CocoNUT - New Addition....

[CocoNUT]

Hi Southern!
Yes...I think Jimmy might be getting "Spring Fever"....or the girls are! Poor thing is probably stir crazy....oh well.
A mirror huh? That dork would probably try and spar with it! Then Gus would run off with the pieces and lay them about the yard...JUST to annoy me! I don't think there's a NORMAL "person" on our property! I swearr.

So...we're supposed to get some deluge of snow...apparently we're all going to die - according to the news. I think the forecasts finally settled on a foot of snow for our area...less to the east I think. I swear...everyone just goes DUMB when there's mention of snow around here! The danged roads were sprayed with chemicals YESTERDAY! They had to spray them again today...and its supposed to rain first. DUH. It still isn't doing anything...doesn't feel OR smell like it yet. Should be interesting. Everyone's been fed and watered...so all we can do is wait it out!

Vickr - I have two does due to kit in the next day or two AND I have a batch of eggs (my first ever) in the incubator! I really HOPE we don't lose power! It would figure though....

Coco...yup the news makes it sound like the snowstorm of the decade. And hope you don't lose power, but that has happened to me with the incubator and if it doesn't go too low for too long it should be fine...on the other hand...if it goes to hot...disaster.

I have eggs in the incubator too We can have a chick fest on here

 

[CocoNUT]

I'm hoping we'll be ok. I've got the bathtub filled...so hopefully that'll deter any power losses! The more prepared I am...the less likely the 'worst case scenario' seems to unfold! Still isn't doing anything here...

We went to the feed store to get a couple bales of hay...and they had chicks. Of course EVIL was trying to convince me to get babies....I'm holding out for specific breeds (I'm special enough that I got their delivery list)...Evil was not wanting to listen to me - until I told her we should have the SAME kind of chicks hatching from our incubator...for free...in the next two weeks or so! She has been satiated for now....

Coco...that is so true ...well..usually...if you get super prepared nothing happens

Except in Florida when you live in a coastal town in hurricane season...big time prepared...got whacked 3 times in one month and so glad we were prepared...Of course I make up many pots of coffee, put them in empty soda pop big bottles and froze them...I was soooooooooooooo glad...went over a week with no power on hurricane Charlie and I still got to have my coffee fix.

Storm gone now?

Okay, so last night, I must have gone to sleep with BYH on the brain because I had a dream about you last night that was SO SO real! We were all getting together to throw you a baby shower, and were bringing the weirdest shower gifts. Pretty sure you were expecting a goat or sheep. Anywho, I really remember being worried about not labeling the gift right because I could remember your name so I just put your screen name on it.

Pearce, what ever you ate before bed last night, I suggest not having that any more with dreams like those , Might want to eat those kinds of foods earlier in the day. But to funny about the name

 

[Vickir73]

candled my eggs last night. Couldn't see anything (I can't find a flashlight that will see thru the Maran eggs) but I did hear some chirps so hopefully I'll have some chicks this evening. Good luck on the storm - news always seems to make it sound worse than it's ends up being

A BABY SHOWER?!?!?! Oh definitely a dream!
So I woke up at 458AM this morning...writhing in PAIN! My right ear felt like someone was taking a hot poker to it...and just twisting and twisting the hot spike around in there! I was all curled up, crying like a baby! I almost drove myself to the ER...but the thought of THAT bill really scared me! (new insurance doesn't cover ANYTHING and really SUCKS!) So I doped up on Ibuprophen OR Exendren...I'm not sure which one...I just grabbed a bottle....then crawled back into bed, hands over ears, tears streaming down my cheeks. Mercifully I passed out. Evil woke me up at 1130AM this morning. Guess I missed getting her up and off to school! I had gotten up earlier and had enough sense to call work AND the Dr's office to make an appt. By the time EVIL woke me up, BOTH ears were painful and I couldn't hear anything! VERY muffled! Yup, Dr confirmed I have scar tissue and fluid in my right ear...and my throat looks HIGHLY inflamed. Told the Dr i've already had my tonsils out...but he's still not sure if I could have strep (again). So...after going through the LENGTHY list of medicines I'm ALLERGIC to, we settled on one and off I went, with an RX and a note for work - telling me I can't go back until Monday! WTH?!
So I'm still mostly DEAF right now...left ear is hurting too.
On the GOOD side...we did get snow...but didn't lose power or anything crazy like that! The yard is a MESS - I was slipping and sliding when going out to feed everyone this afternoon. Gus is half mud-covered. Just gross...I hope hope HOPE spring comes soon and grass starts seriously growing!
No kits yet...I don't know if the weather caused them to hold on. They were due yesterday...so any day now.
No peeps yet. I didn't candle the eggs...didn't want to mess with anything...EVIL wants to go back to the feed store and buy chicks! I keep telling her we're going to have our own soon...she doesn't care!
Now...to catch up on the journals....

thanks Marlow! I just hate not being able to hear! I'm almost blind as a bat...but my hearing and sense of smell have always been above average! Now I'm down to just smell...but my nose is runny....

I think Bon and I are having a competition on who is the sickest person!!!
