We used the cone method last week. Was quite peaceful (i was having messed up dreams from my childhood lol grandma would chop and us grandkids had to catch the body while she did the next one :/ ) it was a long time ago but oh how vivid.
We held her, petted her, slipped her in the cone and did the deed (hubby did actual cut) but no noise and no mess. We had a 5 gallon bucket underneath to bleed out.

I watched that one, and like 5,000 others lol. We are going to do the chopping block method. I'm gonna hold while hubby chops... Saw the 2 nails to hold head while one pulls legs, one chops. Seems faster/less stressful.. On me anyway. :/

Yeah, you've been around, like, forEVER.
You must be older than dirt.

 

I know, right? and she didn't bite. Which means I'll pay dearly for this somewhere down the line.

The biter is back. And yes, she will pay dearly and YEARLY for that one.

So exactly how fire-proof is your home?   

You got that right. Too funny !

Try laying it in its side don't be rough and look for the airsac and veins around the airsac roll it if you have to. It's usually easier to see through the blunt end that's where I look on dark eggs

Ok thank you. I haven't tried looking through the blunt end. I have tried turning in its side but I just can't see the veins. Most of the eggs are vey spotty when you shine the light so it's very hard to see what's in them.

I'm terrible at candleing. I'll never get it. :/

Is your insurance up to date and make sure the contract covers, you know, the "a" word. Lol.

Looks like I can replace the roof soon! Most of my renters refuse not to pay rent in some way and I refuse to accept rent from them until at least 2 weeks after the furlough is over. None know a thing about fixing anything but all are strong and offered to bring things up the ladder for me. That's all I need so we are going to work out 2 days in the schedule, lots of beer, and start working on it. Happy happy happy!!!

Good Luck!!! We'll keep our fingers crossed that all goes smoothly.

Update: There were funeral services yesterday for baby Christopher. He had been cremated. His parent's had brought his memorial box to a special Spanish mass. His box was placed on the alter. The entire mass was in Spanish. I was able to "follow along" with much of it, and pick up words here and there. The priest spoke to his parents, and I heard baby Christopher's name said often. It's very strange when you don't understand what's being said. After mass, the priest brought the memorial box back to his parents. Everyone in the congregation then went and hugged his parents.
It was very emotional. I hope that with this closure, that they are able to begin to find peace. It felt like things were in "limbo" until they had a memorial service.

Good morning everyone. I hoipe that everone had a great weekend. I went to Lowe's to lok for canning jars but forgot about them because I needed to buy some mini blinds and have them cut for a window. I"ll try back during the week.

I did stumble across a few deals this weekend at the Dollar General Store. I had been looking for throw pillos for my couch for about a year. I needed the perfect color because of the color of my couch and I found exactly what I had been looking for. When you walk in the store, they have their clearance rack right there, so you can't miss anything. When I saw the colored throw pillows, the heavens opened up and the Chariots of Fire song began playing in surround sound throughout the store. I quickly walked over to the clearance rack and looked for the clearance tag but I didn't see one but did see the sign that indicates if the original price is XXXX amount, then the sale price would be XXX amount sign. However, the $8.00 price was not listed on the sign . So, I took the pillow and brought it to the cash register and had the cashier scan it. The original price was $8.00 but I knew it wasn't $8.00 but thought it would be at least half off which would have made it $4.00 but was hoping for a lower pice. So as the cashier scanned the throw pillow, my heart was racing and pumping full speed and I held my breath in hopes that I could afford to buy all 13 pillows. Well to my surprise, it was my lucky day. After 1 year of looking and waiting and waiting and waiting some more, to find the perfect colored throw pillows for my couch, my wait was over. The pillow scanned at $1.10. e

I was speechless. I could not believe it. The cashier asked me did I want the pillow. I told him, NO, I wanted ALL OF THE PILLOWS ! I filled 2 baskets up with all 13 pillows.

I also found these 8 wine glasses for $0.10 each. I bought everything on the shelf One can never have too many wine glasses.

For some reason or another, Dollar General had all kinda stuff on sale. I use the ALL liquid detergent with no perfums or dyes. They had it on sale for $3.50. Regular price is $5.00. I had 3 coupons for $1.00 off, so I bought some for $2.50 each.

So, I was able to find a few things this weekend. I hope to find more stuff next weekend.
