CocoNUT - New Addition....

[Vickir73]

Well it's free, but you have to be invited - but Coco - I'd invite you I'm not "people person" per se, but this is one of those events where it pays off to be an "a** kisser" I've had friends (yes, all cute "people person" girls) get wristbands for the "good" tents and even the the "ok" tents are good, it's my understanding the "good" tents are really, really good!! I just don't know the right "people" I guess

Another reason you have to get plastered at these kinda of things are the bathroom facilities - or lack thereof. The Port-O-Potties. Any girl will no that needs no explanation. Thousands of drunken people using the same spot to relieve themselves of all kinds of bodily fluids, yup, I need a drink right now just thinking about it. 'course for a fat chick - it makes it even harder to squat and not hold on to anything when you are drunk!!

 

[CocoNUT]

AAaah yes....the port o potties....what fun!
The cute, pretty, people-person girls ALWAYS get the GOOD stuff! Aaaaah...that was MANY moons ago...and even then...I was the "ughly" friend! But I did get a few free drinks back in the day!
Well you enjoy yourself...maybe you could find a secluded port-o-potty no one else knows about?! Or do like the chinese and just wear depends...and take a couple extra to change into! (That might not be a really bad idea actually!!!)
And here I am...struggling on what to make for supper since my tummy is at about 80% to normal...but I don't want to "push" it...hmmm...something evil will eat...that's bland enough to not have me up all night again. Wow...lucky me...I'll be eating plain rice for supper while you're having all kinds of BBQ! I'll bet you're just GREEN with ENVY!!!

 

[Vickir73]

I'm sure one of the tents will have some rice somewhere - if I find some, I'll have a few bites - just for you I'll need something to soak up the booze

 

[CocoNUT]

Ok...so DH let me 'break down' and get myself an early bday present! I got myself (we got me) an incubator with egg turner today! Now i have the fun of TRYING to figure it out! I even read the directions to the SHOCK of DH! So I'm drying eggs off and waiting to establish the 'temperature' etc etc.
Off to read up more on it!

Guess we'll be hearing about your hatching adventures now!

 

[bonbean01]

Only 7:30 pm here and for some reason I am super tired and want to go to bed...but...have to wait to turn the eggs later...Coco...come turn my eggs later for me and you'll get some practice

Don't be shocked if you turn into a hatching addict...happened to me

 

[Pearce Pastures]

Congrats on the incubator! I know we got ours for the kids but it is SOOOOO fun! We are setting another batch tomorrow of just Old English Game bantams.

 

[CocoNUT]

Ok...so my first 'batch' has been put in. Just a few minutes ago actually. I set the incubator up last night and was waiting and waiting and waiting to make sure we could reach and keep the consistent temperature required. So I go to get all the washed eggs to put in the incubator and SQUISH....the danged cats had knocked two of them off the drying towel and onto the floor! Guess who stepped into it?! That's right...with my nice, warm bare feet! GROSS! All the times I've had eggs drying on the counter...and the cats are going to explore the ones I want to hatch!? Of course! Figures! Stinking cats...it's a good thing they're cute, fuzzy, and allow me endless hours of torturing them with my fuzzy lovings!!!! So I now have under 3 doz eggs in the incubator! I think I also may have a broody bantam cochin x hen out in the pasture coop! WOO HOOO! Oh and Bon...when I say we "splurged" for my bday...we got the one with the auto egg turner! I'm generally not around the house enough (consistently) to be able to turn the eggs at the same time everyday! Nevermind Evil won't do it!

Oh...the birds are 'barnyard mixes'...but here's what they could be: cochin crosses, RIR crosses, auracauna crosses, EE, Jersey Giant crosses, buff brahma crosses, and/or silkie crosses! Should be neat!

Now...if I could only get my stomach to settle down. Spent ALL afternoon/evening/night yesterday burping up bile gas again! I took Rolaids and nexium (from my previous bout with acid reflux)...and still...all night! I need to be careful...otherwise DH might trade me in! Is 10 years too long to "lemon law" me?! (we both laugh about it...he's just as deffective as I am!)

 

[bonbean01]

Sorry your stomach is still not good...not fun Here the joke is not the lemon law, but what the trade in value would be...with me being sick and weak for so long, my trade in value wasn't very high there for awhile...I'm getting better, and you said you wouldn't get better until I did...well Coco...it's time now!

I'm curious about you washing the eggs for the incubator...I never had as I've read that you want the bloom to stay on to seal the egg from any bacteria? I don't use the poopy ones...those I wash and put in the fridge. Could be wrong, but that was my understanding?

When I was putting the eggs in my incubator, I had a klutzy moment and dropped one...big mess...but called the dogs over and they cleaned it up for me.

 

[Pearce Pastures]

Yeah, I don't wash ours before putting them in for that reason---opens the pores and lets bacteria in. Not that you are going to have a bad hatch or anything, but next time, you might want to skip that part and just make sure that you don't set any really funky dirty ones.
