Nice!

it supposed to be almost 80 again today.

Anthony is doing alright, we have him because my sister is in ICU because she had some abnormal bleeding or something like that (or that's what they told me anyway) She's been there since about 3:00 or so yesterday morning, last I heard she was supposed to get out today.

and glad the sister is better and home, congrats on the new nephew

Chris !

I've been hanging around you too much. Opening a bottler of wine in the kitchen with a handy little gadget - works in on each side of the cork and extracts easily - showing grand daughter how it works. First time it just slid out. Daughter says, "You didn't have it in far enough." I non thinkingly reply, "That's the story of my --------------------". Caught myself. Daughter said, "As soon as I said that I knew it was all wrong."

ROFL!!!

josh told me to incubate it

I was surprised! Josh said, hey I think your call ducks are laying. I said no, in the leghorns pen? He said yes, in the leghorns pen. I asked him if he was sure. He said unless the dam leghorns started laying green eggs he was positive

woohoooo!!!

Last night the group was gathered in our bedroom for the dispersal of presents - it's the biggest room in our little house, and we put up the tree there. We are chattering away, poking fun and laughing as the Princess plays 'mistress of ceremonies' handing out the presents. When a girl friend of our grand daughter (she is from California, parents divorced, semi estranged from her parents) starts gently sobbing. She had been invited to spend the holidays with my daughter's family because she did not want to go 'home'. We started comforting her, and she said, "I'm okay. You all are just showing me what a family should be like." This really touched me as both the Princess and I grew up in dysfunctional homes. Not saying that we are 'functional', but everyone here knows that they belong and are loved. Hold your loved ones close and never miss an opportunity to let them know that they matter. When they all left she hugged the Princess and me she said, "You have no idea how much this has meant to me."

awe inspiring

S0 true! I have some funny stories from my LE career. Once while shopping with my wife a young lady walked up to me and asked if I remembered her. Her face was familiar but I couldn't recall her name. She told me her named and then said.."you remember, you put my brother in prison!" I took two steps back and prepared myself. She then went onto thank me as the experience had turned her brother's life around. I think he was back home and doing great.

great story, i have heard a couple like this

they have instructed me to go to a specialist for muscular injuries

they said that likely I will go for an MRI and then go from there. Next week is the appt.

they need to fix this!!! your poor arm!

Hi, everyone!

My name is Beth. Natalie (WVDuckChick) is a friend of mine, and invited me to hang out at "her pond." I've been a lurker on the site for about 4 years. I recently sold my flock of Golden Comets because I was getting tired of handling nearly 3 dozen eggs a day every day, and now I'm rebuilding my flock to include chickens I've just always wanted to have. I am now left with one Speckled Sussex hen, a White Silkie hen, and three juvenile Blue-barred Orpington roos. I have seven Barred Cochin hatching eggs in the incubator, and 15 chicks of varied colors and breeds (all large fowl, cold-hardy, and reportedly docile breeds) coming in April.

Thanks for the invite, WVDuckChick!!
