Yes, I have 10 Cornish Crosses, . . . They will be ready March 18... Cant wait to taste them. I have heard they are so yummy.

Oh yeah Baby (a la Mike Meyers - the Spy Who Shagged me), love those Cornish. You will too. This will be our third bunch (if we get some this year). I have ONE left in the freezer, I'm saving for something special. I like to bone and stuff them (that way I get to use the carcass BEFORE the chicken is cooked).

Of course you know you can NEVER eat Store bought again!

I've got left-over pot roast from last night . . . Must go find a sharp knife, I guess. Give me some advantage over the tricky bits I ignored last night.

Watch out SF, I was boning a little pork leg tonight and suddenly there was blood everywhere. Thought I'd cut my finger off, but turns out hubby had left a vein in on butchering piglets this weekend. Trouble with sharp knives is you never feel it!

May I ask what kind of cow's you raise Stumpfarmer?

Today is my day off - I went and got my hair cut and the roots colored to hide the grey. DS just got home from school, and he paid me a compliment, but then he did not shut his mouth in time.

"Mom, I like your hair, now the only part of you that looks old is your skin."

Good grief, I almost back-handed that boy! But I can't risk another day like yesterday. I should have just stayed in bed. I discovered DD had lied about her homework, so I made her do it before school, and then drove her in late and would not sign the parental excuse log so she will have to deal with whatever punishment they hand out to kids that are 30 minutes late to school. Well, that made my 40 minutes late to work. Iuckily I had no one scheduled till 10.

A short time later, before my client showed, I was called by the school vice principal that I needed to pick up Alex as he was being suspended for pounding a kid who'se been teasing him. He also wanted a meeting with me. I found someone to take care of my clients and then went to the school. The VP said the boys torment Alex nearly every day because they get a kick out of him getting angry.The two boys are also special needs, though not autistic, more like neglected. Alex had enough of it, his fuse has been really short since I have been working late. He whopped one of the kids on the head. Our homework assignment was to write a page on phsiological responses he feels before he explodes.

Raced backt to work for my 1:30 who was a no-show. Nearly cried over the awful bind another client was in. Got an angry call from the father of a married teen whose father had wanted to claim her, and waited until 9:30 for my 9pm; another no-show.

I should have just slept through the day.

Oh my gosh you really did have a day. So what did the VP do to the two boys who did that to your son? I bet nothing right?

True BUT they are judging based on information provided which is (supposed to be) the facts. Then they are forming an opinion based on what they have seen.

Not quite so fast and easy.
and to demonstrate that lets use incubating /hatching.
one person may do a dry method and have good luck the next may do 75% humidity and have the same hatch rate as the first person. So WHO IS RIGHT AND WHO IS WRONG ? ? ? ? Neither one because they are both using the method that works for them. IT IS NOT SO CUT AND DRY !

Based on a recent post by you I think I understand your taking exception to my post. No I will not reveal that post. It is not necessary to go there. See contrary to what some believe. I try not to hurt feelings or make personal attacks.

Snuffing your wife, Axing your kids & blowing up the house is neither depression...it is criminal (pscyotic) and selfish (he did not want those boys to talk ! they were trailtors ! They were witnesses !
And NOTHING in his life gave him reason to do what he did to his wife, not his babies !!!
I am a Democrat, I vote & I serve jury duty....and that is all I wanna say here !

. . . and to think he took a hatchet to them BEFORE the blast, that means RIGHT AFTER the boys walked in the house...the social worker's call had not yet gone through & those beautiful babies were already gone...
HOW can you hack your kids ?
Or anyone else's kids ?
The whole issue makes me sick !
Depression does not make a person this way !

That is so horrible, I hadn't read that part. Makes me cringe to think about it. Some real sicko, like Manson.

On another note, hear you may be coming my way real soon?!?!?!? Got a rower sitting around someplace, and some wine needs tasting. . . (he he!)

After an explosion like that, I hope he is honest & says IT FEELS SO GOOD !!!!!!!!!!
Most kids tormented get tormented their entire lives & some commit suicide due to teasing & bullying............I would be glad Alex can handle it.

We are going south to Cloverleaf tomorrow !

I think I may become a vegetarian - just the thought of hacking things makes me feel ill.

Not to mention the smell of the piglet I just packaged made me want to puke. The thing is, they weren't bad or anything, it's like I felt when I was pregnant. Couldn't eat meat at all, all I could eat was calamari (little smell).

Maybe switch to an egg diet. They don't smell to much.

Anyone know if there is a disease where everything smells bad?

HEHE I am excited but sooooo nervous about butchering. I hope I don't do something wrong but I have read a lot and youtube has become my best friend. I think the hardest part for me will be taking a life. But its all part of life. My husband and I are trying very hard to be less reliant on store's. We hope to someday grow most of our own food. I guess that's the main reason we got chickens in the first place. Can't wait until I get a true farm so I can get a cow n a piggy or two as well. Fresh eggs are the best. My 2 year old wont eat anything but "chicken eggs". LOL if you cook him store bought eggs he wont eat them. I am hoping the broilers are the same. I only have 10 so for a family my family of 5 I dont think they will last to long in my freezer.
