I saw a posting on the Columbus Ohio Craigslist for Goose Eggs - Tolouse - I know I didn't spell that right.

And I'm not that far away, so I'll buy a mini emu when they hatch!

Yeah, I saw the goose eggs on the Columbus CL. I'm really hoping to find goslings but if I have to go eggs then I will. Thanks!

Do you have a spare male guinea?

I'm beginning to suspect I kept only females last fall when I sold off some / penned some for the winter. All I'm hearing down there is "pot rack, pot rack"....

If you do, point him in my direction and toss him realllllllly hard.

You might put a stamp on his bum in case he doesn't make it all the way. Mebbers someone nice will pick him up and drop him in the mail to finish the trip.

Please? Thank you.

eta, enjoy your weekend.

I do have a spare male guinea...if only that would work

No luck on turkey poults today...everyone is all sold out I guess I'll just order from Meyer.

We did a massive Spring cleanout on the coops today. So tired (we use deep litter method). DH just went to grab us some chow cause I'm not up to cooking.

DH's dad has decided that he is done with chemo...done with doctors and all things related and that he will just wait to die.

A bitter fight over the will has already begun and he is not yet gone...I hate that my SIL has $$$ in her eyes.

It's all a very rough situation on my DH as it all falls onto his shoulders. FIL expects DH to quit his job and rent an apartment close to him (how do you accomplish that when you quit your job?) and to spend every waking minute with him (but he doesn't want anyone to live with him. FIL has been having some bouts of dementia but has no regular family doctor to help us with an intervention.

I don't know how long it'll be...he's not saying why he's giving up.

It never ends does it?

Sorry to here about your FIL hopefully it works it self out.

to you and yours

aww, hun. I'm sorry about all that.

All you can do is your best. That's all. Anyone who expects more, is sick or irrational or just both.

You and hubby stand your ground. Hubby has got to have a place away from all that, and it needs to be home with the woman who loves him most........thats you by the way, lol.

When I was caring for my mother's mother, I often wondered how I was going to do it all. Now, when I look back, I wonder how I did it all. You'll get there, just by placing one foot in front of the other, so long as you remember to sit down and breath from time to time. Just do what you can, and remember that is ALL you can do.

I wish I was there to give you that hug...........

So sorry. Sure hope that thing's turn around.

It's really frustrating because FIL has bladder cancer is it is highly treatable, but he's being childish about treatment side effects. To be clear, DH is not quitting his job and is not getting an apartment near FIL. FIL lives 40 minutes away...not that far away. We're going to look into home health or hospice care help for him depending on what his true situation is. He's a complicated man and we're not 100% sure of what's going on with him because of the dementia and his not having a primary care doctor.

DH's sister has always had a bad relationship with FIL so she isn't willing to help unless she gets the house when he's gone...see what I mean about $$$ in her eyes? That really ticks me off.

He's only 60 but is on social security and medicare because of an injury 30 years ago. Our options are limited to what "he will allow" and he's being uncooperative in that fashion. If anyone has any ideas I'm all ears because any time I've had to help with this sort of thing before the patient allowed the caregiver to make the right calls without a fight.

The boys and DH are creating tonight's menu...but they insist that I do the cooking..

Looks like we're having meatloaf with baked potatoes and banana milkshakes for dinner
