I cannot go through all posts,
DH is leaving in the wee hours, and ODOT (Oregon dept ofTrans) says snow showers all day tomorrow. I looked earlier and the travel cams on the Siskiyous showed 2 lanes (there is only 2 lanes) of semis, bumper to bumper parked,northbound, and nothing south bound....did not look good.
Anyway tomorrow looks OK...snow and snow showers is OK to drive in, the freezing rain he encountered from Weed to Eugene and again through Portland on the trip last winter was horrible...I-5 a sheet of glass through 3 states.
Snow is OK.

So he will get home tomorrow night.
Then T is going to be here Friday when ?
We will be here, just call.
At least your hat will be here too.
May be buried in a van full of boxes....but we will find it.
My "flu" continues but I think it is the seasonal stress...yikes I hate the holidaze !!!
hide.gif

I get hit with it everytime no matter who I speak to or where I am. And the bad part is I argue back, instead of letting it go.
That starts the war and constantly defending myself.
I am currently the big bad (the word that rymes with witch) cuz I sat here all throughout the holidays and never showed up at the dinner in Puyallup cus I had to "stay here with my stupid chickens and I need to get rid of them cus life is passing me by" according to my sis.
I am tired of telling them the chickens have nothing to do with my having to stay here, I stay here cuz I have no car DUH!!!!!!!!!!!
I am so sick of chicken attacks !!!
I have 19 chickens and my entire family thinks that is tying me here to this property.
It all started when, 2 days after the dreaded Christmas dinner I asked via e-mail if everyone had a good time and I sincerely wanted to the details: was there roast or ham ? Please tell me the story...what I got back was venom, as in if you wanted to be with your family instead of staying home with you G** Da*** chickens then you should have been here but you weren't, you love those G**** birds more than us so don't come looking to talk to me about...it went on and on...viscious.
If I did have a car, (and my sis knows I gave to my daughter cuz hers got repossed and my daughter also called and b***hed me out and called me names and selfish after she just cashed the $150 Christmas gift check...and sold my car for $800 after a full engine rebuild of over $1200 and new water pump, tires were over $800, heater core, everything but paint !!) so I am selfish ??
But I swear if I still had my car I most generously rebuilt and gave to my daughter, I would have drove to Puyallup and beat up my sister just like I did when I was 11.

So sis knows she is safe for the moment and says if I wasn't such an idiot and gave my car to my whiney looser daughter than I would have been able to show up so don't come b****g at me about what we had for Chritsmas dinner....EI YEI YEI YEI !!!!
It is funny, huh ?
Then DH is at his Dad's in Northern California...and gota call from his cousins in San Diego, and his Dad's brother with bad Parkinson's disease and Aunt with TIA's (ministrokes) has flown to dan Diego for Chritsmas, wheelchair, drooling diapers and all....and during dinner a distant cousin's dog threw up on thier carpet and the man of the house married to DH's cousin said "I am gonna kill that dog if it barfs or eats one more" Bam ! The niece hit him in the head with a wine bottle and cracked his skull open, and head wounds bleed !!!
DH thinks this is hysterical, but he was in Nor Cal they were in San Diego...
So after he (the cousin's husband) got up off the floor he promptly jumped over the Christmas dinner table and grabbed the 20 year old niece and gave her a right hook to rival Mohammud Ali....Ahh! What a great Christmas !!!
ya.gif

She has a black eye, and he had to go to the ER for stitches , and the wife, DH's cousin, left in a great huff, out of her own home, screaming at all the ""Guests"" and took her sick dad and mom to the RV outside, and drove straight away from San Diego to Clear Lake in Northern California. Quite a few hours. She is FUMING ticked. I am tired of everyone venting on me. DH thinks it is all hysterical..
lau.gif
.but I get it stuck in my crop and do get snapping, and I greatly apologize to anyone I may have snapped at.
Including Illia.
DH's Dad is the older and does not drive so he is worried that the cousin is going to dump the sick brother and wife on him, and it is a 3 hour drive to the Sacramento Airport...then DH figured it out::: They were coming up to hitch a ride with him back to WA..
ep.gif
.and they live in Spokane. Oh well, they are old and have need for our help, so ??
But apparently the cousin is staying with them and returning to San Diego and dropping her parents off at the Sac airport on the way south....
th.gif

