The NFC B-Day Chat Thread

DS isn't too sure about the chickens and they aren't too sure about him but I'm not worried, they'll get along fine.
Chickens are a pretty easy, put out food, make sure they have water, collect eggs. They don't even have to like each other.

BUT, as we know, he can buy their undying affection with some BOSS or scratch. Even Oreo (Exchequer Leghorn) has decided I'm not out to get her.
 
Opie wants to know if any of you would like a piece of cake (nice of him to share, isn't it?)

Love that picture!
Is everyone ready for spring? Here it's thawing. :yesss:

Well, we didn't really get much snow in the first place. Most of the ground is already pretty bare.
YES!!
Michelle, I forgot to wish you a Happy Anniversary - hope you had a lovely day. You and I must've been married in the same year. Except ours is in September. I'm wondering where (almost for me) 13 years went! Doesn't seem like that long.

My washing machine will finally be fixed today. :wee It's only been two and a half weeks without one! :hmm

And my little baby Buttons both got put back in the incubator last night because the first one, despite now having a buddy, is still yelling for humans. At least it sleeps in the incubator. I've never had one do that. Even the one that was on his own for a week quickly abandoned people in favour of his own kind! It'll be interesting to see how long that lasts. There's another egg pipped so hopefully that will hatch today.

Hope you have an awesome hatch Cap - baby quail really are the cutest, the Coturnix ones especially because they have longer down than the Buttons. And they are so calm.
Glad your machine will be fixed.
Good Morning Friends :hugs

Debby I am pleased you had a nice visit and dinner. Aaaaw, adorable pic of Opie!

BLOOIE!!! :hugs :clap

LOL Connie and Ron! :lau

For hubby’s birthday I bought him a computer which is going to be our dedicated media centre and yesterday we transferred my music collection [> 64,000 tracks, 226 Gig] off my external drive and in to the media centre so now we can all share it. I also now have more room on my drive for photos! Both my music and photos are also backed up to an additional drive in case of failure; I would hate to lose both.

Hubby said that he had a good birthday and it was topped off with the dinner and desert. Apparently, not only did I nail the Steak Diane [like his mum used to make], I nailed the Angel Food Cake too! Thank you for the recipe, tips and support! It must have been good because even FIL commented as opposed to the normal derisive grunt ;)

I should get extra credit on the Steak Diane because the gas stove ran out of gas during the cooking and I had to transfer everything downstairs and finish it off on the BBQ. Thank gawd it did not run out of gas during the baking of the Angel Food Cake :bow

I made a fresh raspberry syrup to pour over the Angel Food.

Hubby has gone back to work today [Friday] and I am hoping to get the lawns mowed. It is still very wet out there but the future forecast indicates that today is probably going to be my only chance for a while. Some weather sites are predicting a ‘significant weather event’ next week …

Prepare for a potential major record flood which is forecast to impact the area during the next 5 days. It could rival anything during the past 44 years (since the 1974 flood). It may also be so significant that nothing has ever been experienced like it in this state. Widespread rainfalls total of 200 to 400mm is likely with up to 500mm possible. [7 to 15 inches and up to 19 inches]
Looks fabulous!
 
Flowers at the Drs office...

What really made me mad were all the cigarette butts everywhere. I mean really, they take the time to spruce it up and just trash it!
 
Sorry folks, i've been reading like 90+ posts and hope I make sense here...

I think mine is May 8th :)...but we don't celebrate it.

DW and I eloped on 2/8, so when we did the "official" wedding we did it on May 8th. Long story, but turns out the hospital sent mom a receipt for the blood test...

I'm definitely ready for spring. Good to see you here.

I got a new computer! I can SEE you all again.....Oh, I'm so happy! I missed you all so much!!!

Blooie so glad you're ok and all is normal... Tell Ken that he and I have a mutual acquaintance named hyram...

Wow that's impressive she even made it to 12 living on the streets! And that's great you were able to extend her life by a few years and make her last few comfortable!

We had to put down our cat of 18 years, but he was a fighter right up to the end.

Thanks.....it is so funny! I popped in to say "hi" and hit "post", then started a post over on Rachel's thread. As I was typing, my phone rang and I just got off the phone after a very nice conversation with Bruce. Didn't even finish the other post until just now! :D

Now, now....you all know not to worry - you've known all along that my time visiting would be kinda on-again-and-off-again! (although I'd be lying if I didn't admit that it's kinda nice to have a whole bunch of friends living inside this box of electronics who care about each other to wonder!)

Forgive us if we worry...
