"Louisiana "La-yers" Peeps"

[TerriLaChicks]

Ooooooooo, I"m not sure what to tell you on that Terri. Mine have never done that. Mine tend to stick to their own kind. They don't bother the other animals. Sorry.

Can you lock them up for a few days to see if anything changes?

They won’t even go into the coop at night anymore. They roam all over the place and sleep on top of the peacock pen – right in the dead center of it – so no way to get close to them w/a net at night either. Now when I went home for lunch, everybody was fine! They don’t do it all of the time – it’s like they just suddenly take a wild hair to attack the roosters. I’m still looking for a solution. Besides gumbo that is. I really like NOT having snakes around!

Somebody mentioned if there’s too many males they tend to become aggressive, and I have 3 males & 1 female, so maybe if we eliminate 2 males and just leave the pair, and let them raise some more of their own in the spring, that might be a possible solution. ???

Well I am a Southern myself and I just love how warm and friendly the people are here. I am an outdoors lover and this state has so many breathtaking and wonderful things. We just couldn't leave it. All the wonderful traditions and history were part of that decision.

I'm a cancer in the cusp of Leo, I guess that's where I get my fire. I really am a cancer home-body with fire. Lol. What is a ginge??

Mine is the 19 and my daughters is the 26th. I am cancer with leo cusp and she is leo with cancer cusp, talk about butting heads. My husband was a sag on a scorpio cusp and my son is a sag on a cap cusp. I don't know why but all of my family are born on or in a cusp. Maybe it is the ginger in us.

Nope, cancer here, but I am a ginge! They say we are rare because 3/5 are born infertile, but I don't see it.

Nah my Mom has 5 kids and 5 grand kids and exactly half of us are redheaded 2 children and 3 grand children and none are mine I have only one redhead sister she has 2 red heads and one dishwater blond and my brunette sister has the one red head and one brunette. Us 3 boys have none. Not rare in this gene pool and the girls were plenty fertile as they got preggy when wanted and I'm sure a couple not planned LOL Us boys we don't know whether were fertile but evidently if we are there must a been quite a few infertile females along the way as we don't have any results to show for all the efforts LOL

The rarity comes more so from it taking two recessive genes to align to produce red heads.

That sounds like another one of my long time friends. We were best friends in elementary, junior high and high school. We went to different colleges and she met a guy (she later married him) that physically abused her. She would tell me about it ever now and then but I never asked questions or gave my opinion about it because it wasn't my place to tell her to leave him and I know THIS is a touchy subject with anyone. All I told her is that she knew what she needed to do and that no one could MAKE her change her circumstances. I always feared for her life. She distanced herself from a lot of her friends for whatever reasons but I was the only person who knew what was going on but I never spoke about it to anyone. It's been 20 years and she is still with this guy (her husband) and has 3 kids. She moved to Opelousas about 10 years ago and I have seen her (in Walmart) maybe twice. She has since gained a lot of weight and I think she is embarrassed to see anyone because of it. I always try to reach out to her to make sure that she is ok and that she is still alive. She has said before in the past to check on her from time to time to make sure that she is ok. I can only imagine what message she is trying to tell me - (make sure that he hasn't killed her). I follow her requests but she is never home. She has not returned my calls in about 8 years but I still try to reach out to her every few months. I am so afraid that I will wake up and read her obituary. But there is nothing I can do about it. I can only pray for her and hope that God protects her from the abusive hands of her husband. And to top it off her husband works for the Sheriff Department. I pray that my friend sees another year ever year.

There is nothing you can do for her except pray and offer a way out if she chooses. It doesn't sound like she will ever leave because of fear. Battered women of police have a greater fear of leaving than regular battered women and you know how hard it is for them. The weight gain would have been a way for him to further control her. Keep her in your prayers.

Yeppers. My brother and son in law are Leo in Cancer cusp. Need I say more??? BIG Clash. Funny that my daughter and a lot of significant people in my life are Sagittarius. The two aren't suppose to mix, but I am drawn to them. Maybe it's my Leo fire. Lol
I don't believe in horoscopes, but I read a lot on the characteristics of the Signs and it does seem to fit. Also, my best friend that I mentioned before. She is a Sagittarius too. Lol

That's a very difficult situation. In my opinion, you are handling it the best way you can. You are there for her. I've found that sometimes the woman might fear for the safety of her children. Fear of how they would be treated when there was visitation. Continue to be there for her. One day, she will reach out.

Yes, that's why I have not gotten angry or given up on her because she has not returned my call in 8 years. She'll call when she is ready. The last time that I talked to her about 8 years ago she made the comment (and I will never forget her words) that she has a lot of friendships to "repair" because of her lack of communication throughout the years. My response to her was, "For those of us who are true friends and truly understand the meaning of friendship, their is no damage done, so no repair needed. We'll pick up where we left off." I think she got the message.

Yes. And when she reaches out, I"ll be right here.
