I like "Happy" by Pharrell Williams from Despicable Me 2.

That is the Dance Party song for my grandkids and me!


[Verse 2]
Here comes bad news, talkin' this and that
Well gimme all you got, and don't hold it back
Well, I should probably warn you, I'll be just fine
No offense to you, don't waste your time, here's why...


Because I'm happy...
Come along if you feel like a room without a roof
Because I'm happy...
Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth
Because I'm happy...
Clap along if you know what happiness is to you
Because I'm happy...
Clap along if you feel like that's what you wanna do

Bama, has the water gone down already, or are you still playing Robinson Crusoe on your porch?

We lost a chicken last night too apparently. I went to feed them and give them water this morning, and I found one of the new layers dead in the coop. Looks like it had just keeled over after stepping inside. Rigor was already set, so it has happened some time ago. No signs of anything on the bird, but I noticed it was super skinny. And it hasn't laid for a few days either, looking at my stats. But the rest of the flock seems fine, they're active and moving about.

It is still raining

I must.........hide...............the.................catalogs...................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh forgot it. New Year's resolution #1--------talk hubby into building another coop

CC, your description of your Penedesencas could have easily have been written by me about my Icelandics......except the 2 foot fences part

my Icelandics look at fences as a challenge and I've lost two females to hawks, one this fall and one two years ago. Not too bad since mine free range all day most days of the year.

Ditto, on the "I've decided to raise only my favorite breed".

Glad to hear you are on high ground and not in danger of the flood water

Nice time to be on the top of a hill.

It is still raining

Looks like a lot of rain south of Montgomery today and beyond.
Major flood warnings your way. Hope you keep power.

We're dryer now and they claim we'll see the sun by the end of the day. That will be the first in well over a week.

On another bright, improvement note. Weather service says that by Sunday night most rivers will only be in the moderate flood stage category.

Sorry to hear that.

Get the GF to necropsy it. She is a vet tech right?

Yep. Day 18 on eggs.
Stay safe

That sucks Felix! So sorry. Definitely do the necropsy. Wish I had done that with my Partridge Chantecler that died 3 months shy of 2 years old. Didn't think about it at the time but it sure would be nice to know why a chicken that seemed perfectly healthy at 8 AM was dead at 11 AM. She wasn't skinny and was still warm. No external trauma, nothing I could feel externally and she had laid an egg the day before.

 

[vehve]

She wasn't particularly excited to do a necropsy since we're both enjoying a lvely flu and are kinda tired, so I just disposed of it. If others start dropping we'll look into it.

 

[Alaskan]

Well.... Glad that you both have a lovely flu..... Better than an unlovely one.

 

[perchie.girl]

Alaskan I think you need to chill with soothing music. Check out Hawaiian songs from IZ on youtube. He died several years ago but, his music lives on. His last name is impossible to spell or pronounce unless you are Hawaiian. Me neither. IZ is all you have to put in the search box. His best (in my opinion) is his spin on "Somewhere Over the Rainbow."


When I'm depressed I love "Crazy," from Ceelo Green. In the young days it was "Go Now," by the moody blues.

I know how you feel I would love to re-do my life, except for the part of having my son - He's a real keeper. Otherwise my life mainly sucked big time.

Sometimes ONLY Heavy Metal will Do. Like Metallica's
Seek and Destroy

or
Ride the lightening

FWIW... Yea I like heavy metal too. Even the newer stuff...

I like Moody Blues but they seem to depress me. Give me music that makes me want to move. MY antidepressant. From Celtic to Blue grass to Zeidego to ZzTop and Metal

Even some Hip Hop and Rap...
