Ke_ben come home! You need to move back to Oklahoma so you can at least have a smidgeon of a chance for a White Christmas - and where you can enjoy breaking ice and carrying water to the animals. Ah...Winter! Speaking of which, today at 11:47 a.m. it will officially be winter.

Hi Beth. Believe it or not I did have to haul water one morning a little over a week ago, just the 1 day so far. My wife and I both would love to come back to OK (Well, except for the occasional ice storm and the humidity.), but not anytime soon with MIL (80) just across the street. I really do have to go now though, I mean it. (I would rather just hang around and chat.)

Hi Sooner.

Good job HennyP! You are so awesome. How's Mike and your mom? Are you looking forward to Christmas? I was happy to not hear in the news that Mike's boss had been assaulted at the company Christmas party - you had me laughing at that!

I missed this post, I must go read it......sounds like a good laugh!!!

Just got a phone call from one of my favorit Okies!! Monty is having compurter problems! The desktop won't get online but the laptops will. I suggested that he call his internet provider so hopefully we will have his witty self back on the board tonight.

He sounded great but had to get Jarred up to go Christmas shopping!

Glad to hear Monty is not ignoring us on purpose - I hope he gets his computer problems solved soon.

I am leaving tomorrow to go visit my folks - supposed to be snow out there Wednesday and Thursday (I come home Thursday/Christmas Eve). It will be nice to see snow, but knowing the Panhandle it'll be blowing sideways. Once while in college I was headed back to Stillwater in a snowstorm on icy roads and the wind blew my little Pinto right off the highway into the ditch. The guy in the pickup behind me saw it happen and he stopped and pulled my car back onto the highway. There may not seem to be a lot out in the Panhandle, but the weather can get exciting!

Had that happen once while pulling a boat through New Mexico during a snow storm, it's a creepy feeling seeing the boat in an L shape while driving. When we finally stopped at a hotel the next morning the boat was in the L shape again from the wind.

I hope he gets the puter fixed too! I need my Monty fix!

After much studying and lots of writing I am back. Unfortunantly, some of the studying did not help as much as I had hoped. I have 3 A's and a B......... I hope ya'll have a Merry Christmas though to those who are leaving for a bit for the holidays!

Father in law had that happen, too. They were coming up from Corpus Christi, TX pulling a boat. When they got to OK, it got a bit chilly so they turned the heater on. They also noticed it had been raining. They were flying down the highway doing 70, and noticed someone in the next lane was pulling a boat exactly like theirs. Uh oh, not exactly like their boat - it WAS their boat.

Father in law managed to slow the car down and stopped on the shoulder. When he got out of the car, he slipped on fell right on his keester! He didn't realize the roads were not wet - it was black ice that was so slick you couldn't walk in it, let alone drive on it. The last 100 miles of the trip took longer that the first several hundred miles!

I don't eat many eggs at all, and I prefer that they not be fertilized. I normally keep the layer flock inaccessible to the roosters. Lately tho, since I'm not hatching, I've just let them run together. Because they're fertile, I don't want them for the table, and since I don't have them separated, I don't want them to hatch. So, I feed them to the dogs or toss them.

My wife bought eggs for the holidays from the store for the first time in a long time. She bought eggs at the store on the same day that I spent over a hundred bucks on chicken feed. Mama ain't happy 'bout that.

-Stimp-

I have to admit that I don't give any thought as to whether the egg is fertilized, as I use it for baking, scrambled eggs or otherwise. When I first began cooking - my mother taught me to break each egg into a small dish before adding it to my ingredients. The one time I got into a hurry, many years ago, the 17th "store bought" egg was rotten and I had to make a flying trip to the convenience store to buy more eggs so I could make breakfast for my guests. I haven't broken eggs directly into the rest of the ingredients since then, so it is easy to pull an egg that has a "meat spot" which isn't a fertility issue but rather a broken blood vessel when the hen laid the egg.

You know we eat fertilized eggs all the time, at least when I have hens that are laying. The eggs we get are great tasting with really dark yokes. I have had a few that had a blood vessel or a meat spot but when you scramble or put them in a cake no one knows the difference. I hate that I am having to buy store bought eggs, they just do not taste right.

Betsy, thank you for letting us know! I hope to be at this show... I have never made it before....
Do they have show catalogs? Would I need to contact Mr. Kenneth to get one?
