Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

I'm here in Belfair, if that's not too far. I have some speckled susex x plymouth rock, speckled susex x buff orpington, and plymouth rock x salmon faverole. Ages are from just about a month old up to just about to lay. I have both cockerels and pullets.

Anyone in Olympia/South Sound area have a few pullets they're interested in parting with?  My mom just finished her garden coop and is trying to figure out what chickens to put in it. 

Okay, the last post I made was to you.

I take lots & lots of supplements.
I have Celiac Disease, Livido reticularis, Sjoren's, Hashimoto's, Raynaud's....and have skin involvement from time to time like Drema graphia...and localized sudden onset scalding (as if someone had tossed boiling oil on me!) which can heal almost as fast as it erupts, and then sometimes (rarely) I can wake up to a discoid rash...(at first I could not figure out how I could have 'caught' ring worm all over my entire body ????)
These discoid rashes each occured after a trauma, like when I fell/slipped & tore my knee out...
Putting 1 + 1 together is still pointing at Lupus...but I have yet to go get tested.
I am at a doc's or hospital like 1 X a week and I am sick of it.
Next time I guess I get the ANA test for that.
I have not looked it up enough to know if the disease goes undetected if it is not in 'flare'...so if it is unactive (dormant) I may not have antibodies to it ?
Not sure.

Getting old is not for sissies.

Meniere's Disease here. It's been knocking me on my *** - literally - most of this year. Injured my shoulder. Physical therapy told me I should be using a walker. F-that! LOL! I am using trekking poles now. Sometimes, when I'm out and about, some ignorant .... person... jokes about me using "ski poles" at the mall or whatever. I've decided that the next one to do that (They always tend to be white men in their 50's or 60's. What's up with that?) Anyhow, the next one who thinks that's funny is going to get an ear-full.

Heck, just switch them with the ski poles and let them see that they are dual purpose,lol.

Most people do act incredibly rude to just about anyone with any disability !
You do have to admit: seeing someone on dry ground using ski poles would draw attention ! However, I would not be rude & comment to the person about it !
I got my fill of rude people of every walk of life, when DH dove off a 2nd story roof & ended up in a wheel shair.
I cannot still believe how rude people are to those in a wheel chair !
Especially in a line, at an event or grocery store, others would literally step in front of DH so close as to have their butts right in his face, over & over, people just do not seem to see people with disabilities ! Even cutting in front while he was struggling to get in a store door, and then they'd let the door slam on him, and never once did any of them make eye contact, and ask him if he needed help, or simply hold the door open for him.
I was blown away by our society's rudeness to those with disabilities !T THE ELDERLY ROUTINELY ARE MADE FUN OFF AND EVEN TOMENTED BY TEEN AGE BOYS, HOMELESS AND MENTALLY IL ARE LIKEWISE TORMENTED & POKED AT.
I have no idea why you would be laughed at primarily by white men of that age ?
Seems odd...but who knows what goes on in other's minds ?
Meniere's is awful ! I had a firned in Idaho, years ago that had it, and for days he would "spin" and be so sick to be unable to eat, or walk or drive, and have to stay in bed...vomiting from the spinning.
It is awful !!!
I feel for you !

I agree about the isms people seem to have. A woman being eight months plus pregnant, on to anyone with a disability should be helped, loved, and cared for. People shouldn't judge a person's value by the physical appearance.

GO HAWKS!!!!!

I think the ball game is in the bag. I hope this year's team rocks it all the way again....perhaps with maybe one or two fewer flags?

Don't people teach manners anymore? I always hold the door open for anyone behind me. If someone looks like they need help with something I ask if I can help. My husband is the same way. He also has those old fashioned southern manners.

We were pulling into the Ivars and I saw an elderly lady sitting on the ground with a bit younger lady with her. Several people just walked by them ignoring them. I watched and saw them struggling to get the one up. After we parked I told Mike what I saw since he didnt while driving. I went and asked them if they needed any help and they seemed relieved. She had stumbled on the curb and fell. They had been trying to get her up for a bit. Mike actually picked her up since he's much stronger than me.

It made me mad that no one else even spoke to them.
