You are absolutely correct!!!
We really need to "turn the clock back" to the 60s & 70s and take more time educating our kids.
The things teachers are asked to do, and bus drivers, is NOT part of their job description. They are not babysitters.
One woman wanted her kid's underpants changed 2x a day as he still wet himself sometimes (in kindergarten) My brother's girlfriend is a K teacher and the stories she tells, especially about the OLDER set of parents having kids is horrible...these older people are in their 30s & early 40s FINALLY having their kids and not willing or realizing that they have to give up working or playing as if they were still childless, and put time into the chicld you just gave life too.
Reminds me of people who get a puppy, then get bored with it as it grows.
And the dog lives out it's life in a yard alone....

While the owners go skiing, and boating & vacationing...and WORK WORK WORK....
It is hard to spend alot of quality time with your kids, especially if you have several kids.
Getting off work & trying to get dinner going & animals fed & laundry going..whilst helping your kid's do there homework is a job in itself!!!
I am more & more for home schooling & Moms at home, everyday.

A bigger question is, exactly WHY did the fuse blow in the first place ?
You should (after this) get a wafer thermosts in there.
You can buy the whole thing on line at Randall Burkey for cheap.
feed Stores carry replacement parts.
What a bummer.
Seems like everyday has been such a trial for you!
Isn't it just light bulbs in that incubator for heat ?
I am trying to figured out why the fuse blew...
Putting a new fuse in just may blow too, unless you find out why the first fuse blew & correct the problem.

there are two 100w bulbs and a wafer and two computer fans.

Wonder why on earth it blew a fuse ?
Have you tried to simply change the lights ?
Are the fans running but no lights ?
Weird....wish I could help !

Thanks for the offer but I think I'll be okay.

I just sent DH to town to search for a new fuse. He's going to try the auto parts store first and Wally World as a last resort. I have two Styrofoam hovabators with fans that are running right along...and I went out & checked--FOUR broodies in the coop as of right now. I might also have a broody Muscovy female--or I'm hoping for one because I had someone email me and offer me some super-duper rare ducks (and hatching them under a scovy would be my best shot I think....)that said, now i need to thin out my Muscovies since I finally broke the news to DH last night that I have another breed of goose.

Here where Im at, it feels like thunderstorm weather. Warm, humid, with electricity in the air. I'm sitting here inside with my curtains closed, trying to fight off a killer migraine. Waiting for DD to take her nap, so I can follow suit. Would like to just curl up in the fetal position and pass out. But I dont see that happening any time soon. This weather is getting on my nerves, but at least with the light drizzle, most of the pollen is out of the air. the dust in my pastures has been knocked down to. So I dont have to hook the hose up to my gigantic sprinkler to ease the dust. Darn horses are hard on the ground.

Bad part is the rain keeps the ground exactly like the no-see-ums like:::warmish & wet.
We will have them until fall freezes if the ground does not dry out.

Yeah, the bulbs were the first thing I checked.

Both were okay when plugged into other sockets. The turners were still clicking/turning so it was not the power strip. The fans & lights were not working--so it's definitely a fuse? I think?

The power strip I have is a surge protector thing....but I'm wondering if losing power a few days ago is what screwed it up?

If the surge protector had blown, you would have had to reset it.
Did you reset it ?
It will not come back on unless you do.

The hospital was supposed to pick them up at this afternoon from the clinic and they are supposed to get back to me today...they close at 5:30 but I was going to call at 5pm and check...I saw my doctor while I was at the store (he was on his lunch break) and he asked how it went & if I had my results back yet. I told him about all the poking and said that I didn't know yet and he said he'd check when he got back to the office.
