Opie is Ron Howard, MUCH younger in The Andy Griffith Show.

Likely wouldn't do any good to call a lot of landlords anyway. You can bet they wouldn't be coming in to replace baseboards.

That's very true. When I lived in an apartment, I felt as if my landlord hated me just because things broke. I have boys; they were a lot younger at the time but even more destructive 🙄

Story time... 📖
The last winter (2016) we were at our apartment the heater made a loud POP then it sounded like it was louder than ever. I tried calling, they sent a contractor to tell me it was probably my fault for not having a filter. So, we cleaned and did all we could. 6 months later, in the heat of summer, the A/c heater unit thingy completely went out and our landlord didn't believe me. Took 3 days and 2 different contractors to say it was 2 different things before an actual heating & air guy came out and said a piece of the motor got worn out and broke... not my fault.
3 days in, a 2nd floor apartment with the heat of summer.... I had never been so livid and hot. My dad bought me a huge air conditioner to get us by.
Then a week later, I found out a landlord is obligated by law to repair the heating and air unit by 48 hours.
By that time, it was finally fixed.

Sooo happy I don't have to deal with that anymore!

Coffee is an important start to the day, that's for sure!

My boys still like to tease me about the time the power went out in about 90% of the town we lived in. And me desperately driving around trying to find someplace where I could get a cup. :lol:

How are things up your way DMC? Did you say you are getting snow flurries?

Hi all. I’m sitting on the patio while Abby gets some sun. It’s still nice in the shade but a bit toasty in the sun. I’m tired today, stayed up way too late watching Netflix. It’s great when there’s no commercials and you can go to the next episode and find out what happens :) Hope you’re all having a great day!

Sounds very relaxing :) and I definitely know how those nights can be :D but I hate how exhausted I am in the morning. Sometimes worth it :p if the show is good.

Watches The Walking Dead last night - it was the best episode they've aired since the pandemic started.

If you haven't thrown them out yet, you could always make a blanket or something out of the shirts. I've seen many other people do this and they can turn out really cool.

I was thinking the same thing! Could make a cool quilt :love especially with all the band tshirts, some have the coolest logo @TheDawg I completely understand how hard it is to let go of those shirts. DH has at least 2 totes full of t-shirts he cannot part with. And he still has more shirts in his closet than I have in my entire wardrobe :lol:

Where did half a week go?! :lol:

My broody hatched her chicks yesterday. It was her first time and I left her with 6 of her own eggs and put 4 more of her eggs in the incubator just to ensure she was successful in her first attempt. I put the 4 from the incubator back under her about a week ago. She's now the very proud mother of 10 tiny darlings!

Lucky, the rescue turkey, got returned to the wild as he was most definitely a boy and harassing the chickens. DH took him back to the people who found him and they released him near the local flock, and he did follow after them so hopefully he'll find his way.

The 3 turkey were absolutely fine free ranging, until they discovered where the chickens hang out all day. Then they wouldn't leave. Things settled down for awhile with Lucky gone but unfortunately one of the white turkey decided it didn't like our Mottled Houdan hens (despite the fact that we have other chickens that look similar). Poor Pepper and Dorothy wouldn't come out of their coop, so that wasn't fair, and I figured with new chicken faces going to appear it was just too risky to keep the turkey. So the two white turkey are going to their new home on Friday. Currently they are with some cockerels in an enclosed coop and run.

We've had lots more rain today and even some thunder, lightning and hail. Our dam filled up quickly with the run off from the hills behind us, but our water tanks will take a bit longer to fill.

Hi JaeG! So eggcited for your broody to be a momma :D thats one ot my favorite parts of raising chickens. It's too bad you have to get rid of the turkeys. Being from the city, I didn't know there were wild turkeys until I was 20 :lau
Do Turkeys not get along with chickens?

One winter we lost power for a week. I thought the neighbors were going to storm the houses as my morning coffee brewed out on the grill. :gig

Good morning Mad :frow Have a wonderful Wednesday 😉

I don't like apartment living, it brings out my not nice side and that's not good. Not getting things repaired, children and adults jumping around at all hours above you, noises coming through walls that you'd rather not hear. I could go on, but I'll stop.

I used to sleep au natural but then I got old and cold. Easier on the sheets I suppose but not fond of the pajamas getting twisted up.
