My thoughts exactly!!! They still have to follow the rules outside! #1 being- don't get on me!!!

When I moved out on my own for the first time I rented a basement apartment. Before too long I noticed a good sized spider has set up residence in a corner of my living room and I left it saying it was my pet spider, mostly because I was too afraid to kill it. Soon after that though, I was gone for the weekend and when I returned found out it had invited all of it's friends. It was like a horror film - everywhere I looked there was another spider. I was killing them left and right, screaming the entire time. One of the more giant spiders actually reared up at me just before I terminated it. Still gives me shudders.
After a few months of living in constant terror I walked into my tiny bathroom that you could barely turn around in, and a spider had hatched eggs in there - my walls were covered in 100's of baby spiders hanging off of the walls by their little parachutes. That was more than I could handle. I moved very soon after that.

Oh, this is just icky. No way could I do this. I hate spiders. But i try to "enjoy" or maybe more tollerate them, when they are outside.

That was done yesterday, and the police report was because the wrong number had gone through an identity theaft thing years after losing a credit card that only got stopped by having a police report case number.

I wouldn't have lost it, if it was lost and not lifted (Freddie's in both Lacey and Tumwater have occassional outbreaks of pickpockets, as is common for groceries next to the freeway: I was bumped by a woman pushing past me to get diet soda and all I thought of when it happened was how much it hurt my ribs) but for a whole bunch of failed routines: the biggest two were that I'd left the house in my work pants, which have terrible front pockets, because I was too tired to change, so my wallet was in my back pocket and we left the house an hour later than I thought it was so by the time we got to check out I was having a low blood glucose crisis and was shaky and sick.

Luckily we're not in the process of taking out any new loans.

I let no one EVER bump me..and if they do, I spin around and pay attention, and immediately check my for my wallet !

If you get it to work, let me know how. I've been pushing DH to do this as well! And we are on 2.3 acres out in the country, but on a foo foo street with too big of a house. I wanna downsize the house, and upsize the land. And a big barn is a MUST!

You can also get a lot of other junk there too. We buy eggs that are right at 3 dollars a dozen and I would say that it is not as good as the local small 'farms' that you guys operate. They still feed their birds with junk feed and are crammed in there.

Free range "Home raised" eggs contain:
1/3 LESS cholesterol
1/4 LESS saturated fat
2/3 MORE vitamin A
2 times more Omega-3 fatty acids
3 times more vitamin E
7 times more beta carotene
4 to 6 times more vitamin D

Oh, I'd recognize her again, that part of my security routine was still functioning, but it was a BAD grocery store trip, with my husband and I both wishing to be home in bed, and me needing to eat. I couldn't defend myself against her bump: I had my back to the aisle and was stretching to get fizzy water off the top shelf.

ya know I have to say something here, we have a friend who lives in Boise and drives truck, he comes through frequently and we have been giving him a few dozen eggs when he comes through, the first time he had our eggs he freaked!! He said, "those eggs didn't last two days in my house"!! They were so good and the yokes were an amazing color and my wife loves them!!! So now we agreed on 2.50 a dozen and he said there is NO WAY store bought eggs come close to these, beside he said, I have seen where they come from and what you feed your hens!! I thought that was cool, but, its just so true!! Nothing beats fresh eggs!!!

I forgot to say, today's big chicken development is that the new BLRW's have figured out what the roosts are for. Unfortunately, they've taken a liking to the one with no cover; I haven't had help to open the greenhouse cover, so I'm using a tarp that's shorter than the hoop house to hold them.

Of course that means they can also try to fly out when I open the door to feed them, which makes it a new adventure.
