Trent got shown in MO?? Wow.

I hope you get your stuff back. My (some relation--Uncle? Cousin? ??), Ben, lives there, but he never comes to Reno or I'd ask him to get it.
Laura, sure youre not to be tempted? What's one more, right? Poor guy..homeless..alone..cold...hungry. Well, not hungry, We're feeding him. And keeping him warm.
Sheryl, enjoy it while you can, we've got storms a-comin' cher.
Is it just me or is BYC taking forever to load? Then agian, it's probably just me, I do own a dell.

Is that my problem? I'm on an ancient Dell. We bought it refurbished and it was super cheap but you get what you pay for.

Glad Trent is back!!! Hope you get your stuff back too.

We went to the dance tonight. First time since I sang for Steve's b-day! Everyone was hitting me up to sing again, the band wants me to get more songs for them to do for me, couple of folks want a CD (the last time I was in a recording studio cassette tapes were still in vogue). *sigh* Steve even seems to be onboard for my heading back into it. Aren't I a little old to be getting back into singing gigs?

Don't you enjoy it Sunny? Why not do it if you want to, right? You're never too old for anything. lol cassettes. I dunno, I've always been of the mindset that if you want to do somthing, go ahead (legally). No holding back. I say "Gettem, killer."

I'm not too computer savvy, but my geek friends have all told me Dells do indeed suck. Apple makes the best laptops, along with a couple other brands that are good. The only problem is you do, in fact, pay for your quality. As in like $1500+ new. Ouch.

Hey guys. I was wondering if any of you knew anything about showing chickens?
I was thinking about taking Mama to the show because she is so beautiful, but I dont know if she is show worthy or if people like me can just bring chickens. I think it would be fun but i know she doesnt like being handled and i actually dont know anything about barnevelders.... A friend on FB from byc is coming to the reno show and was like "why arent you showing anything?"

i dont know, are any of you showing? tyler?

heres mama.

where the heck is everyone today??

I dunno if she SQ, but I know you can show her. The first chicken I showed was a RIR from cackle hatchery, and she got a blue ribbon, so even hatchery birds can be shown. I don't know where you got her from, but as long as she's a purebred bird she can be entered into her class (American, right?) There's a fee, but its not much. Then you'll just put her in a cage and feed and water her every day, and the judge judges. Somtimes they take the bird out, somtimes they dont. I had a hyperactive sicilian buttercup shown one year. Near disaster every time her cage was opened. That's about all I know of showing. Last time I did it was in like 2007 and I was..shoot, like 14 or somthing. Its easy. But some of the people might be derogitory about her if she looks like a 'dirty barnyard bird' or whatever. I had this lady get mad at me for showing my red cochin, Mrs. Bantam, and getting a prize over her birds (Which she bathed and put like baby oil on, and brushed thier feet clean with a toothbrush). She seriously talked down to me and got all kinds of butt hurt, and my lovely mother came around the corner to see this and me nearly in tears. What a scene she caused. I love that woman. But anyway, some people take it wayy too serious and might be offended. Tell them to go do somthing unmentionable on byc in an 'off' direction. By the way. Sunny, I loved Harry potter when I was little. After the problem with Mrs. Bantam, we always lovingly called her a dirty little mudblood, because thats how the lady was acting with her 'dirty barnyard bird' issues.
I'm not showing this year. You have to have everything in by the 7th, and I'm really busy right now. Well, that and I had no idea what the little pamplet was trying to say about it.

In my defence, all I did was skim it, then decided I'd save it and get to it later. Later is just looking like it'll be next year. Hopefully. Tyler put a link to the info up a couple pages back I think. It's a pdf file, about 10 pages.

Thanks lacey. I guess ill try to find the info and e-mail julie or something. Ill have to try to find one of those wire crates to borrow.

Yea, I'm torn. Part of me loves it, the music part, and part of me doesn't. It can really suck up a lot of time and energy and I'm afraid I've never had the tunnel vision some folks have (BTW tunnel vision is a good thing when you are performing for a living) when it comes to music. My brother toured all over the country with his band and never complained. He loved it! I think I would love a now and then gig.

Not sure it ever works that way though. Once in a while is fun, really fun. All the time gets to be a drag.

Oh and yea, Apples, too much moolah para mi ahora.
