The NFC B-Day Chat Thread

Okay, it's YOUR faults that this post will be long, but so many things happened in the last few days I needed to quote posts to remember some of them!

DH's assistant just stopped by looking for raccoon bait. I guess there was 1 (or more) that got into the golf course office and trashed the place.

DH is going to be so po'd :mad:

Is he still in Casper then, Debby? Raccoons are destructive and I don't even think they're "awww" cute! Not one bit! Sorry about the office. Hows the house coming along?

Good morning Sharron, how are you doing today?

We have howling winds and maybe another 2" of snow (that makes about 5" now). Florida is sounding better & better to me...I'm missing it!

Hmmmm...took longer to hear that than I thought it would take! :lau

Good morning! :frow
I wanted to give a huge shout-out to my son...His 15th birthday is today! Happy birthday Dylan! @Chick or Treat

:weei sold 5 chickens today!:ya

Happy birthday Dylan.

Today is my older daughter's 26th .... which means she is no longer covered on our health insurance. She has coverage at school but that is only good through April until she goes back in the fall. Have to come up with something in the interim.

I don't know why I didn't mention it earlier, but add my Granddaughter to today.

Today was my her 3rd birthday. She actually started blushing when we sang her happy birthday. :gig

It’s my niece’s 18th birthday today. We got our foot of snow I think. It’s still snowing. I just ventured out to the chicken coop...I can see why they call it heart attack snow.:thIt’s 32* right now so it’s mild. 40MPH winds coming in tonight and tomorrow. I wish I could get pictures of the monsterous drifts out by the sheds and in the field behind them.

Oh, my goodness! So many birthdays it's easier to give a blanket "happy birthday" to make sure I covered (pun intended) them all! Happy birthday wishes from here to everyone!

Well, we got our puppy this afternoon! She is so sweet and so chill! Hubs said she looked like a baby polar bear, so we are going to call her Ursa. (The Latin word for bear.) She is a little shy, and super laid back! Already wags her tail when she sees me! I'm in love! :love


Oh, man, is she a cutie!! Perfect name choice! Sometimes I think Fiona needs a friend to play with - most of the time she's just laying down, getting up and moving to another spot, then laying back down. At the boarding kennel she's in with other dogs and loving the play, interaction and activity. They said she plays hard with her friends, then goes to her bed and crashes hard for about two hours before she's up and at it again. When she's outside here and other dogs go by, she's running the fence like crazy with her tail wagging her whole body. BUT then I look at her and I think, "Where in the he11 would I PUT another one?" :confused: Guess I'm gonna have to worry more about her around the new chickens anyway!

I'm here! :frow

He's really cute! We just got a new addition too. Looks like yours will get big. Love the larger dogs, just can't do the larger breed now. Here is our new boy Luke. Our other guy is a mini Shcnauzer. They are buds now. Love your other dog...German Shepherd? View attachment 1697031

View attachment 1697113 View attachment 1697115 View attachment 1697116 Debby - house is coming along. Deck was built this past week. Kitchen floors are being ripped out tomorrow. All of the electric is going to be completed on Thursday, as well as the water pump finally going in! I've been working on stripping the kitchen cabinets. Trying to take off 80+ years of paint is not fun. The bottom few layers is like a really sticky gummy wood filler. Using the heat gun helps, but it still just spreads instead of coming off.

What a job! But it'll be so worth it all, won't it?

Nothing much more here. Got the new car. Love it, and Fee looks so tiny all the way back there. In the Rav she took up the whole backend and when she stuck her head through the gap it was resting on my shoulder. No more! And she actually has more room in her blocked off part of the van than she did in the entire back end of the Rav. Bonus: The wheelchair fits! So I'm a happy lady.

Well, off to Billings again. Ken didn't feel up to shopping after his tests like he claimed he would (and like I knew he wouldn't) so we need to get up there and get some much needed supplies. Funny, when you're not home much you forget what you have in the pantry and what you don't. Then when you get home and open the cabinets, it's like Old Mother Hubbard's cupboard! :he
 
We are #Beauregardstrong! People are helping the storm victims and FEMA is here in force. We are actually getting lot more help that California wildfire and flood victims...SMH. But thanks for asking.

Holy smokes! What the heck else did I miss? I gotta do some backreading on the ride up to Billings, whenever I have signal anyway! Was it the tornadoes? I'm so sorry!!

What is your new vehicle?
 
There's at least 6 layers of paint on there and it seems impervious to stripper. I'll give sanding a try today.
Sanding will fill the paper in nothing flat and take forever. It is OK if you are only trying to get a flat surface rather than removing the paint. What strippers have you used?

Yeah, 23 people were killed last weekend.

Oh.I forgot that part, didn’t I? It’s a brand spankin’ new Toyota Sienna. Never had heated seats before - will never be without them again! And a ton of room!

Nice car! Fiona looks lost in the back. Looking out her window too!

If there is anyway possible I would recommend getting a friend for her. It will add years to her life due to the increased activity and quality to it also.

What a great deck! Nice size for a grill, some chairs and a table. You're going to really enjoy that when the weather warms up. Pretty view too!


I think you said something about another storm headed your way...that never happened right? You guys have had enough!

Pretty car B! Looks like a nice fit for Fee. I 100% agree with you on the heated seats, once your tush warms up the rest of you can deal with the cold just fine :D

Maybe a smaller playmate for Fiona? Then they could balance each other out size-wise.
