That is hilarious! They seem to really dig it too. I would have never thought in a million years that would be a thing, I do wonder how long it takes for them to understand it isn't a monster and actually play it.:caf

I'm guessing she has a childrens xylophone out in the coop or run. Chickens will peck it for entertainment.

Count me in to this soul sister thing because when MY DH pukes he’s so dramatic and loud I have to run outside and shut the door to stop hearing him.

WTH??! Why do men have to puke so loud and earthshaking??!! I don't get it.

It's SO scary! Especially to an emetophobe like me. If I ever had to puke (hopefully, I never will have to again in this lifetime, cuz I will be crying like a baby if I do) I would do it as quietly and nonchalantly as possible, so as not to frighten anyone.

Can you imagine what it would sound like if men had babies! The noises, oh man, it would be terrifying (I'm sorry guys, you know I love you all, but it's true, lol)!

Puke. Ehh. It's the worst!

Day-um. Is she part cornishx? One of my amberlinks is hefty and the other barely weighs anything. Slightly worried that the lighter one may be getting sick b/c Jaiden lost weight when she got sick, but it's possible that the thinner one is just watching her weight.


They didn't numb up my kid, BUT if it's larger it would make sense that they do. With her thing they just kept telling her to swallow, it's the thing rubbing against the back of her throat that made her gag. I grabbed the trash can and put it by her, but we didn't need it. Also, they had trouble getting it in one side and switched to the other. The put this KY jelly like stuff on it to help it slide down too. I intentionally didn't ask b/c I knew basically what was going to happen and if my daughter knew the details I knew she wasn't going to let them do it. Are you sure they're going up the nose? I googled it and some of the photos show them going through the mouth. It seems like they *should* be able to do something similar to and upper endoscope and knock you out to get the same info... I'm sure they don't *want* to do that b/c it costs more, but I feel like that should be an option, esp if it'd really freak out out.


I was hoping the reason she's been MIA wasn't b/c of her husband's health. Hopefully they're doing well otherwise and may be able to do some stuff before he gets too bad off. I guy I went to school w/ found out he had colon cancer and after trying tons of treatments they just decided to go do a bunch of stuff while they could (they have young kids). You know, make memories.


Quiet Sam, it's too soon, you don't want to scare her off. - We're all totally normal people.


Wow, what a voluptuous comb! Does it cause him problems?


ACV... I've got this obnoxious rash, I'm certain I'm allergic to something... I'm almost desperate enough to try ACF on it.. in the mean time, I just keep scratching at it. Who needs skin?


Anything that moves too fast for having too many or too few legs should not exist.


I had a friend w the same fear, she also went to school to be a nurse. Not sure if it helped her deal with it as we're not friends anymore. I think her biggest problem was her puking, not someone else, but I'm not sure. She also didn't like the 'v' word. I don't *like* doing it, but it doesn't bother me.. And w/ my kids I just gag along and move on, esp w/ my tiny human's issues. Driving down the road as she projectile puked bile into a bowl. Good times.


Um... we have one too it's a 'basement spider'. Several of them actually. We had one named Gerald. Once I saw one corner bathroom spider taking a stroll to visit the other corner bathroom spider, then soon after there was an egg sack, then a bunch of babies in my shower. I moved them out to the hallway. Those ones can live, the big fat black ones are not allowed to live (in the house, or at my work). In the coop I usually let them live, unless they interfere w/ me. I had one that actually climbed down the wall and came at me while I was scooping poop. Then another one came down, kinda to keep an eye on me... after that I wondered if they do something to tell other spiders "hey something's killing me, attack!". This weekend I opened the coop and a big one was inside the door. I killed that one good. It made me nervous walking past it, and then another one showed up on the ceiling (away from me). I think they do alert others.



All of them. She's a segregationist, which makes sense if you're one of those people who sell pure-breeds.


Mine stretch their necks out and run/ fly at full speed. Reminds me of someone trying to win a race and stretching out to beat the other guy.


See what happens? You spoke of it and then it happened. Quick, talk about finding a bag full of $$!


Gasp! My brother had a red tail boa that my dad's cat would sit on top of the cage. The cat's fat butt broke the lid and the snake got out. I'm not a fan of snakes. So we're all looking all around the house trying to find the snake and I'm looking in the closet, pulling out things one by one. At the bottom of the closet there was a pillow case. I picked it up and screamed like a little girl b/c I thought the snake was in it. It wasn't, something was on the bottom edge of it and weighed it down. We found the snake in the wall. It escaped a few times after that. It's name was Dog and my brother would take it outside and walk the dog. It hated me. The feeling was mutual.

Thanks for all the info Apryl!!! I figured your poor kid went through just about every diagnostic test known to man having to do with the gut, so you would know...I think I remember you saying she had an NG tube after the surgery, which is pretty standard. But that is the one thing I could not do as a nurse, because of my puke phobia, every time I tried to do one I would about pass out (I didn't do hospital nursing that much, so it never was a huge issue).

I almost passed out too trying to assist with an endoscopy once, because the lady was gagging all around the tube. I had to quietly excuse myself from the room, sit in the hallway, and put my head down until my vision came back! Embarassing as all taters...

An NG tube is pretty much the same principle as that nasoesophageal scope...through the nose into the back of the throat and into the esophagus and/or stomach.

I've been reading up on it and I'm hoping he doesn't opt to do it because one of my nasal passages is almost completely collapsed and it seems if you have obstructed breathing they don't do it. I think I'm just gonna tell him I can't do it due to bad anxiety and if they really need to scope me I will have to come back and do it under sedation/twilight anesthesia!!

Nurses are the worst patients, lol!!

I typed this up an hour ago but forgot to hit post! So sorry for the suspense!

Ok i finished catching up and heard someone out there playing the xylophone, so I went to look....
everybody’s still alive and looking perky.
Little bit of bloody poop in the coop, but not like yesterday, so I’m hoping I caught it! Since I couldn’t figure out who it was coming from, I dosed everybody 1/10 of a cc to the beak and treated their water after scrubbing it first very well. I’ll change it again in a little while.
I’d say I’m “cautiously optimistic”

Yay!!!! That's freakin awesome. :celebrate I think I kept my chooks on Corid for a total of ten days, and never saw any more weird poo after that....
