The Old Folks Home

Our governor is trying to introduce a bill so that doctors can only write a 3 day supply of pain meds. That's his idiotic answer to the war on opioids. That's suppose to fix everything. Vote for me.

All the old folks in Florida will riot! That is crazy! Who is going to run to the pharmacy every 3 days?

Have been after husband to let me put them in the ground but he wants to wait until the slackers finish the goat shed. Ugh!

So why can't you plant them before the slackers finish the shed? Seems like different people would be doing different tasks.

We really should get a freezer. Maybe we could put it in the crawl space.

Is a crawl space that has enough headroom for a freezer REALLY a crawl space??

I hope you enjoyed a nice hot shower this morning!

She may have still been in the shower when you posted

Y'all are saying all this great stuff about ducks and I'm like sitting here with my eyes clamped shut, fingers in my ears going Lalalalalalalalalalalalalalal.........

Yeah, when I saw that scene on TV where the 'sexer' was sitting pulling chicks out of a brooder, turning their little bottoms up, check, if it was a pullet it went into another brooder. If it was a cockerel, he casually tossed the poor little thing over his shoulder by a leg into this big funnel with the voice over talking about the 'grinder'..... shudder. I let out a little strangled scream and told my husband that those innocent little cockerels had just struggled their way into the world and he....he... Poor husband just signed and said..no, you cannot adopt them all.

It was a pretty traumatic thing for a rooster lover to see.

Speaking of cull roosters. DH was standing looking at my 25 odd bantam cockerels I have and he absently said. You really need to cull some of these boys.....all the while he is biting off pieces of apple from one he is eating and sharing it with the hopeful little beaked faces that are watching him. I usually just say that I'm not hungry enough to eat one of my roosters but if I had to I could. He then points at one and asks me what his name is. "Indy" I'll respond. He will point to another. "C.C." I'll say. "Maybe this one?" he'll point out one near the fence. "Oh, no, not that one. That's Lord Percival! He's special!" By this point in time, DH is rolling his eyes and asking me why he is special. "He's a Pea comb!" I proclaim. "He's going to father lots of pea combed chicks for me so I don't have to worry about frost bite any more!"

At this point in time DH will remind me not to name them if I have to eat them but I have all of them named......He stops, shakes his head and retreats to the house without another word.

Smart man my husband.

...that's awesome!!

I hear ya Penny.

I'm having to buy my RX pain medicine out of pocket because my insurance will only pay for 28 per month.

Ibuprofen is hard on your heart. Tylenol your liver and kidneys. Aspirin will eat a hole in your stomach. I told my doctor that if it would control my joint and back pain I'd strip nekkid, paint myself purple, stand on a hill, sling a dead chicken over my head and sing 'Yankee Doodle" at the top of my lungs. I had the chicken and a big bottle of blue coat that sorta looks purple when it gets on your skin so I was set.

He said he didn't think it would come to that. That's a shame. I was going to have DH film it and send it to my insurance company with a letter stating that having tried all NSAIDs available and resorting to VooDoo without proper pain control could I PLEASE have my Ultram now?

I doubt if it would have helped.

Ibuprofen is hard on your heart?? I thought it was hard on the stomach.

Tylenol could be the culprit if person's liver enzyme's are up?

Our space under the house goes from like 2.5 feet to about 6 feet , sloping. So you walk or crawl depending on what part you are in.
Husband figured the slackers will crush the holly bushes since the bushes are small and they put things all over the place.

Turkey are the only birds I did make any money on. I did raise 2 broad breasted that we ate. The rest I sold or sold the poult's or eggs. I only got what the hatcheries charged for my poult's. I did not charge a lot for any of the birds I sold really. Pretty reasonable compared to most. But the turkey I raised to sell or sell the poult's I handled and made them very friendly so people could handle them easily. I taught them to come when I wiggled my fingers and they loved getting their bellies rubbed! lol
To me they were more fun and very smart! I had one trained to ride my wagon and another to walk on with a harness.

Turkey eggs, like Royal Palm, can sell for $140/dozen this spring. Bronze riddley? sold for $70/dozen. I think they seem to sell well here as well.
