Teach...you are so right...they are sweet, cute, lovable but the words stop with "w/o blemish....LOL When they are good they are very good but when they are bad they are VERY BAD...as in when the stupid Oklahoma weather keeps changing. I love my babies but sometimes I just don't like some of them. It's like training a litter of pups...cute and loveable but you still got to break the bad habits the parents let go for 4 years. LOL

Can I get an amen from the choir on that one? 95% of the difficulties my students have is due to their parental units. You know we spend so much time teaching these kids how to read, math, grammar, science, history and test them to death over it but the most imporant job with the most long reaching affects to society as a whole any human being has is being a parent. Do we teach that? No, we assume the parents are teaching this but when looking at the rate teenage pregancy, crime, drop-out rate, mental health system, illiteracy, poverty, etc, etc proves that our children are not taught the basic fundementals of being an adult raising a healthy, well adjusted child. Do not get me wrong, I expect my students to learn to read, math, history, science, etc but I also try to teach them how to be functioning individuals in society, because if we as educators do not step up and teach them who in the h3ll is going to?

Oops sorry I will step down off my soap box now.

Amen! I totally agree, people do not care these days about manners. I would like to commend Teach though on his son's they have some of the best manners I have seen a long time on young gentlemen such as Teachs' boys.

Cammie,

I think you can do this it is a very easy recipe and I think just about anybody can probably make these. The hardest part is just got to not walk away while melting the chocolate, so not to scorch.

Here is the recipe for Holiday Peppermint Bark candy.

1 (12 ounce) package NESTLE

TOLL HOUSE

Premier White Morsels
24 hard peppermint candies


1. LINE baking sheet with waxed paper.

2. MICROWAVE morsels in medium, microwave-safe bowl on MEDIUM-HIGH (70 percent) power for 1 minute; stir. Microwave at additional 10- to 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth. (This step is probably the hardest, just because you really have to pay attention and don't walk off like I like to do.)

3. PLACE peppermint candies in heavy-duty plastic bag. Crush candies using rolling pin or other heavy object. While holding strainer over melted morsels, pour crushed candy into strainer. Shake to release all small candy pieces; reserve larger candy pieces. Stir morsel-peppermint mixture.

5. SPREAD mixture to desired thickness on prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with reserved candy pieces; press in lightly. Let stand for about 1 hour or until firm. Break into pieces. Store in
airtight container at room temperature.


I hope all your little ol' ladies enjoy it!

Good morning Okies. Time to get liquid water out to the chickens and other poultry. I put Wazine in the water yesterday so only filled part of the water dishes, which will make it easier this morning since I won't have to break ice out of the tubs I left empty yesterday.

I know we shouldn't wish our lives away, but I am looking forward to warmer temperatures (above freezing) tomorrow.

Morning all! It's too dang cold! I sure feel sorry for DH having to lug warm water out to the hen house this morning. He doesn't get around too well, and always manages to slop some on him.

P&B - What is the withdrawal period for Wazine? I had a couple of hens that I thought had Cocci, so I'm currently medicating the water with Corid - (lost one anyway, dangit!). DH says it looks like one is pooping worms, but I haven't seen the poo myself. Could this have caused the bloody poo instead of the cocci?

According to the medication list prepared by Dr. Les, the withdrawal period for Wazine is 7 days for eggs.

I think that bloody poo can also be just a natural part of shedding the intestinal lining, that most chickens seem to do periodically. I am not an expert on cocci, worms or bloody poo. Someone else will need to jump in here and advise.

I worked as a substitute teacher for several years at the little country school my kids attended. I could NOT believe the behavior issues THAT THE PARENTS HAD!!! No wonder the kids didn't know how to behave! I learned real quick that I didn't have the patience to be a teacher. I also understood why my girls' teachers tended to brag on how well the girls behaved! If my girls got in trouble at school, you can BET they got in trouble again at home (spanking was definitely an option.) The other kids would get in trouble at school, and their parents would be up there hollering that their kids could do no wrong, and how DARE the school discipline their little angels! (I have a son in law like that - his youngest daughter is the devil in disguise, and it's everybody else's fault when she throws chairs at the teacher!)
