Townline doesn't sell true Ameraucanas and Araucanas. They birds they do sell are actually Easter Eggers, hatchery created mutts. I understand they they mislabel their birds as "Araucana-Ameraucana-Strain", which causes a lot of confusion some folks. That doesn't make EEs bad, it just means that the birds are not the purebreds they are labeled to be...

That is good to know.

Aggravated!  Someone has made purchases on my debit card without me having ever lost it.  Not sure where they got the number from but it could be anywhere in town.  I've never used it online.  So the card has been marked compromised and unusable now.  I first noticed the issue in my account, a purchase that stood out like a sore thumb.  It was a check with an absurdly high number and for a store I've never even heard of, way out in Arizona.   Then, while on the phone with the bank I find out that a purchase was denied at a Walmart (I wouldn't be caught dead in a Walmart --DH works for Meijer HQ-- so I know it wasn't me, lol).  I doubt the person was caught but I hope they enjoy their $300 purchase from Cowtown Boots, buggers.  I'll be getting that money back, of course, but still...  This happened to me once before, years ago.  Some idiot used my credit card number to buy me some "special" certain organ-enhancing vitamins, shipped to my door and everything.  Back then though, the cops actually, futilely came to your door and filed reports, which they did.  Nothing ever came of it naturally, and I was refunded.  No, I didn't keep the vitamins.  I sent them back from whatever shady California shack they came from.  If I could thrive in this country without cards and credit, I would in a heartbeat.   But it's not realistic.  We'd have no house.    Necessary evil.

Oh yeah, and someone tried to hack my facebook account last month too.  ALL of my passwords have been changed everywhere online, just as a precaution.  
 

That happened to us shortly after Christmas. Someone purchased several Walmart gift cards with my husbands debit card. We never shop there so yea, it stood out. Sooo aggravating.

That's interesting because this was shortly after Christmas too (just that I found the issue yesterday). So do people give hacker kits to loved ones for Christmas now?

as long as they are not washed, you can keep them atleast 2 to 3 months. ive read in other countrys they never refridge the eggs.. and sell them right on the shelf.

In Mexico, at the supermarket the eggs are stacked up on a counter, 100 to a layer (10X10) , maybe 5-8 layers, all uniform and white, obviously factory farmed. At the municipal market eggs are brown or speckled or even white, and most have a down feather or maybe a spot of poo or some grass attached. And they cost more.

This is not true... they are pure... chicken. hAHAHAH! Just kidding. I think you are right though, they really should label them by what they are, green egg layers of the mixed up persuasion. Or EEs. LOL I picked up 2. Cute little bearded buggers.

You may need to consider that your computer has been comprimised...

That happened to me twice last year. I was going for a record on replacing cards. The first time it was used to give somebody in prison in Missouri credit to buy goodies.
I love seeing everyones' baby pictures
