Wisconsin "Cheeseheads"

Unk, our school has 5 million sitting in a fund for 'rainy day' expenses. Instead of fixing things around the school (I have a laundry list of examples), they are saving that $ for a fitness center we do not need and cannot afford. They have chosen to forgo replacing a Science teacher who left last year, their reason? No interest in the position. Hard to have interest in a job if you never post it. My thought is they are going to use the salary the science teacher would have gotten and use it for the salary of the person who has to run the imaginary fitness center. The school lunch is run through the school, not an outside source. There is a notification system in place, but it is not reliable. My choice to improve the system? Hire people who have been trained to cook in an industrial setting and quit wasting $ on all the flash frozen junk!

If people took the time to sit through their local school board meetings, they would see where their tax dollars are being spent. The lack of funding for classrooms is not due to a shortage from the state, it is due to inept individuals flushing that money down the drain with wasteful spending.
 
I nominate Mel for the next school board.. and she can pick all of her running mates ..
make a clean sweep of the present ones..

all I got done today was to go to F&F for layer crumbles..

bought some walnuts so Annie can make a carrot cake.. thoughtful guy, ain't I ?

I will be making a pot of chili for supper tonight ..

eggs are hatching,, but not popping quite as fast as I would like them to..

the Hmong's eggs usually do not do much batter than 50% ..
I don't know why they bother with such small chickens.. maybe they are good egg layers,, but according to the eggs they bring to hatch, some of them are not very big ..
 
CS, you got me to work outside; thanks!

Here is what I managed to do in three hours. Everything to the left of the birdbath was already done.

400


And this is what I have to do yet. Everywhere you see crabgrass is where I have to weed.

400


I did tame the rose bush up front, and I weeded those beds too. I need some more creeping phlox, mine has died out.
 
The lady in Woodville is officially selling chickens with MG. Two people that I know through work brought chickens that they had bought from her to Barron to be tested. They were both positive. One has already destroyed her whole flock. The other will this Fall and start with new chicks next year. I can't believe how irresponsible these people are. They have been notified and are continuing to sell chicks!

I really don't know,,,,

but since these birds were tested at the state lab can't the state step in at this point?,,,if nothing else these folks should not be allowed to sell chicks not sure how that could or would be enforced. Where do they sell? local ads?
 
And my rejection letter came in the mail today..... I am starting to think that getting my degree was a huge waste of time and $........

Jim, I am not foolish enough to run for the School board. People already hate me in this town due to the 'Chicken wars', there is no way in He!! I am getting elected. Besides, I want to move out of here ASAP.

Time for the school board meeting.
 
mel, you would be perfect for the job,, everybody hates all school board members.. You have a head start .. and you will be living there long enough to jerk a few chains..

I just discovered a chick in bator #1 ,, not supposed to be one in there,, Now I have to find out which batch is hatching early in there..

I have most of the wood pieces cut for the new style of hatching tray..
I just came in to verify my measurements.. Now I am side tracked with this new chick.

and I didn't even fit a nap in today.. drove in to pick up GS from work only to find his girlfriend also picking him up.. He is on the phone constantly, do you think he could have called me ? we are going to have a short conversation about this,, One sided conversation, that is ..

My turkey hatched a chick yesterday (not a poult) and she was off of the nest today. I looked everywhere for that chick. Turns out the broody hen sitting on a nest on the coop floor stole it.
Luckliy, our school lets the account go for a while before they cut them off. I've been -40 before and they kept letting the kids eat. I got daily phone calls and notes home. My son had the check for quite a while. He kept forgetting to turn it in. If they did to my kids what they did to yours, that would be their last day at that school. They don't deserve to be embarrassed or to go hungry. Its not their fault that it wasn't payed.

it seems to me that $10.oo is a good buffer.. get notified and take action, but let the kids still eat. Isn't that what the $10.oo meant ?

maybe I am old fashioned, but if nothing is done about it, a slashed tire or two might be in order ..
