I still have tears running down my face from reading "California Beach"

The bathroom one reminded me of my Brother and Sister in Law. Neither ever turns on the light.

My SIL had gone in to go pottie and my brother who was sick threw up all over her while she was sitting on the throne. I still laugh when I think about it.

I love those stories. They will brighten anyone's day.

It is something to do, anyway, while waiting for eggs to hatch ..... go read them!

uh oh...didin't I say I was retiring the bator after my wheaten marans hatch next week?

When is everyone setting their eggs..... the 11th I assume?

1) I am ordering the sweatshirt and a couple t-shirts!
2) Deb - that 'bator recovers FAST so go ahead and retrieve the hatchlings!
3) I came to work today with my pants on backwards (I thought the pockets felt funny but heck, it's cold, it is early, my fibromyalgia is kicking in, ho hum). I have since gone to the rest room to put 'em on correctly.

I have just hatched four Buff Orps, more to follow, maybe.

I will be doing the Trader Joe's experiment for my NY hatch.

sorry if I am asking a foolish question, but what is a trader joe's experiment?

Trader Joe's sells fertile eggs in some of its stores. Some folks have successfully hatched chicks from refrigerated TJ eggs. I am going to attempt it too, for my NY day hatch.

And, regards the pants thing, Missy, I just don't do mornings very well. Worked years of shift work, only had this "regular hours" job for 3 years now. Plus, with the chickens, I gotta take care of 'em in the mornings (and evenings, now, too!) in the dark. Then rush to dress for work.

Missy??!!

I will let you know that I have to take care of my chickens and horses well before the sun comes up on workdays! We have to leave the house around 5:45 to get to work on time. I have NEVER gone to work with my pants on backwards!!!!

Linda you crack me up!

ETA - had to order one of those sweatshirts too! SOOOOOO adorable!
