. You all are such an active group I may not post a ton, but reading will sure give me lots of ideas to think about this hatching season! I'll be setting my incubator up sometime this week, it's a home made cabinet. I didn't get to use it much last year, we'll see how this season goes.

And, since you all are talking about donating blood, I'm going to chime in with a big YES PLEASE

. It took triple digits of blood product transfusions to get me through my cancer treatment over the last few years, so its a topic near and dear to my heart. And a huge THANK YOU to everyone who donates, on a regular basis or even once

I'm glad you found your way over here, Donrae! Busy group for sure. Between this and Sally's thread, I typically only read the last page or two when ever I visit. So, if any one direct's a comment to me, please don't be offended if I don't respond back. I don't get the @ tags, or what ever they are, and don't have time to read everything. I trust that if anyone really wants to contact me, they will PM!

Welcome donrae! Replied to your pm.

Thanks for all the well wishes for me and hubby. I just left the hospital and he just told me they removed the heart monitor and are moving him to another room! Positive step toward going home Monday.

Giving blood... I appreciate all who do. I helped with lots of blood drives over the years and I know they screen better these days, so I hope its all safe. I have never been able to donate because I dont weigh enough.

I need to find out if that is still a stipulation. Friday, do you know if it is? Used to be like 125 pounds, I think.
I believe the requirement is 110#. I know the first time I donated, I had to lie about my weight. NOT one of the brightest decisions I've ever made!

Hey, BYC, how you doing???

Hi Lazy.
Pitched a Haybale yesterday :thumbsup
 
Glad he's doing better.  We don't like the idea of blood transfusions, But they can be life savers!  My hubby has had 6 units.  I urge any one who can donate, to please take the time to do so.  When organizing blood drives for various people, I often hear, "I can't donate blood, I'm afraid of needles, or afraid it will hurt too much." This, coming from folks sporting more than one tat, or with piercings.  Any how, I'll step down off my soap box for now.  It only takes an hour, and they load you up with chocolate chip cookies and juice after!

I'm also thinking Muscovies would be a nice addition.  I hear they are tasty.  Also considering buying some fertile duck eggs from the health food store to set... just for grins and giggles.

They won't take my blood in this country, because they think i am a mad cow! I am AB too. I did however donate for a little 3 year old in Tennessee who was having cardiac surgery years ago.
 
Goooooooooooooood Morning WV  :hugs glad DH has turned the corner and headed for the HOME stretch :celebrate . I know you'll be glad to get him out of that high Dollar hotel .:yiipchick  more time for chickens.


Thanks brother :hugs you should see the high dolla private room they put him in last night!
Hate to imagine what this will cost but whatever, I'm sure will be worth it.

His boss checked out his sick time. He's built up so much over the years, he will probably be able to ride all this out with full pay, without going short term disability.
