Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

Got back from DRs. on top of fall and watching for seizures I'm not allowed to drive because of my dizzy spells. They did an EKG my heart's a little enlarged (I have heart issues) She ordering heart ultrasound and heart monitor. (again) It's been a couple of years. They are going to watch my liver it's a little elevated. They want to put me on blood sugar medication soon but not right now with all that's going on, because my blood sugar drops and I also will pass out from that and Im pre diabetic so it will level it. Going to the spine dr for my scoliosis, spondylosis, stenosis, arthritis, degeneration, and narrowing of the neck. My blood pressure drops when I stand up. My heart rate is high. And she wants an MRI brain scan.

Ok you rest, and enjoy your wee chickies, and I will look for the next lot of photos

I suspect part of it was the overall tribe dynamics at the time, and two fairly strong willed (but not laid back) individuals, and Sydney who is fairly laid back...but also strong willed/independent (i.e. don't push her into a corner.) With these three, Glynda is striving for control/power, LF is fairly laid back and 'cohesive', and Gucci doesn't want to be left behind, but is not at all looking for power.

Maybe that is a better way to put it. You only have 1 power broker in this group - you had 2 plus one who wasn't going to be ordered around in the other group.

The personalities of the SSP group were very different for sure. I never realized how aggressive Phyllis could be until I added more chickens.

This time around Glynda is a different kind of aggressive than Sansa for sure. Glynda never pecks her own. The cat, absolutely. Betty, every so often they will go at it. Glynda is mostly all about exploring and curiosity. Sansa was brutal to Sydney and Phyllis. Very Lilly-like. I suppose that's why those 2 got along so well.

It is pronounced differently (r-ow -ter. Emphasis on the 'ow' part.
Pronounced /ˈraʊtər/

router

I didn't find the word origin, but suspect this router has maybe Germanic influence??? Versus British/English influence for the 'route' for traffic, which is where, I believe, the 'router' regarding internet derives from. again, I didn't find references to word origin, though, so it is only a guess.

It is kind of like 'lead'. Can be meant as in 'lead a horse to water' or can be used/meant as in the metal lead. Same spelling but different pronunciation.

I am having my third interview with Blue Bell Creamery tomorrow. This will be with their automation department and will hopefully be the clincher. I have been praying for this opportunity for years now. Prayers or positive thoughts are appreciated

You got them!

I have comebacks for those comments being thin up top myself but they are very offensive and probably out of line for use in church but I guarantee he wouldn't mess with you again

I bet!

Wow when I hear about others Hens not getting along I am so surprised! My gang pretty much get along, I even caught Penelope grooming poor soggy Marty’s head poof today

I was very surprised at that!

Of then there was a kurfuffle, between fluffy and someone… but in 2 seconds they all went back to doing what they were doing

They really are!

I get a chuckle when the horses watch them pecking around and squabbling .

I am sure they enjoy them as much as I do!
