A few updates from me. First of all, I got home a half hour ago! I enjoyed the trip a lot. Not sure if I mentioned but the group I went with was from my church. We were mostly on this trip for summer fun and to relax a bit but we also got a chance to connect with god a bit as well.

I just went outside to check on the flock and found that mama hen lost her chick. She's still trying to "help" the other broody incubate the single duck egg. I'll be waiting until next Saturday to buy a few babies to split between the two.

I brought home salt water taffy from Seaside Candyman. I paid $17.99 for a little over 2lbs of taffy that I picked out. I was excited to try the blood orange one and it tasted so good!!

I have more photos and some videos that I'll be putting together into a single video to share here very soon

@fluffycrow You are from Greece? Isn't it like 4am right now there? You are always on BYC, do you ever sleep?

Why do you think they act like they do?

I edited in an "introduction" to this thread in the first post in hopes of curbing the members that come here to harrass everyone. Check it out, if you think something should be changed or maybe removed all together, let me know.

You need to make time for more sleep! Lack of sleep definitely messes with not only your body but your head as well. I am always at battle with anxiety and depression, if I don't get my sleep, life can look pretty dark. So yes, make a sleep schedule and stick to it!

I've read that during sleep is when the brain "cleans" itself too. Studies are showing that chronic lack of sleep can lead to increased risk of dementia.

The older I get, the more I realize that my health is my wealth. If it goes, I cannot buy it back for love nor money.

Clomp, clomp. Off my soapbox!

Yes, during REM sleep, waste and toxins are removed from the tissues surrounding the cells in the brain, so it's super important to get long deep sleeps. I am no spring chicken either, and feeling good becomes more valuable as we age. I definitely don't need to get anymore "brainless" than I already am, so lots of sleep is needed!
