Mahonri's 3rd Annual, BYC Easter Hatch-a-long!

.


Did you guys hate it when you used a word at school that you *thought* was a commonly known english word only to be ridiculed by your classmates?

Mine was being teased for saying the word almond. I've adapted to the way most people say it, just so I don't get looked at funny, all-mund or all-mun. But, I grew up in a huge almond growing region, the farmers and packers all say a-mend, which is also the way it's listed in the dictionary.

But people look at you funny, LOL.

Oh, and being of Finnish descent, I have to pronounce sauna as sow-na, which is the correct Finnish pronunciation.

I love that stuff too. Matter of fact I'm going to give homemade laundry detergent a shot and it's one of the ingredience. I have a really dark green carpet and I'd use it on it, but don't know if it would work on something this dark without bleaching it out.

Note! Dark carpets NEVER look clean. Second house with the exact same color. Everything shows on it.

Rest? I wish. I'm so tired right now, but think I did to much my first day and I hurt. But if I take even half a pain pill, I won't be up till noon. Not good.

It won't do anything to the carpet. You just sprinkle it on, let it sit and vacuum it up. walking on the carpet breaks down the particles and creates a gas cloud that nukes any fleas. I never ever had any discoloration on any fabric, carpet, couch, etc., that I have ever used it on.

I too grew up in an area where Almonds were grown. When I was in grade school, we had five acres of them. We sold them to Diamond in Chico.

They are All-munds when they are on the tree. After they are harvested they are A-munds, because the L was knocked out of them.

Have fun!

Edited to correct spelling Ron

Laree, My daughter-in-law's name is Letticia. Her family calls her Letty, pronounced Le-TEE, but during her school years, all her teachers and classmates pronounced her name, Leady. This was pointed out to me by one of her brothers shortly after making the mistake myself. It's made me more aware of listening to how someone pronouces their own names when they introduce themselves. That is the problem with just reading it here, no pronounciation help. Thanks for letting us know your pronouciation!! If I ever get to AZ, I wouldn't want to embarass myself!!

Okay, I'll probably embarass myself anyway, but it won't be saying your name wrong!

Just call her the super-busy-ubber-creative-super-friendly-comletely-helpful-sorta-brilliant-a-little-nutso-crazy-chicken-lady

Bwahahahaha, I used to think her name LaREE.Now I have to call her Chicken Larry because I have a very dear friend who is an older gentleman named Larry and sometimes when I say Larry did .... My family looks at me like I'm crazy if I don't clarify which one I'm talking about.

Of course sometimes it's fun to let them guess

Good to see you're still here Mahonri. I've never incubated before, but I'm thinking about maybe sorta doing it for some of the rarer breeds I like that are hard to get full grown. What do y'all think? Of course, I'd need an incubator...

Good to know. It works on spiders too and we get them bad. My grand daughter is so allergic to their bites they put her in the hospital. I'll be doing this this week if I can get this danf shop vac to cooperate.
 
Well I found a decent online recipe for poppy seed loaf that I can alter to be similar to what I'm used to... but I can't locate poppy seed around here.

So... instead I'm in the process of making bread, herb artisan and white loaf. I should be cleaning out the chicken coop but it's a slippery alternating with muddy mess out there and I just don't wanna.

I'm sure they'll forgive you IF you bring them a few crumbs from your bread baking efforts!
