I just want a vegetarian or vegan cookbook that doesn't use onions in all the food. As far as I can tell, I may have be the person that writes the book in the end.

I hope you find a cookbook that is just recipes.

That's what I told my friend today. I think I'm going to have to scour books and the web for recipes and write my own book. I can save it to my Kindle so I can carry it with me to shop.

OMG! Migraine - coming on fast. I have to lead an entire Pack of boys this evening. My husband won't be there to help me, either. The other Den leaders will be gone because their school has a parent orientation. I feel like

Hello~~ I just joined here yesterday and someone in my introduction thread pointed me this way.

I'm a bit floored by the over 8000 pages in this thread, so please excuse me if I don't read the entire thing.

Although I grew up in SE Michigan, I have lived in WA for the better part of 5 years now and I consider this to be my permanent home. I moved out this way when I was just shy of 20 to live with my (then) boyfriend. We've since gotten engaged and worked our way up to buying our first home. :> It's all in the process right now. Hence why I decided to join here, I'd sure like to have my own small flock of chickens.

welcome, this is a great thread with plenty of knowledge.

hey JB are you going to the auction this sat? maybe we can hook up?

send me a pm if your up for it

I was planning to drop off some of the bunnies, chickens, and a couple of cages of finches at the auction Saturday. I would love to hook up with you and any of the rest of the group. As long as I don't get a buyers pass, I should be safe.  I am hoping to get to the auction by about 9 am, but that's just the plan at the moment. Do you need a ride out here from Auburn or Federal Way. I would be more than willing to do that for you. 

How'd ya guess?
I'm hoping to bring my lemon cuckoo orp for the auction and maybe his buddy the buff orp
Still not 100% on the buff being a boy but I think it is sigh....

Yeah they were fine after that day but John was quite concerned that night until I told him that some animals die naturally, some animals die because we kill them to eat them, and some have accidents just like people and die before they "should" have. He was fine. Just told me it looked scary seeing it floating in the water dead. Hasn't talked about it since then though!
That is good to know. I did have some worries about what the boys reaction to the events. I also felt fairly certain that the kids were going to be able to understand what was going on that day. It sounds like you gave him a excellent explanation of the realities of having animals, and what can happen to them. I do know though, if I had realized that the bird was there, I would have gotten rid of it before anyone was here. It wasn't fun having to take care of it, and of course it happened on a weekend when my DH wasn't around. DH normally handles the really gross stuff around here. But I am getting tougher in my old age. I think that the dogs had been chasing the chickens earlier that morning, and that the one bird jumped up on to the barrel to get away and then fell in. So I am blaming the nasty little dogs around here.

I have found that for me fairly high doses of vitamin D makes all the difference in the world. I had thought that for years, I was just sad at that time of the year because it happens around the anniversaries of my daughter's life and death. Then I tried the vitamin D, and found that I had very little sadness during the winter months. So far it's the only supplement that I know has made a real difference in my life. I would start with 5000 mg for the first week or so, then drop back to 2000 a day. You can develop a toxicity to vitamin D so you need to read up on it. I just know what has been more than safe and effective for myself, and my DD.

I have been on vitamin D for a couple of years, 5000 mg 1x day. It's part of the 'cocktail' I was talking about LOL. I was extremely deficient when I first started, November of 2009, I think, and then when tested in 2011 I was still deficient. Crazy.

My BF and I are off to Lake Snoqualmie until Saturday or Sunday! When we return, it'll be time to start on the new coop! I hope everyone has a great clucking time until then!

I hope that you both have a great weekend. Have fun for us.

They need to watch Patch Adams. Get a bit of reality.

After a few years in Seattle, my husband started having problems with depression (SAD) every winter. We bought him a light box, and he's done much better each winter. He can really feel the difference if he forgets to use the box in the morning. The light boxes are kind of pricey, but his has lasted for more than 3 years and we haven't had to change bulbs or anything.
