Official Squatch Watchers

Good morning! Guess who got a 3am call to deliver laxative? Meeee! Seriously though not being ageist but iv'e never seen a lady over 60 not have a stockpile of laxative. I know my Mom and Grandma always had tons! Pills, liquid, stimulant, non stimulant pick your posion. Whatever though, gave me a chance to go to walmart in an "as is" state and blend in with the wal-creatures of the night.:)
You know, it would not be this bad if i had not had an accident taking care of my chickens. I have no friends or relatives here to care for my animals. Should i let them starve? Winter is coming, should i let them freeze? My husband will not be doing my chores, he had torn ligaments and cartilage in his right wrist. He is out there daily chopping wood to keep us warm.
So it's not so simple to just stop doing stuff and watch tv. I thought friends were supportive. I didn't get this surgery done just to be pretty. I am old and fat, and have no vanity left.I need to be able to see.
I feel like you guys would feel some empathy if i were a chicken. I spent my life taking care of others. Now no one cares for me. I am so sad.
Cappy, I only tease people I like firstly. And secondly nobody here doesn't care, we know youv'e got a ton to do more than most of us can imagine and you don't have help. We just don't want you getting an infection or flagging out in a bird pen. If we didn't care we wouldn't bother scolding you.;)
If y'all are strange for having her chickens in your yards, what there taters am I? We have 2 indoor chickens and an indoor pigeon. :oops:
Always dangling that beautiful dream life in my face Anansi.:)
 
Lol I forgot it's Wednesday!

I beat the trash men by about 30 seconds!!

Today is hubby's 60th birthday. How did 60 happen?
:th

I am going to get him one of those ice cream cakes.
This weekend new grips for 2 of his pistols and a shoulder holster.
That's all he asked for. :confused:

Making tater salad, cole slaw, ribs and baked beans for supper.
I hope he likes it.

Oh and Sable has a new trick. She figured out gate latches.
:eek:
 
Happy birthday Mister 21! Sounds like ya'll are eating good today he's going to like it. You got a trash man Henny? That's just fancy as all get out! :eek:

So many wonderful comments! If @CapricornFarm didn't know we loved her, I bet (sure hope!) her mind is at ease now. :hugs

Just for the record, I may not post in Squatch-land every single day, but I love all you guys and gals! My chicken friends are the BEST! :love
 
@apryl29 This made me LOL! It's so true. But please no human poop pictures.
If you were a chicken we'd have you locked in a cage in our basement, utility room, or garage and would be checking in on you constantly to make sure you're feeling better, seeing if you need anything, force feeding you and fretting over the condition of your poop and asking everyone here about their opinion of what to do. We love you and we just want the best for you. Just be careful and be safe :love.. but we're going to worry b/c it's #3 of the top 10 things we do best. (#1 is eat and #2 is procrastinate)
 
Hey! I gotta ask, is your beret boy still being nice? :)
We are still doing good I think :thumbsup He is being a tater to poor naked Amelia but otherwise is being a perfect gentleman. And Amelia has figured out that if she hides behind me, Roux will leave her alone. Cause I am boss rooster and he respects that. :yesss:

Hopefully he and Amelia will reach a truce sometime soon. Her getting to sleep with the flock last night was a step in the right direction at least.
 
Happy birthday Mister 21! Sounds like ya'll are eating good today he's going to like it. You got a trash man Henny? That's just fancy as all get out! :eek:

Lol not that fancy. Just curbside pick up day.
If you miss having it out in time you have 2 choices.
Keep it til next week or pay 25 bucks for them to swing back by.

Going to have to go to sprouts too. They honor last weeks ad and this weeks both on Wednesday.
 
I also have mine in my backyard....granted, we do have half an acre but still live in downtown. I know what you mean....when I tell people I raise chickens they always say " Oh, I thought you lived in town?" Then they look at me like I'm a nutjob having chickens in my backyard. :idunno
I don't mind the looks as much as my hens being blamed for things like the smell of the tomato silage, Flies that come from the same source and rats from the wheat fields. Luckily we are legally allowed to have them here but the visits from Animal Control are a nuisance!

Sometimes I do not like some of my neighbors. I sometimes think I am being trolled by them on BYC too!