Can someone please explain to me why we as a family can get together for DAYS, weeks apart, and see each other every weekend, and camp, party, fish whatever with each other, but at Chritsmas,

I am hiding during the holidays.

OMG, CL, I will never complain about my family again. You win.

I am so sorry....I don't care who a person is....no one deserves to be treated that way. Your family does not appreciate you. We at BYC do though.

I already suggested the seed trade, is there anyone ready to trade ???
I know a few old timers told me last spring they wanted nasty seed....

Well, I have nothing to TRADE as I don't save seed but might be an option for next year for a few crops. I usually plant 2 consecutive crops in each bed so nothing matures enough to be able to save seed from. Purchased seeds I usually don't have extra of since I use them all. I buy seed that lasts a few years in bulk and use several years in a row till gone and purchase only the allium seeds I need for one season since they tend to lose viability after a year. Maybe can save a few lettuce seeds if the plants are at the ends of the beds out of the way. Possibly some peppers and tomatoes.

Arugula and mustard saves well, as does dill, beans and peas, radish and tomatoes as long as it is not a hybred, squash, pumpkin and small stuff like cress.

I am so sorry I was snippy at some of you. And honestly, usually my family is wonderful, buy hey, usually I was in Idaho, and then went to California to take care of 94 yo Grandma down there by herself....so I admit maybe my 'ideai of my family was exactly that.
An idea of what I wanted it to be.
Slap in the face here. But on second hand, I do not recall any doo doo like the wine bottle incident happening in DH's family as long as we have been together either...is it just the stress of times ? Or disrespect ?
I wanna crawl in a cave.
 
Ya Chickylady, So sorry, been going over posts and responding accordingly and just read your 'family' post. First it reminds me of those Christmas comedy movies so I have to admit I laughed, especially with the getting hit with a wine bottle then climbing over the table for a swing. But in real life and real families it's not so funny. So sorry for the Holidays. Don't know what gets in to people. Hope hubby gets home safe and you guys can maybe laugh about it all. Thanks for sharing with your BYC family.

I have to add to my venting about my neighbor and the hubbys bon fire drinking. Need to say I got the other side of the story today and feel kind of bad. Long story but there was drama on both sides resulting in neighbors wife up and leaving the whole family including her hubbys mother who flew in from New Mexico to take a 2 day breather at a hotel. It was either that or the mental hospital. Ha, I laughed when she told me everything because of the one side I heard first. I'm totally on her side now. Just told her to call me next time. I'll go with her. OK, thats it, Just needed to come clean.
 
the last photo, of the French Blue Copper marans, are for sale, as are a whole bunch of baby chicks !!!

Sometimes (and I thought about it when you posted) the Dear man has issues...and maybe has a past of getting wasted and face planting and requiring sutures and new glasses...awww, but God protects drunks.(but he does not pay the hospital bills for the drunks !)..nonethe less I have to admit, staying sober and on red alert at all times has aged me , and I am so very tired of it.

Don't worry, you are fine. No one is mad at you here. And spring is coming, sunshine and growing things always makes people see things differently. I don't do well with my sister either. We don't fight but just two very different people. We don't talk much only because we have nothing in common so have nothing to say.
Most people who don't have chickens don't understand anyway. Makes no difference that you didn't have a car. Maybe they are just jealous because you have something in your life you enjoy and they don't so they look for reasons to try and diminish that for you. I have ideas of what a perfect family is but so far hasn't happened. All we can do is try and hope and then enjoy our chickens!
