@Smuvers Farm I had a cough for 8 weeks a few years ago. Cracked a rib and all. Tried everything. Finally a nebulizer treatment (that made me high as tater) and an inhaler used for a few days got rid of it. No idea what got ahold of me but that finally did it.

House is going forward. I’m afraid to talk about it honestly. Every time I got excited and mentioned something house related going good it would all crash.

Under contract for a house. Thought everything was set with the bank then when my realtor reached out to move forward and the guy at the bank acted like he had no idea what my realtor was talking about. So that got switched to a mortgage company. Loans approved and going forward. Then got a random generic letter in the mail, from said mortgage company, excited to let me know I was approved for more money, a better interest rate and a break on closing costs. Of course when asked the mortgage guy said “that can’t be right” but he’ll “look into it”.

Damn right you will! And you’ll honor the letter too!

Trying to figure out homeowners insurance.

Got 2 lawnmowers. The septic will be done before closing. Plans for needed electrical updates are in the works. (Which includes running it to the coop.) I picked up yet another job to help make ends meet. I also got a small raise which is nice. Sorta sad how small when I did the math but I won’t complain.

I’m scared to death about all of it but gotta move on. Time to pull up my big girl undies and handle life.

(I’d much rather color in my blanket fort!)

I plan on making a more detailed thread when I really start the garage to coop revamp but any thoughts on using WW overlapping?

I know HW cloth is best but tater is it expensive! I can get 100’ of 48” WW with 2”x4”openings for $45 cheaper then buying HW cloth. My thought was overlap the WW to get 1”x2” openings. Is that enough or should I suck it up and spend the $$$$?

Anyone know where to get fencing cheap in bulk? LOL

Someone posted a link for a place a while back that sells hardware cloth. I remember clicking on it, but can't find it in the 2700+ pages & can't figure out how to search just this thread.

I laughed way harder then I should have.

Good morning! Iv'e got my coffee done the "Whoa Mom your hand looks sexy" dance with Early and iv'e been smacked in the head by a hummingbird....let Thursday begin!

For those of you outside of NJ who never heard of pork roll, this is what it looks like:

View attachment 1482444

It's one of those Jersey things. I think it's made of pig scrotums, tails, toenails, and brains, or something like that. I've seen a similar item called Taylor Ham in other parts of the country. But it's different in some way. I don't know how. They had Taylor Ham when I lived in MI, but no pork roll.

When you said pork roll, I was thinking of a pork egg roll.

Looks like fried bologna to me

Same.

The baby bird I attempted to rescue died. It was alive Wed night & I'd hoped that the parents were taking care of it. It was peeping it's head off. Everything I read online said to leave it and just b/c I didn't see the parents w/ it didn't mean it wasn't being taken care of. I assume they never came back for it/ opted to stay w/ other chicks that may have been in their nest. I feel bad, but I don't know that I would have been able to keep it alive & raise it to be released anyway.
Babies... Boys?

Grrr so blurry.

 

[Redhead Rae]

They are both boys.

Those pictures give me hope for my BO. Not that big of a comb here!
I need to get new pictures and see what you guys all think.

I AM thinking of the children! They've got to learn how to hustle for bulk zipties somewhere.

Friday storytime, ok iv'e already outed myself as a keeper of weird stuff with my pork roll box we won't even start on my cardboard mustaches off the back of pizza boxes but my hoards are small and manageable.

Well last night hubs comes in livid somebody complained about his "rubbish" and the county posted a notice....ooook? I'm like how much chit do you have over there hun? Ya'll 4 junk cars, a washing machine, a pile of steel taller than me, at least 20 car rims, 5 car radiators and a bright blue bathtub...omg...omg....omg!

Morning all

@rjohns39

You have pigs. Have you ever heard of pork roll? Seriously, people outside of this state have rarely ever heard of it.

You've got me drooling for a breakfast sandwich Been a long while since I was in Jersey... also miss the steak and cheese, just don't ever order a whole one.

 

[FlyingNunFarm]

Ok...no hope.
