Granny's gone and done it again

I can only find 250 here. I always feel like I'm gonna wake up to crispy nuggets

Are they inside? I only used a 100 W. on my inside chicks.

You all need to get one of these:

You want to make sure it's 500 watts. Or more. You can 'dim' down the amount of heat that the 250 bulbs are putting out. I've got a different dimmer that I use with heat bulbs that my husband wired in series. Works great. You can dial in the temp you want with a little patience.

Had another episode last night. Not as much squeezing but more pain. This time my left arm and hand went partially numb. I thought about my old nitro in my purse. Thought about the new nitro pills my Dr. ordered that are still at the pharmacy. Decided to just stay relaxed. It stopped. I never told what happened at my dr visit. He says something needs to be done. He agrees that a stress test would set me back with my vestibular..stuff. I say stuff or mess. Anyway, going in for the CT scan. While I'm there, also having a CT for my inner ear. About time! Bronwyn is out and about today in our snowstorm. She's going to pick up my nitro pills. If I use it, I will only barely put it under my tongue for a split second..because of my sensitivity to meds. See if it helps. Nitro G. opens those blood vessels really fast. Instant headache, and I mean instant.

Can you see the snow coming down? Can't see the mountains.

 

[microchick]

No no no no more snow for us please!

We have rain for the next three days I think. At least through Sunday.

I think mother nature decided that our mud was dehydrating too much.

Years ago our neighbors had a pig farm and the sows had the piglets out in the field in those half round quanzet huts. This quanzet happened to be beside a 12" in diameter tree with low hanging branches. As the sows had their piglets the farmers would go out there, to dock the tail and trim their teeth. They had four people doing it to make sure none of the piglets got away while they worked on them. One person watched the sows to give an alert if they got a bit huffy. Of course the piglets would squeal while they handled them. There was the one sow that had had her piglets and left them at the quanzet and was eating at the feeder when she heard one of her piglets squealing. She gave a GRUNT and came running at "mach one" speed, grunting/huffing the whole way to the quanzet, the lookout guy says, here she comes you better run!
One of the guys, instead of letting go of the sqealing piglet, he just hopped onto the quanzet thinking he'd be safe there.
Boy was he wrong! The mama pig went right after him, running him in several circles around the quanzet. By then he had dropped the piglet, but the sow wasn't done with him yet. She pushed him so hard he thought his life was seriously in danger. She ended up treeing him in that 12" tree right beside the quanzet. When she realized she couldn't get him, she turned her attention to the other guys. One by one she put all four guys into their own trees. She kept all four guys "treed" for two and a half hours! One of the neighbors drove by and saw what was going on and brought his tractor to "rescue" them.

A twelve inch tree? I can't see that being much help!

Great story,
