Sounds like they are going to do an ACL repair. I had one a couple years ago (1986). I have the video of it fom inside my knee. They drill through the joint feed the feed tendon through, staple one end to bone. Pull tight and staple the other end to bone.

Not any more!!!

I am twisting the cut wires together; this is more secure and faster on the selvidge edges. And I HAD the wire: I don't have cage clips, nor any way to run around and shop for them.

I'm signed off zip-ties until I get a whole bag that doesn't have half of them break when you put any stress on them.

Sheesh, you'd think I broke something instead of made it.

I missed a day and a half, and there were 30 unread pages!

All afternoon and evening, I've had what basically amounts to a migraine (I think). I've never had migraines, but the symptoms seem nearly the same. I believe I'm actually having withdrawal from the medication that I missed last night. If I'd have known this was coming, I would have tried harder to get to the pharmacy yesterday! Sheesh.

So...I've been reading off and on as my headache permitted. I have to say that the conversation sort of makes me want to revert to vegetarianism.

I'll never fully understand this part of chicken culture - having animal pets and being excited about eating them.

When I had to help with butchering, I didn't eat chicken for weeks. I was totally turned off. Unfortunately, it was my favorite meat, so I always went back to it eventually.

I consider myself fairly good at finding things online, and I couldn't find any gummy chickens (found plenty of other bizarre gummies though). If you want little chickens for the gingerbread coop, your best bet is probably a getting a cookie cutter or candy mold (or little plastic chickens).

And again I never said I do that. I am now 6 months why would I wanna put anything in my lip now?? Because the last month has been challenging.

Hey...4-HMOM...I need to talk at you sometime on what I need to be looking for in these baby orps and what I need to improve them. You are going to the show in Chehalis? I can talk to you there. It is hilarious...these are going to be some of the most spoiled babies around. They are becoming quite the little love bugs. There is one of the pullets that just loves to have her chest rubbed. I was cleaning up poop (had them out of the brooder box playing with them) and they were attacking my sleeve and the rag I was using...rotten brats. They are hilarious.
