I know what you mean - things I do almost never come out the way I picture them in my mind, but sometimes I like what actually happens better!
(And I love the things you've been making, BTW)

Deb I also can't wait to see what you are working on.
I bought a very nice Olympus camera off ebay and I called Olympus and they emailed me the link to all the updates and let me sign up for weekly tutorials. I only paid 85.00 for the camera
it's nice. I would like a zoom lens for it one day.Just a thought.
I had a rough day today. I lost my 7 week old pullet to classical Marek's paralysis. She wasn't eating, barely able to get around and not able to get out of the way of one of the mature pullets who was attacking her. It was time. So we helped her fly free. Felt pretty whipped and hopeless until I candled my broody's 5 eggs and saw new life, one of them even waving a foot at me. I'm still trying hard to see the glass half full. I know this is going to be something I'm going to have to face from time to time but new life. You have to feel hopeful. I also had one of my two OEGB pullets go broody on me. She has 4 eggs under her. The good news is that they are almost a year old now and healthy. The eggs Sparkle is sitting on and Maddy Is sitting on came from her and Little Dove. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.And praying a LOT!

Hello!
Oh my goodness! I didn't intend to cause an issue with my offhanded comment. Penny and Alaskan are correct. My offhanded comment was a bit of silliness about a very serious subject that I know all too much about.
I appreciate your concerns. But I have no illusions about cancer. Nor do I need any institution to fear monger me into believing any hype. I come from a line of women who die from cancer. It was my choice to ask about a mammogram after my sister found something. I was pleased that my doctor considered my request, discussed his views with me and in the end sent a requisition for a mammography. Women here are not given a mammography until they turn 50. My family doesn't necessarily make it to 50. For me, it will not be a case of "if" I get it...it will be a case of "when." I practice due diligence; I don't smoke or drink and I get a yearly physical exam and blood workup. I'd rather be on guard and prepared, and have a base of tests that can be used for comparison if something does show up.
I have no illusions that detection isn't prevention. I'm very aware that detecting cancer early does not mean you will survive it. But catching it early rather than opposed to later gives an advantage that I'd rather have than not have. For every year I'm here, I very much consider that I've "outmaneuvered" cancer. It's that much more time I've had here. My mother passed away 18 years ago from an 8 year battle with cancer that continually moved. She was 39 when cancer showed up. I consider myself very fortunate to be here at 45. So I live everyday to the fullest and I prepare for the eventuality that I may be gone and I try to prepare the guys (although they don't know it) so things can continue smoothly if I leave. There are no guarantees in life, cancer or no cancer. My 9 lives are already long gone.
