Fuzzy's Farm

Okay, here's my saga for the day...I ran two splinters pretty deep into my finger before Christmas and went to minor emergency where they dug in it and couldn't get anything out. I've been on antibiotics but the finger has gotten infected and swollen. DH made me go in to the regular doctor today who in turn sent me over to the orthopedist who looked at it who made noises about surgery and sent me to get an MRI. So did that for 2 hrs and then to get blood work. ALL FOR SPLINTER that I got lemon oiling the coffee table. AND I'm about 2000.00 poorer (and that doesn't include the orthopedist bill) and still nothing has been done to my finger which is swollen and oozing. Teaches me not to clean house!!! I guess they will call tomorrow. 2012 was pretty bad but 2013 isn't starting off great. I'm having a pity party here.

Ulg... That sounds awful!!!!
Soak it in epsom salt...
 
Yeah, saw that one at Hobby Lobby actually, or off the R&L store. I found several stores that have quite the variety. BUT he wants chickens, and only chickens. He doesn't want the farm one that has cows, horses, chickens... the chickens are little. He wants a CHICKEN. LOL

Rusty, sorry I was on and off quite quick this morning. It was shaping to be a bad day when I looked out and saw the snow. The roads in Holland were ok, the roads in the sub divisions in Zeeland were not.

I went to get some Allstock Sweet feed from FFH, and I couldn't find any. I could find this one that said it was for goats, was a sweet feed, and the front of the bag had a cow, sheep, alpaca and a goat on it. 16% protein... is that the same thing? The reason I want it is as a green replacer for the winter, throw it in the pen as a winter treat, or put it with their regular feed like I do the corn...Supposed to have alfalfa.. Anyway, I read about it on another forum... Robin, you know which one... There are a few persons over in New England area using it as a supplement along with their regular feed, kinda like a winter treat. Figure 50# of that is a lot cheaper than 50# of salad ya know....

I also had a score of sorts at Meijer tonight. Picked up suet peanuts and raisins that were on clearence. Grabbed the last two bags they had. Chickens didn't knwo what to make of it at first, then it was gone... SO apparently, it was a nice before bedtime snack.

I got attacked today by the neighbors rooster. I was walking a few of his girls back in the dark, they had come over to visit, they had heard me whistling for my birds to come down off the roost and get some mac and cheese. Anyway, I am walking them home and their freaking stud cakes rear attacked me. I have a cut on my lower calf, and one on my ankle just above where my shoe sits. I tell you, I kicked that crap out of that boy as gently and firmly as I could, but he would not stop! I finally caught him between my legs, which could lead to a whole slew of umm... jokes. SO there I stand, a rooster stuck between my knees, a bag of suet in my one hand... I put the bag between my teeth, reached down grabbed the ratturd's feet, held him upside down only for a second so I could shift him around and tucked his @$$ under my arm. Everytime he tired to squirm free, I held him tighter. Carl told me I should have kicked him more, but I was like, DUDE, I kicked him 4 times and he still kept coming. I held him for about 10 minutes while I was talking to Carl. Carl says he's going to get rid of him, because he'll be fine, won't attack anybody, then all of the sudden he attacks only when your back is turned. I told him when if he wanted a nice rooster, let me know, I'll be working on faverolles this spring, I'll give him a pair, a boy and a girl. He said, well they all get mean at about 2 years. I said, NO they don't. Mr. Fluffers was nearly 4, and he never attacked any one. Roger was a year and a half, he never attacked anyone. Depends on the breed, and with his being a factory columbian wyandotte, and not a good quality one either... they aren't bred for niceness... I told him he needs a nice fat cochin boy or a faverolle. OR keep one of his older hens, even if she's stopped laying as his head hen.. she'll keep them in line then...

Well. I am thinking I might go work on my painting some more... but first... my self portrait painting...
 
OH, that too... Grapefruit seed extract too... use it as a wash... I had a splinter get in my finger that I couldn't get out either. Took for ever! Got a bit of infection also, had to keep soaking and squeezing the puss out. Finally got the splinter out one of those times. Nasty business...

Definitely going to get grapefruit seed extract. Orthopedist just called. MRI showed a piece of wood over a half inch long next to the bone. ONLY the most major of klutzs could have done this by oiling a coffee table. Anyways, surgery Monday. Thankfully they will put me under to take it out. Lets see, this splinter is probably going to end up costing 4000 or more. geeeeeeeesh!!!!!

Ouch. Hope that heals up for you.
I spent my day loafing and then at the mechanics for an oil change. DH said should only take 30-40 minutes. Nope. 2 1/2 hours. For an oil change. I took a book (currently reading Odd Hours- Dean Koontz), but I was SO bored. And I got so thirsty, but nothing was available and I got a huge headache. And they had the tv set to the worst station that was finishing an awful beat-em-up movie before moving onto a movie called Machete which I thought was equally bad. Ugh!
I did follow it up, though, with a trip to Coldstone Creamery. Figured I deserved a treat after all that. Mint oreo ice cream. Yum!
Dean Koontz... My favorite book from him was about the boy who could move through dimensions... Walk where the rain wasn't. I can not remember the name of it though. AND the one where there was the rapture, and then the rest were sorted... The dogs were protectors... I think it was the longest night... I don't remember. There are some that I do not even attempt, to disturbing, and then there is Odd Thomas... I mean, who doesn't love Odd Thomas? They should make movies. LOL, or a series! Yes! And I was very disappointed in the last 2 installments of Frankenstien. The first books were so good. I think he just rushed the last ones...

Hate the 2 hour oil changes. Mint oreo was definitely deserved. Me, I got apple pie bagels to compensate for the extra hour driving... LOL

did they rebuild your engine or something?????
What did they do???? I would be very suspicious, that isn't normal!!

that's not a splinter; that's the tree!!! Wow. No wonder they are all scratching their heads.
