It depends on if you have unlimited data or not.

I would set all of them to not update in the background. It will not hurt anything to do that

We do not and I share 21 GB with 4 other people.

What I do is turn off mobile data and only use wi fi as much as possible. If I need to use mibile data while I am out, I turn in on until I am finishes and then turn it back off.

Hey guys, for those of you that aren't following (or haven't entered) @Farmer Connie Pot Luck Contest, she has a dilemma. The winners of the contest are determined by "likes" on each entry and she has a tie situation.

If you haven't voted (by "like") on any of the contest entries, can you please spend a minute to do so before the day is over? Here's a post that will give links to the entries. #941

Thank you! (Just trying to help Connie out with her contest...no monetary remuneration involved )

It is a Wind eggs!

Those are usually from older hens that come off of not laying for a while. After 5 or so years old that is the only type the lay and only a couple a year

Thanks! Most of them haven't laid for a while, though some have been laying a while. The rest are slackers lol

They were hatched October 26th, 2015 so not too terribly old but maybe getting up there. 2 1/2.

Although that said, one of my Easter Eggers, Bunny, hasn't laid for like at least 6 months maybe more and she started laying again last week and just started right up with HUGE XL blue eggs! And has kept it up. That huge blue one is hers.

This egg is TINY. And apparently doesn't have a yolk?

Who sat in the chair?


Sounds kinda like "Weekend on 100". Meaning fall foliage season on VT Rte 100. It runs up the middle of the state. Of course it also sounds like "driving near Boston" any time of year. The last 3 miles in takes a LONG time, just WAY too many people for the available road. And there is a lot of road. It is just like anywhere within 50 miles east or south of Los Angeles.


Yellowstone is not an "arrive, drive through and look at stuff, go home" park. At least not if you don't live nearby and can go several times a year. Go, plan to stay many days and go see the sites.


Like Blooie said, it is a BIG park. You best bring your hiking boots, extra food and water if you want to walk between the things you want to see

Foliage season ia crazy!

And they've been expanding the round south of Boston (route 3 on the south shore), making it 3 lanes, MUCH needed. Don't know if they're doing that north shore.

Thanks, that's a good point. I would probably stay.

That is why we need to refer to it as "global climate change". Long term weather pattern changes, not just a linear warming in all areas. Though, presumably, all areas will be warmer on average over time.

Agreed. And crazier storms and higher sea level.

What I do is turn off mobile data and only use wi fi as much as possible. If I need to use mibile data while I am out, I turn in on until I am finishes and then turn it back off.

That's what i do but this was background data which my dad says is just what they use to track you and stuff. So I turned it off.

But look how much Google and YouTube used!!!!!

Advertisers track you by what you click on when browsing and using social media. They know who you are quite quickly and can follow you from device to device...Do not need cookies or anything!

For knowing where you are, the phone pings cell towers and that gives a general position. GPS is more precise and is what google uses along with cell data to give you driving directions.

My Oldest DD had a cat like that! He was a great cat. He went with a spouse after a breakup.

Good Morning Friends

Cap love the quail babies! And Luna pics Kelsey

Still raining and now windy too. Still only under minor flood watch but multiple road closures due to flash flooding, water on the roads. We are again cut off from major cities to the north and south.

This rain is apparently due to the convergence of XTC’s Nora and Iris. Varying predictions on what XTC Iris is doing; some say she is gone and no longer a threat but others saying she is going to build back up and return .. One site is predicting this for Monday but who knows; Monday is a while off yet and cyclones are unpredictable
