Men....I don't know why he even bothered to take us to this(it was his idea) he acted like he would rather be on fire then be there...Should have know,his mood was sour before we even left....Its not the first time he has taken us to stuff and been sour the whole time...well Im not going next time,learning the native american way to weave would have been so much fun.But he ruined that... I would rather just stay home and cuddle my chickies,weed the garden or chat on here.....

Im fine with the limit thing either way....

Man I felt like a ninja on that last swap!

So sonew and Henthymes your packages will go out on Mon!

Well...no more egg swaps for me! Not only did none of the guineas develop, none of the marans, that were due to hatch today, develop either!

If anyone sees me claiming a swap, just do the intervention. I can't take 3 weeks of this!

I don't know if it's the heat (we've been in the teens for a while) or the PO. Either way, it's way to hard on me, the kids, and the broody bantam!

Ugh!

box is already gone. you may want to toss the jars into the fridge the lotion can get loose around 110 degrees, if so 30 mins in the fridge and it'll stir back to silkiness.

If I take photos-do the flip- can you vent sex over the computer???

I've never tried over the computer, but it's not hard to learn.

Here's the how to thread, with pictures and diagrams. I use a tiny drop of food coloring (not red) to mark any suspected males avter 3 days I relook on the marked ones. i'm right about 95% of the time by the second peek.
