Welcome Tash!
Ok how do I get Blue Kote off!

Of course when I say I'll just be careful because i didnt want to go get gloves out of the house, I practically cover my one hand with the stuff. I tried orange goop, that didn't work. Any suggestions? Will try about anything. I have work on Monday and know I will get picked on for this one. DH is still laughing.

I had to spray my fizz boy because his butt is getting picked on. Any other time of year and I would have let it be, but with them inside together more then out, I was worried about it getting infected.
All this cookie talk has me hungry. I am doing our annual cookie bake next weekend. The in-laws and me sit around and drink coffee, while the kids decorate cut outs. We all bring a couple dozen to pass around and exchange. It's alot of fun. Anyone have their christmas shopping done? I'm almost there, was going to go tomorrow and finish, but don't really think I need to share my purple hand with anyone.

Oh well we'll see what it looks like in the morning. Who knows maybe I'll sleep with my hand on my face and have a purple hand print there too.

We got about 3 inchs here. Was a great day too. Well have to go my hand is distracting me.

PS Gothchick- So sorry to hear about your troubles. Take care.

Good Morning Everyone!

tashayar! Hope you enjoy your time here and make some new friends. Becky you started my day with a chuckle that's too funny! Sorry! Hurley that's the bad part of winter too much time to think. But by spring you'll have it all figured out, then you'll change your mind.

Cool first eggs! Glad you checked in Susie"J"! Wish I could sew and had a sewing machine. Maybe someday. BL4 we got 3 plus inches here, the ground was froze enough to plow it. Hope that will help keep the ice ruts down this year. TO think I'd growl too if stuck in a sling.

Buster stuck his head out into the run and looked at the snow and that's as far as any of them went until after I plowed and there was some bare ground. Going to try making bread again today along with a million other things. Better get moving. Have a good one. Pack should do well today!

Good morning! the outside looks pretty with the white snow and sun shinning. While 1 egg has pipped so far and there due to hatch tomorrow

beckyschicks- did you try bleach, I done that to get tye dye colors off my hands.

to everyone who is new here, glad you stopped here!

We made choc. chip and gingerbread cookies yesterday. Tried a gingerbread cookie mix- it was okay but next time I'll use the receipe that I used in the past. Have to say most of the gingerbreads are gone but the kids had fun using the cookie cutters and of course eating them too!

First snow renoval of the year and DH had lots of problems- tire went bad on the trailer so they had to go and get a new set and change them out and the tractor was leaking transmission oil so they had to pick up some extra of that to carry on route. Finished the route about 3 hours later and got home about 6:30pm last night. Of course these are things that just come up unexplectedly even after he checked it all out

Off to go pick up our flatbed trailer left at one of the units and probably swing through urgent care to have my finger looked at-took did something to it last night taking the dogs out. The dog turned to run back to the house and my hand got pulled- so the finger is sore, swollen and can't bend, looks purple too. Have to get the kids winter boots too!

Have a good one!

Good morning! That was really funny BL4 on that blu-kote thread! I hope you get your hands clean Becky! You could always tell people that you have so many eggs that you decided to dye them early for Easter!

Good to know how to get it off for next time though...I am sure it will happen to me sometime. That bottle of spray always seems to be clogged and it gets everywhere!
Amyable...that link doesnt work for me--it says that I cant access it. You must have privacy settings enabled.

to the new members/posters! Tasha your kids look cute with that chicken! And only 2!!!

We will have to remedy that situation! Love those nice dark eggs....I didnt think I had any Marans hens but now I am changing my mind...I get eggs like those with the speckles all the time...guess I should find out what chickens are laying them and get them with my Cuckoo!

Mr Buffo is doing great this morning--no crowing yet though...he wants to get his wing out of the sling all the time and that tips him forward so I might have to adjust him today. His leg that pointed back is coming to the front now but the other one is still pretty limp. The toes are coldish too so I might give him a little massage when I get him out. I just dont want to hurt him more. I am thinking that he either has a really bad sprain with pulled tendons etc; or he broke his pelvis or back bones where the legs join on. It is interesting (but a little sick) that you know all about where chicken bones are from eating chicken! I can picture the thin parts of the pelvis and where it could have separated...yeah, I eat a lot of chicken...

Yesterday my DS21 mixed up cookies for me

I couldnt believe he said yes when I asked. He came home from college because his friends were going to the Badger game and he could get a ride. Well, that and he needed $$$! So he mixed up toffee chip cookies, Amish, peanut butter blossoms and molasses. I am waiting for a cherry nougat recipe from someone on here and I will probably do some gingerbread and toasties. I really like the system of mixing them all in one or two days, getting the mess out of the way and then baking them off on another day. I made some cupcakes for desert too...and the MOST AMAZING chicken noodle soup I have ever made! DH was sick so I made up some soup in the slow cooker...I wrote it all down when I tasted it so I can try to make it the same way again...might happen!
Now all that talk has made me hungry! Maybe I will have a bowl of soup for breakfast...then out to do chores AGAIN. Pulling that hose out of the well pump sure tires out a body! Have a fantastic day everyone! Terri O

Morning all! Lucky to the ones who didnt get snow!! We went out to feed the ducks and gave them thanksgiving leftovers. Stuffing, green bean cassrole, and some scrambled eggs left over from breakfast. All covered in water for easier eats! Lucky birds!

Making a few loaves of gump bread, hope it turns out! So far the dough looks real good. Hope it will be fluffy. We also had a guy come to our door that had overstock of beef and wanted to sell us a case of beef for 150. It seemed like a good deal, all sirloin cuts, new york strips, etc etc. We are having a few ribeyes for dinner and will letcha all know. He normally sells them for like 350, but because he had overstock he'd have to pay a restocking fee so was trying to get rid of them fast. Worked to our benefit, we never get to get those cuts at the store because they are so pricey! The company is US Beef. I dunno, I still want a calf to raise up and have butchered. Now that's affordable prime cuts!!

Not a whole lot else to update about I guess, i'll let you all know how that gump bread turns out. Got some homework to do. Gonna bum around on here, SS and BYHs

My three favorite sites lately!
