That is EXACATLY how it is at my house! I'm outside doing yard work for many hours per day. DH will do one project for me per weekend, and that "project" will rarely take more than 45 minutes to do. Some of the projects he does well, but quite a few are so rickety (the bench in my greenhouse!) that I need to do them all over again! I asked him to drill a hole in the side of my chicken coop so I could pull an extension cord into it. I showed him exactly where I wanted it, a few inches above the coop floor so I could tuck thecord out of sight. Well, he drilled the hole through at about 4' inside, or 5' on the outside so there is a big ugly cord hanging out of the coop, not hidden as I wanted. I asked why he put it there instead of where I wanted it "Because it was easy to reach!" Same thing dinner wise then. If someone needs to run to the store for something, it is not him because he is sore from whatever project he did for me! Grrrr. At least he carries the bags of feed up to the coop for mme and his salary is decent, I wish decent enough for hired help, but that is rather my fault. If we had stayed in Woodinville we would not have had a huge mortgage from building a new house, and I likely still would have been working at my job.

Thanks for the info! They are growing in my greenhouse/chicken run (with the cochins as they don't fly up to the benches and haging baskets to eat my produce). The egg plants have been producing flowers for months, but they are not being fertilized as I have no fruit, but the tomatillos are full of pretty lanterns, some of them are pretty big!

Where do you get ground cherry plants? Do you need to start from seed, or can you purchase starts? Would they do ok in a hot frame, or other cover? What type of light do they require? If not full sun then I cant grow them here... All, well 90% of my shade has been given to the chickens... They sound quite interesting though!

if you tell us.......

I'm thinking T-Hi is suddently posting and she knows CR's secret, and CR was waiting for the brown, but he did not say if the brown was delivering to him or to T-Hi. I'm thinking CR is responsible for getting a computer sent to T-Hi and that is the secret! Pretty Cool! Maybe I'm wrong, but that is my guess. Awesome and very thoughtful secret!

Nope Sorry but I had nothing to do with any of this just knew it was supposed to be happening. But there was another peep who offered help with a comp if that woulda been the problem. MY BYC BUDDIES ARE AWESOME.

How do people afford to smoke these days? I quit when I got pregnant with my son- no problem, made me sick- but before that I smoked a pack a day of Camel Straights. For which I paid, what, $1.20 a pack? And it's now nearly ten times that? Even smokeless is ridiculously expensive.

Wooo Hooo CR!!!!

I've been trying to get a good friend of mine to stop - she smokes nearly 2 packs a day, and she's afraid her home will be forclosed on because she hasn't been making full-payments, and the worry makes her smoke more and drink. She can't seem to see that if she quits smoking, she won't have problems paying her motgagae!

Well I chewed the cheap stuff and it was only about 2 bucks a can. But at 1-2 cans a day it adds up.

Were you expecting a new job in Oregon? You were going to abandon us?

Nope unfortunately none of this had anything to do with employment.

Ohhhhh, he's got so much personality!!! I like him better than the other ones! Very cute!

I like this one better, too. The wire ears did nothing for me.

The one with the wire ears will be a collectors item because it was the first and last one. Unless of course somebody wants to "SPECIAL ORDER" one with wire ears. Just wait there is more to come.
