It is not descriptions of us old folks, it is wisdom that has been acquired.

4. Know which drink takes you past "mellow and happy" and into "obnoxious and stupid."

Thats very similar to how many foreigners learn English. They speak accented English grammatically more correct than most native English speakers in some ways a little off .

In the Philippines you are told to "accomplish a form".

Technically correct but.....

It isn't just a matter of grammar, there are also differences in vocabulary, with a lot of the words coming from non-Spanish sources.

True, but how do you filter out the influence of German immigrants, and the fact that English was mostly German to start off with?

I'm not a linguist, but they seem to have done that.

Linguists also say that we have preserved some regional variations from different parts of the UK that are extinct in the homeland.

The part I like is that in English, the words for the animal seem to be derived from Anglo-Saxon, while the meats are derived from Norman French.

Sheep/Mutton
Cow/Beef
Hog/Pork

I have 15 eggs in the hatcher due today. There are 3 external pips.

I have 39 more eggs in the incubator with 4 different set dates. I also have 2 newly broody hens. I have some major repairs to do to the incubator, changing fans and controllers. I'm thinking of putting 2 sets of eggs under the 2 setters, put the rest in the LG for a couple days and get the repairs done.
Doing infrastructure repairs is not a simple process. The incubator cabinet has to be pulled out of the larger cabinet that includes the hatcher and most of the controls, humidity sources and wiring. The thing is huge. I made it from a shelving unit my son was throwing away and some parts I had laying around.

I would give the broodies some eggs that are close to hatching.

I modified LGs with a STC1000 digital thermostat - it turned them into very reliable styrobators.

We aren't far from the same situation.

My wife works with a girl from Ferguson. She was selling a refrigerator on Craigslist. She's had calls from all over the world saying they weren't interested in the refrigerator but wondered if she would go out and take pictures and send them. She said, I don't have time for that and I'm not going out there.
