I feel your pain, literally. I've had Plantar Faccitis (sp) for the last 13 years and along with that I have heel spurs on both heels. Artheritis in my ankles and knees and buldging discs in my back. Poor hubby has to work his fingers to the bone at work and here. I do what I can and I also take care of my m.i.l. It's taken over a month to move and we're beyond broke. lol Thank goodness I can sell enough eggs so the chickens pay for their own feed. The swaps, I use any extra $$ from selling eggs to pay for shipping. These days nearly everybody is broke but we make it. Rob Peter to pay Paul so it's called. lol

Oh, I didn't mention I don't have insurance and it's always around $300 when I go to the doc and get my meds refilled. Hubby is the same. Thank goodness my mother n law has insurance. I was born poor and will die poor. Can't take it with me anyway so I just need enough to get by anyway. And that we manage to do.

Meanwhile, I'm trying to swap my way into some SQ silkies. I've worked on making what I have a better quality it seems one chick at a time.

I need new blood in my flock and I like to either upgrade my roos or add better quality hens. Usually by swapping eggs. Soooooo.........after I finish filling the last 2 orders/swaps i'll have silkies and sizzles. Right now it's mostly my white silkies that are laying and only 2 of them. I get a partridge every now and again. My bbs have stopped for the time being. We all know how silkies are. My sizzles where laying like crazy till today but who knows what will happen tomorrow. I also have JB quail that are back to laying again also. I have some mixed oegb's that lay from time to time also. Nothing I can quarantee a certain amount of eggs from.

If anybody is interested in helping me out a little please PM me. Maybe I have something else your looking for or can find it.

One doc wants to cut the tendon in the bottom of my feet and scrape the spurs off. Another doc says "Dont let them do that to you" you pain will be worse. I've tried every insole out on the market, the special shoes just for people with my problem, nurses shoes, shoes for diabetics. Only bought shoes with lots of cushion in the sole..........etc.........The only ones that work for me are crocs. I keep 2 pair at all times. I have a pair of new balance sneekers and my boots for walking around the chicken and duck pens or when it's muddy outside. My hobby with the chickens is a real pain in the back, literally. But I love them and they're so cute. If I didn't have them to tend to I would go insane with bordom.

Boy, I must really be bored. If somebody would offer some SQ silkie eggs that would really perk me up. I'd probably get excited and stop rambling and boring you all to tears.

lol I really have a good life, nearly everybody loves me. I have a great fiance', in some states that would be common law husband. Even my mother n law loves me and i've divorced her son and she loves him too. lol My dogs love me and I'm pretty sure my birds or some of my birds love me. Some are just wanting food or out to free range.

I broke one of my fingers once when I fell into the house. I reached for the door knob and somehow broke a finger. I think it was my "graceful" entry going up the 2 steps to get in the house.

. I worked as a pizza delivery person which requires using both hands carrying several pizzas at a time. The hot bags are kept on a metal rack that the bags plug into when not in use to heat up. I had my finger taped up to keep from re-injuring it (like I had done too many times already) Anyway. I had a pizza that came out of the oven and it was going late and I had to hurry so thats what I was doing. When I went to reach to get a hot bag I ran my hand into the corner pole that supports the shelves on the hot rack and dislocated my broken finger. It snapped and was sideways at the broken spot. When I got back from my delivery I was desperately trying to untape my finger so I could straighten it out. My boss was even trying to help me unwrap the tape with out hurting me which wasn't possible. So I just held my breath and cut the tape off and straightened out my finger. My boss turned green and had to leave the office. He let me stay the rest of the night in the office with pay.

My finger eventually healed and I got bitten by a brown recluse spider on the back. And here we went again. If you've ever been bitten you know what I mean. It's painful and gross.

Ok, I'm done. I bet your bored too now. lol

I'm gonna go finish scraping the old paint off the bathroom door. Hopefully I'll get a coat of paint on it before everybody gets up. If I"m lucky i'll get to sneak in a little nap too.

I had creamed honey way back when I was young growing up in Cal. Sure Bee Honey sold it and it was SO good on toast with a little butter. I just may have to try for that honey........... if I'm home AND online in time for it......lol.

I have plantar fasciitis and probably heel spurs as well. I don't know, can't afford to go to the doctor so no meds for me. I have shoe inserts that help some and just deal with the pain every day. I do know born poor and going to die poor but I am not going to die as poor as I was born anyway, lol.
I am working on rebuilding my flocks and getting some more breeds. Trying not to go crazy this time, lol.

I owe an apron to Braclin going out Monday, maybe today if I can escape my handiman who won't stop talking, and a package to Kristy that got returned by the brilliant post office.
I am waiting on eggs from Jenlyn, Westknollamy, bhep and shellyga. Bread from thechickenchick. Origami lights from chickychickybaby oops, I meant Ayeup.

If I'm missing anything let me know! I'm starting to confoozle myself.
