You deserve it!
I love doing the greetings despite some days of hand trouble(arthritis) where it hurts to touch the keys. I tend to eliminate periods, and caps some times, just to limit the movements.
I DO read each & every post. But, by the time I reach the end, I have often forgotten the op's name or any questions they asked (brain isn't real sharp at 70). So I go back to the beginning to read their intro again!
Lots of times I forget to hit "post" and wonder why my response didn't show up. Have to go back and see what the problem is. Yup forget to hit post. Sometimes don't notice till days later . But, I do try the best I can.
People joining should at least get a brief welcome. I was so shy as a young person I was often overlooked or called a snob because I didn't join in activities. In due time they would discover I was just very introverted. Now I think I am too blabby. But, I wouldn't want to hurt someone's feelings by overlooking them.

You do a great job on there!

I have no experience with hatching, hope you locate the eggs you want. And I've never attended a poultry show, bet they are fun.
Yeah, I have the weekend off.plus I'm feeling a lot better. I had walking pneumonia and had to lose a week of work, the week before last.. So I've been recovering and making up time with clients.
Do keep taking it easy til you are totally well
. I had pneumonia last year and it was worse than I would have ever imagined.
...never thought about mosquito patrolling fish 
Oh, what a lovely puppy
.So glad they are back to work
You BETTER be talking about your family DD, I am in charge of food here. If I didn't make dinner there would be nothing but "forage the fridge". And there wouldn't be much in there if I didn't do the grocery shopping.
My DH does the grocery shopping and cooking
Hope they all pip without needing help this time
Wow, honestly you do deserve it, so keeping my fingers crossed for ya.
You BETTER be talking about your family DD
Even 250 is a huge number. Frankly it saddens be they are hauling dogs like cattle. Nice looking pup, seems to like her elephant.
Yeah, it is pretty sad they do it like that. Especially since that must be really scary for them.
You would think a rescue would treat them better.
But then again I've often wondered if they don't make at least some profit from it..
But thank you! They love her. They say they are trying my method of not yelling or using a really gruff/nasty voice or anything like that and they took a few of the books. He didn't want the library ones? Didn't to deal with returning them? So that's most of the books lol but he took 3 of the 4 that I bought. He originally only took 2 but then I made him take the third cause glancing through it it seemed like more scientific/detailed and general about understanding dogs rather than just a training book and yeah. But he might take more after they finish those.
But he said she knows sit already.
And apparently loves her bed, which was Gator's (they got him one for their house) and she's sleeping on it.
He also says that she is really small for 12 or 13 weeks, smaller than she looked in the pictures, and that her paws aren't that big, so he doesn't think she's going to get nearly as big as him.
And yes, she does appear to love that elephant. Still carrying it. Lol
Thanks Ron and RJ
I don't greet but I do get behind on threads a lot!
Good Morning Friends
Thank you all for the kind comments and likes on the garden.
sunflour great news on the Wellies!
The Platies are bigger than the Guppies that are already in the pond. Yeah, the smaller fish are making a change from the gold fish we used to have in Brisbane, but they are less ‘dirty’ too. The ponds are still nice to watch as you see flashes of colour as the little Guppies swim around and being prolific breeders, the pond will always have activity of some description to watch.
I suffer from tinnitus so I like to have the TV on as it helps to distract me from the ringing. Being in the garden does help though because then the mind is focused on other things. Silence is definitely not golden in my life
CF While we did not lose any gold fish to Herons because the girls used to warn me when one was in the garden, they were always a concern. I agree that they are not going to bother trying to pick off Guppies.
Hey Michelle sorry, I have only ever put bantam eggs under my broody bantams and never more than 8. No incubator experience.
MrsMistyReal Yep, I remember!
I hope you have [had] an enjoyable day at your sisters DMC.
My best wishes to your wife Ron.
NickyKnack sorry to hear you have been unwell but happy you are now feeling better.
Diva do not start me on “women have to do everything”! I was just thinking about how pretty much all hubby and FIL did yesterday was sit in front of their computers while I mowed and gardened and today, while I do the housework, clean the bathroom, vacuum, do washing etc, they will sit in front of their computers. Hubby does do stuff around the place, like the catio etc but while I am doing stuff all weekend, every weekend, he just does it when the mood strikes him and FIL even less so.
KD Libby is so cute and adorable!
Congrats on the beautiful eggs N F C
Happy hatching Jae!
rjohns39 Yep, I feel overwhelmed if I miss 1 day; especially the Greets.
So, usual plans for today, finish the housework, washing, grocery shopping but because of the overnight rain I only need to water plants that are under cover, no lawn or outside plants etc. Most of the morning is going to be spent trying not to shout “Either of you ever feel the urge to at least help a bit” while wiping off the sweat due to a 93F predicted maximum! If it was just my ‘mess’ it would be OK but I am not the only one who uses the bathroom and kitchen etc and it is not my dog dropping beach sand everywhere!
Oh and LuLu, Crystal and Dusty are moulting; poor babies … they are currently in a competition to see who can leave more feathers in the coop and run; Crystal is winning but Dusty is winning the ‘Impersonate a Vulture’ competition with no feathers on her head!!
Thanks Teila! They wanted me to visit today but I said she should get settled in first plus had hw. So I think we might go over tomorrow. I still think she really should get settled in for a week or two first or at the very least a a few days but oh well, she is their puppy lol
Good idea
Wow that'd be awesome! Congrats
When I miss days - happens a lot because I seem to need a lot of naps during the day, I am up sometimes to 7 am catching up. I'm a night person by nature anyway.
My father was very strict about not finishing things when I was a youngster. That and he had OCD,& anger management issues,as does my brother to a lessor degree and me to the least obsessive.
My mother suffered from agoraphobia, which we didn't know till I got into therapy. Then I realized it was the reason I spent most of my time in the house, and couldn't wait to get back to my room after school.
Enough about that, therapy helped about a million percent but, didn't start till later in life
so missed a lot of sleepovers, parties, possible dates

What a beautiful puppy!!
Same here though by now I can usually ignore the regular tinnitus. Then come the 1 or 2 octave jumps and increased volume spikes. No idea why but they get my attention.
What, no badge for "resident encyclopedia"??
I'm sure they make plenty of profit or they wouldn't be doing it.
