Yes, mine too. And he wasn't any smarter than the teenaged boys about it either! EX explains a lot of it!

We told the kids- no fireworks this year, not even sparkelers as we have had no rain and it's super dry- they understood- now hopefully our renters won't burn any of our units down!

We seemed cooler today and all the chickens are doing good- we make sure to change water morning and night.

Wow, you must be cooler up there? I have been changing water 3-4 times a day. I went out at noon, and I'd bet their water was about 90*! Not condusive to a lot of water drinking.

And yes, so called adults are the ones to watch! Teenagers I can scare off with common sense talk; adults if they haven't learned common sense by now, aren't going to! Those are the ones that scare me the most, especially the drunk/high ones!!

Quote: Stay safe.... I hate fireworks..... HATE HATE HATE Them..... I was at a friends house and her step son dropped a bottle rocket in the BIG pile of fireworks and they all started to go off.... through the house over the house on the porch.... EVERYWHERE. They also had a small incident where he was playing chicken or something with the bottle rockets and set a girls hair on fire WTH?


I HATE FIRE WORKS..... AT HOME! The big ones are ok.... a little unnerving but OK.
NOW I understand why fireworks are illegal in Massachusetts!!!! I just thought the state government was over reacting. Apparently NOT!

Hope every one was ok!

I have an alarm when it gets too hot for the chooks. It's called "The Flossy Alarm". Flossy is a hatchmate of Roy and Clyde, and when she gets hot, there is NO doubt! She honks like a goose any way, but when she gets hot and wants to go into the coop, she lets out this awful strangled long goose honk that sounds like it's combined with a crow, and another sound like a person ready to heave their lunch. It's just awful, but she has done this since she was little, so I guess she's ok, she's 2 years old!?

How convenient!!

Have you heard of the books called THe Stupid Gene THeory? It's published every few years with new stories about how stupid people can be and the lethal consquences. Sad but also funny. How many woman do stupid things compared to men, esp teenage boys. IT's a wonder they survive. ANd mine are only 8 and 10! Sometimes I have to hold my breathe and pray. Selection of the least stupid, I guess.
