I WANT!!!!!

I'm so sorry your day was such a fight! I can't speak to the medical problems, but I do understand about the cost mess ... everything is skyrocketing! My bestie's DH has been fighting his too-many-packs-a-day habit for years, but prices have finally driven him to what the docs (and his wife)...

Yup - they're the only ones I hatch. I LOVE my Nannies. They've got SO much personality packed into those tiny little bodies, and I like the idea of helping to save a critically endangered breed. The few standard hens I have are strictly for "eatin' eggs," not that I'm getting many of THEM these...

My Nankin bantams consistently hatch a day earlier than "regular" eggs.

An easy mnemonic: "Spring forward, Fall back!"

My latest recommendation for Saturday Movie Night is "Ghostbusters: Afterlife." WOW! Fans of the originals will NOT be disappointed. The special effects are taken right from the first movie, so Gozer's dogs are spot on. The sound effects were so good that my thunder-terrified dog was an absolute...

Last time ours backed up, DS bought a nifty little drain snake that hooks onto the end of his power drill. Worked like a charm, but EEEEEWWW what a mess!

It's not just "my county," I'm pretty sure the affected facility is less than a half-hour drive away! My sister is a dairy farmer who has drilled bio-security into our heads for years, I keep my "chicken boots" hanging inside the coop and all of my feed and bedding gets de-bagged before it...

OUCH!

This scary post just popped up on my local news feed: https://news.maryland.gov/mda/press-release/2022/03/05/highly-pathogenic-avian-influenza-confirmed-in-cecil-county/?fbclid=IwAR3iVIhdI-oPQeWDZs-1654bIKBerjDqNie83tBOmFAE3w-up8SouvHNqIs Luckily, I have a closed flock. The only people who...

It's good that you didn't heat up the stove for your kitty. It wasn't a good, easy, or inexpensive experience for anyone, two or four-legged. Poor Clancy blistered his front paws pretty badly and 3rd-degree scorched the back ones. The vet said it was because he used the back ones to launch...

I'll have to remember that one. It works much better than "The Hard Way." When I was a youngster, our big orange tomcat spent the summer lounging on the cool cast iron of our wood stove ... until the morning after a cold early Fall evening followed by a warm morning. He proved the old adage of...

A lot of mixers make amazing slushies. Just put them in a blender with crushed ice and give it a good whirl. You can get pretty creative with some of them ... like ice cream in a Mississippi Mudslide (and maybe a touch of that rum extract, to boot!)

Not enough to cause the reactions it got! It was before the days of cell phones and portable video cameras, or I'd have some serious ammo on a couple of them. I'm pretty sure the red faces will be enough proof, though.

Nope - NOT for a margarita, but it's wonderful in orange juice or coffee.

Not for a margarita, but a little bit of almond extract substitutes rather nicely for amaretto, if you can't have or don't want the booze. And I once got a bunch of 16-year-olds "drunk" on pina coladas with rum extract. There was NO way I was giving that bunch real alcohol, legal or not, but...

It's too cold to dig it out of my garden box, yet - but I will! It's pretty cool ... all puns intended, at the moment!

Permanent lung damage, light-headedness and nasty joint pain that was initially thought to be Lyme's (but isn't.) We're still doing a bunch of tests. Apparently, there is no definitive test for Covid damage. The only way to call an issue "Covid related" is to rule out pretty much every other...

The confusion is totally understandable. As DS recently pointed out, 2022 is actually pronounced "Twenty-Twenty, Too!"

Nope. It wasn't offered at their school and it's only just now really taking off around here. A lot of the kids are already from farming families, so i guess "Future Farmers" didn't have a big enough following. My sister runs the Ag program at her high school and serves as the advisor for a...
