Sitting with a cup of coffee. (coffee lovers)

[chickadoodles]

Alaskan you can boil some water and put some coffee in the grounds basket (1 heaping Tbsp.) and set it on top of the pot and run the boiling water through so you can have some coffee. I have done it when my pot broke. Now I also keep a back up.

 

[chickwhispers]

For @Alaskan Take your pick..

and last but not least

The coffee pot at my clients house isn't taken care of by other staff that use it

I spent a half hour scrubbing and bleaching the moldy pot and filter the first time I was there but evidently someone doesn't think it ever needs cleaned. So I take my coffee, 1 and a half tablespoons, put it in the filter, put it on top of my cup and I put a rubberband around it to keep it from falling in the cup and slowly pour the almost boiling water on. (I do this in the sink in case I spill) In a minute I have fresh coffee. I use to-go cups.

Is never enough.
Happy Weekend Everyone!

Hey there, everyone,

I'm having a problem with my NH chicks. We've ordered a total of 9 males and 45 females and we've been losing half the girls (we happen to have lost one male too). We ordered them Aug and Sept last year and Feb this year. We've dealt w/ coccidiosis and fowl pox last year. This year, we're feeding medicated chick crumbles from the start, but we've still lost 4 of the 10 girls we ordered. This doesn't seem to be affecting the other breeds though, which is weird.
Any and all information, experience, and/or advice would be greatly appreciated!!! Thank you! =)

Teachick, sorry about your losses! I have no experience with that breed.

We call that hurricane coffee.
Boil the water on the grill and hope the power comes back on one day.

 

[Alaskan]

Oh Alaskan
Do you not keep a back up coffee maker?
I picked up a back up the first time mine broke just got a 10.00 guy from dollar store and no more problems.
But without the back up I guess I could bring in the one I have for the greenhouse.

a back-up coffee maker in the greenhouse!

brilliant idea!


@chickwhispers I want one of each!!

As one of my little boys says "I want all of thems"

At this point in the nightmare... I would take a freshly dead chick, and maybe an about to die chick and take them to your local place that could test them for causes.

Ask your local extension agent, or a local agricultural college.... not sure where else, if you know any fancy parrot breeding place.. they would also know where you could take the chicks.

When I did that, it was either free or maybe $10. (back when I was in Texas, and with a parrot) I think that ronott on here says that in California (isn't that where he is?) it is free.

But anyway, that is way too horrid.... I would have professional input.

I couldn't help but chuckle at this. I know exactly the feeling.

We don't have a way to test.
Thank you so much, @Alaskan !!!

I wanted to take a minute and thank you for your thoughts and prayers for my mom. She is dieing of Parkinson's That is such an ugly disease! She is closed they think *coma like*



Her husband passed april 15 last year of cancer. and it has been even harder on her without him to help her keep fighting.
But I would rather say good bye than to hope for her to live the way she has been recently.

so Again Thank You for the Prayers of comfort and support (the squeeky wheel gets the grease and all

)

I understand completely. A few years ago I did the home hospice care for a dear friend and neighbor who's wife was in the final stages of Parkinson's. We brought her home after she took a turn trying to recover from a fall that broke her hip the week before. I prayed every day for her to have a "speedy journey home". She finally passed peacefully in my arms.
One thing I learned, and was able to prove true, from a wonderful caring nurse, that even in the "coma" state where they really just draw deeply into themselves, they can still hear us.
Two years later her sister and my best friend in the whole world was taken by the same cruel disease. My continued prayers for you both
