EWWWWWW!!!!! SICK!!!!!!:sick

(To rephrase Alanis Morisette....

Cuz I got one chick in my pocket
And the other one's giving a high five! lol)

(No I am not bringing a chick)
 
Yes! When I get them back in the coop tonight I will. Or if you dm me your phone # I’ll video it on my phone and send it to you.
I’ve finally mastered the foot wrap.
But not YouTube .....:gig:gig
Thanks! I sent it. I love when you read posts and they're really vague. Soak then wrap.. um, how? How does it not come off? So many questions. When Odin's tail was bleeding the guy said to put compression bandage stuff on it. What? Have these people not seen chickens? It's like putting a collar on a pug, you know it isn't going to stay there. There should be educational videos for stuff like that.

Jeeze I mess with youtube nearly every day and I still don't get it. Does not help one bit they just change stuff on me either...i'm too old for that!:)
Changing stuff is how desk jockeys justify their pay check. I considered upgrading all of our public computers to Windows 10 just to have something to do for the last year... Instead I've been doing genealogy. Not that I don't have anything to do, just not enough to do every single day b/c my boss won't do her job and order me stuff. It took her 9 months to order a computer a manager requested to fulfill a grant. 6 months to order a server that the director requested for our new telephone notification system that was part of our transition (she finally got it 2 months after their deadline and I had a week to get it running).

SON OF A TATER! Presidential alert test made me poop a little!:oops:
:lau

Smart man! I did not hear about it and have my volumes on maximum. My alerts are off as well but my phone won't allow me to disable that one.
I was driving down the road with the radio on and I swear it didn't make a peep, but the alert was on my screen. The radio was going crazy when I changed the station, only reason I knew about it. Not all phones are the same, BUT.. there was one lady on twitter who said her phone actually let her opt out. Not sure what kind of phone it was, but I was jealous. Can you imagine the schools?! My daughter's phone didn't go off, but they don't get cell service there. I also have a friend who's down in Gatelenburg and she said she didn't get an alert b/c she doesn't have cell service down there. So I guess that's one caveat to the whole thing.

No one can disable the presidential alerts. I don't understand why either. If the presidents in trouble what am I going to do about it?
"He's been kidnapped." Yeah, I'll get right on that.
I realize it's for a national emergency but I'm sure between news, radio, FB and friends and family I'd hear about it soon enough.
The part I don't get is we already have extreme alerts and severe alerts... Wouldn't anything that would be a prez alert be categorized under either of those. I get that it's supposed to be 'directly from the prez & they're the only one who can send them' but it seems pretty redundant to go off on ALL phones.

When 9-11 happened internet was overloaded and went down. Lots of people get the news over the internet. These alerts can't be disabled on a cell phone and have priority if the cell tower is overloaded like at 9-11. Could be a good thing, unless I am sleeping LOL
ETA the landline was down at work on 9-11 too
The other night at like 2 am an amber alert when off and my phone starts blaring and vibrating and I'm just staring at it like I know it's a phone, but it's yelling and I couldn't process info enough to make it stop. And I hear the same situation going on in the other room for my daughter's phone. After that I had her turn off the amber alerts on her phone. It's a great idea, but I'm in bed.. I'm not going to be finding someone's kids, unless they drive through my bedroom.

This is one of those things I want to help with but I really like having ten fingers. It is a feather obviously not hers.:gigView attachment 1550444 View attachment 1550445
:lau:lau And when you try to grab it, acting all nonchalant they freak out and run away and you scream at them "I'm trying to help you! You have something on your BUTTTTT!" then people stare at you b/c you tried to accost a chicken.

You guys!!!!!!

I NAILED the interview!!!! It went so excellent I couldn't believe it!

And when I got home, a couple hours later, they called me back and said it was unanimous that they all wanted me, the principal left a VM saying make an appointment with the school superintendent, and I have it for tomorrow!!!!!!!! Second interview!

:wee :celebrate :wee :highfive: :bun:bun:bun

I have been looking for a new job for, like, a year now. And I left my old one 7 months ago and have been subbing sporadically ever since. This is great news!!! After all the bad stuff that's happened in the past year, I'm really ready for some good news.

I NEED to work. I will get this job. It just felt right. :yesss:

ETA: They said, when I was there, that I would hear back from them by Friday. And on the VM the principal left me, she said that they all went out for lunch, that I was the topic of conversation, and it was unanimous!!! They didn't even wait till Friday, and it doesn't seem like any of the other interviewees were in the running!! Too cool, about time, YAY!!!!!!

Love you guys!! And thanks for the good vibes and wishes (and texts)!! :wee
CONGRATS!!!!! I bet it was the lucky extra toed chick that did it.

So.... I found out why my house skirting is free floating...... The house is on quarry block piers. They had nothing to attach the skirting to. I'm considering doing a cinder block wall now instead of skirting.

