I think I'd pay to see that!

Hey!! I don't have a skunk problem. Knock on wood I haven't seen one in the year we've been here.

Well, SC and I together give you over 80....lol

That's not old! My dad is 71. He makes me feel old though, he gets out and push mows the grass and stuff and I sit my lazy tail on a riding mower, lol. But then again, I have 6 acres, he's got a little under 1.

Oh, I wanted to ask yall, how can you tell if a chick has pipped internally? I'm nowhere near that yet but I want to know what to look for when the time comes.

I'm not mowing as much as you, but more than he is...I use a 50" zero turn that I bought when I mowed for the public...love it!

And anyone else who needs them... rough day must've been going around... :/

And I can't remember anything else...

Props to you for taking on the caregiver role.  We did that for my husband's grandparents and their dog as long as they were physically able to remain in our house.  It's very, very hard.  You should not carry any guilt, without caregiver respite it's probably the hardest task an adult can take on.

Best wishes for your full recovery, and be sure to spend quality time on you.  

thank you both! Walnut i had hubby oil it, and im Not replacing parts at half the price i pd for it, nope!

Definately need to lube it, i used:

Poultry is great therapy. Alzheimers Disease is awful. It is very difficult to care for a loved one that suffers. Its a shame that your family couldn't share her care. At least you know that you gave her the best of yourself. 

Now that is an interesting piece of equipment.

Oh no, at least you got it! 

Are the plugs out? May need ventilation.

Its just one of those cases when it rains it pours. We can hear the transaction from my bank card 2 WEEKS ago for the water bill, km burnt up behind my water getn cut off. When things like this happen i just get so down really easily. I do better with every day, but sometimes i just break without warning. Yesterday was one of those days, it was one thing after another until i just broke down...

I learned the hard way that respite care is Overtly Neccesary for all caregivers. Bravo to all of you who have taken care of anyone for any length of time! Even kids are more than i can take right now. I dont have any, cant, but i have the insicnt and it leads to me most often to critters... Ruby ive rehabed like you and your mon for the last year 5 squirls im at yall are right, my family shouldnt have left it all to me. The only reponisble party in my family is my daddy, and him and my stepmom came on his weekend off every two weeks for one day. They couldnt understand why i needed more than that. I dont play with drugs at all anymore. I was put in prison for years, fighting for my life with the 30 year sentence they gave me for POT... Its true i lived in a place that corrupt. 30 years for like 3 grams of pot... Obviously i won, or else id be in prison 25 more years... Im terrified of getting strung out or turning into an alcoholic, so i dont play with any of it. Lots of people say the psyce meds would help, but truth is they only Numb, and u still gotta deal w the bs

Wondering that myself. Never heard of it b4 I started hanging out here

Glad you're close to me, BYC... I know who to ask if I need some PI work, lol...

LOL

Pretty good computer skills for a senior.

Mine just turned 84. Praying he gets to see 90! I was a late life baby...lol

You usually don't see it unless you are candling after lockdown. If you hear a peeping you have an internal pip. If you do happen to be candling and you see a shadow in the air cell (usually a triangular-ish shape) then most likely it has pipped into the air cell. (The shadow being the beak.)

My husband likes those. We had nice Kabota with a 48" deck but someone stole it. Made me so mad (maybe I should hire BYC910!!) So we're in the market for a newer used 1. We liked the Kabota alot but Deeres and Husqvarnas are another option we like. Real 1's, not the junk you get from Lowe's with Briggs & Stratton engines.

Or, you could be blue and not worry about it. I've never seen an internal pip...
If they ain't coming out to look at me, I ain't lookin' for them

Oh, ok, I always wondered since you aren't supposed to open the bator after day 18. Now I know, lol, thanks.
