I too am a member of the clean plate club. I have the same kind of eating problems. I also make my kids try some of everything....or if I know it is something that is not their favorite...then I only give them a small amount. But if they pull the "I'm full" card....there is no seconds of something else or dessert....remember...you were full.

Haha...my son insist that he has 3 tummies. One for vegetables, one for protein and one for carbs...(candy mostly).
So when one is full, the other ones may be running on empty.

Well with the miles of bailing twine and about 4 rolls of duct tape, I should be good to go! lol

Bailing twine works great until ya gett back to the barn where ya got some hay wire !!!

Man oh man do I miss hay wire, it is so hard to find now days, used to be eveywhere & balls of it in the back of every pick up truck, and used for everything..
Now I have to actually go buy hay wire, and we do have alot of the hay twine, but it is not near as good for holding up a busted muffler or sewing a field fence back to gether and such stuff...

CL you kind of explained what the water boxes where, but where did you get them? This looks like a good idea.

Have you ever noticed how they have the look of always ticked off? Just think it is funny.

LF Cochins, yes, and the worst with the ticked off look is hands down awarded to Brahmas...they have the "Hawk Like shaded brow which gives them a stink eye glare like no other chicken.

I really want everything to thaw out! I was gonna work on the coop yesterday but my wood pile is frozen solid.

Was able to break a few pieces off the pile with a sledge hammer, but I figure if its SO frozen that I have to use a sledge to bust it apart, then it will probably be to frozen to cut, nail, or screw anything together... I am getting very impatient! Really wish my landlord would clean out the garage and let me use it. Love the lady, she is wonderfull, but the garage was supposed to be emptied 3 years ago... Don't think it is ever gonna happen. I could always do my cutting and piecing smaller pieces together out in the horse stall. Would keep me dry, but does nothing to keep anything thawed out...

I am SO very ready for spring!

Out of my four current girls, I would have to say my Silky has the best/worst case of stink eye. lol Such a cute little dust mop!

water boxes, I got them from the hatchery guy selling stuff at the Winter Brisk, he had a whole case of them, $6 or so a piece, I got 3, should have just got one for the experiment.
Then go to Walmart or where ever, and look for a heavy bodied small plastic container that will work.
Shallow, not deeper than about 6 or 8 inches..I really think a plastic folgers coffee can would work..I think...look around, go through your plastic ware/tuperware or look at dimestores & pet shops, pet co for example , should have lots of sizes of crate feeders/waterers...or maybe Drs Foster & Smith.com.............I cannot remember the Hathery from the McMinneville area that was there selling supplies where I got these boxes, and they were way over priced.
Seriously, look at Petco !

I know the feeling...it sounds like road trip time !
But you have to do your best to waite until at least the 12th of March..you need to just do a day trip and sight see maybe take the ferry to the market & shop around the city, I love PPmarket, or do Northgate & visit Rainwolf and her band of merry city peeps out there !
