My computer is up, and running......well, with 1 exception. My monitor died. It's ok, we have a spare for when we fix computers. I'm using that for now. I'll get my new monitor next payday.

I about gave Dh a heart attack. Got all the components done on the new build, hooked everything back up. It started like a champ. I clicked to update the BIOS and got the Black Screen Of Death. Dh assumed I totally screwed up the BIOS update, and bricked the computer. He was fussing about having to send this one back, and wait for a new one to arrive. I was sure I had not goofed. Not my first rodeo. I even reset the BIOS to factory. The computer started. No beep, or Q codes. Hmmmmmm.....That's when I got to looking, and there was no power on my monitor. I plugged it into a different outlet. Nothing. I disconnected it from the computer. Nothing. That's when I insisted he get the spare monitor. Got it hooked up, and everything was just fine, except the monitor.

I guess it's a good thing I had chosen a new monitor. It was going to be the last thing on my list to buy, but it just didn't work out that way.

Most motherboards have a safe bios feature now too

Soooo basically what everyone is saying is that you will have to get re-vaccinated every 4-5 months to keep your immunity active?

Oh right, people are just going to LOVE that!

G'morning everyone in Internet land!

I remember when everyone was keeping their fingers crossed that this was going to go into remission when hot weather hit like the regular influenza. Surprise! It hasn't which makes it unique in the virus world.

I just wanted to let everyone know who hasn't heard, the baby goat was captured by a neighbor! @microchick

Yes, the lady drove her down in her car! I have been bottle feeding her milk and electrolytes. She is taking it well, but when I put her with the other goats I was worried. So I went back to check on her, and she was lying flat on her side! Not what I wanted to see. Now she is sitting on my lap in the living room. I pulled off all the ticks , and there were a lot!

Cap, I know that under your care, it won't take long for the baby goat to be fit as a fiddle, once again.

I hope so. She did stand up for a while before she slid down on the kitchen floor. I had to wash pots.

Poor baby is probably exhausted and dehydrated. I agree, with your TLC she will be fine.

I went out tonight to do night feeding and had to laugh. Two of my Fayoumi chicks were fighting, one I'm sure is a boy and the other is anybody's guess. The comb looks either male or female at this point but I'm suspecting male. These too little goobers were really going at it and the third, who is definitely a pullet kept trying to break them up only to get dragged into the battle. Meanwhile, mom just kept scratching in the dirt looking for the scratch grain I threw in for them trying to divert their attention. Their little OEGB SDW sister worked at keeping mom between her and them.

I finally grabbed the half fayoumi instigator and carried him around with me while I did my chores.

And they say OEGBs are bad about fighting!
