WHAT YA GOT SWAP Chat Thread

[babymakes6]

We had wind and a thunderstorm during the night, but nothing serious, thankfully. Today was near 80 degrees!

I opened most of the windows and left them open all day to air the house out, and it was 68-70 inside all day! I am LOVING it!

Oh Candice! I'm happy that everyone is okay physically. How terrible it must have been! I'm glad Kim is okay, too. Wow. What a mess to clean up, I'm sure. Wish we could all come over and help you. Plug it back in and see what happens, unless it's too late.

Not taking time to read all the posts since yesterday..wondering if Kimisfishing is okay?? Branson was hit hard last night. OUr place too. half the roof on the shop is gone, the huge 12x12 door was destroyed. Our house is off the foundation 3' and the big chicken coop fell over. I lost 2 buckeyes and have 1 missing. a cat is missing too. I think it was a microburst. No one has been here yet to tell us. our neighbors single wide mobile home rolled several times, they were trapped for about half an hour, but all are okay - just scratches and bruises. No injuries here, just lots of frayed nerves. There were 14 electric poles snapped in half within a 1/2 mile of us, just got electric and internet back half an hour ago. We couldn't do much today because the winds were still too high, we did get some of the downed trees cleaned up but still lots of limbs. Oh and a tree fell on my car, only smashed the hood and a limb went through the window. Whew, that looks much worse than I mean to make it, it's all repairable or replaceable other than my baby chickens...oh and I lost all the eggs in the incubator I'm sure, they were to go on lock down today. I did find someone to take my 2 wk babies and take care of them but the 30 eggs was a bit much to beg someone to hatch, no one I know incubates. Oh, crap I'm feeling lots of guilt letting those babies die....sorry needed to vent to some who understand how upset I am about my birds.

I can't imagine how hard it must be to deal with all that destruction. It sounds like there is a lot of damage to your house and car as well as the loss of your hatching eggs. You sound very strong, and all of us are here to support you.

Your welcome! Well I just spent the day flipping my house up side down cleaning it but really looking for my caddie keys. That one key is $100 buck plus the cost of the dang clicker.

My husband was ill just thinking about it. But I said okay, take a break, I must be looking in the wrong spots. (After driving all over Lonoke). So I went to change out the newspaper in the bathroom for the third time since yesterday, BUT this time I sat down to chat with the chicks and BAM!!! There they were on the toliet tank.

Their busted, bet they went for a midnight joy ride in momma's caddi.......Or at least that my story and I'm sticking to it!

Here's the new key chain hubby thought I needed. Half the size of the magazine...Now he is programming a key finder for me. But if I lose the key finder, how will I find my keys?

Love it,perfect size!

I'm so sorry to hear about the lost eggs and the damage to all your stuff. Does that sort of thing happen often up there?? I just can't begin to imagine.Wish I could send our Florida heat up aways. Glad all my BYC friends are safe and well enough, considering.

Well here are pictures of what I have been doing all week to get ready for the craft show for this saturday. I still have aprons and soap left to make.

If anyone one has any ideas on what I should try to sell the bags and the towels for please let me know. Also I thought $15 was a decent price for my aprons. Do you think that is fair for the aprons. I will post pics of them. They are heavy duty with 2 pockets.

Aprons: $15 ea a good price.


Towels: $3 or $4 Ea. Which is a better price


Tote Bags: $6 or $8 which is a better price.
