Hi!
bl4 .... Wow... you had great wedding pictures!

WCc...Congrats on the job! Hope you like it and it works out for you!

Jim... Dial up sucks!.... LOL But I'm sure you know that by now! I use Cricket (from the cell phone company) and seems to work well 90% of the time. Maybe look into what else is offered around there, has to be something better than dial up! We haven't even had a "land line" in years because many of the cell phones have cheaper and better service. If you make long distance calls or worse local long distance calls, a cell can be way cheaper! When we did have a land line my son was stationed at 29 Palms and DH's mother lived in Arizona, it cost .05 a min. to call them. However my daughter lived less than 10 miles away and it cost .15 a min. to call her!!!

What the H3LL!!!

Natas (my cat) is BACK!!! I was really worried! Heard too many coyotes the last few nights! The last couple of months have been rough on her. Too many "house critters" added

Although she did know my son's cat from before when he lived with us. She didn't really like her but at least tolerated her.

She came home with 2 ticks on her too

Well, not much else going on. Busy, busy but nothing anyone would be interested in.

Night all!

Good morning...got stuck viewing the information about that baby that is missing...so sad. I sure hope they get her back! BL4 every time I see that dress I think, "wonder if the original owner knows where it is?" LOL--fabulous pic in the water. So ultimately did you trash the dress? Or will you re-donate it? It sure is gorgeous!

So nothing new here today either...I have to take a lady shopping so I just popped on to say a quick hi. Last day on the quail hatch...I will probably leave the bator running until Monday to make sure...I think I ended up with 46 but I will have to give a final count and percentage. It really wet well with adding eggs every day. I am sooo surprised cause the "experts" tell you not to do that! But only getting 4-6 eggs a day by the time I got enough to run a proper hatch the first eggs would already be too old!

So, off to work. COngrats on your job Carol and I will see you tomorrow at the "Bark, Scoot and Boogie" event! Are you dressing up?
Have a great day! Terri O

good morining, not alot to reply to..

FT I will take you up on the photo offer.. I think I have your e-mail, don't I ? I should send you a test photo, eh?

I think the quail are done hatching,, I ended up with 25 out of 59

ETA TerriO.. naturally you posted as I was typing.. I think the reason my quail hatches are low is because I save them up 6 at a time until I have a batch.. I agree, that is too long to wait.. I think next time I will do the rotation hatch.. If I listened to the "experts" there would be a lot of things I would have missed out on.

Im back down near Clear Lake for the weekend. The drivee wasnt as pretty as last Sunday, lotxs of leaves gone off of the trees this time. The winds today will knock many more down Im sure. Wednesday and Thursday were way better for work, everyone showed up

I gave away my 4 hour shift today so I could come down early, I still gained 5 hours this week.
The guys had the house all clean for me today

but they got a long list of things they want me to bake lol Homemade cinn rolls, carmel rolls and Ill also make supper tomorrow night to give them a brake. I hope to get my camera out and get some pictures of the chickens to share, altho I se some look pretty bad with a molt, like my white EE, she has no tail feathers. Some of the leghorns look pretty bad too. Ill have to get them some sunflower seeds next week. They are always happy to see me as I always have treats with me lol This weekend was bread, scratch and they needed oster (sp???) shells. Of course when I get here I let them out to free range. We lots 2 earlier and we werent letting them out without someone watching. We were all outside incuding 6 dogs and just some feathers on the ground and no bird. Never did get what took the 2 so we are careful. Of course one was the one I picked and liked

Ok thats whats happening here. Hope you all are having a great day and not getting blown away!

Jim, I'll email you with my email address. I have a different one that I've been using.
I've been trying to wean myself off of frontiers email since I have to keep a 10 hour plan for $13 a month with them so I can access my old emails. I have thousands !!! NO COMMENT I guess you can call me an Email hoarder !!!!

I pay $40 for celcom's broadband, I think that is what they call it. Have an Antenna thingy, and it works either plugged into my desktop or no wires on my laptop !!

I couldn't load a picture on dial up with fronter. They let me try the celcom for the weekend to see if it would work in my area since I am on the boarder of service for all cell phones up here. Well, I loaded 10 pictures within a few minutes. When I had to disconnect it to bring it back I felt I was disconnecting a life support !!! I signed up imediately !!! I was able to finally start selling eggs on the auction cause I could include pictures !!! Well worth the money, although I wouldn't complain if it were cheaper.

Anyway, spent the whole day yesterday, well from afternoon until 9pm at the feedstore, walmart, getting my bloodwork done for doc appointment, Dollar General and local grocery store !!!

I'm beat !!
Had big plans to get up early to get some things done around here today, yeah right, doesn't quite work out when you get up at 12:45pm.

I've got a few questions for all of you cooks out there.

How do you roast red peppers ?? Reason I ask. When we ate at the Rhinelander Pub on Wednesday they had the most delish Red Potato soup with roasted red peppers. It had adoulle sausage, rep potatoes,celery, and roasted red peppers in a cream soup.


So does anyone know how I should go about making this ???? I don't wanna screw up. DH said to roast red peppers you roast them on an open flame until they are charred. Then put them in a plastic bag and shake off the black. Gotta be an easier way. I have an electric stove so no open flames in the house (good thing, dust bunnies would ignite !! LOL)

So do you think I should brown the sausage in olive oil before I put them in the soup or just add them (it is precooked) What about the potatoes. Should I cut them up, boil them (with skins) then drain or should I use the potatoe water as part of the soup base?

I don't know why I am so particular about this, but it was so Ham good that I want it to be perfect !!!! I would not doubt put the celery in with the potatoes near the end so they get done. We don't have patients around here to wait for things to slow cook !@! LOL
Now find out my sister and BIL are coming up to the Cabin to close it up this weekend. So there goes another few days without staying home !!! Don't get me wrong, I love my sis and want to see here but man Oh man, I'm tired and just wanna stay home !!!

Got alot to do before I come down next week and sitting here on BYC ain't getting things done !!! Ham this internet !!!! LOL

Jim, looks like we will need hay during the middle of the week, DH has to leave work to go down to get it. So not sure when that will be. ???????? I'll let you know a day or two in advance. I may just have to come down to get them.

Ok, signing off for now anyway, well after another cuppa !!
