The Old Folks Home

[chickisoup]

I am officially a senior citizen today.

But most places have been giving me the senior discount for a while.

Welcome to the club!!! Hope you enjoy many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many more!!!

I figured when I was a little older - In my twenties perhaps, that I would try to rekindle the relationship, but we're just so distant now. I don't hate them, I don't know, they're not a bad person is what I'm trying to say. Just not the warmest.

I disowned my older sister 30 years ago. For all intents and purposes she doesn't exist. I disowned my parents & youngest brother maybe 3 years ago, my dad died 2 years ago, that brother died a year ago. I no longer have anything to do with my youngest daughter because I got tired of the constant drama and constant strife. All have had multiple shots at redemption and I just don't have the time or energy, nor the inclination to deal with any of them. I don't wish bad on any of them, I just want nothing more to do with them. I dedicate myself to maintaining close relationships with my other 2 kids and my grandkids. They are my legacy.

Some folks just aren't as "emotional" as others. Might make them seem "cold" but it isn't necessarily so. I'm not a big huggy/kissy/emotional person... I guess what I'm trying to say is if it's a relationship you'd like to maintain, then you'll do your best to maintain it. If the relationship isn't reciprocated, then you have 2 choices... continue one sided, or walk away and move on. I'm rambling.

No you're not rambling, I appreciate you sharing your opinion

Yes it is. And I am 55 today. My Dh told me last night that I was officially a senior citizen today. lol So I guess I am. lol

Happy Birthday, Chicka! (being an "Old Folk" has it's advantages, and beats the alternative!!)

Got a few pics of the new water system:






Moved the drain plug outside the coop, opened a hole at the floor to drain spillage, moved the nipple station to the outside wall of the coop for less affected area and gained a few gallons of volume. I now have about 8 gallons of water reserve. Hoping this will eliminate the water/mud puddle under the drink station.

I moved the cornish x chicks outside to the coop. It's 100* here and they are panting. But they are in the coop where it is cooler than outside. And one of my Maran girls wanted in with them so I will be watching to see if she mothers them.

In that tote is the Buckeye hen on two eggs again! She won't give up! Maybe she will adopt these chicks!

Really? I wake up and randomly over the night hairs have sprung up on my chin. Long, wirey. They were not there the day before.
