Wow I saw the moon I almost forgot what it looks like...the creek is still running and we pumped the lake down..the forecast is no rain for 2 days the rain again Christmas night.....rain on and off until the first..I wonder if I can get all the mud off my horse to go riding...it's very soggy right now 5 inches of rain since Friday and our normal for the year is 12......some places got over 8 inches many years ago we had rain like that here you never forget it I didn't have a creek it was a river and no driveway for months

Brrrrrrrrrr, I'd freeze my tush off there!

As for the egg turning, I'm not positive, but I think it's more critical at the beginning of incubation. I have an egg turner, so I don't have to worry about it.

Well I'm getting tired and I can barely keep up on here!

Hope I sleep well tonight. I'm looking forward to the time off.

Egg turning is most critical from days 10 to 18. Less critical before that.... as I understand it.

Oh wow, you must have sooooooo much higher tolerance to stupidity than I do. I just know I'd end up saying something to someone!

I worked at the circus for a while as a horse groom.
After telling people about a zillion times to stay behind the fence because horses bite I get asked "Do horses have teeth?" I replied...
"No, they just suck the grass off the ground."
"Really? WOW That's cool!"

It was an adult too...

I did then tell them the truth and had to show them teeth because they didn't believe me...

It's so nice to meet other people who deal with the level of stupid we do on a daily basis! Most people on get minimal amounts of stupid, we get heaped with it!

The first time someone asked me if their medication came in a different flavor "because this chocolate is godawful" I had the unfortunate reality of asking what the medication was...

"phenergan supp"

oh no... that "supp" was short for suppository.

At least they unwrapped it first.

*dies laughing*

 

[Mahonri]

swallowed any chocolate phenergan lately.....
