I'm 39. Old enough. The problem is not getting the joints fixed soon, the other side took to throwing tantrums. I only fixed my knee when getting a 2 mth old Matt out of the car, I snapped the quad tendon. Don't remember exactly what took out A/MCL.

Is this what I have to look forward to when I add soaps to our website??

Not necessarily, I have a niche in wedding favors. So I get large 100-250 bar orders. But they tend to come in clumps. Last May was a 1500. clump, this month looks to be similar, summer was slow 300-500 each month.

Fancy the doe is not spectacular at this motherhood business. She is missing an important aspect...oh, um..maybe called feeding the little monsters? I'm about ready to take the boogers away and feed em myself! Stupid rabbit. I do think I will lose the one who fell out of the nest recently.....not sure on the others. If she doesnt start feeding them soon, yes I will lose them all.

First, i got the most

thought about nursing a rabbit. Is this her first litter? have you considered rolling her over and putting the kits on the breast?

Phew. Glad today is over.

Managed to get the scan done for DD#2. Took an extra 2 hours or so and three professionals to relocate her tiny catheter three times (she struggled so she bent the first one or two even with arm boards. Poor thing. Went back for the History appointment in the PM and back tomorrow AM for review of scans.

Pretty tired. Me, not herself. DD's as energetic as ever.

Thought I'd treat us to Sushi across from the hotel, it looked nice (and smelled good) but DD freaked for a while and I ended up driving to the grocery store instead. I'd have liked a spicy tuna roll and some saki.

It's nice and cool here, barely 80 degrees and sunny. Really really pretty. Wish my sister was home, wish I had a babysitter, wish we were at Disneyland instead. Wish I were in Hawaii instead, no make that Fiji. Or that place that's just a little open house with gauze walls at the end of a spit of sand with 2 palm trees, a hammock and a bucket of iced coronas.

Called a friend to check on the chookies. They are still alive. The speckled sussex got out of the pen and were without food and water so it's a good thing Ann went over for me. They were scrounging crumbs from an empty feed bag so she snuck up and just picked up the bag with them in it! I'd have paid money to see that. She said they screamed bloody murder. They are usually impossible to catch. The one little piece of tarp I used blew right off.

Algae, 6 pounds is quite respectable! Good job! Hang in there, every day helps.

All you guys watching weird schtuff on TV, knock it off. I mean eeewwwww.

All you guys backing and eating fantastic cuisine,

I read everything, but I cannot absorb anymore...Oh Boo, sorry about DH's leg, that's just so bad.

Beaner remove them. Let her alone. Take the kits to her once a day, and squeeze the teats a bit so she realizes that it is relief. Most does are very ambivilent about their young.

Tried that. she is uncooperative. She is too tense to get the milk flowing......They all seem small and skinny to me but one in particular moreso. I will recheck in the morning. I know I should probably just leave them alone, but dang it....its against my nature! I should start weighing them to see if they are gaining. I think it may just be the one not thriving.

Last litter from Faith had the super duper FAT baby...maybe I am just picturing that and misjudging these.

The one you find thin will probably not thrive. Some does just don't care. If you remove them and then stimulate her teats later to feed them, she should squeal and thump a bit then calm down - that is when you put the kits in there to feed.
