Thanks Teach, you made my day!

And thank you ... everyone for the advice given. I so very much appreciate it all.

Hydrogen Peroxide ... lay on your side, pour in enough to fill up the ear, have a towel for all the bubbling, and leave the peroxide in until the bubbling stops, then drain the peroxide out. Repeat several times if necessary until the ear is unclogged. That's what my kids' pediatrician recommended when they kept having ear infections many many many years ago.

And then there's the ear wax removal stuff at the store. It's a stronger version of hydrogen peroxide and oil that you add to the ear ... works faster and they give you a syringe type thingy to flush warm water in the ear after soaking in the peroxide.

Gerald failed his hearing test at work, so we cleaned his ears out with peroxide ... and he retook and passed the hearing test afterward.

Been going into work at 5am all this week and next week. I guess I forgot to turn the alarm off. It goes off at 4am, hit snooze, goes off again hit snooze:/ Wake up at 4:30 thinking im fixing to be late for work. Problem is, its my day off and im up at 4:30 in the morning anyway with a wife who see's no humor in being woke up.

I wondered why you were posting at 4:37 this morning when you are normally at work then. My hat is off to all of you who have to get up in the middle of the night to go to work or who don't get off work until the middle of the night so you can go home and go to bed.

Good morning all. What a beautiful day it looks like it is going to be.

Stray hun, I doubt they sent chicks out over a holiday weekend. If they did I would NEVER buy from them again.

My dad was same way he only got one holiday off a year if that. He was a grocery store manager and when the alarm was set off by a bird or a critter he would be called in and have to go in to reset the alarm. He was one that had to be at the store at O dark 30.

Carla good deal. Hope this gets resolved and everyone is happy. I have not even started selling eggs to hatch let alone ship them. Scares me. I have gotten shipped eggs and I do know the disappointment. 1st set of shipped eggs, they wrapped each egg in a paper towel and set them inside the box on shredded paper. 10 of 17 were broken. Only 3 developed. The 2nd shipment of eggs NONE were broken they were each wrapped in bubble wrap then wrapped again in a sleeve of bubble wrap 3 each. NONE hatched. Then the next 2 that were mailed one from Sheila about 4 or 5 out of 6 doz were broken but I got a 89% hatch from them. I never once asked for more eggs or my money back. I do know things happen. This guy demanding is what would have set me off.

KT pretty lil chicks you got going there. I love to watch a broody taking care of her babies.

Good luck on the job interview.

I like that, only 16 working hours

Somehow that lessens the pain to think of it that way. Im on vacation next month so WOOHOO i need so badly need one. Aint had one sense October!

Got to get the 1588 up and running, I cleaned it last nite and left it outside to dry. Got some eggs to set in it and hope to get another good hatch for my friend.

I can answer that for Carla since I have received 3 batches of eggs from her. e/m is actually c/m for cuckoo maran.
