What...I've seen older in the junkyards here. What part is it? Worse comes to worse maybe one of my peeps here may have it or something that would work.

Well, hubs's "race car" is an 82, our "tow rig" dually is a 94, my car is a 98, and the "toterhome" is a 94...lol we're fully modern.

Lol we're real modern too. My car is a 98 & Hubby's truck is a 99.

I hate mowing. When I worked in my 20s & had lots of energy, we had a next door neighbor who was very picky about his yard. I had chickens & rabbits then. Over 50 of each. Enough said. He shaved his grass & it drove him nuts when anyone else's was shorter than his. I was busy with my 1st kid & I had a job cleaning tour buses & being supervisor on a bus of deaf & blind kids. Sometimes I got in at 730 am & I was too tired to mow. Well we had a lot of rain that year & the grass ended up over knee high before he caught up with me to say something about it. I told him I had decided that I was just going to let it grow & make hay. Next summer came & he's still shaving his grass. I wasn't working then so I had lots of time on my hands. I mowed about 2 days after he did so his grass was longer. You'd hear him come out & snort when he saw mine. Then he would immediately fix that & mow his. I kept him going all summer. The next year I was back working & left it grow again. There is an 8 foot privacy fence between us now.

Hi Newfie, I have a neighbor just like that. I take care of our lawn regularly, but it doesnt matter if she mowed just the day before she will come out and mow again Lol

Enola, how is Mike doing today? Sure hope the doctors are getting it figured out. Its a scary thing when you can breath.

you guys talking about that big black horse ? Now thats a dog ! I like em big. Not all that hair though. I didnt mow today. I took a nap. now its too late. My foot has been hurting bad today. I had to sit with a pillow under it to keep the pressure off. If we could find the part for enola that would be awesome. I didnt know you could ship an engine. a fortune i bet. I added probiotic to the babies, still poopy butt. I dont know how long it should take to help if its going to. So, how much is a scoop ? half gallon maybe ? One coop is eating 2 scoops a day and the other coop is eating one. The bag i just bought is gone. 6 days #50 lbs. The flock raiser I have always used is nothing but powder now. great for serama babies not so much for layers. $16. a bag.

Ugh. I don't know what's wrong with me. The past few days I've had absolutely zero energy. Today is really bad. I had to take a couple breaks putting my wagon together just for nap/zone out time. Sigh. Took a garbage can out to the dumpster (the wagon only holds one at a time it's JUST too short for the both of em.) and had to take a break after that. Ugh.

I have half a feeling it's the birth control I'm on...since I had this happen before on my "week off"...hopefully since I started back again last night it'll have me feeling human again.

Ah the days of worrying over birth control. I loved the depo shot since I only had to think about it every 3 months. Hubby has 4 I have 4. We had them all. We had one scare and I got a tubal. Out of money, room, energy & patience (not necessarily in that order). I feel for ya.

I confess it was easier in the motherland. Get a drug, doc visits were covered, had insurance to cover drug costs (so yeah only paid about 20% there) and only got about three months of drugs at a time. If I didn't like the side effects, no big deal go back to the doc and get a new prescription.

Here it's go to planned parenthood and pay an arm and a leg, get a years supply at once and deal with it....cause it'd be too expensive to go back for something different.

star, perhaps you need some good old fashion fried livers. I never used the stuff myself. (birth control) Mama said best control in the world was an aspirin. YUP ! Just hold that little sucker between your knees. Drs. told me i would never become pregnant after my daughter. she was my miracle baby. 14 yrs later , they were wrong.

 

[napdognewfie]

Lol Yeah they told me that too.

Lol well...hubs still has some growing up to do I think...he wants to wait anyways for a bit.

Ah well. At least I get my "kid fix" with the friends wee ones.

*edit* I've had to be on the pill since I was about 17 anyway cause I get miserable times of month without it. I mean flat out puking my guts out lots of pain...
