Nah, nothing like a Botticelli, more like a Bouguereau - just look at that expression, they share it!

Still can't multi-quote, but have to say the photo and the painting are both stunning - and eerily similar ...

Well, it WAS on a website as the special was a 2 day only coupon deal from Amazon local. The special was $65 for any 6 bottles of Vino Aquino wine with personalized labels, which was up to a 50% savings off regular prices. We offer 15 different varieties of our own wine made in shop, with a couple being brought over from Eastern Washington (a vineyard and winery in Prosser) in 60 gallon barrels and bottled in our shop so we can keep a good inventory of aged reds. Those are currently a 2010 Columbia Valley Merlot and 2010 Columbia Valley Syrah. There was no extra charge for the personalized labels. Normally, you would be paying the price of the wine depending which you choose, which range from $11.95 - $21.95 (for our ice wine) and then the labels would be an additional $3 each.

The Amazon deal ended at midnight last night. However - a perk of knowing one of the family member/shareholders is that I am occasionally able to slide by with offering someone a coupon special without the coupon after I get my cousin/manager's permission. (Shhh, this is top secret!) When you're ready, let me know and I'll see if I can let you have a one time coupon special...
ETA: We do have a website, it's not always kept up to date, but it does have some info. www.vinoaquino.com

I would love to order 2 bottles each of the CV Merlot, and a Syrah, so that's 4, what else have ye?
And where to upload a pic to ?

Oh great. I've been putting off adding an OE to my flock because I did not need another black hen (and so many of them were). And now this temptation! Where will it stop? I really want one of your pretty olive eggers!

Question and CL don't go any where! If I don't have a Roo in with my hens, why are my eggs still getting blood spots in them?? I thought that was a result of the breeding process??
ok let me clarify, blood spots in the egg, like whites/yoke?

The blood spots are from ruptured capillaries in the repro tract of the hen. Nothing to do with the eggs being fertile.

nope, no message came through, BYC is still messing up the PMs I think
I think you will have to find him an alternate home -- with this lousy weather I haven't been able to get a quarantine coop set up, even if I were in good health which I'm not
I have barely been out of bed the last week to ten days -- coughing so hard I get dizzy, still getting flashes of fever now and then
DH doesn't want any more chickens ... I might be able to stick that silver pullet in with the girls, but no way could I supervise an Omega rooster, I am afraid Roopert would kill him, and I'm not too sure the girls wouldn';t gang up on him either
FINALLY we have power again, for how long ??? who knows ??? the power has gone out here three times today, on for just a short while and then whoops ! flash ! we are in the dark again
we have just let the generator keep on running, keep a couple of lamps going on gasoline power ...

Okay, I still don't know how to Have ALL the quots here...I saw where I should look at these pullets closer...they are beautiful. I just can't right this second. They would be a nice addition though. Sorry I can't do. Also, sorry,I have not been able to read all comments...busy with kids. Hope to catch up this weekend. I hope you have sold the pullets by now...they sure would look nice over here in my pens though.

Ok, so here's what's going on in my neck of the woods. I will be leaving for Sheridan WY in a few days, going to see my kids.
and guess what? The Seattle VA called me to get my appointment for the Muscular/skeletal (sp) doc. Check out what the gal had to say.
I told her my PA had done all he could do, I've been to PT he told me there was nothing more he could do, recommended MRI
and go back to my doc. And that the Radiologist, saw nothing on the hip rad, and guess what?....recommended MRI !! AND....had a EMG done came back normal and the Neurologist recommended.......wait for it.....an MRI!!!! so I told her that my PA had said that Walla Walla (who is responsible for making these big decisions) said that I couldn't have one because of the "budget".... she says to me, that's crap!!
"we do them all the time"!!!!

So she set up lodging for my husband and I we will be going up the 9th of Feb and the apt is on the morning of the 10th. She told me that the doc I'm seeing is really cool, and does a thorough job and he will probably order the MRI the same day and we would probably have to wait around, but could have it done in the afternoon!!! Check that out!!!! You just need to talk to the right peeps!! I spoke to a patient advocate yesterday from Walla Walla,( who was supposed to call me back and never did!! ) Who said, well, there had to be a reason why they wouldn't do it, and basically blah blah blah...... REALLY??? I have been in the VA system since 02 I have had the hip issue since 05!!! Now, it wasn't any where near as bad as it is now, but, I have a rating disability on my back, and I don't know, but, I walk on two legs, after 28 yrs of a back injury do you think it might affect my hip???? As a Vet tech I took A&P guess what peeps, we may not have a tail, or feathers etc...but, we do have the same bone structure in our legs and hips....it's no different. We can't use three legs to support a bad leg.... anyway, lets hope we can get to the bottom of it, I'm tired of being in constant pain, and I won't take injections or pain meds, that would just mask the symptoms and not address the problem! I believe that my PA did all he could do, he is a good guy and he truly wanted to help. I think he may have known, if he sent me up there, the docs up there would just do the MRI and he wouldn't have to ask WW again. That's what I think. It's just like the military, hurry up and wait, and wait...and exhaust all resources till you find the right person to get the answers!! That's been my experience anyway!!! WELCOME TO GOV HEALTH CARE!!!

ANY QUESTIONS????


Ok I'm done!!

KICK BUTTOCKS GIRL !!!!!!!!!
