I am in the process of getting an e-mail out to everyone on the Wild Card Swap give away list.

Thank you for taking that chore. And I sent my request to KYTinpusher this am.

Morning guys! My day starts with a trip to the transmission shop for our farm truck. Wish me luck that it is not anything big.

In regards to the wildcard swap "giveaway", you cannot keep the swap for yourself. It is to be gifted to someone. I believe if you do not "award" it to someone, it will just be forfeited. It will not be awarded to you. The giveaway was designed in fun so people could award more swaps to the people they want to receive swaps from. 

thats not right, how is that fair. i won one and claimed one as a swap. my wild card swaps i have are mine. if we want to keep them then we should be allowed. that would mean i have to give the two away i just claimed as a swap. if this is the case i am not happy it is not right.

The two you have are yours to keep. There was a "fun" post a while back where everyone was given a wild card swap but you had to gift it to someone else. TO give it away you had to send a PM to Walli, I believe and tell her who you wanted that wild card to go to.

Exactly right.
The list walli posted was for the giveaway swap, not for your regular wild card swaps. I will have to look up the post # where the giveaway swap was explained.

late night cuteness overload

sfh, lav am

Wow...so much cuteness. I need cuteness!!!!! I need fluffy goslings!!!!

Well, today was a bad day. It started out ok but really has gone out with a bang. I got stuck on a two hour call this afternoon. During this time my cell phone kept ringing. I finally got off the call at 530, and listened to my voicemail. Turns out that my son had gone into one of his autistic fits. Screaming, throwing things, breaking furniture (he is a big kid, 5'11 at 13). It has been many years since he has been like this, and I was shocked to hear this. I tried to call his teacher, but of course it was too late. Then I texted my DH to see if my son had told him about it. He hadn't but told my DH that he hadn't been taking his meds for at least a week (I suspect my ex's influence here with his anti big pharma stances). Now I have to find out how to get him back on his meds. I scheduled an emergency therapy session for tomorrow, and I have to try to convince the school not to boot him out. I thought we were done with this phase of his life. Apparently his meds help him to live a normal life; more than I suspected. I can't stop crying, I had to leave work early as I could hardly function. My whole existence with my son has to do with being able to believe that he will be able to live a normal life in the future. I take it really hard when something removes some of that hope.

To top it off, tonight was the night I set to float test the eggs I had set. All were high floaters, no movement. They are two days late on fresh, not shipped eggs, so I wasn't expecting them to pass any test. I opened them up and they all died a week ago when the bator spiked to 104. It also spiked to 109 (why would an incubator even go that high!!!!!) I am not hopeful for the eggs that are in the other bator. They were in Spike when it went to 104. I am still holding out hope though. The new bator has been great. Steady temp at 99.5. No spikes or anything. I feel like crying.

Sorry for the rant...

you poor thing. and so awful that your ex is undermining you like that. your son will get better once he is back on his meds...hopefully he will realize he feels better when he is on them. I want to smack your ex. and sorry about the incubator spikes...I am so confused why they cant make incubators that don't do that. all it would take is a a cutoff switch linked to a thermostadt. but I guess it's the thermostadt thats the problem in the first place...

It stinks that you only ended up with one chick, but it sure is a cutie! Hehe...I would name it Stomp. That looks like what happened- stomped straight through the shell lol. I hope it doesn't end up with a temper to go with the stomping.

Herducks- so sorry that you only got one chick this time. but what a personality!!! hope he's a she!!!!

Morning guys! My day starts with a trip to the transmission shop for our farm truck. Wish me luck that it is not anything big.

fingers crossed that it is easy and cheap

I have eggs supposed to hatch today. I hope we can make it with the generator until then. It is starting to "miss" and husband is displeased that we have had to run it non-stop because of the incubator. I guess no more incubating eggs for me in the winter.
