Newfie, thank you I just write whatever comes spilling out my mouth. there is no filter between my brain and fingers.

Danna, I am glad you are here too , All of you.

Ol mare, I just dont know what to say. you are looking for intelligent answers I can help you look.

The weather was beautiful today ! I think its supposed to be like this for the 5 day.

I lose arguments to myself too.

So, question of the day -- how long do crickets live? There is a cricket *somewhere* in the master bathroom - the best part, it is nowhere that is actually accessible. We have it narrowed down to being down in the vent or possibly somehow under the garden tub -- either way, he is in a location with some great acoustics because his little song is getting some great carriage

Not only that, but of course it is attracting the attention of the house cat so we have the singing cricket *and* the cat trying to get to it. And DH wonders why I seem to prefer sleeping in the recliner in the living room

I looked back at the beginning.  Started with you looking for help with a weak orpington chick (that you shouldn't have gone and done got!).  TwoCrows and Dawg were your first regulars, and then Twist and Suzierd joined, and some others that we don't hear from anymore.  Don't think I got here til page 40 or 50.


He will be 17 soon and is also a follow the rules kid.  Senior year for him. He has discovered girls, but doesn't know what to do with them.  Last year, a pretty girl posed a question, what would you say if I asked you to the next turnabout?  Yesterday he came home from first day back to school, disappointed that he didn't see this girl.  Why did you want to see her?  Because she's going to ask me to the dance!  Very sweet, and kind of funny until you consider his age.  Everything is in black and white, he misses the subtle shades of gray in social situations. I am breaking my own rule talking about him, but this brings up my latest worry, all the boy-girl drama and some overly experienced girls flirting with my very unsophisticated boy.  Worried he's going to get vamped!

I was here at the beginning! e

I have a question what is it called when your chicken has a nasty leaky butt with a sore looking vent. I know what it is but I can't think of it for the life of me right now.

Not sure which is worse - losing an argument to yourself or to a cat (or chicken)

Had to laugh tonight - I had posted a picture the other night to facebook of how "scared" the chickens are of the outdoor cats, tonight they really did it. About half the flock was up in the yard (begging DH to toss some scratch - he is trying to buy their love) and Jackie (cat) popped up with a freshly caught mouse in her mouth. She was so worried about making sure Mojo and Salem (her brothers) didn't steal her catch that she forgot about the chickens - next thing you know one of them walked right up to her and stole that mouse out from under her nose, ran off with it and a game of chicken keep-away ensued until she managed to get it in position to swallow whole (that blew DH's mind). Poor cat never knew what hit her.

Best Answer: Me personally I would take a different approach to the cricket. I do consider them worthy of living in my home not in my bed or in my kitchen but I like the idea of saving the creature with a little folklore with it. With the economy as it is today, maybe you could use some luck like the rest of the country.
GOOD LUCK!

Crickets are said to foretell good luck. Their songs are said to bring blessings to all that are lucky enough to hear them. In many parts of the world, a cricket found in the house will be treated with respect. Often, they are placed in small cages made especially for them, given food and water, and hopefully able to live a long life, as the longer they live, the more good luck they bring. Others say to leave them as they are, and if they stay, it means large amounts of money will come to the owners of the dwelling.
