Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Question for Ruth.
There’s a lady in town who seems interested in dating. I am not really interested in dating anyone at this time. How do I explain this to her? (She’s not a fan of chickens either)

Hello Mr Featherhead, this is Sophia, I hear you have asked my daughter Ruth a question regarding a person seemingly interested in possibly dating you. I shall answer for my daughter who is a minor.

Are you sure, she wishes to date? Maybe she just wants a casual chit chat. As for not being a fan of chickens I can only say that your heart lays with your chooks, a person who isn’t keen on The Way of the Chicken will never be a person you would spend time with.

You already knew your answer, Mr Featherhead, but on the off chance you wish to meet with this person then my suggestion is to enjoy the company and have fun.

You could have told him “I married once, and that won’t happen ever again, I have found my soulmate “. That should give them the message.

We were both taking a class out of town. Unfortunately, this was said when we were out to dinner. He drove, so I was stuck there.
Tax:
Sunny and Squeak

Pip on my shoulder.

Hey Pip

Oh that’s a tough situation - I have learnt long ago to take my own wheels, and pay my own way.

Here is a Roo tax

I’ll need to touch base with Ruth, but you do know she is a minor so really shouldn’t be getting her into these things, I shall ask Sophia if n her behalf if that meets with your approval

Okay I guess, but with a name like Ruth, well, you know.

It’s always nice to have a Pip on your shoulder! (Beats having a chip on your shoulder)

Say, "Thank you. I'm flattered. But I am not interested in dating anyone at this time."

I'm married (very married). I had a friend hit on me and tell me he'd marry me in a heartbeat. Talk about an uncomfortable moment...

That’s because you are an attractive, intelligent person. They can’t help themselves.

First, what Sally said is exactly right. If you don't want to date, be direct but polite. But there's no reason you can't meet for coffee and conversation, unless you don't even want that.

I've remained friends with my grad school boyfriend. He's met my husband, been to my house, we exchange birthday and Christmas cards, etc. He decided one night when we were at some gathering, to kiss me! Now, I've kissed him...a little brotherly peck...in front of my husband. That's fine. My hubs is the least jealous man I've ever known. But this was not an attempt at that kind of kiss and my husband was no where around! Talk about awkward! I cut that right off, got the heck away from him and haven't let myself be alone with him since! This was years ago and he got the hint...but wow! Way to tarnish a friendship.

So...back to chickens...Sheba continues to puzzle me. She remains my best layer. An egg every day. Tonight she blessed us with this! Egg on the left is yesterday's normal egg. Today's is on the right!!!

That poor girl! Double yolk? It'll be interesting to find out.

Maybe I would just go out with her to dinner and make her pay for it!?

If she's serious, that would look like encouragement. Probably not a good idea.

Oh. That was a joke. Right?
