Well Opa two of Raz's degrees can be useful in certain situations the other one is not useful in any situation.

Good morning everyone,

Welcome Kevin, Bull and anyone else I may have missed.

Coffee seems extra good this morning.

Hope everyone's day is off to a good start.

Good morning Michigan, hope you all are enjoying your seed drinks.

Hi bull, glad you dropped in

No northern lights here Taprock, cloudy last night. Today too unfortunately.

Welcome Bull!!!

Farmerboy - love the pineapple, I tried years ago but did not have the patience to wait that many years for it to do anything.

Hoping for successful hatches to all that are setting eggs. Still waiting rather impatiently for my chicks to arrive in March. Time seems to have slowed to a crawl.

The Orchid Show is this Saturday at Meijer Gardens if anyone is interested. I will certainly be there.

Farmerboy - Cool Pineapple!

My Marans girlie is still sickly and in my bathroom to my DH's dismay. I thought I was going to lose her last night but she was alert and drinking this morning but still very weak. We got through the impacted crop issue but she had sour crop ontop of that.

This morning her crop was empty...finally. So in addition to her doses of yogurt and vitamens she got to have some warm grits this morning. When I first put the grits in there she just looked at it and went back to sleep. When I checked on her before I left she had a face full of grits.

I am hoping this is a sign that she is going to turn around soon.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY OPA!

Babigyrl - hope your Maran gets better soon.

Thanks for the well wishes for my dog (and Aunt). He was not improving at the vet where they wanted him to. The toxic shock causes hypothermia or was it hyperthermia...lol, well either way, his temperature was too low and they wanted him to eat on his own to help bring it up. Gino was soooo funny with the vet. She had tried getting him to eat and he just held the food in his mouth and then snubbed his nose at her and spit it out when she left. They decided he'd probably do better at home. When we left to go home she said good bye to him and he literally stuck his nose in the air and turned away from her... wouldn't acknowledge she even existed! LOL! He ate really well when we got home and his temp has been slowly rising. We kept him bundled up for the night and he ate well again this morning too. I think he just needed to be home.
He's pretty sore but it looks like he'll be fine!

I'm totally excited about seeing The Blue Man Group.. we have seats front and center (out of the rain coat section though) I like to be close, but not that close! Friday night we're meeting with a friend that just moved out there and I think we'll spend most of Saturday outside of Vegas near the canyons.. we're not much for gambling and prefer to sight see!

Hasn't this winter been crazy? Well, should I say lack of winter so far? I have to admit, I'm liking it! The deer and other critters are probably having an easier time. Last night I woke up to coyotes yapping and yowling... apparently they like to sound off when sirens go off too! But I still got up and watched the chicken coop for a few minutes to make sure they weren't planning on bird for dinner. (the geese and other larger birds won't go in anything at night, except for a shelter I made out of straw, and the weather has to be bad for them to go inside).

Opa, I hope you have a very Happy Birthday!!!

Bull!! This is a chatty bunch, so try and keep up!


HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SAM!! Hope you have a wonderful day! Make it a fun day.


My mom and aunt were the gamblers. You would find me outdoors walking around or reading a book. After the long MI winters, I did not want to sit inside. My parents had a condo in AZ and they would have coffee klutches almost every day. Sitting inside with all these wonderful older people with German being spoken non stop, well, I would wander outside and sit in the glorious sun. The coffee klutches slowed down a bit while I was there visiting, instead we went to parks and to the mountains and long wonderul walks. I liked Laughlin NV also. Amazing walking trail and beautiful parks. Much better than inside a smoky casino!!

Raz I was doing some research on the Organismal degree seems the only instructor I could find is Ben Dover.
Good luck to all who are setting eggs.
My ADD will inhibit me from responding to everyones going ons, and I don't want to offend... hey the coffee is done.
