I would contact Ebay again till you get a hold of someone. I have had wrong stuff shipped and ebay was great about getting it resolved.

I did and they sent me a return label. BUT I have to have my DIL return the package from FL so I've forwarded the email to her. I've not heard from her yet. I've got seven days to send it back.

They've not heard from the seller either. I think the seller took a hike.

I don't use mine for shopping online, I just like the ease of paying someone rather than to ask for their trust to send them a check, or going out of your way to get a money order. The less work I have to do the better. Plus if I'm paying a person up front on something I want (like the two rabbits I purchased a couple of weekends ago) that's just more reason to give them that I am serious about getting them. Rather than getting stuck with someone from CL who may not even show up to meet you.

I do like the ease of Paypal. But I am learning the ins and outs. Free shipping is not free and all that stuff. I have done business with some nice people too. I like when a seller contacts you cuz you know their there. Plus I do go back to them if they have something I want.

Man I need another incubator. Come taxes it's a sportsman. I posted on craigs list that I was selling chicks jan 13th and I've got people still calling for chicks. I have to make a folder or something here soon to keep all the numbers and texts straight. On top of that I see people in search of chicks on craigs list. One more good hatch after this one I'm doing now and I think the gen 1588 will have paid for it's self or close to it.

I didn't know all that about e-bay may have to look closer when I buy stuff which aint often though. I mainly use amazon when buying online.

Well I went to sleep in son's room we are sharing his electric blanket we just bought. I couldn't fall asleep so I desided to plastic his window which I've been meaning to do but forgetting. So as I am doing the bottom of window my feet are freezing. I figured its leaking out bottom of window but when I finish it it's still there. So today I take a few pics under my baseboard heating units.
Here's what I find and get to fix this summer.

3/8th's staples for size example. I don't know whats behind the wood paneling if it's old baseboard and they put this over old wall or what.


This is one of those lovely hidden holes in my house where air loves to come into it.


Think this will be first room I redo going to rip out the baseboard heating and redo that along with walls and celling.

Afternoon all. Getting a good oldfashioned winter storm here. Snowing hard, blowing pretty good. Around 8 inches so far and still coming.

Rancher--make sure your dil sends out those books right away. I have had good luck getting things resolved.

Jlaw---sounds like things are kinda turning around. Keep it up.

Sitting here planning out my hatches. Decisions to be made and timing. Who to keep and who goes. I hate this part of chicken keeping!

Yeah they seem to be turning around alittle. Still hate this house and think it's a money pit but will take the loss for now till I can sell it. Still sober also. Really only felt like drinking one or two nights so far and one was because I got of work early and was bored when walking through walmart but we went looking at other stuff so got distracted.

Going to order a pellet stove tomorrow if I cant find one around here that I want to buy I have to try to find a pellet stove shop because when I checked homedepot and tsc they didn't have any when looked but going to check hamberg out also.

Well now remember the house comes first and it's not a pit if you like it. It won't hurt to have a contractor come in and see what needs to be done and set your priorities from there. Houses always need something. Right now I'm fixin to put a jack under the crawl space. There is no such thing as a maintenance free house.

Remember "what the eye does not see, the heart does not want". I stay away from the mall most of the time. DW is good at talking me into buying things I don't need and can't afford.

I hear good things about pellet stoves, but didn't want one because I can't lift those bags of pellets. Plus I'm too old for the maintenance. You got kids to help mine a grown and gone.

I don't keep booze in the house. That way I'm not tempted.

Take care and I wish you well,

Rancher.

Afternoon Everyone!
Snow is starting to come down here. I'm wondering my daughter will have dance tonight. Hope not, I travel a lot of hills to get there! I'm sure they'll call it off.

Placed our order for ducklings this morning! Soooo excited!! Feb 26th is delivery day.

Do you guys like my purchase from Homegoods?? I couldn't resist...

My mom and MIL are here from CT, they watched the kids for us so we could go to Buffalo. They just laugh when I come with this stuff. They can't get over what a "country girl" I'm turning into with all my chickens and ducks and rabbits.

Hope everyone who is getting hit with snow has gone out and gotten their bread! You won't survive the storm without it! Please keep us updated and let us know you've survived when the storm is over ;-)
