STFU (Shut the F*** UP)

You guys!  Your dogs are soooooooo cute!  I found one on Google Images.... Actually LOTS of them, but loved this one.

Cammi!  I just got back from checking the Chickens again!  Got me 4 eggs!  I think I will have a 2 egg cheese omelet for Dinner!    I had put their water-can back in, because I could see NO WATER for them!  I emailed her, and she wrote back, that the black bucket that is hanging there has water in it, and there are nipples on the bottom that they drink out of!

Damn!  Who knew?  Not ME obviously!   Their old water can gets to be a BIG mess, because the girls must have parties on that can, dragging hay in the water, and raising holy hell.  And wet hay makes flies.   So I took up the old food I took over that they didn't eat, (fried potatoes, bread, watermelon) and tomorrow  I will take them cantalope.  Spoiled brats!  The whole mess of them.  But I love their eggs...  It's really cute, how they "talk" to me....  Okay.... that's the farm report of the day.

Mary,  Di, and Ducky !  I love to hear you talk about your "kids."  Lacee was supposed to be a throughbred Sheltie, but she is about 1/2 as tall, and much more fur than any that I have seen.  She is tiny, a little larger than a Pomeranian... with short little legs... like Mom's...Ha!   She is a little over 10... and just loves to stay in, in front of the swamp-cooler...  I'll post a picture of her...

Chevy she is beautiful, what a coat she has!

Di

I just love them...

Di...love the babies.........the one looking directly at the camera looks like our Bossy.......that was the one we bought for my husband........adorable..?

Sex, Drugs and Rock & Roll

Actually, b/c of tinnitus, I learned the exact song that a reporter applied the description of "Rock and Roll". Louis Jordan- Caldonia-1946. I had a musical hallucination. It started at 8:50 am. Thought it was wierd that the neighbors would be playing music that loud, at that time of the morning. I went outside to try and find out where the music was coming from, no evidence of such. I then realized it was only in my left ear---yes weird. It ended at 10:50 am.

I plugged keywords into the computer "tinnitus and music". Thankfully, an article came up that the doc was trying to change the name from hallucination to a more acceptable term in the tinnutus category. His term was "Musical Ear" 

A couple of weeks later, I listened to the Blues station on cable. It was a new change from my usual stuff. I then heard the same song that I'd heard during the hallucination. It was as I stated above.

I searched IMDB extensively to try and find out if it was a song associated with a movie I had seen. No connection could I find.

Have no clue why? But learned allot in the search. Since it was very loud when it occured and then degraded into Glenn Miller horns that were very irritating, I was very glad that it ended at 10:50 am.

Trivial Persuit:Rock & Roll first applied to Louis Jordan--New Caldonia(sic) 1945

Alyson-oh Take the Freedom Trail in Boston

Hey Alyson, I know you're having a blast!

Hi everyone.....I'm here Chevy...just so tired I haven't opened my computer...my stamina has went out the window and I have just given into sleeping!

Hope your labor day weekend is going well!

Since Chevy does adore her chickens.....I baked her a cate for tomorrow.  Enjoy lovey !!!

Thank you miss Lilli!  Loved that cake! 

So our friends came over for snacks and laughs, and it really was fun....  Wasn't too hot, so got to sit out doors under our umbrella, for a change. 

I asked Anita if she wanted to go see the chickens, so I took her over there, and we both got in their coop, and no-one escaped.   She thought they were so "pretty"....   And she stooped down, and petted one, and they all came over to her, and were pecking her shiny ring!  Ha!  I told her that wouldn't be so cute if one of them ate that shiny stone!   I picked up "Rosie" and their feathers ARE really pretty and silky.  Never thought I would get that up-close and personal with "chickens."   It's kind of neat the way they "talk" to us.. and it's sort of like they "whisper" when they settle down.

Anyway, altogether yesterday, I brought home 7 eggs!  Dang, those girls are busy.

Cammi, if you came over, even YOU would change your mind about those critters...  I never thought I would like them, much less not be afraid of them and their beaks and claws, but they act pretty civilized... I mean for barn creatures! 

Okay, bet the rest of you guys are just about DONE hearing about chickens...

Shells, how is everything going?  Have you heard anything yet?  And how are things at home?  We had our friends over like at 1:30.  EARLY, so no-one would have a chance to drink too much.  And right away we set everything out on the table, so THAT worked out great.    No more evening dinners for us.  Even our other friends, have us over early like that, so it's a lot more fun for everyone. 

Things have been better for us too...  a lot calmer... And I'm trying to just take life as we have it... and not try and change things I know I can't change.....  and be thankful we still have each other....  I know that sounds sappy, and I know all too well what it's like when life gets unbearable, but for now, I'm a happy hooligan. 

My great-aunt scolded me for scaring the hens off the nests when gathering eggs.   They didn't peck at my shiny eyes!

Mary,

 If you allow NEWBIE hooligans in your pocket tomorrow.....I'm there for YOU!

Di

I'll bring lemonade, you know how we all got in trouble last time when I brought wine!!!
