Wisconsin "Cheeseheads"

Just got done catching up on all the days posts. Spent the day in Madison with my daughter the birthday girl. Looks like I should get on the ball and order some chicks soon.

Happy Birthday to your daughter! Did you go to Ella's Deli or is she too old for that? (It never gets old for me!)

Hi All.

Nothing New.

Night All.

No, Irish, my girl has expensive tastes. We hit Red Lobster and she ordered the king crab legs. She ate a pound of them so she did really well.

good chilly sunday morning,

warming up here already,, 2 above ..

the chickens can wait until I finish my cuppa for their water.

holding steady at 4/5 eggs per day .. once in awhile we get 5/5, so they are all laying. just not all every day..

I checked the prices for chicks last night.

meaties will cost me $114.oo
special blacks $197.oo .
that's $311.oo just for chicks.
then I get a bang out of people when you tell them you want $10.oo for a mature chicken. and they try to chisel you down.

it takes a full ton (2000 pounds) of feed to get 100 meaties up to butchering size.
that's 20 pounds per bird.
@ $.30/lb that's $6.oo/bird plus the $1.15/chick cost,
now add in the housing, water and labor.
then if you butcher them, add in another $3.oo.
and there's your $10.oo with no profit .

tell the people that quibble to go to the super market and eat those hormone infested chickens.

there is a restaurant here in wausau that gives you whatever your age is , that percentage off your meal.
ie. age 50 - 50% off.
My mil always wanted to go there.. so we all did. her children and grandchildren , etc.. when she was 90 she got 90% off,, but a 90 pound 90 year old has no appetite.
she ordered a bowl of soup .. great !!
we all ordered regular meals.. the bill was about $200.oo.
where is the savings there ? LOL

My sister has a LARGE house. bedrooms all over the place. she lives alone. the bedrooms are for when her kids come to visit.. she would be better off to get a small apartment and pay for the kids to stay at a motel when they visit. that will never happen.
come to think of it, my oldest sister has a 5 or 6 bedroom house, too.. her kids live close, so they never (or seldom) stay over night.

OK budget 101 is over for today.

it is a good gimmick for them..

I've probably been there a total of 10 times and I've never had a bad meal. Hands down best red potato salad and French onion soup

we went there a lot, too.. I still go to the little breakfast cafe at the rear of the place. good selection of coffee and pastries, as well as wholesome breakfasts, too..

I agree, never had a bad meal there either..

and I love their onion soup..
