I was talking about the same thing the whole time, and I really don't know anyone got it. The gun conversation went on far too long for me to believe that they did.

I pack it out after killing it, leaving footprints in the process. Then I take pictures. Awesome picture!!! Wow... maybe you should have included a diagram or a picture to get your point across!!!

Totally awesome costumes, but a costume wedding? I'd love to see the wedding photos from that one!!!
Good morning all!! Last night I locked down some eggs and candled others. I pulled 7 more Cochins from lockdown and I think 3 silkies from my day 13 eggs? I can't remember now what I pulled. I'll get a final count tonight.
I am setting a bunch more....I have 16 BCM eggs and 6 black crested Polish in hand. I have 2 dozen Mille D'uccle from TJ chickens sitting at the post office waiting for them to open. I have the 12 Olive eggers hanging out somewhere between here and Mobile. I have a mix of eggs - I think BCM, Biefielders, CCL and a couple others coming tomorrow, and then Blue/Buff cochins shipping out today - hopefully Saturday delivery?
My silkies have stopped laying, they aren't broody, don't appear to be molting. They all look good. The only one laying eggs is the one hen that the rooster doesn't play with. Hopefully they start back up again soon!
Ok, back to work. I'm another page or two behind! I hope everyone has a great day!!
Everyone seems worried about me showing up to the funeral in biker attire. I am truly offended by this. Oh well.
So I am looking in my closet for a particular black dress, and it isn't there. Before taking everything out of the closet, I need to vacuum the floor which is covered with pine chips and poop. After taking the ducklings out of the brooder yesterday to transport to the sitters' and wringing the chick's neck, you can imagine they left a few deposits behind.
I decided to go with the carpet scrubber. Let's just say, it did not work. I ended up just using the shop vac that I should have used to start with.
I took everything out of the closet, and discovered that I have far too much bedding in there since I do have another closet for such things. Still no dress, so I'm going to have to wear a sleeveless one. It isn't my favorite, but it's a dress!
I can't find my zippo anywhere, but I did manage to find my smokes. I have not had a cigarette in a very long time! Can I tell you? It felt soooo good to smoke that first cigarette!! I think I'm going to have to invest in an E-cig.
I know, but the price for mink and fox hasn't kept pace with inflation. We used to have some big fur farms here. I don't think there are any more.
Perhaps I could find a market in Russia or Italy.

I knew but left the innuendo alone.
I thought about it but I realized that person wasn't worth my time.
It took me a long time to get used to the tenderness on BYC.
