I was picturing something like when I went to Bedrock, Arizona.

I've been living in the same house for over 45 years,  some of original families are still here.  Others have known me for 25 years or so when our kids where in Parent-tot class, pre school,  kindergarten,,.  Except for one mother who was close in age to me , the others were roughly 15 years younger than me.  I liked them but, they didn't seem to want a friendship.

I never fit in with PTA types.  Despite all the years here, I do not have one friend I could call up and go to a movie with or out to lunch etc.  The ladies on the senior bus refuse to try anything new  like  a "Talking" movie.  Just kidding.  They say all the movies stink - though they haven't seen any since Gone with the Wind. 

I had 'friends'  ? when I walked a great deal, they were in different suburbs  and friendlier than the ones in my neighborhood.  They said they wanted to walk with me - never did.

Used to have great friends when I showed dogs.  I used to trim their dogs and evaluate their litters and  give them equipment I didn't need. etc.  Some  had been like second parents to me.  When I got out of dogs,  they all unfriended me.  The "second parents," dumped me when I had my son because he was more important to me than having dogs.

The folks I know (through BYC) have been the best friends I've ever had.  I have no idea what they look like,  we will probably never meet.  But they know me better than my family. I think because they actually pay attention to what I post, as I do about them.  My family pulls the  "uh-huh" bit when I try to tell them anything - it's not worth the effort.

People say we have no friends nowadays because of computers and texting and tweeting and whatever.  But, I obviously didn't have any real friends, before computers.

I really feel a connection between  my friends here and it is important to me.  Computers and BYC have given me that.  But a lot of the folks on  here are just the right kind of people, that really do care about others.  Even though I don't know most of their real names or where they live etc.  I count them as true friends.

BYC friends are the best  

We love you too, diva!

Maddy and Draven made a video today. I tried to post it here, but was unsuccessful. It is on my chicken diary site (in my siggy) if y'all want to see it. Or if someone can figure how to link it here, that would be great!

How can I lower the humidity in my small incubator, cant get it below 60. Taking into consideration I am in the Philippines and humidity is between 60 and 80 most of the time.

My answer: short of running a dehumidifier in your house, not much you can do. I personally would not worry about it. If a broody hen was incubating the humidity would be equally as high.

That's just my opinion. Worry and change what you can, forget what you can't.

What about running AC?

Robb Jones,

There must be a Philippines thread and I'm sure Ozexpat would be on it - he incubates chickens . He posts on this thread too, you could send him a private message - if he doesn't see your post.
