Welcome, just learn to speed read and you'll be fine!!

Or quit you day job.

LOL It would be a bit difficult to quit my day job! It is taking care of my hubby and 4 kids, the meeting today was for him and moving his office, he wanted me there to negotiate..

he knows after being with me for nearly 15 years that it is one of my strengths! He brought me to the first meeting and at the end of it we had cut the cost of our lease in half and had raised all sorts of free bonus benefits, now he wont even speak to these guys without me there. (I used to be in sales and do contracts and negotiations) Sometimes it is inconvenient, but it is nice to help out and feel needed again also. Anyways, I was wrong in the few hours I was gone you only managed 5 new pages of posts!!! Someone is slacking out there!

At least you all are working on your run! I havnt been able to work on my coop in over a month! Between weather, my husbands court bs, my kid, my mother... Ect... I just cant get anything done outside, unless I get 15 minutes or so. I really need a second me.

You ought to train your chickens to be little builders and make them work on the coop

Oh if only it were possible!

Weathers nice right now. But I'm fighting a bout of food poisening...

So NOT my day today. Ive been laying in bed mostly, get up to do my job, then back home to bed.

LOL...those are not really ducks

See I'm afeared of those red gobby bumpy thing that turkeys, and chickens have...and those very shiny feathers.

Sorry, there is no cure.
I only have ducks that don't have shiny feathers adn have no red bumps.
Thus...the blue, silver and soon, cinnamon runner ducks

Muscoveys..are tur-ducks. Sorry.
But I can sure visit if you promise not to let the flock loose on me.

I love that fabric! Are they thick enough to grab a heavy cast-iron pot out of the oven? I bought some online once and they are beautiful, but useless as a potholder. I'm looking for 2 heavy pot-holders and 2 heavy oven mitts (I have a great oven mitt from weber, but it is very old and my fingers have worn holes through them ... no longer so useable., I now have to use the palm to grab things, but dexterity is not so good). Anyways, if yours can handle HOT items, I'll gladly buy some; not sure when I can get around to sewing!

i am not sure what you are asking.
the batting in them are 100% polyester with a special metalized film that resist radiant energy.

i think you will have to google Insul-Bright. i do not know what the max temperature is they can hold

i'm tired. you might have to explaint it to me in the morning

That's fine. I bought some from someone who had only used this quilt batting, and another who had used standard polyester batting (no metalized film). One was too thin to provide protection and the other melted when I grabbed the pan from the oven! If you are using something that is intended to be used in pot holders, it should be fine.

I've got at least one elder cousin, and her daughter, and several of Mom's cousins on the dry side; my Aunt is buried in the Gleed Cemetary (as is, strangely enough, Willie Nelson's mother). Mom's cousins and their offspring are scattered all over Eastern Washington, but I don't know many of them. Hard enough to keep up with my this-side-of-the-mountain relatives: Mom was the eighth of twelve kids, Dad the eldest of six, and I have cousins the way other people have casual acquaintences. Add that to my maternal grandmother's four brothers and three sisters, and her husband's three sisters and two brothers, and chicken math looks simple.

(All I have to do to make it stop raining is come in, take off my work coat, clean my hands, and sit down. I think I'm wearing gloves next go-around).

Did you see the pictures I posted a few pages back of the BLRWs I got from you? I'm going to have to figure out a new place to put their water bottle; they're too tall to duck under the roost and drink comfortably right now!

(I need a headdesk icon for when I phit post before I write anything
