I adore the picture of the turkey leg with the mallet next to it. Is that to smash fingers that might be reaching for that turkey leg? :lol:

My husband has a 2004 Ford F250 diesel Lariat. Why? Because I worked at a Ford dealership, selling Fords. I got it at employee price and Ford ran a special 72 hour no interest sale, so we made out like bandits on that deal!

Moral of the story, if you want a new vehicle go work at a dealership at least long enough to get employee pricing!

Not to mention first choice of any trade-ins, basically at "cost" which we all know is substantially less than retail when selling them back out. I've actually considered working as a truck salesperson, but I like being retired so much better... Down here in TX, the pickup truck seems to be the preferred vehicle of choice. But maybe I'll actually look into it... Hmmm Part time only though!

That is one huge turkey! Sure looked delish as well! I really love turkey... :drool I'd be a bit concerned that being as old/large as it was that it might be a little less "tender"... what say you?

I need sone advice. I'm not sure if he's been nursing. I didnt have much time before I had to go to work. His belly is not full and her bag is rather small. I've seen him attempting but I tried to 'test' her teat and it was hard to get anything. He doesnt suckle well (not sure if normal) and now she keeps walking away although earlier she was all over him. Should I pull him and bottle? Now I am scared I was wrong and he hasnt eaten since he came into the world this morning :(
I was not ready for this to happen this early
