Welcome aboard

only animal left for me is my horse.... but I look forward to cranking up my big fish tank and adopting another dog or three in time.... and of course restarting my flock....

Wow you are new? I am sorry I must have missed your intro...... LOL.... Welcome

Had to smile at the fish tank comment - not even fully unpacked and settled into this house (mostly DH's crap that isn't unpacked yet - so that's not really on me, lol) and I keep finding myself looking at listings for tanks and checking out all the area fish stores, just itching to get one up and running again......and don't get me started on the amount of time I've spent drooling over the fall chicks in the local feed stores.....

Oh, sure, pull up a chair. There are a few seats reserved for some really special folks that don't show up very often (y'all know who you are!) but there's always room for new old folks here.

You mentioned the cat in the middle of the list - it might top the "pain" list if it had done what mine did to me yesterday. I've had a cold, so I was dozing on the couch, and this stupid beast jumped right on my face on his way to the back of the couch. I am now sporting a 1/2-inch long scratch down the side of my nose . . . talk about a rude awakening! He's really a sweet cat, wouldn't hurt me deliberately, but look where you're going you stupid animal!!

OUCH!!!!!!! Those are the worst, somehow those accidental injuries are often worse than the ones they do on purpose. Definitely a rude awakening!!!

BTW Walmart used to have gift cards in the shape,color etc. of a piece of coal. I thought it was hysterical, I gave one to each bus driver and the dispatchers - they did not seem amused. Yes, I also kept a couple to have activated for other people later. Plus one card that I used up, I kept just because it was so darn cute.

- sounds like they lacked a sense of humor.

Hello all, I was lurking on your thread....can I come over and play? Winters coming on in northern Illinois where I am. Kids are all grown up and out of the house and winter is a lonely time. Its just me, 4 dogs, 18 chickens, a cat, chinchilla and tropical fish. Animals listed in order of how big a pain they are. Cat, chinchilla and fish were the kids...kids left but the animals stayed - no fair!
Wishing everyone a great day

Hey, to be fair, that sounds like getting the better end of the stick to me -- BTDT when my eldest left for college and I found myself left with her horse....she did take her cat, though. Glad you've joined in the fun here!

Good morning! Wet drizzly day outside, so guess it's a day to get things done inside for me. Probably a good thing I have one sister coming for an overnight next weekend (she'll be en route from HI to MT) and another that will be coming at some point in the hopefully near future to spend a month recovering from a kidney transplant (she lives outside the "one hour" limit from the hospital) -- might be a good time to think about getting a guest room set up here, lol.

Yep Aquarium enthusiast here.... I have a 110 waiting in my carport at home..... They are like a big picture window and as satisfying as watching a fireplace.... IN my last house I had about three hundred gallons of various aquarium setups Mostly vivariums and support tanks.

I want to raise up some Tilapia eventually to send the fry out to some big tanks to be setup in the greenhouse room. But once I get those going the tank is going back to a community tank. I am an odd bird. Last setup I had was a commmunity tank... with a school of Neon Tetras, Rasbora, Angel fish and a plecostomus the size of a bedroom slipper.... Odd fish too .... geophagus jurpari, upside down cats, Banjo cats, leaf fish....

Mature Neon tetras get to be over an inch long....

Morning Alaskan bet you are surprised to see me so early in the day. Had to get up early to run an errand, so now I can go back to sleep.

 

[Bunnylady]

Night-night, Diva.

 

[Alaskan]

I got up way to early... So went back to sleep...then woke up late.




Too many things to do today... Makes me want to punch a wall then go back to bed.

Whatever... At least the kids are in good spirits..... I can direct and manage and delegate... I can, I can

Alaskan  found something new in the grocery store     Betty Crocker now has  MINT, chocolate brownie mix.  For some reason I felt compelled to buy it. Too hot to  use the oven  right now.

I just dunno......


Might be great, and might be horrid.

Tell me what you think when you try it.

 

[Bunnylady]

Yeah. I like Peppermint Patties, and mint chocolate chip ice cream, but those mint flavored chocolate chips that came out at Christmas? No, thanks.
