Office Work, Part Deux: Professional Mayhen

[saddina]

Have you treid "i'd love to mom, but grandpa bought those, i'm just taking care of them, so we better check with his first".

He's most liekly thrilled that you're into fowl when most kids your age can't tell a duck from a goose. Grandparents are funny,the sometimes forget there's other parents involed, he may be thinking "it's fine to get ducky more chickens, that's engouraging him in his passions, i'm sure his parents won't mind". My guess is he knows he's getting old, and would like to keep a farmer in the family.

Nothing works on mom!! she wont budige!! Well my dad is fine with the numbere i have right now it's my mom

You would not think he is 80! The only time he sits for more then 5 min is to a) eat b) it's to hot to work.

I know he loves me i just don't need these hens

ohhh well. Mom was like ":O" when i told her i was selling the laying flock ( the one thing she wants to keep

) so i well keep these 8 for now....


My nannie tells him every year to "NOT plant that garden" every we do.

Tell you a secret... I annoy my kids too.

And you know you have to. Baby chick may look bright-eyed and chirpy, but a quick neck snap would save days of slow suffering and eventual death. Even if it lived for WEEKS, a chicken that can't run is doomed to wallow in waste. At this point, wrapping it in papr towel and putting it in a baggie and putting that into the freezer would be a quicker death than what dear old Mother Nature has in store for it....

Don't ask Beaner to help you be tough. We Here at Me had to put down her pitiful crippled hen...

DH used to do the deed, and still does at times. But I decided if I was going to take breeding seriously then I had to be willing to be tough and do what needed to be done. So I do. It isn't easy and it never should be.

1) You'll get to see DBF and get hugs, introduce him to the bunnies.
2) Don't tell that particular coworker to DIAF any more.
3) At least he didn't eat the bunnies.

When does DBF arrive?
DH gets home Thurs around 5:30 or so. Trying to decide when would be best for returning the borrowed bunnie....

Well...I ate me some taco bell while catching up...nice to read up on some good ol fashion chicken culling.

I met with 2 of my lawyers today...one for divorce and one for disability. And while I enjoy a rousing time of fighting my x and the government...when the windows don't roll down and the air don't work in the trusty ol town n country (sounds tough, don't it?) it makes that and all the other errands become an entregueing game of who's bathroom's gonna entertain gretchy for 20 minutes.

So in protest I got some tacos and lemonade to make up for all that I've lost today.

You can't...your daughter needs bunny love.

I spent two weeks listening to the various merits of tractors and thier attachments, daily (mrs boyd was sick of it, and suggested he call me). As long as boyd and I stay back on politics, we gel wonderfully.

Maybe I should give Boyd my DH's number. He could talk tractors and implements indefinitely....as long as they are John Deeres.
