FrenchT: I kinda thought from your "special day" post that it was your BD, sounds like you had a good one. Anytime you leave the casino breaking even is good, but taking away the cost of dinner would have been icing on your BD cake!

Cindlady: My goal with the meal worms is to preserve them for winter use in the coop. I am very open to suggestions as I am new to this. I had found this site on freeze drying http://www.ehow.com/how_5632712_dry-meal-worms.html and thought I would try the dehydrator rather than the grill.

momgille: We had thought about getting some of Emancipation's Buckeys, but decided to focus on increasing our Delaware flock for this year.

Too hot to do much outside today, maybe I'll download pics from the camera. I haven't taken time to do this since early spring . . . of course like so many things I have to make a major project out of it. Can't just move them off onto a flash drive and be done with it.

Do I wanna know what this is?  In case it is contagious enough to reach my home.

you can pm me if it is too delicate to discuss here.  Fat chance of that.

Tmj is a condition with the jaw that causes it to crack and pop and sometimes locks in an open position... 'Nuff said! ;-)

Jim ...Seeing as how you were one of the first settlers to Wausau, I cannot argue with you! I was moved to this here settlement in '79. You were most definely there first.

yep. Jim actually lived in Wausau when Rib Mountain WAS a mountain!

I lived on Rib Mountain before there were condo's and picked strawberries in the field that now houses the Best Western.... but it wasn't a mountain

Sorry bigfam...no chickies or I would offer you one.... The 9 week old guineas, who so far are quiet...( fingers crossed) are my babies.
Got a lead from a friend who has corn cheap so going to get a few dozen to freeze... Ok did someone the other day say chickens can eat the silk? Otherwise getting ready for two birthday parties next weekend. One for family and one for first grade friends.... Busy stuff. Have to create an obstacle course for the party. Keep trying to get hubby to do that, but he ignores my requests...rather frustrating I tell ya! Since I am in charge of food and supplies and gift bags and craft projects, thought he could help...guess not. Ok done with my men rant for the moment.
Meet the teacher is this week...kids are so excited.
Back later

Sorry I missed wishing you a Happy Birthday Frenchy

Kendra,
I am go relieved that you caught the fire before it could cause to much damage and no one was injured!!!

French if people aren't going to see it , read it, or catch it flat out.... Don't bother hinting at it!!! Happy Birthday! I hope you're around for another 75 years.... :-D

Cindy that attempt at a nap is not a luxury item where I could get more done. I have a bad habit of falling asleep while driving home from work. As in a-cop-would-pull-me-over-for-drunk-driving-for-my-swerving-all-over-the-road-but-really-i'm-just-sleep-driving. So that nap is a possible lifesaver along with a latte around 9pm. Even then sometimes it's rough getting home in one piece, but I'm doing the best the I can.

Is Terri the closest to me that has a week - 2 week old chick around? Remember Sauk City folks. I have only mentioned the lonely chick a million times... Waiting for people to pipe up and say "I've got some this age" (see Frenchie hinting gets you no where...). And Jim Wausau is not close...

I have Orp chicks of any age

I lived on Rib Mountain before there were condo's and picked strawberries in the field that now houses the Best Western.... but it wasn't a mountain

I lived in Schofield and visited Rib Mountain once.

Neighbor has some Lavender Orp over New Hamshires that are a week old she hatched on her own. We are on East Side of Madison I just asked and she would give one up to be a chick buddy.... PM me and maybe we can work this out... I work m-f in Waunakee so that is close.

CS so glad everyone is ok at your house and that this disaster did not happen in the middle of the night!

I do like your outlook of the situation though......... personally I would rather have a much more controlled/non-damaging fire to practice with.

Made a BLT for lunch today and added sauteed mushrooms and a slice of provolone cheese........ YUMMY!

Now it's just little old me holding down the fort hey ?

Cindlady..... My special day was my birthday !!!! It's Tomski's Birthday too.... That's why I was asking him where he was ??? I mentioned it earlier in the week.... I was waiting (and hinting) for Jim to pick up on it !!!! See Jim, other peoples posts don'g get read either.... It's not just yours !!! (and Heathers)

When I finally got dressed we went to Hills Stills in the township of Pearson. I couldn't decide what to have so I asked the waitress what the sizes were of the Poor Mans Lobster and the Broiled Cod... I told her I was looking for a big hunk of meat (no comment Heather) Like the kind you get in the grocery store in the two packs.
She said the broiled Cod so I ordered that ! It was only $14.95.... ET ordered Ribeye $17.95 plus the added Mushrooms for another $3.50 !!!! I guess he didn't pay attention when I told him we need to spend wisely.... guess he thought it was his birthday !!!!
Anyway, the fish came and there were two tiny pieces. WTH ? So ET gave me a little bit of his Ribeye.
I have to say the food was good but I had to wait forever for my Decaf coffee and soup and it really wasn't that busy there tonight !! I did get a cute little piece of Birthday Cake with a candle and they staff sang Happy Birthday to me... that was nice.....seeing as ET didn't even get me a card !

After dinner we went to Mole Lake Casino...... Lost $5, then another $5 then $3 then $3...... So I asked ET if he had any more money. He said I have a $20,,,, I said me too !!! Give me your $20...... so I played that and when I turned the $20 into $40 I cashed out. My original plan was to get reimbursed or Dinner !!! That didn't happen but I did just about break even at the Casino. On the way out I picked up their brochure. Turns out I could have gotten a free T shirt for my birthday. Guess I can go tomorrow yet and pick it up !!

Happy birthday! If I would've went up north with the guys this weekend I would've seen you! We have a place in Lily. We usually go to Hills Still and Mole Lake Casino every time we're up there.
