"Louisiana "La-yers" Peeps"

Good morning everyone. It's chilly outside. I think I will be in all day.


Quick story/vent......

I was laying in bed and I heard a horn blow. As I ignored the sound and hoped that this wasn't someone sitting in their car honking their horn for ME to get out of the comfort of my home to cater to their immediate needs, the honking did not stop. So, I looked out of the window and lo and behold there was someone parked in my yard and still honking their horn. So, I put on some clothes and I opened the door. A lady was sitting in an SUV. I asked her could I help her. She the proceeds to ask me did all of the animals belong to me. Uh well YES. Duh.... Did you think they belonged to the people that live down the road? So, she asked did I have any turkey and duck hens for sale. I told her no because they were laying. So then she asks if I has guineas that "fly". I said yes. She said that she needed flying guineas. She said that she bought some guineas from a feed store and the guy at the feed store told her that the guinea that she was going to buy were flying guineas but when she put them at her camp that predators killed them because the guineas didn't "fly"away. She said that she needed guineas to put at her camp to sleep in the trees. So that means no shelter for protection. Soooooo, that means she won't be buying any animals from me. I don't send my animals on suicide missions. I just don't get it. What's the purpose of getting birds and throwing them in a tree????


And my pet peeve is someome coming to my house and laying on the horn. I think that is sooooo disrespectful in my opinion. Geg YOUR butt out of your vehicle and knock on my door or ring my bell. I usually just let people sit in their cars and blow their horns and I never go outside but this person kept honking.


Let's see how the rest of the day goes.


Have a great day ya'll.

Gosh, what nerve! Good grief what a piece of work!


Man, you showed a whole lot more self control than I would have! I am sure that by the time she got to the part about the guineas at her camp I would have told her that she was too stupid to own animals and that I sincerely hoped she was sterile; so she did not birth and rear any more ignorant, rude, self-entitled morons such as herself.


Yea, sometimes, I have I have to bite my tongue because it the "Tasmanian Devil" (ME) starts spinning out of control, it won't be pretty. ;)

You are so right, Julie.  Honk sitting is rude, rude, rude.  I can remember that if someone came for me when I was a teenager and honked the horn, the only one going out of the house was my father to let them know that I would not be going anywhere.  Also, when I would come home, if I sat in the car more than 2 minutes, the porch light would start going off and on.  I hated it then, but can appreciate it now.  Wasn't it Mark Twain or someone like that that said something like this:  "when I was a young man of 16 years, I couldn't believe how little my parent knew, but when I became a man of 21, I couldn't believe how much they learned in just 5 years!"  That is a terrible paraphrase, but you get the gist.   :)   I don't think that lady got the memo!  :barnie

Okay, well let me share with you my moron story for the day.  Not as good as the crazy lady wanting tree guineas, but I am aggravated.  I posted an ad for the cochin chicks I have available. I get a message asking if they can come get two pullets.  My response was naturally, "I do not vent sex, these are straight run.  At three weeks it is very difficult to make a guess on a cochin's sex by combs."  I get a response that says okay, can I come look tomorrow.  I send directions, the link to my web page so they aren't nervous about driving out here to the boonies thinking they're driving to the Chainsaw Massacre house or anything...and after about an hour of back and forth, I get another message that says, "Ya know, I'm kinda iffy.  If I can't be guaranteed pullets, I guess I'll just take my chances with the cochin eggs I got off of ebay that are in my incubator."  

My thoughts are...well, if you have eggs in your incubator and you know anything about chickens...why the heck are you demanding pullets from me?  And why drag out that conversation for that entire length of time to just change your mind over two chicks?  Geez...

Needless to say, I still have beautiful cochin chicks to part with.


:smack That would have ticked me OFF! :mad:

LOL @ lady wanting tree guineas :lau :lau

Yeah, I try really hard to bite my tongue because if I don't, I will probably have to apologize and it wasn't me that started the whole rude rude rude thing, but in the end, I end up being the worse one. LOL I'm a work in progress.

We all love chickens and despise the morons who seem to surround us. Sounds like a group of great minds here!
 
RATS! rain & wind moving in rapidly! there go our plans to work on the coop overhaul this afternoon.
Oh well, plenty to do inside. Plus I need to go over to the greenhouse & start some more garden seeds.
