Blooie, I really wish that I could feel and honestly say that. Most of what I have learned about love and how to treat others has come from the Princess and friends along the way. I depend upon her to be my guide in interpersonal interactions.

"Don't know where ya been, Lad, but I see ya won first prize." Now where exactly did I put that blue ribbon?

That would be the one...... the other one they loved is one I can't remember the name of, but it starts out: "As I came home on Monday night, as drunk as drunk could be - I spied a horse tied to the post, where my old horse should be. So I called the wife and said to her, 'Would you kindly tell to me......who owns that horse tied to the post where my old horse should be?' 'Ahhhh you're drunk, you're drunk ye silly old fool, so drunk ye canna see....that's a lovely sow that me mither gave to me' Many's the time I traveled, a hundred miles or more.....but a sow wit a saddle on I never seen before."

And it just keeps going....the pipe is a tin whistle, the coat is a blanket, the boots are geranium pots...it's actually pretty funny!

As far as siblings go, I wish everyone could have what I have always had with mine, but I know that's not possible. Even in my own family I would never be able to get Kenny, Tamrin and Terrin in the same room. It is what it is.....I told Ken that when I die, we'll have to have two funerals - one for Terrin and one for everyone else. He just shrugged his shoulders and said, "You're kind of assuming Terrin would even care enough to come." Yeah, like that!

I've read that some folks just get the mini Chihuahua size harness for chickens. I would imagine it is too large for any really small bantams.

Chris, how often do you get to go back to the UK? That has to be a long plane ride.

Good morning Debby -I'm trying to get back twice a year from this year onwards - the folks are not whipper-snappers any more. The journey is not too bad - 8 hours to Amsterdam and then 1 hour to the UK - its the getting there 3 hours before departure and waiting around that bugs me (as well as other passengers

).

Thats cool - nice one - can't draw to save my life

Today has not started well - i have a hen setting some eggs that i bought and so far only 1 has hatched (and that was a good few hours ago by the look of it) - not hearing diddly from the remaining ones so I'm ultra grumpy this morning

. Will have to keep my fingers crossed that my fears are unfounded - but I'll still keep up the grumpiness, just in case I'm right!
