Hmmmmmmm, let's see..........what could I send for the milestone posts? Geritol? Depends? Aleve? Blue pills? A Cane? Prunes? Oh, the possibilities...............

I vote for a physical therapy certificate.... So all the cramped up muscles from arthritic and a messed up back can be smoothed away.

Or, little monsters to chew on the arthritic hand..... Gotta help better than Aleve.
Grand prize for the most chatty should be a walker!!! A really COOL walker with racing stripes and streamers on the handlebars and a REALLY REALLY annoying horn!

Broodie pros HELP! Why won't the hen let me hold the poults they are a week old now. When I try to put my hand down near any of them or her she puffs up like an attack dog!
I want to hold them so they get used to me....

It just depends on the broody.... Some will let you touch, others won't.

I don't think there is much you can do, except maybe sit down next to the broody for a long time and hope she calms down.

I just saw on the tv those 40 cars carrying the victims of the MH17 atrocity to the place where they will be identifying the dead.

I feel for those poor families.

Such a random act of stupidity.

I will be on one of those 777 in less than a month and last was on one just two weeks ago.

My brother in law is one of the Philippine Airlines pilots for 777. I had talked to him a couple of weeks ago about their new routes to Europe. He was saying they were looking forward to flying north of the Himalayas and over that area. There were 55 planes that flew that route that day. The Singapore airlines plane was just 12 miles away.

So random.
