Minnesota!

@Minniechickmama that sucks! insurance payments are nice but that doesnt really get you ahead in situations like yours where you are trying to milk just a little bit more out of your car when it isnt worth much. i had a dodge neon the same way. old lady in a bravada drove over the hood of it at 45 mph
 
Sorry to hear about your day Minnie. I hope tomorrow is better for you...make sure to take a hot bath and a advil or something...
 
@coffee 1st it was great having you over! We need to get together again. You are so sweet & your pup is a cutie. I'm so glad to have you a part of the group.

@Minniechickmama I'm so sorry about you close encounter. Continue to take care of yourself. Abdominal pain can be fun to track down.
 
now I'm confused..Yes again..LOL... I have the Ivomec to kill mites.. So how often do i put that on them? i was reading around BYC and people use that for a wormer... If i use Ivomec and it kills worms then why would I use the Valbazen? wouldn't it be overdosing the chickens? or treating them for the same thing twice?/ Thanks .....

Coffee, that poor girls ear :(  ouch!  never seen anything like it!  

I was going to post about lessons I learned last winter as a first time chicken owner with a smaller coop/flock, but it will have to wait as after reading all this, I don't have any time left to do it.  I'll have to try and get it out here tomorrow.

Nite nite everyone!

As an insomniac first time chicken owner, yeah, I want to read!
 
You do understand that if we all learn to use the "multi" function, then we will have fewer posts, therefore removing our thread from kicking butt against the Pet house duck in a diaper threads.



Well, I did say I wouldn't be on until tonight, but let me tell you all about my day.....

I had a doctor's appointment this morning to try to identify this abdominal pain I have had the last two months.  This is an odd one, so she set me up with a CT on Monday.  I don't think it is terribly serious, but may need surgery, and THAT will really not be good.  If I have abdominal surgery, then recovery is going to put an end to all the work I need to do to get ready for winter and will mean someone had to help me do chores every day.  Probably why I waited so long to go in.  Folks, I am not going to get too worried about this, so I hope you all don't either.  When I say surgery, it is possibly just my appendix starting to 'go out'.


THEN...I picked up DS from school (it was an early release day).  We went to Kwik Trip to gas up and get a car wash where a flock of starlings or something decided my dark blue van would look better with white dots.  I go to the car wash, get done in the wash mode and I am pulling ahead to the blowers, inching my way through.  I got about 1/3 of the way passed the blowers, and BAM!!!!!  75-ish year old lady behind me in a Durango, it seems mistook her gas pedal for her brake.  I think my van is totaled. :barnie   I have a 2003 Town and Country we bought new and want to run until the motor or tranny dies.  To be totaled over this is not making me happy.  I have a year left on the truck and do not want to have another car payment, so I will just drive the truck if they don't just cut us a check for the repair.  The repair entails the entire back of my car being replaced: the gate, the bumper and everything associated with those two things.  She just kept saying, "I am a good driver.  I put my foot on the brake and it wouldn't stop!"  Really?  If you put the clues together, lady, I think you can figure out what happened, just stop denying it already.  

When she hit, I felt like a hammer hit me in the back of the head.  SO, off to the chiropractor I went.  I had about 15 X-rays of my neck and some massage stuff done.  I have to go back tomorrow.  DS was with me, and so far he is not feeling too bad but said his back is hurting some.

The good thing is, there are a couple of cameras on that car wash, so the people handling this can see what happened in black and white (I doubt they spend the extra bucks for color video ;) ), and there was no way she could deny it being her fault, she slammed me pretty hard.  Her radiator is shot, leaked all over the parking lot.  


I got home just in time after the chiro to get chores done before it was completely dark.


I did get rid of the 4 remaining turkeys today, so that is all good and I have a little room in my freezer again.


Now, to finish reading missed posts and get to bed.  I may find that I still need to reply some sarcastic thing to one or more posts, but then off to rest my weary head and ice my neck, just maybe not in that order.



My inner insomniac adolescent has some choice language about your situation..

I hope your body feels better soon!
