One thing I have learned - Alaskans have a low melting point. At 65*, they start to wilt. Anything over 70* and there are puddles of melted Alaskans all over the place. It's supposed to get to 75-80* here tomorrow. It will be interesting to see how many survivors there are.

Laughed so hard I cried!

I believe their anniversary is actually tomorrow, but I don't expect to see her on here...

That depends on which anniversary it is

Happy Anniversary WV and hope you have a very pleasant celebration. If I had managed to stick with my first wife we would be having our 50th in Feb.

51 here

Yeah what really stinks is.... The two I caught I gave away.... The people traded me quail eggs for AC eggs.... Then they had a incubator issues...... So I gave the another dozen and they had bought a cheap knock off incubator and still had no luck it wouldn't get hot enough..... So I told them I would give them a couple ..... The one that I'm trying to catch the people are paying for them..... Not that I care about the money....I really just want the chicks to be safe....I locked momma in the shed for the night.... And like hotel 6 I left the light on.
Hopefully by morning the whole family will be United.

Wouldn't it help to have the babies on her? To help suck out all of the milk and any clots that might be in there?



so true!

I pretty much understand.... It's s lot like that here too...... Anything over 75 kills me.
I think 65 is perfect. I think we may have hit 80 twice. I'm pretty comfortable down to about 10 below..... But your can keep those 35 below days.....I don't even do anything when it's that cold. Although it didn't bother me when I was younger.

Oh duh!!



yep, i was thinking what Ravyn said. she will call them out



I figured it was just a misunderstanding.

Heck I never quite understand what was going on..... But I stand by my statement....I give people respect....I hope everyone does.
Otherwise who would hold the door for little old ladies.....I think respect isn't necessarily earned as much as strengthened or weekend over time by a person's actions.
If I have to earn someone's respect they can keep it.....

Initially I thought that all was in good fun, but then ----WTH

I've got pretty broad shoulders and a sturdy back for an old guy, but the support of friends was greatly appreciated. Sorry that someone should get offended when no offense was meant.

Sorry, I feel bad. I didn't say anything. Honestly, part of me thought/hoped she was teasing in a dry humor sort of way. I was thinking...she can't possibly be offended by a general greeting directed at anyone who chooses to read it, right? WTH is right.

We are staying in our camper at my sister/friend's place (we're both only children and adopted each other in Jr. High as "sisters") Most of our time has been spent down at the river salmon fishing. OK, DH has been doing most of the fishing. I've been down there "yakking away" as DH says. I love meeting people and getting acquainted with them, listening to their stories... We'd been fishing with one guy for about 2 1/2 weeks - never met him before - and he offered to take us Halibut fishing! So, the next day we headed out on the ocean with this couple who's last name we didn't even know, caught some Halibut, AND... they didn't want any of it, so we're going home with about 75 lbs. of Halibut! He wanted to show his appreciation to us for sharing the good spot at the fishing hole with him... So yeah - I'd say meeting people has been my favorite part. Now that our freezer is full, and we have about 60 pints of canned salmon and a bunch of dried salmon, we're going to do a few day trips from here and do a little sight seeing on the way home.

Sounds great! I'm glad it's going well.

Nicely done!!!

Why thank you kindly.

 

[LittleLakePhil]

It was, and a case of taking thing to personal, been there done that! I was lucky enough to have a little "bird" here help me through it!
Hoping I can do the same.

Well hopefully they will realize it wasn't anything personal....l way too much other chit to stressed over in the world today......

 

[LittleLakePhil]

Sorry I'm ranting away..... Blah blah blah.... I'll go do something else..... Kinda got the munchies anyways
