I sell eggs... when I get them.

And the ones I sell are 1 week old at the OLDEST. Crazy bad to sell older than that.

That's what we all tried to tell her, but she thought we were ganging up on her. I like dated eggs, because then I can choose. The eggs we got today for example, I would've liked to have bought some that were about 3+wks old for my boiled eggs & some that were fresher for my pies & fried eggs. All she knew was that they are 'fresh' so who knows what that means.

I just bought a dishwasher



Can NOT believe I spent so much money.

The pain I tell ya. . ... the pain!

And being in Alaska... I MIGHT get it by Christmas... but probably not.

I get physically ill when I have to make large purchases, but I'm so excited for you! I want to know everything, if you love it, hate it, recommend it, etc.

The teleporter busted... so yeah... everything has to be shipped up

Should have borrowed Room’s broom

Does your school take all of Thanksgiving week off? For me, one does... and one doesn't. At least I'll have Wed. thru Fri off though. (Okay, I digress now), but I think I told you one of my college classes us full of second language learners (mostly south American soccer players). Anyway, one of them thought "though" meant "dude" because we throw it on the ends of sentences so much. I think he's clear on it now, but every time I use it as a subordinate conjunction during a lecture, he says something like, "You, too, dude." Gotta lIove a Brazilian with a sense of humor.

All 3 of these posts.... You guys always make me laugh!

I am very annoyed.

So to recap, I knocked the price down, took a bunch of pictures showing just about every angle of the hutch, held it for a week, and now suddenly it just won't work for what they need it for and they won't be buying it.

I would make a note with her name & # incase you ever hear from her again.

morning Ponders! (It's still morning, right?)
Up since 4 am making breakfast and kicking the deer hunters out of bed. Opening day of gun deer season here in frozen tozen land. Wow. Don't know how many more of these this old gal has in her. All day yesterday busy making apple pies, deer camp cookies and a big pot of clam chowder for when the guys started rolling in. Today it's leftover chowder and fresh biscuits for lunch and a big pot of chili for supper. Oh, and during dessert, the oldest stepson drops the hint "my favorite pie is apple, oh and YOUR pumpkin pie, I don't like anybody else's". Real subtle, David, real subtle, . Ok so I guess I'll break down and work one into my schedule. No small feat since nothing canned or prefab in my pies. My "filling" for pumpkin pie is still sitting in front of the fireplace acting as a decoration until needed. Ok, I had better grab a bit to eat and another cuppa before I start camp cook duty round two.

You are a good woman chicki!!! I hope they know how lucky they are to have you!

Been painting since noon. Whew. I'm beat.
Never did take that shower last night I got too sleepy and said forget it.
Started to this morning and thought why? I'm just going to get covered in paint again
If I really did wear foil knickers I would be so ripe right now. .

I am very annoyed. Since I sold my rabbits, I was also selling the hutch I built them. I posted it around and got a bite on Facebook.

The girl who messaged me told me she was just getting into rabbits and was in high school so she didn't have a huge budget, etc, and so being nice I decided to knock $20 off the price for her. She asked for extra pictures, which was no problem, I got those taken for her and it all seemed good. She asked if I could hold the hutch until this weekend, since that's when she would be paid and also when she would be able to pick it up, so I said yes, that's fine, but it's gonna have to be Friday or Saturday since I'm out of state Sunday.

So Thursday rolls around, and I message her asking what time Friday or Saturday (today) she wants to come get it. She says that her and her mother, who was going to come with her to pick it up, are busy with things both Friday and Saturday, and can they come Sunday? I reiterate that I'm out of state Sunday, and furthermore I'm at a poultry show, which I wanted to bring the money from the hutch sale to so I can buy some birds...

So she talks to her mom and figures that maybe they can come out Friday afternoon. Okay, good. Afternoon comes around, she asks for my address, I give it to her, and then...nothing. A while later she sends me a message saying sorry, they got caught up and couldn't make it today, but her mom would stop by and grab it today.

So I say okay, what time? And she says early in the morning on her way to doing something in another town. I don't do early in the morning. I work a swing shift, I'm not up. So I tell her I'm not available in the morning, but maybe my father would be willing to help with this, I can check, what time would her mother be coming?

And out of nowhere she sends a message saying "What is it made of?"

Since she had already seen the pictures I took for her, I was confused and wondered if she sent that message to me but it was meant for someone else, so I just responded "The hutch? It's wood with a wire floor."

And suddenly, this was a problem, because she wanted it for an indoor cage, and she thought the inside area had a wooden floor (but apparently the rest being wire would be fine indoors?) and now it's not going to work. I told her that I have a piece of plastic I use to put down in the indoor area to make the floor solid when needed, but yeah, as stated in the ad and as IN ALL THE PICTURES the floor was wire. I also said it could be used indoors if you wanted to buy a tray to put under the floor, but it was indeed an outdoor hutch. Shocking since all the pictures of it where taken outside, I know.

But, you know, those trays are "expensive" (they're $20 at TSC) and she just doesn't think it's going to work.

So to recap, I knocked the price down, took a bunch of pictures showing just about every angle of the hutch, held it for a week, and now suddenly it just won't work for what they need it for and they won't be buying it.

Extremely infuriating!

Well.. who knows how long until it gets here.. but when it does I shall report.

I like dated eggs, because then I can choose. The eggs we got today for example, I would've liked to have bought some that were about 3+wks old for my boiled eggs & some that were fresher for my pies & fried eggs.

In our mudroom fridge we labeled the bins in the door... we labeled 4 bins. Two or 3 days each bin... then old.

Great system.
