The Old Folks Home

I don't collect yet, but saw it on their website. That's awesome for those of you that do.


I'm holding out for 64-1/2, close to a year and a half away.

We are waiting too, hope it works out.

I do not allow birds in house Old Folks.

I hatch back in the project room (spare bedroom) and then move the chicks to brooders in the garage. Too much dander in the house if they stayed inside. Chicken dust is the worst....

Good morning Old Folks,
As a kid we more likely to have calf in the house
to bottle feed.
There is dust in the banty coop they still have shavings,
That is the only coop with a floor.

Yesterday evening, I burned the top of my fingers pretty good. I went to the doctor this morning, NOT because the burn was so bad, but because I need Silvadene, and it's prescription only. All that for a stupid burn cream.

Dh got 2 of the 3 Sweeter Heaters hung today. He'll get the last one up tomorrow. Then we'll be ready for winter.

I hope we don't need heat before mid December and then not much. We will have the thermostat set on 65° and that makes sleeping a lot easier and the electric bill is a lot easier on the wallet.

Oh good grief!

Stuff like that, needing a prescription for burn cream, I do not understand!

Sorry you burnt yourself. Burns always take longer to heal than I would like.

But... but... you're in central Florida...? Do you heat your coop?

I'll be 62 in February. I'm taking SS as soon as I'm able. Here's why.

I asked the "IRA guy" we had at work whether I should take SS as soon as I'm eligible, or wait for the higher amount. He told me that the SSA has never taken benefits away from someone once they start getting them. But they have pushed back the eligible age to start receiving them.

Depending on how much I get per month, we'll reduce the amount we take from IRAs by as much or nearly so.

DH is 11 months younger than I, so he'll start in the following January.

Hang onto that stuff. It'll be gold this winter when some people's chickens get frostbitten!
