Good morning Nicky, I'm o.k. just very tired. Trying to keep my head straight with the moves and getting everything organised for mid-month, just in case. It sounds like these people are planning to move out sooner, so we'll have to be ready to move ourselves as soon as possible after they left. We are going to start looking for a house to move onto from here. Phone some agents today and see what they can do for us. It's just difficult without a moving in date?

Ok, so I've read a few of your posts now on this moving process. Sounds like you've been the rounds. Moving is no fun as it is! I hope things start to come together for you real quick here. At least, house hunting..can..be fun? I hope your day goes well, and you get lots, and lots, done.

Anyone here from Minnesota or Iowa? I am just curious from someone living in those states how is the issue of Avaian Flu being portrayed in the media?

Sorry guys, I don't want to jump in an just stir things up. However, I just read an article that stated Iowa called a state of emergency, yesterday due to the AI outbreak. They are preparing for dealing with 16.5 MILLION carcasses. Minnesota has been in a state of emergency for awhile. This is scary stuff, they are now thinking it might possibly be transmitted through the air. The prices of eggs and chicken will increase and our whole food system could be affected. We have got to wake up as a nation and realize we cannot continue to farm and produce our food in these large mono cropping style operations.

Ok I am trying to step down off my soap box but someone stole my ladder!

I posted this link on another thread but it does well here as well. Good article with map about the current avian flu outbreak. As bad as it is, and it is bad, it is not as catastrophic as it seems. The numbers, while large, represent <6% of the total commercial poultry operation in the Continental United States. Us small scale poultry keepers will probably deal better in the long run because we are more able to manage our flocks in safe and healthy environments. It is devastating for those commercial operation that have been impacted but if we don't panic and practice good poultry management ourselves we can all help to reduce the risk.

I would leave tomorrow if I could! lol I'm so relieved things are moving along for us finally. It's been a long, long 2 years. Things here are BAD, our country's gone down a very, very bad road. It's so sad and terrible to see.
