The Old Folks Home

[chickensnewtome]

Hi everybody I'm hoping to join this thread from what I've reads look like my kind of folks.I'm retired living my dream here at my little mini ranch out on the prairie in okla. I've been a chicken trader for many years still learn something new most everyday. three dogs too many cats a couple of goats and a donkey complete the gang.

Welcome!

I too am a lurker and have been on the 24 hour auction thread and am medically forced semi retired. I have cats, dogs, chickens, husband, a 6 year old I care for as well.

Welcome to you to!!!

WOW! Three new residents in the Home! That's wonderful! Great to have some new blood. We really are more like a family on this thread. We welcome you with open arms and want y'all to jump in and participate, instead of just reading. As for the rest of you Lurkers, now's a great time to make yourselves heard, as well.

Yesterday when CNTM shares her sad news, I actually got teary eyed. I consider you guys my dear friends.

AWWW!!!! Wisher!

Thank you!

I also teared up at CNTM's sad news. We do care about each other and try to help one another! And SCG said it right "Thanks Wisher for founding the OFH thread"!

AWWW! YA'LL!!!!

Hi everyone! I'm not retired, yet. Hubby and I run a small business. We live in the woods in central WI with 2 dogs and 25 chickens. (I can't believe I just admitted to the number of chickens)

Mind if I pull up a chair and hang out a bit?

WELCOME!!!!

Now, now. Don't scare the new guys, just yet. Let them get comfortable with the thread and us, and then we'll show our psychoses.

I am trying to figure out my new sewing project. Just finished superhero masks and capes for the kids. The sewing machine is on the table over there, mocking me... calling me.

I did buy material for a fancy apron a few months back before I got sidetracked with other projects but I've lost the website tutorial for it. I'd also like to make a quilt (with some off fabric like you're sending me) but I need someone to show me how to do that, first. I've asked the neighbor repeatedly who promises to do it, but her two young kids have turned her brain to mashed potatoes and she has no free time. I just slept off my overnight shift (day is night, night is day) and I dreamt that I made some baby clothes for a friend of mine. Unless she wants a baby straitjacket I think that's probably not in my current skill set.

! I don't think we scare them until Oz brings out the sausage stuffer and golf bag...just saying!

WELCOME TO ALL THE NEWBIES......I AM SO BEHIND ON THE THREAD!

Yes of course and welcome!

A lot of us are not retired yet and some are still quite young. I am counting the time I have left until retirement... I can't wait but it will still be six plus years....

Oz, a donkey wont fit in your golf bag

What a picture!!

What a picture!!

I replied elsewhere that goats will - as frozen embryos. I just dont have donor animals for a donkey embryo.

While you guys laugh at me, I have been thinking...................maybe a horse could carry it.

 

[drumstick diva]

aw gee I was always hoping somebody would send me one of those extra long sleeved 'leisure suits' for xmas. It would keep me from overeating and biting my nails.

Oz a horse could definitely be a surrogate. The only way you get mules is to cross a horse and a donkey. Mules are actually sterile.

Have you sat on Santa's lap and asked him nicely?
