lol Olive, I really wish you'd tell us how you feel about things...you're really way too shy about your opinions

*kicks toe in dirt, diverts eyes* Well, golly. I'm working on it.

I do like a bit of bawdy humour.

Hi everyone. Looks like most of us stayed inside today. I'm thinking this weather is causing all our typical ailments to zing out of control as I had yet another big headache today. DH told me he heard the GR area is really bad right now with the highest pollen count in West MI. Add that to the gloomy day that just naturally tires you and you are just not gonna come out on top. Hope all you that are feeling a bit under the weather with headaches, allergies, sinuses, or other get to feeling better soon. I know I would love to.

On a brighter note, this damp weather seems to suit the chickens just fine as they are digging all over and coming up winners almost every time. Worms, slugs and bugs, Yum!

Oh my.

heehee, I have the "problem" of speaking what I think. A lot of the time it's at work when I have to clean up other peoples mistakes. The new employee we have said I probably complain about her when she's not there, I told her "No, if I have a problem I'll complain about it to your face. I'll also tell you if you have something in your hair or hanging from your nose...but not before laughing at you"

I worked in hardware and lumber for about 6 yrs and working with a bunch of crochety old men who tell you exactly how it is showed me that being up front and blunt is the best way to tell someone what you think.

I knew there was a reason I liked you.

I've never run across a good reason to sugar coat. I mean, Isuppose I could soften up a bit to appease people and make them like me more, but why would I want to be friends with people who wouldn't like me if they knew how/what I really think.

That made me think. So I went out to check the chicks since I took the heat lamp in for the orphan ducklings. All but 2 of the ISA Browns were in a nest box so I put the strays in with them. The 8-9 WO ducks are still out near the swimming pool. They were busy catching bugs and digging up the compost pile. Too much food to go to bed, I suppose.

The air temp is mid-50's and they know where the coop door is. If they want to go in, they know where to go. I'll check again before I go to bed.

I am not even going to think about quitting coffee until if / when I ever manage to quite smoking. I can't even begin to express the seething hatred I have for that habit and the control is has over me.

I smoked my "last" cigarette today, we will see how far I make it. It's not even 5 yet and I am already rationalizing to myself... "It would be better to cut down a bit more before going cold turkey, that would make it easier, shoot, probably even give a better chance at succeeding, so I should go buy just one more pack, wean down, then quit..." It is easy to see it for what it is, not so easy to resist.

You can do it!! I didn't smoke a ton near the end, but it was more than you, and I quit about 2 yrs ago now. Trust me, you can do it!! I had anxiety thinking about never smoking again before I even quit....but I just had to do it. I was able to bum one from people now and then for quite a while after I quit and not go back to it habitually, and now I haven't had one at all since Sept 2011. Sometimes I think I want one, and depending on the situation, I really crave one...but then I remember how gross they taste (when you don't smoke for a long time, they taste gross even if they smell good) and decide it's a bad idea. I mean, once you're an addict, you're always an addict, you just have to be stronger than it. Trust me, its the hardest thing I've ever done. If you want any tips or resources, or just plain encouragement, let me know.

I was going to ask how you could think he looks like anyone just from the top of his head, but maybe it's just that's I'm short and don't see the tops of anyones heads...

X 2 haha!

I was intently taking aim during a Beer-Pong match. Concentration is everything.

And a booger on the ball really messes with the other team.

EWWW

That must be why you talk to me.

I'm the same way!! Honesty is the best policy.

Buck the duck did not get a girlfriend. Only boys were for sale Sat. He seems to be doing pretty well as he gets to free range with the chickens.
