Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

[TurtlePowerTrav]

Yay! Yay! Yay! I found a friend who has lost quite a few chickens to predators lately and she's going to buy ***5*** of my chicks and some brooder equipment tomorrow! Hooray! I think Lucy will be much happier with 3 chicks. She's overwhelmed now. And that means I can use my next broody to get 1-2 sex link laying machines and be done for quite a while. I'm glad this worked out with my friend!

I will believe it when I see it

Wondering...is my broody likely to be agitated when we take 5/8 of her chicks away tomorrow, or will she just be happy she still has some? I just want to know how to go about taking them without freaking her out too badly. I plan to do it quickly and take them in the house right away so she doesn't hear them peeping in the box and get upset. Sound fine?

I could be wrong, but doesn't the cone have to open to spill the seeds b4 they can take root?

Rainmom, Really glad you were able to get your shed. Hope you can find a chain saw to use and get the rest of your wood

.

Well, went to go and get coffee this morning and saw that there were two newly broken windows on our front house

. I think this time it was just punk kids having fun

. Man I wish we stayed up late, we would have heard that glass break. I can't wait to move out of here and not have to deal with people around here any more.
On that note, DH is going to the Realtors office today to fill out the paperwork and put in our offer for the house!!!!! How exciting

I can't wait to find out if they like the offer

. They have the house listed for a whopping $279,000. but with all the stuff that needs to be done to be and the fact that no one else has put an offer on the place really gives me high hopes

! I need every one to WILL IT to be mine (Lethal Weapon movies) so we all can have a great move in party there! Every one can be like

with a bit of

and probably some

In more unhappy news, my Great Dane Jazz, momma's boy, sweetest soul, my side kick and my baby is going through something and I think I will have to take him into the vet. For the last week and a half he has not wanted to eat. He goes through fazes of this some times, mostly if I start working and he is mad at me or if he is being doggy sat at some one Else's house then he has to be hand fed or wont eat. So we have cheep canned gravy to put in his food when he does this. But this time he has no reason from me to not be eating. So I put the gravy in his food yesterday and he ate it all. I did not feed him last night so he would be hungry in the morning. I set out his food and he would not eat so I put gravy in it and he took a few bites but refused to eat any more. Then I noticed that when he was laying down his body would quiver when he in hailed. I called him over to me and he continued to shake. I think he needs blood work done because his gums are a bit pale also. I am so worried. I can not lose this dog, I just can not. I will be taking him in, but I am scared because I don't want them to tell me that some thing is really really wrong with him. Great Danes only live between 7-10 years and that is generally with great breading lines. Jazz was from a whoops litter. The woman bought two danes with in days of each other and (supposedly) was told that the female was already fixed. But by the time she got the two dogs in for their first vet check the female was already pregnant. Jazz will be 5 this year. I am so worried!

Wishin you the best for your Puppy Pal!

Thought some of you with kids might like this recipe. It's not Paleo, but can be modified. My kids LOVE Porcuppines.

PORCUPINE MEAT BALLS

½ c. rice, soaked in cold water 1 – 1 ½ hr.
1 lb. hamburger
½ c. bread crumbs
1 tbsp. minced onion
1 tsp. chopped parsley
1 tsp. salt
¼ tsp. pepper
1 can tomato soup
1 can water

Soaking the rice insures it will be cooked.
Mix all ingredients together, except soup and water.
Make into 9 meatballs (about 2 ¼” each)
Place in covered casserole to bake or frying pan to cook on stovetop.
Mix together soup and can of water. Pour over meatballs.
Bake at 375° for 1 hr. or cook on stove for same length of time.

I loved those when I was a kid. I don't use a recipe, I just mix hamburger with chopped onions, egg, and leftover rice, and put the meat in muffins tins, or make balls like your instructions. I cover with ketchup or barbeque sauce that "carmelizes" when it cooks. My mom added worchesterchire sauce to hers, I do't because it's not GF.

Fenwick, my all time favorite surf rod. Use mine for many, many years and then my fishing buddy inherited both of them. Jack is gone now, but I certainly hope that his son got them and is as avid a surf fisherman that his dad was.

If it was made in the late 70's I probably made it.

. I once made one for Pres. Carter.
