Same elevation as me ... 990.

I had good friends likely near you in a log home off a gravel road off Rimrock. They moved to Montana and I lost track of them. Miss them.

Maybe it was off Highrock.... one of those Rock roads between Monroe and Duvall.

We finally got some snow here. It started about 8 pm.

I hope it's just flexible, too. How will you reinforce it?

I can only guess it is for the attention.

I do eat some wheat carbs (I follow the Suzanne Somers low carb plan), yesterday's breakfast was a big bowl of Grape-Nuts with fat free skim milk. I'm "weird" though...my family has always eaten them with hot coffee poured over top and just a bit of milk to make them "creamy", Grape-Nuts make an awesome hot cereal! My grandmother fed it that way to my Mother and all of her 9 brothers & sisters, maybe because coffee was cheaper than the milk in the 40's & 50's (or 10's, 20's, & 30's), lol.

I'd personally rather be in this beautiful snow to myself on my farm than at that place. So full of people. . .

I admit....I would rather live here (well, i may have to double-think that since it is snowing like H*E*-double toothpicks right now). It would be nice to visit and at least try it once. Gorgeous photos.

Yes we heard about it on the news this morning...what is wrong with those religious nuts ??
Seems like there is always some off the wall weirdo rallying the congregation for some freaky reason.
How cruel for the family.
Can't the police stop them ?
Everyone deserves to have a quiet and respectful funeral !

I do believe they were here, in WA, this last summer. Someone needs to verify this for me....it may have been Idaho they were at...but they have been here close. My DH told me if this was his family member (daughter or other)....he would be going to jail as he would be personally beating the crap out of them.

I believe that it is a radical "Baptist" collection. I hate to use the word church as this is a Cult (hence in the name)....but they call themselves Baptists. Yes, they did protest the funeral of a vetran being burried and I was thinking it was in the Spokane or Idaho area. They are Wack-jobs. How do people have so much hate in their heart? This is like "Jones Town".

How?!

Wouldn't you need to hold the head in place and in turn not get shot in the hand? Chicken heads are small enough already. . .

It has never been a problem, I keep my hand far away, and DH puts the gun barrel IN the back of the head...I was butchering turkeys one time years ago, and had a small loop tied around the victim's upper neck, stretching his neck across the choppong block and DD holding the rope, I came down with the ax and she squinted and let go at the same time, and the bird backed up just in time to get half it's head cut off at an angle, so it had 1 eye, etc...and it just stood there looking at us,Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww it was awful!
The bird just walked away and began feeding...no blood...half it's brains showing...we had to do it all over again.

It seems to me,that when I was a kid (100 years ago), we had a stump with 2 nails in it. The nails where not pounded in all the way and they were close together. Stick the neck between the nails, head on one side, body on the other. This may not be accurate....but I know we did something like this, but like I said it feels like 100 years ago.
