Good Morning!--Chat thread

[Farmer Kitty]

Hey, thewife, National Weather Service has issued a flash flood warning for extreme S.E. Thurston Co. due to a stationary thunder storm with 2" of rain/hr. I think it's for closer to the very corner of the county (Elbe and Mineral in Pierce and Lewis Co. are specifically named), but just wanted to make sure you don't have anyone or anything down in low creek-side areas that might get it.

It's 106 in the shade here, 88 in the house. I'm about to keel over. Gonna see if I can hose down the calves and the dogs (cows are too far from the hose), and will mist my chicks again.

We've never had flash floods here, but at this point I think if I knew there was a chance, I would go sit and wait for it!
Bruiser snuck down to the creek by himself to go for a swim! I wish I could explain to the other dogs, they can do it to if they want to!

It's finally down to 90! I did all my chores!
I do need to go back out there and get some eggs? My reliable layer quit when the heat came on, the 2 I gave up on, started laying?

Sounds like you have mixed up chickens!

I have 5 that are mad at me because I have them penned individually. I need to know whose laying and what they are laying. I suspect not everyone is laying and I have one that dirties the eggs as she's laying (found her) and one with a real brittle shell. Those will go as well as the egg eater and the roo.

goodmorning everyone,
Finally got thru the post. Glad to see not too much bad going on. I'm going to think postive today. I got the chickens re caged and redo to see if they will calm down. The chick that got the worst pecked is still going. She looks bad, but she eats and drink. So I pray that she'll be okay. It took me till 9o pm last night to get everyone set. The other only thing I did was chop 2 qts. of tomatoes to put up to make sauce later. The kids stayed playing in the livingroom. It seemed to help the chicks calm down too. The cats are in now eating while the dogs are still sleeping with hubby, and the door is closed. The cats get along with our sadie, but not with coco, my son dog that I'm sitting also with the grandkids. Hubby's uncle went home. They got the infection under control, and he told them If I'm dying, I rathered do it at home. So I guess Hospice will go there instead. Hubby is happy to hear that they let him go. But what else is there. All we can do is pray that he goes in his sleep. Peaceful and calmly. So on this note I'll just say that I hope everyone will have a good day and talk to ya guys later. Even in my sads moment you guys really do lift my spirits, with all the cutie pics of all ya critters. Thanks

Good morning everybody!

Because of the heat, ""Hubby"" is supposed to start work early today!
So now I am trying to figure out why I am up this early?

I guess I should try to get stuff ready for this weekend, while it is cool outside.
I should also try to pay bills today, but I am out of stamps. I have a system here. I open the bill, stamp and address envelope, stack the envelopes, ignore for a week, pay bill!
Without stamps, my whole system crashes like my computer!

Mare, I hope your DH's uncle goes quickly and peacefully in his sleep.

Thewife, if your out of stamps you need to put an order out for more. Then you can put your system back in order. So today's part is getting stamps ordered. Less work than actually paying bills.

I'm all alone today. DH and both of the girls went off to work. If it were Friday, I would go garage saling. Peanut hates going to garage sales so I haven't been to many this year.

Oh yeah, it's raining today!

Have you ever tried to pay bills on line? I resisted for a long time but so glad I did now because I can pay all my bills in less than 5 Min and keep tract of them, bill paying is no longer a chore, just still not fun to part with the money ..."try it you'll like it"

I want to do the online bill pay, but Hubby has a big time adversion to it! He don't even like when I use CC online! (ok, he just don't like it when I use the CC period.)

Kitty, I ordered stamps!
I pointed to the giant pile of papers on my desk and told him if he didn't bring me stamps tonight, I was handing all the book work over to him! It usually works!
What is this "raining" you speak of? I have heard the word, but can't remember what it means!

That should make him remember the stamps. You can put an order out for them in the mailbox too. Of course, that would mean being able to get he gate open to get to the mailbox.

Rain is that wet stuff that falls from the sky. That stuff that you usually get instead of all that heat.
