Hoppy, the swag is creative and beautiful and Musstard Tiger, the salt dough ornaments are works of art! Such creative folks we have on this chat.
Widget, you have a lot of initiative. It really bugs me that they penalize folks on umemployment for making the effort to get reemployed and fill in with part time jobs (they do the same with folks on disability who struggle to do what they can to help themselves). It is like they are punishing those who are trying the hardest to do the right thing. When my husband's employer iaid off the staff, he got unemployment for a long time since he got all the part time jobs (carpentry and census, etc ) he could and at least the funds now bump to the future when they are displaced by "odd jobs" these days (unlike the old days when if you earned $10 baby sitting one week (literally) you were "employed", got nothing for that month, had to requalify and wait anothe 2 week waiting period to be elegible again the next month). They do let you earn a whopping $25 now before being penalized (wha hoo!)
Good news to report, after nearly 2 weeks of not eating and being force fed formula of eggs, a little molasses and diamond v, Rue hen the EE suddenly perked up a few days ago and started eating her pellets like a little pigglet! Her wounds have healed and she could breathe after eating without streatching her neck. She started resisting care like a normel stubborn chicken. She is now out of the "chicken hospital" rabbit cage in my bathroom and back in with her sister and friends in the coop and seems fine. They were a little mean to her at first (but no real attacks or pecking) and she has moved from 2nd to 5th out of 7 in the pecking order but all seems well.

Unfortunately he is not on board with the idea right now.
