Surviving Minnesota!

Ha hah! C'mon now. I'm weird, but not that weird. I could tell you some pretty gross surgery stories, though. 

I wanna hear them, just to make Ralphie barf

(You do NOT want to see what autocorrect tried to do there.)

Alrighty, here we go. I'll only add a few. I did end up using some spray lidocaine and an ice cube. The scalpel worked pretty slick. I have the chick's toes covered in antibiotic ointment and wrapped with gauze. Bleeding is pretty minimal. I'll need to get those toes straightened tonight or tomorrow, so I'll do the cardboard tape method....

Wanna know what kids do now?

They just heat the needle up with a lighter and shove it through. One of my friends even used an earing and just shoved it in and it would only go half way through

I have very intelligent friends

That is too creepy, I can just hear the sizzle.

One night in a life far far ago while working in a small bar in southern Iowa, I was hanging with some meth dealers......

One of them wanted an ear ring like mine..... He was drunk and I needed the street creds...

So I took mine out and said I would give him mine for a 8 ball. He said he was not pierced...

I told him I could handle that too...


I got my 8 ball, I put a wadded up piece of bread behind his ear and shoved like crazy, He screamed, Blood flowed, and he had my earring......

Everyone was happy,,,that night,,6 months later he was not so happy......

Am I stoopid? I don't get it.

My Broody SS hatched a batch today. She let me look at them, but I was not allowed to touch.

Do SS go broody often? my SS chicks are friendly and sweet!

Looks like you did a great job!

Thank you Erli - I didn't get it either. WHY was he not happy six months later?

Oh my gosh. Already looks better! She'll heal so much faster at this age and get a better start on life. You're so brave! Great work!

The gauze slippers on that adorable fluff ball of a chick are to die for!!!

lvie, thank you too ! I'm happy I asked now. Even if he won't explain

 

[Bogtown Chick]

I can explain but I might look stooped if you ladies are fun in' Ralphie.

Ok. Ralphie in his previous life worked law enforcement specifically under cover drug enforcement. When Mr. meth head sold his 8 ball for an earring he was selling to a police officer who then turned that over to the DA who then with enough evidence brought up charges and a court day and prison time about six months after the incident.

How am I doing Ralphie?
