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

Hahaha!

It's Mark Zuckerburg, the CEO of Facebook! He may not have looks, but he sure is all set for life in terms of money...

I know, hence the eeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwww!!! He's got to be one of the most arrogant men to walk the surface of the planet. I guess money doesn't count if you can't give lots of it away and aren't willing to give credit where it's due. Having been in IT most of my adult life, I don't like that type. NOW, if I win the Mega Millions, I'll demonstrate how one ought to use money...but you have to play to win!

I got sucked into the Mega Millions this time when I was wasting more money on a pack of cigarettes. Weighing which would be better for me, I bought 5 draws and only ONE pack o' smokes. If I win, I'll certainly show that ... Fellow..... (wondering if "putz" is legal to say in BYC?) how to benefit others with money, too.

This is in response to someone but multiquote didn't work...

Boyfriend can't take care of the skunks, so I do. Boyfriend hates skunks more than anything on the planet. If we smell a dead skunk while we're driving he starts retching. It's really that bad for him. I've thrown up a few times while trying to bag a juicy one, but I do it.

The first skunk I ever shot was one that kept coming around dusk and digging up my fence to try to get in my run. I asked boyfriend if I should shoot it, and he gave me the "Please don't, it'll stink" lecture. Well this was a few years ago and he wasn't living here. He was working the late shift at work so on Monday night I shot the thing (really, I don't listen well). I bagged it and left it in the driveway. I figured I'd feign diarrhea or something at work and leave about an hour early, go home, grab the bag-o-skunk-carcass, strap it to the top of my car, and take it to the dump and he wouldn't be the wiser. I was pretty proud of myself for my ingenuity and sneakiness.

So... about 1030 the next morning (Tuesday) I get a text from him asking if I needed anything done or picked up before he went into work. He's nice like that. So I write back that I'm ok. He then said that he had already been to my house, filled the stove up and took the trash to the dump.

Oh, crap.

So I text back, trying to be as non-chalant as possible... thanking him for doing it. I get back: "And yes, I got the bag in the driveway with the dead skunk in it that I asked you nicely not to shoot."

So anyway, I take care of the skunks by default. And I will never, ever get away with anything.

I used to live on a stretch of road that was the local skunk crossing. The traffic did 65+ mph along the stretch, so skunk squish was a common occurence. Sometimes on a hot summer night, the odor was so strong it would make my eyes water and I couldn't sleep, even if I closed all my windows trying to keep out the lovely summer aroma.

One evening I was watching a CSI type show on TV. As each cop entered the room, they put a dab of Vicks on their upper lip to stop the smell of ripened corpse and I instantly made the connection.

From then on, if the smell of eau de skunk was strong, I'd cancel out the odor with a dab of Vicks. I never had another sleepless night due to the smell of squished skunk.

If I sleep at night with the windows open I wake up when one walks by... even if they don't spray they still have that odor.

My nose is pretty sensitive... it's uhm... big enough, certainly, to be up to the task.

I'll have to try the Vicks thing... or the north eastern thing... bag balm.

Vicks VapoRub really IS what pathologists use in autopsies if they are not smokers or coffee drinkers.

...Hey, I've just had a lot of experiences in my life.....

When I was in junior high my friend used it to keep her stud horse from being able to smell her mares. I've used it on my dogs when a female is in heat.

So at 430 I kicked broody Black Betty off her nest. She seemed fine. She ate and laid down in the shavings for a bit. Had a colossal broody poo. She's been broody less than a week. And she's a great broody.

At 645 I went out to put the chickens to bed. I'm missing a chicken. Black Betty isn't in her nest.

I find her under the coop, she looks like shes laying on dirt thinking it's her eggs. So I pick up a 2x4 to push her with it and try to convince her to go back to bed. She acts really weird and stiff and pretty much rolls in a 180. I am able to run around the coop and pick her up. She's stiff and weak, can't stand, can't keep her head up.

She's dying. I know it.

She's on my lap right now, I brought her into the house where it's warm (cause she was cold) so she can die somewhat comfortably.

What could have possibly happened in the slightly more than 2 hours since I threw her off the nest?

Also some of you may have noticed Laree's been MIA. She's been up to super secret important work lately and was unable to run her Liar, Liar Pants on Fire Contest.

However, she still had a prize to give away.

She used a random number generator to choose a random post number, and will give the prize away to the poster of the random number chosen.

The winner is... Cynthia12 on Post # 6635

Congratulations, Cynthia! You posted and won! Please PM LareePQG your mailing address.
