grannys gone and done it

[twisted-acres-farm]

Hello all: Hope everyone had a good thanksgiving!!! Mine went ok other then forgot to turn the oven down on one of the pies. Guess what a pumpkin pie looks like after being in a 450 oven for 50 minutes. Sent it out for the chickens but one of the renters on the farm took it and ate it said was good after you cut the black parts off.
Took my left over gravy, extra stock, raw cream, turkey , and some dressing, and frozen carrots (home done of course) plopped it all in a kettle stirred up and ladled into baking dishes then popped into freezer will pull out latter and put a crust on calling it thanksgiving pot pie. Hope it works. One of the best things about chickens no waste they eat my rejects.

GREAT NEWS little Lu is preggers. nothing but a walking stomach right now I get up and she races me to kitchen hoping for eggs or anything that might drop to the floor. She was in season sometime in Oct but not sure when. Pups sometime before Christmas. I have such good catholic dogs. 2 nd Christmas/advent batch. One on Easter Sunday and one holy week. Guess that Missalette ( the lesbian dog, lu's older sis, and official interuptor of lu and yuri making babies) was snoozing. she is the one who will let Yuri get on but the moment anything starts to happen she is nothing but fangs and snarls. Have one lady (former guest at motel) driving up from Ohio for a puppy. Have to call the vet tomorrow and find out what they charge for toes & tails , might be doing the docking myself , thinking toenail clippers for the dew claws, and glowing hot knife for the tails. The one vet won't do "unnecessary surgeries" but alas AKC requires the tails to be docked. Removing dew claws is just common sense to me. Toes and tail usually done on day 2 after the birth. Blood circulation and nerves not so active or working well yet. Honestly they (pups) scream more when pulled of mom's dinner plates then when the toes and tails are removed. My old (now retired) vet did them for 10.00 per pup and then I got a 10% breeders discount so actually cost me 9.00 these things do affect the price of the pup. Lu is 5 years old and first litter. lu is short for alleluia (registered name) or with me short for Lucifer depending on what she has been up to. Definitely Lucifer when I caught her and Missalette playing tug of war with a farm kitten. then Yuri ran over and ate the head. UFFDA !!!!!!! about did me in. Now I can't figure out how to get rid of the underlining

YAAA Scott, what awesome news ! seems like you have been waiting a long time. why dont you lock the other girl up when she is in season? They are bird dogs right? you know you are not going to be cutting no tails and nails off. I understand the dew claws too but I dont care if the tail is cropped or not. my dogs is but i didnt do it. You know, Ohio is 45 min. from me.

would love to have one of your bitches. Pm me a price if you trust this woman enough to haul a pup. dinner sounds yummy, love pot pies as long as there is enough gravy. my man Mr. stoffer dont use enough. fed my cornish rocks to the chickens. it was hilarious. they fought over the wish bone. the wish must of been to stop laying. so , how do you under line? I havent figured that one yet.

We had a good Thanksgiving, but boy was I ready for that after dinner nap, which I didn't get until about midnight! Brother in law stayed over, and he was on Hawaii time, so we all stayed up a bit late to chat. The heritage turkey was really good, and not at all salty, which is our biggest complaint about the processed ones. That will probably be the way to go for us in the future, and if we're not doing it ourselves, at least we are supporting someone who is raising them the right way.

The lovely rain has been sporadic, and the chickens all got some some outside time the last few days, so no grumpy birds. Yay.

Scott, puppies sound like a lot of fun! What breed are you raising? We had a Rhodesian Ridgeback when I was a kid, and she had such a long whippy tail it would give you big bruises on the back of your legs. Ouch! Wouldn't have minded if her tail had been shorter. People used to use them for boar hunting out here.


Granny, is there an egg update? Are they still kicking?

Underlining is the U symbol in the top row of the reply box menu. You can click on it (it will look shaded when it's on) and type what you want underlined, and click again to turn it off. Or you can highlight what you want underlined and then click on the U. The bold, italics, crossed out, size, and color all work the same way.

My hubs showed me how to put this screenshot in, but I don't think I could repeat it.

You can play around with all the buttons while you are posting. You don't have to submit it. Try everything. It's kind of fun.

where is everyone tonight? i need some sympathy. tired of hearing me cry i suppose. I know i am. tired of hearing about chicks die, my dog gone shoulder is out again. same one. gallon of milk. same movie i have seen come on 3 times today and twice yesterday. as much as i enjoyed it (it was partly filmed in my home town) enough already ! I have my priority's messed up. tv is a little over 100.00$ a month and i dont even watch it but Tom does and what I wanted for Christmas I cant afford. 150.00. Thinking about trying to sell one of my rings and go get it. I dont wear jewelry any more, why not try and get something i enjoy? My mom always gave me 400.00$ at Christmas time to buy for all and i just wasnt thinking about it. I know, its the thought that counts but i just cant stop thinking about it. LOL oh well. was looking forward to my daughter coming but i guess the tattoo business picked up and they made their rent. for this month anyway. it was 60 degrees at 8 this morning.

think the high tomorrow will be 30. almost hate to bring it up and i havent looked but this is day 12 on the serama eggs. I am very determined to have some of those babies. I cant grasp the meaning of . you cant do it. makes me mad when someone says that and even more determined to get it done. Is this what you call old lady rambeling ? I cant help it, I am so very bored. every time i move i holler in pain. typing w/ one hand too !

we were posting at the same time LOL where is the color? I cant find it. this is fun Sweet !!! ! Thank you !!!!

 

[Wishing4Wings]

Hi Granny! The color is the A button by itself (just after the size one).


Oh, duh, you found it. Sweet!!!

 

[Granny Hatchet]

what does crossed out mean? and why does your picture have way more options then what is showing? that color is hard to see.

 

[Wishing4Wings]

You can cross out stuff like BIG MISTAKES. You can just erase them too, but sometimes mistakes are funny.


Look for "More" on the far left of the options. Downward triangle means you have more choices. Click it!

 

[Granny Hatchet]

thank you wishing. looks like you found me something to do. lol

What is it that you want for $150, Granny? I still have a brand new 15 year old singing Billy the Bass in a box unused waiting for someone who wants one. Who knows, someone might have what you want in their attic or garage, and they would love to re-gift it. LOL
