I got it backwards then. LOL everyone always talks about the pointy side down for everything,I must have missed the part where candling was supposed to be the air cell down and not the pointy side.

Haha. Well, okay then. I'll recheck air cells tonight before they go into the incubator, with them candled the right way.

Keep the pointy side down and candle from the top.

My husband's not a gamer. He just doesn't understand

I was never any good at them. DH was working for a "cloud" gaming company, but he's not a gamer either.

Depends on the arrow head. A broadhead wouldn't fit but a target point could.

Target point. Gotcha.

Sometimes my eyes glaze over. Perhaps he just needs to slow down. I've seen some well written posts from him.

Yes, when he takes his time to slow down and think about what he's writing he can do a good job.

I'm pretty sure those times you are seeing his mother. Not kidding. Those posts are rapidfire.

Candle down through the air cell.

I can see the air cells with the point side down.... so it never bothered me to do it that way.

One light on top and one on the bottom work really well!

It is subjective. I don't want to pick them up or carry them around. If I was able to, they wouldn't try to kill me. I think the birds that are comfortable around you are those most likely to attack.
I like wild birds that stay away from me and other predators.
That's just me.

Ya' think?


I do both.

I don't get new obsessions very often. I've had the same 2 games I've played (once, since 1999) and the other since 2004.

I dabble in other games once in a blue moon, but I always go back to my 2 favorite games.

Being autistic, I have a pretty limited scope of interests (all of my interests are actually listed in my diagnoses, because I have so few.)

So, getting a new one like the chickens, my husband encouraged because it encourages me to be social, leave the house, and do other things, like participate in 4h with my daughter for her chickens. LOL

I actually talk to grown ups about something besides kids now.

Quote: This may be a dumb question, but have you tried putting up a sign @ the end of the lane/driveway? In years past, when we were getting more eggs than we and family needed, we had customers (total strangers) showing up after seeing the sign at the end of the lane. Of course the attraction was the brown (magic word) eggs & the fact that we beat grocery store prices & still bought feed with egg sales

honor system eggs

 

[DwayneNLiz]

honor system eggs

thats how they all are around here

 

[Sally Sunshine]

and here, or they are Amish and you have to go to the farm and you end up buying pies and milk and cookies and forget the eggs
