I'm so very sorry Apryl. You did your best, chickens are complicated and being "farm animals" don't garner many vets that will do surgery that are reasonably affordable.

The fact that we get attached and want the best for them is a relatively new concept, within the last 60 years. They are still not considered a typical pet and since they are seen as food producers and eventually food, there really is no demand for vets capable of doing more advanced care.

It would be great if more vets did the more complicated treatment for chickens, as they would probably have a decent clientele. They wouldn't get swamped, but there would be enough of a demand to be worth adding it to the clinic.
 
Morning everyone.

21 hens - great you shopped alone - best that you didn't have any witnesses. I put my new "treasures," in a safe spot and never see them again. Okay so there are some 'bugs,' to work out in my system. But no one knows what I brought home or how much I paid.

I lol a tiny since I have done that too.
"Now where did I put that?"
I hid my fabric (mostly from the cat) in a drawer in my new and improved sewing table. ;)

PS Then when I bring something new out after having it quite awhile, people will say "when did you get that?". I can honestly say "that old thing?"

Ooohhhh love that! I'm going to use that. :cool:

The three top right for an "attic window" quilt.
The rest for the illusion quilt with a bit extra bought for the love of that color.

I bought a pattern that is for a fish quilt and thought what a pretty background for the fish.
Besides it was on sale AND in the remnant bin so a $13 piece cost me ~$3.50.

Also a remnant bin piece. I thought what a cute backing it would make for a baby quilt. It was just about $2 so I had to have it.
 
Good morning! Pardon my tardiness "lol".
I have to make a phone call that I was supposed to make over two months ago whoops.
Im glad I forgot though im NOT glad I remembered.
The call is a first cousin's wife I haven't seen any of my mom's family since 2016 except her last living sister that I visited.
Iv'e got to put on my steel belted big girl panties, have an adult conversation and do my best not to blurt out how bad they suck.
Probably going to happen anyway, but im not a complete savage so I gotta try at least.
It is my fault iv'e got to do this anyway, I made first contact.
I was so happy to see her because im pretty damn stupid sometimes.
That lasted maybe 2 seconds lol.
First thing she says we didn't know where you were to contact you!
I can totally see how a place that every single family member has been coming to for 60 plus years slipping her mind.
It happens often for them too, seem to remember the amnesia struck when mom could have used their support.
Had another round when I could have used a teeny bit not for mom but with her.
I was over it but she just had to chunk that whole didn't know where you were turd in the ole punch bowl. Freakin guilty conscious was driving her mouth apparently.
So yep, I forgot all about this.
I'm going to call her though if for no other reason to not be on the same level of jackassery.:caf
