Awesome! Well done Laree!
Money worries are among the worst, I think. I'm glad you found something, Melty, and Debi I will pray for Ken to find a job.

Beaner, Batty and I spent the day being unmoderated. I'd share anecdotes but, well, the naive probably couldn't handle it.
We're doing it again in Indiana in October. I think we should have an OW convention...
Pictures will have to be posted later.

Random pix.
I think someone put this pigeon together wrong.
Modern game bantam
One of the million silkies
Me holding one of my bunnies.
Mini horse showing going on in the other barns

Mr Mottled.
Judging the cochins.
And for kicks, i came home to a six chick hatched under the mottled cochin broody and a seventh pipped.
Barred cochin with the first 5 chicks.

My DH has agreed to let the OW peeps settle this argument......shhh's I'm new here and he doesn't know any better yet, leave it that way ok?
So, I catered a party for the step daughter's graduation from law school yesterday and had to spend the whole day with th ex wife's family so I could be overly sensitive here, but .... I've been giving both step daughters and their boyfriends eggs for several months now. I took 2 1/5 doz (every single egg I had) with me for SD26 since she told me in a text her & her boy friend eat 54 eggs a week!!! At the party I hear the four of them talking how they make a 5 egg omelet every morning with one egg and 4 egg whites....they throw the other 4 yolks away! I'm extremely PO'd by this and told them they don't get any more free eggs. Their mother thinks I'm over reacting and should just get over it. Says I have no reason to be upset, once I give them something I have no control over how it's used. Yep she's right (mark the calendar I agree with the witch) and that's why they won't be gettin' any more. (also why I don't give them money either). So should they get free eggs or not?

I'd probably still give them eggs, but much less than they want, like 1/2 dozen a week and only if I had a lot to spare. I certainly wouldn't clean out my fridge and give them everything I had, leaving nothing for myself only to find out they're throwing away half of what you give them. To be mildly vindictive, lets say you have a few eggs that had really dirty, poopy shells...you washed them off, but you know those shells were really icky at one point and maybe you'd rather not eat them. I'd make sure they get those eggs. Or maybe eggs from the hen whose prone to laying eggs with blood spots.
My brother (fitness nut and military guy) used to eat egg-white only breakfasts and I would lecture him about throwing away the best part of the egg. I have a degree in Animal Science and I tried explaining to him how it's the most complete protein and ounce for ounce more protein than meat, etc, etc. I also used to tell him whole milk was better for him than skim and butter was better than margerine, but he thought he knew better than me. When he was visiting my house, he wasn't allowed to throw away yolks and I didn't buy margerine or skim milk, so he didn't get those either, but he was on his own at his own house.
Years later he went back to school and was taking some class, I'm not even sure what it was, but the instructor went on and on about whole foods and how much better they are than processed foods, etc, etc. Big Brother had the decency to call me and tell me I was right.
He even piped up in the class that his sister had been telling him that for years!
