Dang! Remind those boys that chiropractic adjustments require finesse. 😅 That sounds so painful! Thank goodness they made it better instead of worse!!!
"rolled up a paper feed sack and beat the crap out of both of them. Between my screaming, cussing and more screaming and their yelping like I poured hot boiling oil over them, we made quite a noise. I locked them both in a small pen after that and fed them there too" <--- 😍
i agree with you on the perfume, some people just pour it on - i'd rather smell BO.
as for time going by slowly, i always keep a book handy in such spots, my own book or a library book. if i'm bringing a book i might as well bring my own snack in the bag too, included in the bag is a piece of paper in case it gets forgotten or lost or someone wanders off with it thinking it is theirs - i at least hope they'll get the book back to the library and enjoy the snack.
I have made the decision to have my knee surgery next fall. That gives me the spring and summer to raise feeder pigs, Cornish Cross Dirty Birdies, the garden and wind them down, sell, can, pack in the freezer and get it all down to a more manageable level for BJ to cut my slack while I recover. I'm ready to deal with this danged knee and get on with life. Thanks to Carson and Trip in January, they slammed into the back of my knee at warp speed with 225 pounds of brute force, and I did an immediate face plant in the dirt howling with pain. They were delighted, thinking I wanted to play, they jumped and drooled all over me until I could use Trip to push up on and crawl to the gate. I couldn't walk for about a week, but they knocked the knee joint forward and somehow, that relieved the pain I've been living with. Weird, huh? Anyway, I'll be using the upcoming year to do what I do, and prepare for being down for awhile. Then I'll be up and going again. There will be no stopping me.
