I hope they don't crack down on the medicinal marijuana here, because if my fibro ever gets bad enough, you can bet I'll be looking into it. I don't recall it being especially useful for pain though; it's interesting to me that it's being prescribed as such. Seems like it would be much more useful for someone with low body weight.

I feel like I'm often talking to myself here...my posts must all be really boring or something.

Anyway, with regard to sexing my chicks - here they are:

The only recent posts I remember seeing from you was a smiley. I was kind of wondering the meaning of it. Sorry really not ignoring ya.

I think that by the time my DH started traveling for work, that my kids understood how stressful it had become for both DH and myself. DH will work himself to death, and is convinced that he is always about to be fired for not working hard enough. Back then my DH was working way to many hours, and when he was home he was simply way too stressful for someone, as laid back as I am by nature. With DH working away from home during the week, we got to have the best part of him at home on the weekends. He wasn't as stressed about getting to sleep, so that he could be at work super early.

I must admit that as I was watching and waiting for my second daughter to die, that I learned the value of sleep. I spent Kait's first 6 months of life not sleeping for fear that I wouldn't hear her cry, or that she would die in the night. After being separated from her for nearly 3 long weeks of the less than 11 months that I had with her, I learned that sleep was as necessary as the air that we breath. So after that everyone at my house learned to sleep enough hours of every day. I still short myself on occasion, but I will normally make up for it somewhere else. I was also blessed with a pair of kids that really never gave me much to worry about, until they left home. lol But I also knew that there wasn't much I could change by worrying about the kids. I would rather send time on what things I can change, rather than the what ifs of life.

I do tend to live by the Serenity prayer. God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, Courage to change the things I can, And wisdom to know the difference. It seems to release me from taking on, and worrying about things that I have simply no control over.



It is very scary when your child is hospitalized for emotional issues. I can understand your concern for your daughter. After all we only want the best for our children. I have never experienced the fear that comes from having a husband and father, who is living in a war zone. I do think that the fears that comes from the experience is a very difficult thing to endure. The fears of all the possibilities, even if they come too not much, can and are burdensome for anyone.

I do think I saw that.I think you said 11"x16". Am I close? Sorry I am kind of running in circles right now and have probably been missing a lot of things.

Hey guys--

I'm trying to help my MIL out--she's looking for a pair or trio of young geese to graze around her pond. The area is all fenced and about 1/2 an acre. She'd like geese since they'll keep the grass trimmed down a little. So if anyone sees some or knows of someone selling some, please let me know. Of course, I'm telling her to avoid Chinese and I'm trying to steer her towards Buffs, Lavenders, Saddlebacks, etc.

Other that that--I am still pushing DH for a meatie tractor. So far, no luck. He goes back and forth about whether or not he thinks we should get them.... Most of the hatcheries are sold out until May.
