    Storm shelter

    In the Ohio Valley, I'm sure we'll get another cool spell. The weather will bounce around here all summer. But man, it got hot!!!

    JUSTUSNAK...Summer coming to an end!?

    The weather guys in Cinci are saying the rain is breaking up as it heads this way, but it's supposed to be a little cooler tomorrow! I was just sitting here thinking that I might have popsicles for dinner!

    BARK! BARK! BARK! BARK!

    I think of it as the cops preventing a homicide - keeping someone from killing their neighbor whose dogs have driven them bat*** crazy.

    BARK! BARK! BARK! BARK!

    We have the EXACT same problem! Neighbors across the street have 2 beagles that they pay absolutely no attention to. Poor things are stuck in a cage in the yard 24/7. No wonder they bark all the time! They started up at about 5 this morning, and were barking again when we got up around 9...

    What are you doing for Memorial Day?

    Painting & cleaning the trailer. We're hoping to move out to the farm next weekend, so I want to be sure everything's ready. Oh, and working at the racetrack tonight. It's been so wet this summer, this is the first time we've gotten to work (It's a dirt track).

    Storm shelter

    This is our ultimate plan, but we aren't building our house until next year. So we're looking for something fairly inexpensive & fairly simple to construct to get us through. Thanks for all the ideas, folks! DH has been lurking, keeping an eye on the thread, too. :)

    Storm shelter

    I am EXTREMELY claustrophobic, so that adds another wrinkle to this whole thing. The culvert pipe seems feasible, tho. As long as the end was open to the outside, I think I'd be able to manage. Some of the ideas my husband has come up with give me the willies just thinking about them! Thanks...

    Storm shelter

    We are moving to a trailer temporarily while we build a house on our farm (won't be ready until next summer). With the horrible tornadoes that have devastated the south, and the nasty thunderstorms that have rolled thru here lately, DH & I have determined we need to build a storm shelter. Do...

    Smashed my toe!!

    The nail is coming off, but only about halfway down, so the nailbed is OK. I'm keeping it covered because I'm hoping to have the attached part grow out as much as possible before the rest comes off. Just hoping it doesn't look all mangled when it grows out. Already have one of those kinds of...

    Goodbye my friends, in a few minutes the world is going to end, ...

    I just read that the guy who started all this hoo-ha made $152 million last year!!! :th Oh wait, I'm sorry, his NON-PROFIT organization made that much. So ridiculous. I do feel sorry for the people who were swindled by that crook. I have seen a lot of articles about people quitting their...

    So, Ohioans, whatcha doin' to stay sane?

    I'm not in Ohio, but pretty close. The rain has been driving me crazy!!! We are planning on moving out to our new farm in a few weeks, and the rain has put us seriously behind schedule. So I've been stewing. But it looks like down here in the Ohio valley, we are going to have a nice...

    Volcano?

    Hmmm...all this rain has me so depressed, maybe it's time for ME to start writing a gloomy epic!!

    Smashed my toe!!

    Thanks guys! I soaked it, and it is looking a lot better than before. I think there must have been a lot of blood built up around it, but it's not so black as it was before. :fl I'm glad it doesn't really hurt because I read about having to drill a hole in it. YUUUUUUCKKK!!!!

    Smashed my toe!!

    Being the supreme klutz that I am, I have managed to smash my same poor toe twice in two days! The first time, I had shoes & socks on & opened a door over top of it. Yesterday, I was wearing flip flops and smashed the same toe into a chair leg, which caused it to bleed under the nail. It...

    Busting the Amish

    Well said, Free. As an adult, I think I should be able to put into my body whatever I would like. Of course, then I would have to deal with the consequences myself, and not try to blame someone else for it....

    Chicken missing feathers

    Usually his faves are kinda bald on top, but given the options, that probably makes the most sense.

    Chicken missing feathers

    I guess that's possible, but she's missing quite a number of feathers.... :idunno

    Chicken missing feathers

    I noticed today that one of my hens is missing a bunch of feathers on the back of her neck. They look like they are broken off, like maybe a dog got ahold of her & came away with some feathers. But there is no sign of a perimeter breach, and all of the other chickens are fine. Doesn't look...
