We are moving and cannot have chickens anymore

[texaschickmama]

What a fantastic way to ensure your financial future. I'm so happy that your wife is able to be in nusing school-- I have always wanted to do that. Instead, I will be doing medical transcription from home. Having a little piece of land is great, no neighbors, at least that I can see. Those are the best kind of neighbors, the ones you can't see. Good luck in your new ventures.

Sounds like a great decision PC. My dh and I went back to grad school in our early 30s. It was a temporary set back, but gave us sooooooooo much more income long term. I had to go out of state for 18 months without him.

Maybe you can start a zoning ordinance change.....

Good luck PC.

Bummer.
But I completely understand your motivation.

The laws don't say anything about exotic ground dwelling parrots, do they?

WOW.....good luck to you. It sounds like you have your priorities in order. It takes a strength i dont have to do what your doing. Best wishes through all this PC.

PC without chickens is just scary.

Hey, Purple Chicken, tho I have never talked to you directly, you are one of my favorite voices here, so I am glad you're not going away.

It's always easier, in this instant gratification culture, to make the cheap decision (or cheep decision?), and it takes guts to think long term. Tell your woman we all send her our very best - there are actually a lot of chicken loving RNs out here - and we look forward to continuing to hear from you.

Gotta live your life, purple chicken, and the birds will always be back.

best.

HEY PC - You'll have to keep a few 'Asian Ground Parrots' - they aren't 'real' chickens anyway LOL!

Keep your sense of humor, and hopefully your mom is the 'butt-OUTsky' type and it will work out very well.

What a great opportunity to SAVE SAVE SAVE a good sized nest egg - when nursing school is over and you are ready to move on you'll have a great downpayment on a rural property where you can have a gillion chickens!

Keep on hatchin....

Best of luck to you PC! Its nice you'll be helping out your mom too!

Chickens diapers!

Something tells me that all this means is that PC is trolling for some chicken diaper patterns and he just doesn't want to come out and ask for them...

Keep the faith, brother...

You all are killing me with kindness.

The Mom thing won't be too easy. I'm an only child and will
always be her baby. Once my son was born she stopped that
and he became #1, as it should be.

The house is getting to be too much for her as she gets older.
It will take me some time to get it into a condition where we
can sell it and find a smaller place for her. Some of the 55+
communities out here are really nice.

Again, I view this as a blessing. We own our current house(well
half of it since it's a two family duplex), our bills are paid, we
both have good secure jobs, and everyone is healthy. God has
been very good to me and continues to give me guidance,
even when I'm not worthy of it.

There are many people out there who are losing their houses
because of foreclosures, loss of jobs, illnesses, etc. Our prayers
should all go out to them.
