Thanks for making me laugh!
When I run in the grocery store I usually just stick my debit card in my bra.
One day I got to the self check out.... and you might saying I WAS INDEED CHECKING MYSELF OUT, because when I went to retrieve it I had an egg I’d forgotten about between my boobies and 4 dog cookies!
(Plus my debit card)

:hugs:hugs:hugs:love:love:love too everyone who had needed it that last few days, congrats on all the cool things and babies, and awesome job on all the gardens, coop improvements and new critter cages and brooder. Yay for all the sales and new bird purchases, and cool for moIpet's article.

I know I've been quiet, but there's always coffee, hot water and munchies for y'all when you get up. There's even the occasional snuggle fluff butt, and always treats for them. There may even be some free ranging parakeets, just don't freak out when they buzz your head on their laps around the living room and kitchen, they just like the thrill of living dangerously, they don't land on you or anything.

I'm still trying to get up the desire to pick up the laptop and job hunt and look at getting in to nursing school. I need to do it, I'm just not wanting to. I'm tired of spending forever trying to get s job, just to have it not be the right fit for me. It's downright discouraging and depressing, therefore I'm not enthusiastic about it. I already know I'm slower than a lot of people doing the same work, and that is not helpful, especially with the kind of paycheck I need coming from the larger organizational medical facilities. So let's just say I'm to discourage and afraid of failing and not being able to find a job even if I do get my RN. It will be the 4th time going through school, 3rd for a career, and I'll still more after that to get the bachelor's that is the desired degree. The good thing is that I would be able to specialize more, which is really what I want to do. I'd like to get in to endocrinology, specifically, diabetes care and management. Fear of failing again is a powerful thing, though. The only thing I haven't failed at, career - wise is the military, and I left that in '95. Otherwise, being a parent had been my only other success. I'm not even good at housekeeping, my placer is a total mess, and I've totally given up on trying with it, much to the disappointment of my parents and husband. At least my husband had figured out that it won't change, and trying to get it to is mute. My parents, not so much, so my mom comes twice a etter to help out and lecture me. Initiate more feelings of failure/ inadequacy. The only ones who see me as successful in anything are the kids and their friends, who end up being my extra "kids." I guess I should feel good about that, especially when DD#4 tells others she associates with that she'll pass one the drugs cuz her mom hasn't given her a reason to want to do them, but it doesn't outweigh the ready of my life that isn't going how I imagined it would.

Anyhow, enough depressing stuff, we now have 10 baby tree frogs, two tad poles that just need to absorb their trailed, one that needs to get its front legs, one that needs all 4, and a salamander that needs to get to the the point of not being fully aquatic. So far, that has been a cool adventure and nature, considering all were wild caught, along with the 3 larger ones. DD#3 loves frogs, so I told her she had to catch het own tree frogs, that way we don't need a special set up, only a replica of our current flora, fauna and climate, which is really nice. They are happy, healthy and free of predators. They are the top of the food chain, which means hakuna matatta. All of the other animals are doing good, and Kiwi, our new parakeet, is finally not freaking out when I try to pet her and get her to go on my finger. Took long enough, but yay, it's about time, especially since Blue had been showing her since day one that I'm not a threat.

That's the update on my drab existence, now back to all the interesting stuff.

Reading all tbe post after this too:(I know everyone doesn't hear much of me on here but...) my heart is with you. Depression is no joke. After haveing the 2 little ones back to back my brain took hold and it was hard to get out. Just lean on those that you think are annoying (mom and hubby) my husband was my rock and made me completely and totally mad and completely and totally happy. They dont understand unless thay have been there. Its hard for us and hard for them. But we have ti turn to our hearts, not pur brains. Have faith in yourself and know that you can.....and will make it through what you need to in life, always. You will always have someone somewhere to talk to and help you up. I know it's hard to hear someone tell you somthing you feel you hear alot but we are here you. And for anyone who may need us.
For your career you seek... listen to what your gut tells you. Do what WILL make you happy at the end of the day. Dont worry about the money or what peopl may think. Follow what your heart may seek.


Ok so I have. Bantam hen that just started laying the past month or so.... he is having issues all of a sudden. I had to pull an soft, already broke egg out of her the other night and last night she passed one her self.. there is shells in their food... should I put her in a separate pin (away from roos) and give her shell by her self until problem is solved??? ​

Yes within the past 2 months. I can tell she is uncomfortable during the day she trys to lay in the morning and nothing comes so she leaves the box and trys all day. Isnf usually until roost time she gets it out.
I have a bay I can put her in until she is better, I have 9 roos and I dont want them to make things worse. ​

That is a lot of roos. I had one laying soft eggs for about two weeks and then it finally normalized. How many hens do you have?
