The NFC B-Day Chat Thread

Right on ron. Around Easter every year the New Member introductions seems to increase to
tremendous levels. If I recall it doesn't slack off till about June. Maybe by then they have already dumped their Easter chicks ???

Yes! and this year they will drop their shelter in place chicks!

I'm hoping a lot of those new to chicken people will grow attached and find out they like keeping poultry.

Of course, I am a bit of an optimist

I don't have my own thread where people come by and say HI, and I reply hi back and end up with a billion posts. I have to work for what I get Bruce. Every single one.

I do post and I am out to do my personal best. That's how I handle everything in my life. My first few years on BYC, barely posted at all. I didn't know how do much with a computer, didn't know many people. My first friends were sourland & Alaskan and I've enjoyed their "company" ever since.

Everything I do in my life, I am geared to do better than I DID before. I don't expect rewards or adoration. If no one claps or whistles or puts a a wreath of roses around my neck, I just continue on my way.

A very good friend turned up as a show runner for me. Kept everyone informed about how many more posts I needed to to reach 100,000. I have never forgotten that kindness of doing so. It made achieving my goal so much more enjoyable. When I hit that mark, I told NIfty I wasn't done yet. I have no idea how high it will go, or when /if I'll be too worn out to keep going. What happens, happens.

'Good enough"- as my brother says about "government work," WAS NEVER good enough for me. To be frank I think this hard drive I had to better myself is because no one thought I was worth the time of day when I was young. I was picked on by neighbor kids, kids in physical ed, my own relatives. I was extremely shy & fearful after some incident when I was 5 years old.

Sorry for ranting but, my son just called me and like last Sunday's call just was very sarcastic.He's mad that I haven't had the $$$ to remodel the house. I was just a dog groomer and never felt it was worth more than $ 10. to do so. I charged $ 10. when I was 16 and trimming in our basement. I charged $ 10. when at 19 I had my own grooming salon. I was so excited to have the money for rent, electric, heat and most of all paying hefty amount for insurance. Being new to the business world, I didn't realize my insurance payments were just coverage for the plate glass windows.

Rant on DD! "If you build it, it $$$ will come"!

Worries me too, that they don't.

I want/need another birthday. I was cheated out of mine last year!

Not many of us older people are all that interested in extra birthdays!

Here you go!

View attachment 2097448

Enjoy!

DD2's 25th is in a couple of weeks, do you suppose I could get away with that kind of cake?

Why do some think the rules don't apply to them ?

Because they are SPECIAL!

I have no idea what one of those is (and I kinda get the impression I don't want to).

Google is your friend! (or possibly enemy in this case).

A cane or walking stick sounds like a good idea Sour.

With a shotgun shell inside!

But if someone can’t control their dogs, they shouldn’t have them off leash!!

I don't believe that there is a dog in this world that is 100% voice controlled under any and all conditions.

paint was bad

I didn't know that could happen with new paint! Sorry for all the trouble, painting isn't all that much fun when it goes right.

I just found out that the hens like Nilla Wafers. They tried to eat my lunch!

Don't chickens eat almost everything?

Actually,my hens are kinda picky, about snacks and treats

What a paint in the azz!

Ok, yes, I have seen an Alien movie...about 100 years ago. Forgot what the face planters looked like.



Glad the paint store made good on their paint DMC. A fresh coat of paint in a room can do so much to brighten it up!

Me too!

This was something they’d never seen. I’m glad it happened when they mixed a new can too. It was like little beads that would pop.

I think people with Easter chicks, will soon enough discover chickens are not allowed in their neighborhood.

We are continuing to lockdown at 'level 4' until next Monday midnight. It doesn't affect businesses much because level 4 was in place until this Wednesday midnight anyway, and Monday is a public holiday here as well, so it's only been extended by 2 'working' days.

Our rate of transmission is at 0.48% and they've been doing random testing in 4 or 5 major cities and are yet to find a case out in the community. Sadly, the fact that it has got into a few aged care facilities means our death toll is currently 12.

DS is a bit cut up we can't go and get Hoppy yet but we still need to get her food and hay (which we'll have to order online then pick-up at the time they give us). And we have the ducklings to prepare for.
