Sitting with a cup of coffee. (coffee lovers)

[Puddin Fluff]

My son has a friend who would have us baby sit her animals when she traveled over the summer with her parents.
When she got home...I found out she had given them to us.

By the third year she wanted a dog.
"NO! Do not let her have a dog. If she gets a dog then I get to pick it out!, And she better not use up all the puppy!" Luckily her parents agreed with me.
It got to where her parents were asking me what kind of pet she should get. ''One that does not end up at my house."

She got a hedge hog too.
I flat out refused the hedge hog. It got given to someone else.
Pets should be family not temporary fads or whims.

We certainly agree.

When I met my hubby I brought a cat into the relationship that tolerated him

, we adopted a second cat that he brought home later, and before the kids we got a dog. All three have since lived out their lives and been buried near by.

We agreed to the chickens with my daughter to begin with. She had already had hamsters whom she had cared for and had simply used up their 1000 days of life. She was amazing for the first year as they were hers and she did all the chores for them. After the first year, went by, my hubby thought we would be done with chickens but the bug had hit me.

If they had just been hers, they would have been sold off, but now they are mine.

This is too small. sorry.
I did not know. It all makes sense now.

I am an enabler - talked two families into chickens at TSC yesterday. Steered them away from CC and straight run to sexed pullets. One family already had a coop, and the second was looking into buying a coop before getting chicks. Yes, I did well.

Also told them to get online with BYC.

Just incase you might want to use it.... There is a button in the reply area called Multi. Its a way to tag more than one post to quote. Just gather up several by clicking on the Multi button.... then to reply you click the reply in the last one you wanted to quote.

This will pull up all the comments and they will be in their own boxes and you can answer each one in turn in a single post.

How do you do the nested quotes? I have never figured that one out.

I'm not allowed to look at any pulleys!

Btw that was suppose to be pullit

 

[Peep_Show]

I thought maybe you were channeling some British term. You know, "'Allo, luv. I'm off to feed the pulleys!" Just sounded like it.

Coffee ---- then loading roosters to go to auction.

Should be an interesting day watching people and looking at birds.

Puddin Fluff, don't be coming home with any pulleys.

But pulleys are such good and useful things.
Block and tackel- now that sounds like a rough boys' game.

Dd found this egg, but she thought it was a small skinny pecan. So when she picked it up, she broke it.
We don't think it's a chicken egg; get bantams aren't old enough to start laying.
Here's a pic.

Btw, I'm in the deep south.

by quoting someone who has already quoted someone else.... Oooh there is a setting within your preferences that either allows it or only allows you reply to quote the last person.... I get in trouble on some lists for not stripping out the nested quotes.
