O. M. G. this is so true! Bahahahahaha! BUT....in our house, it would be, we're going, get in the car or your behind is gonna hurt, kid. And if he doesn't, you pick him up and place him there, screaming or not.
You guys need a laugh this morning...this ain't no Southern American family. We could teach those Brits a thing or two. You guys need a big laugh. If you have kids, you'll get it. My youngest sister in AK, Candice, posted this and it started my day out with big laughs.

2 1/2 hours to the nearest Sam's club up here. I feel your pain.

the good thing is that all that city stuff that goes with those stores are not close by, either.

Yes, I am just amazed when I do go to a city at all of the different stores I mean who buys all that stuff?

Georgie walked outside today in the sunshine with her "sisters" and ate stuff off the ground, then in a few minutes, she walked back inside on her own. I helped her back into her pen because it looked like it wore her out a little bit, but she's making an effort not to just sit there. And when I give her food and water in the little tray in front of her, she guards it against everyone except June, who leaves her alone for the most part, won't steal her food, just gets a bite here and there, like she knows I put it there for Georgie.

I woke during the night to the sound of the wind in the trees, must be when the front line came through and the wind shifted to the South. It's 21 degrees this morning, which is 28 degrees warmer than it was yesterday morning, and almost 40 degrees warmer than it was on Monday. Heavenly.

Crazy weather! Almost single digits at night and now, this. This is nuts for February at my elevation.

After the negative temps, we're supposed to get to the 50's on Monday.

It's so warm today. Georgie went out with her coop mates and when I went back later to check on her, she was outside dustbathing with them. She tires easily but she's making progress. Doesn't mean she won't suddenly have another episode and just stroke out or something, but she's making a slow comeback. Leave it to a chicken to make a monkey out of me!

 

[1muttsfan]

Glad to hear that.

My birds were happily outside today for the first time in over a week. I shoveled almost two feet of snow out of one part of their pen, and laid some hay down for them to stand on. Lots of wing-flapping and tail shaking.
