staff, but I suspect over-worked and under-paid will have something to do with it.

Oh Bob, what are you like

Haven’t heard that expression in ages!

The scratch marks were very beautiful!
