wow. I must have read you wrong there, OFG. you were just exagerating when you said a man couldn't hug another man, except for his pastor, right? makes a good story!

way to go, and what a score!

sometimes some rescue organizations go a little overboard - we have one for chickens in the mpls area - they make you sign an agreement that you will obtain "proper vet care" for any ailment. well, you know chickens. I'm all for providing safe shelter, good food, treat for mites, injuries...

I see the poultry electric netting, but I can't afford that! have had a chicken electrocute herself on the fence - true, she was caught, so it wasn't a quick zap as much as continuous current. GD, I will check the diameter of the chicken wire - I think it is so small they couldn't get their...

oh oh oh, I forgot the surprise auction buy: an old working bee smoker and veil for $2 I really want to get bees, and hope to do it this spring if I can get the smaller hive set ups so I'm not slogging 70 pound supers. bees! they would pollinate my blackberries! raspberries! and honey...

thats it! I can not go to any more auctions. I spent way toooo much money. Chickens survived the day, and at the auction I bought a couple of rolls of 12" high chicken wire, so I can put chicken wire inside the fence - this will prevent them from sticking their heads through the fence...

oooohhh that looks wonderful! I bet you feel just great when you open the door and look in and see all your gorgeous "fruit of your labors" - nice!

yeah, my dd and her fiance liked the stuff I got so much they begged me to take them to an auction, so today they are coming up from the city and we're heading out to another auction. trouble is, he has a BIG truck, and that means the sky's the limit for what you come home with. And there is...

well, here's another thought (keeping in mind I for sure don't know the whole story!) - could you agree to separate, let him refinance the house, and you stay put for a while? give yourself time to figure out where you want to go and how? It sounds like you are both friendly to each other and...

does look good! thanks. think I have everything on hand.

yeah,.,,,,bourbon. used to be a time in my life when I thought nothing of throwing down good money, a lot of it, on good bourbon. dont know why reading OFG's journal's got me to thinking about that good bourbon. and no, it isn't you, Red Bourbon, but sounds like you could be a person partial...

am up to my elbows in eggplants. am also working like crazy, so have very little time. any ideas? I don't have freezer space!

so thats why sometimes my canned tomato sauce is all watery! didn't know that. I'll definitely try the blender method. thanks!

aw, gee, OFG, that's awful. dang dogs. I lost a whole flock to a dog who dug under the fence - took out all of them in less than two hours. Have to say I took up target practice after that. it wouldn't matter that pebbles was used to your dogs, a hen just isn't a match for a dog. me...

yeah, its a lot cheaper than pre-made food. You can make extra and store it in the frig.

always different when settling in a new place. sometimes takes a while to get your rhythm going. hang in there! guessing the owners wife looks for excuses to go to town - chance to socialize, pick up the latest news, etc. me, I'm always looking for excuses to be able to stay home. make do...

that looks so great! always great to finish a backbreaking project, and looks like yours turned out so well.

looks incredible - can't wait for a cool day at home to be able to try it. thanks for posting it