Those are some big honking blocks on the oldest section of house.
View attachment 1550903

Get this though, the newer, back section of my house... rests on uncemented cinder blocks!!!!

Seriously!
:eek: I'm trying to figure out how they built the house on blocks. That photo makes me uncomfortable. Are you going to be able to take care of it yourself or will you need me to hire someone to do it? I mean, I guess it's been working fine this whole time, but it's really shocking. Did you find anything under the house?

I am TOTALLY THRILLED for your PBB (Pitbullbyotch! lol) I know you are terribly deserving of the good karma coming your way.

JUST POPPING IN with a couple updates.

1. I'm still alive and kicking. Preparing for a trip to FL, leaving on the 6th EARLY. I will be doing all the driving as it is just my mom and me on this trip. Leaving Saturday, staying at a Motel 6 about 2/3rd of the way there, and then pull in to her house on Sunday around noon. Then she has a DRs appointment on Monday. Then another DRs appointment on Tuesday. Then she wants me to run her over to her friends houses to see them cause she doesn't want to inconvenience THEM while we are in town. (Lets not forget that during this time, she is supposed to be packing up her taters to bring up here to LIVE.... which means I'm gonna have to turn into Saggy Naggy to get her to get taters done.... OR have to do it myself. Man, I can't. The fibro, the new Prozac doseage, the foot*(info coming up), I literally cannot physically do it all by myself. Debating on trying to hire a day laborer through Craigslist but I know my mom will slip up and mention the house(ES, 2 of them), will be empty ll wnter and... I mean really, you can only trust a stranger so far. And no, no friends and no family excpet me.

2. The PIC and DH will be staying here to take care of the 4 mutts, 3 cats and chickunz. I have literally GAGGED at the sight of all the crapola they have bought to *junk food out* while I'm gone. I absolutely feel safe in believing that I will come home, walk through the front door, and find them in their white boxer briefs (now stained to hell and back with gawd knows what), plates of chips, dip, pizza rolls, cheesy pretzel bites, bowls of ramen, chicken nuggets, waffle fries, ice cream OUT THE BAZOOKA, ravioli, cookie crisp cereal.... sorry.... gotta stop.....:sick:sick:sick

3. My DR. upped my Prozac to 40 mgs starting on the 26th of Sept. As it did before, it makes me sleepy but I'll work through it. I kinda already feel happier though.

4. SAW THE FOOT DR TODAY @TexasSam. Xray and an ultrasound showed 2 things. I have a small calcium build up bone spur, but that's not what's contributing to the pain. Apparently, the fluid in your plantar fascia is normally in the 3mm-4mm range. Mine measured out at 9.4mm. SO, I received a cortisone shot (THE ONLY THING MORE PAINFUL I HAVE EVER FELT WAS AN EPIDURAL), and he wiggles the needle IN MY FOOT, like he's stirring a pot. :barnie:hit:barnie:hit The nurse kept saying *breath.breath* and I told her *I AM BREATHING! I'M JUST CONCENTRATING ON NOT MOVING AND NOT KICKING HIM IN THE FACE!!!*

So, I'm off my foot for 2 days, and yet I still have to pack the car for our trip. STDH is taking Fizzgig to have 2 tires replaced and a rotation done tomorrow at noon. Guess I'll get the small amount of clothing packed up. Taking a BUNCH of shelf stable food, cause my mom has a habit of all of a sudden *NEEDING* something to eat, and not snack stuff.... gotta go through an Arbys or Burger joint or something..... but I got her beat this time.

Hugs, kisses and ALL MY LOVE to you all. Miss you all like brazil nuts!
~Smuvvy
Feel better & be safe on your trip. Let us know when you get home. [said in a dad voice]
Does she have a rolly chair you can scoot around on to stay off your foot? Then hire someone to load the truck for you [or POD or whatever you're using to transport everything] so at least you won't have to do that. The only other thing I can think of is if any of the neighbors have teenagers, if they'd give you a hand for some cash.

Miss you Smuv! I am having eyelid surgery and a brow lift, and my insurance is paying for it! I had to pay $170 for an eye test, but totally worth it. My brow is so far down you can't see my eyelids.
I want to get all the birds set up with 2 day feeders, because every day for all these is nuts.
Wooooo! You're going to be super sexy after this.
Did that jerkface ever fix your tub yet?

I have a million of those larvae in the quail poo under the cages. I put scoops of them in a colander and wash out the manure. Then feed the larvae to the birds. They love it, and the larvae have lots of calcium in them too.
I toss the poo I scoop into a pile by the woods and my chickens like to go dig around in their poop and eat maggots. They're special. I tried to keep them out of it, but I gave up. They dig through their own poo like it's a buffet.. it smells so bad. :sick:barnie
