Granny's gone and done it again

I hate the way our water tastes. I use lemon juice, mios, and crystal light. There’s a “great value” water enhancer that I like much better than mios, it’s “tropical” flavor and tastes like a snow cone. :D I also get the crystal light with caffeine- peach mango. Crystal light has aspartame but mio uses sucralose. And it has ginseng and b vitamins! :yesss:
Love ginseng, we use Brita, or bottled water ,never tap. B vitamin diffently, plus multi vitamin
 
You got the bator cool, so now you'll have quail. Are you going to make quail pens?
Actually i cleaned my old bator up. The new one is not here yet. I already made one quail hutch, depending on how many hatch i may build more.
 
I took lots of long, boring videos this morning of Josie trying to catch her acting instinctually. She did seems to want guineas all in the same place and would go after stragglers. If she got too energetic then Roxie would whop her. Then going through the frames to choose stills I noticed she was pointing, her tail even goes straight back. I’m thinking of posting for advice on the “women in agriculture” fb group. I don’t really need Josie to herd things, but it would be helpful if she knew some commands to help me out.

Rescue was calling mom an Australian Shepherd. She’s still up for adoption. They said she’s 45lbs, so Jewel sized.

I looked up mountain curs last night, they have a bully-type face and square body and curs are almost as popular as labs around here, used for hog hunting. So cur could be a possibility.




I was horribly addicted to Dr peppers, and even after quitting them in September I still found them delicious. Over the weekend I had one and it was gross. But it was canned, so I bought a bottle and it was also growled, and gave me a terrible headache. DH bought powedered donuts for the kids and I had one, same thing- disgusting. I think I’m finally detoxed from processed foods. I still have honey and sugar, but even white sugar doesn’t seem to taste as good as it did.

It takes time. I had lots of binges and cheats. But you are so strong-minded, I believe you can do it when you truly want to. :hugs
That is quite the achievement! How long did it take you to kick the sugar, including the set backs? like from the point you made the commitment?

Josie is for sure Aussie or Border mixed, I'm just more familiar with border collies and how they work. That one pic of Josie with the duck looked like a classic herding stance, very alert, and not a play invitation. There is a fine line between herding and hunting. Looks like she's going to be much bigger than her mama, too!

edit- trying to find a pic that will post

We started last September and now it ls March. So six months, including thanksgiving, Christmas, Mardi Gras, v-day, girls night, and everything else in between. It’s a journey of inches.

I keep watching for the “herd vs hunt” because herding looks too much like hunting, to me. Even Jasper went through a killing phase, so I’m expecting some setbacks. But I think we’ll be able to get through it.
 
380 posts behind. 20* cooler than yesterday morning. 43*. No critter likes the boss. Need milk & Shrimp boil. Im glad to see the sun out.
It's like old times, Jane! I would get on and have 50 or more pages to catch up. The most for a one day was over 100 pages/1000 posts
:eek:
Mornings all, Rough night. nightmares , trouble going to sleep and back to sleep. I gave up. Shark day on sy fy .
I hate being on a time constraint and in order to go off w/ DD I will be. Tom wants to go which means I would need to be back here at 2 to wake Robert . I have to go to the bank and come back here to leave Robert $$ DD has to be home at 3. Maybe I will go to the bank and grab a burger and to heck w/ the rest of it.
Rough night :hugs I have always wondered why you do that huge shopping day once a month. I can't plan that far ahead... would have to split it at least into 3 or four trips. But I realize Tom is tricky to deal with, so that makes it harder. I like your idea, a quick run for the basics- and a burger!

This Blew My Mind
February 18, 2016 ·


After I retired, my wife insisted that I accompany her on her trips to Walmart. Unfortunately, like most men, I found shopping boring and preferred to get in and get out. Equally unfortunate, my wife is like most women - she loves to browse.

Yesterday my dear wife received the following letter from the local Walmart

Dear Mrs. Woolf,

Over the past six months, your husband has caused quite a commotion in our store. We cannot tolerate this behavior and have been forced to ban both of you from the store. Our complaints against your husband, Mr. Woolf, are listed below and are "documented by our video surveillance cameras":

1. June 15: He took 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in other people's carts when they weren't looking.

2. July 2: Set all the alarm clocks in Housewares to go off at 5-
minute intervals.

3. July 7: He made a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to the
women's restroom.

4. July 19: Walked up to an employee and told her in an official
voice, 'Code 3 in Housewares. Get on it right away'. This caused the
employee to leave her assigned station and receive a reprimand from her Supervisor that in turn resulted in management getting involved causing management to lose time and costing the company money.

5. August 4: Went to the Service Desk and tried to reserve a bag of
chips.

6. August 14: Moved a 'CAUTION - WET FLOOR' sign to a carpeted area.

7. August 15: Set up a tent in the camping department and told the
children shoppers they could come in if they would bring pillows and
blankets from the bedding department - to which twenty children
obliged.

8. August 23: When a clerk asked if they could help him he began
crying and screamed, 'Why can't you people just leave me alone?'
Emergency Medics were called.

9. September 4: Looked right into the security camera and used it as a mirror while he picked his nose.

10. September 10: While handling guns in the Sports department, he
asked the clerk where the antidepressants were.

11. October 3: Darted around the Store suspiciously while loudly
humming the ' Mission Impossible' theme.

12. October 6: In the auto department, he practiced his 'Madonna look' by using different sizes of funnels.

13. October 18: Hid in a clothing rack and when people browsed
through, yelled 'PICK ME! PICK ME!'

14. October 22: When an announcement came over the loud speaker, he assumed the fetal position and screamed 'OH NO! IT'S THOSE VOICES AGAIN!

15. Took a box of condoms to the checkout clerk and asked where the fitting room was.

And last, but not least:

16. October 23: Went into a fitting room, shut the door, waited
awhile, and then yelled very loudly, 'Hey! There's no toilet paper in
here.' One of the Staff passed out.
:lau:lau:lau:gig:gig:gig good laugh and good ideas!
