Agreed! Did that make her think & change her tune?

The thing with my OD is she's very much a B&W thinker & she likes to debate. She wanted to use it to throw a spanner in the tutorial debates. I don't mind if it gets everyone thinking outside their box. Luckily she's used to me. When she was about 10 or so she was having a meltdown about something she couldn't have & I lost it. I'm not the most patient woman around. I told her so far as I was concerned no~one living in a 1st world country had cause to complain ever. They shoot children in Brazil. She didn't believe me so she looked it up. She's careful when she takes me on these days.

You are such a pistol...I love it!

I have to be careful. I can come across as arrogant & uncaring ~ which I'm really not~ but I like to keep things balanced & in perspective & you can only really do that if you take all the facts into consideration.

Meg!!!! So lovely to *see* you. I must get back to the cafe ~ but it has been an ongoing madhouse here.

Frizzles are actually a breed in Australia & there is a breed standard for both standards & bantams. My breeder only had this lavender girl but she'd been holding onto her hoping for someone who would really appreciate her. I do. And she's an excellent layer as well.

Beatha is a splash Aracauna ~ ours aren't rumpless like yours are. She's an odd looking girl but very sweet.

So good to see you, too! Yes, you definitely should pop in. I know it gets hard to make the rounds sometimes.

I didn't know that about the frizzles being a breed. Maybe that's why they look so much prettier than the ones I've seen! Not that they aren't cool looking, but a little less "posh" a little more "stuck-their-beak-in-a-light-socket"

Also, I didn't realize not all Araucanas weren't rumpless. I just come here to learn haha.

I hope you are well, Ribh!

I would have to think that anyone who knows you, would know that you can back up anything that you say with historical facts!

Very well, thanks, Meg. And you?

I think I was a strong contributor to this also...

I think it had calmed down and you reignited it.

Really...not a convertible top...

you got me there!

Thanks for that. I try ~ but no~one ever has all the facts, not even the people who were there @ the time. Covid is a perfect example. Whole cities get shut down but it hasn't affected us @ all because of where we live & the fact we already worked from home. Yet ask someone in Sydney or Melbourne & their whole lives have been disrupted.

Very well, thanks, Meg. And you?

I'm doing pretty good, thank you. Our weather is starting to turn on us and they're calling for snow this weekend. Sadly, I've got some porcupines running around the yard looking completely pitiful. Like my Goldie girl:

Hopefully those feathers start popping soon!
