Thank you for clearing that up for me, anj!
Here's something that might have appeal today. Hope you feel more "yourself" soon. :)
Oooooh, thanks! I'll start a crab collection, cool!!

I have a question regarding the feeding of chickens.
I know that ideally chickens will spend as much time as possible out of doors, eating bugs, getting a little grit in along with the bugs to keep their gizzards happy, soaking in the sunshine.
We can tell that they've gotten plenty of sun from the color of the yolks.
But even in ideal circumstances, ie. lovely, warm spring day, breezy summertime, won't they still need a supplement to their diet? Or can they indeed forage enough to supply them with all the food they need to produce great quality eggs?
Thanks!!!

Okay...
Why? Why crabs?
How appropriate that you should ask!
I originally had another picture, but you made a comment about it that made me think I should switch to something else. So I went looking through pictures that I'd saved and I found that one. I save pictures of things that I like and I like crabs, and besides that I was feeling a little cranky and pms-y that day, sooooooo.......

Yikes, you go off to cook and eat dinner and look what happens!
They're crabs!!
If I can figure out how to enlarge them, I will.
They're crabs, all lined up. And I'm in a crabby mood today, so they fit me perfectly!
-
But Biblically, they're really not allowed to even have dinner with me, and I hate hate hate to put anyone in the position where they feel uncomfortable.
Pam,
Where does that come from? I don't know of anything like that in Scripture, unless it's a humanly instituted "tradition" that some church has chosen to burden people with.

Liz (and everyone),
thanks so much for your words of wisdom. I've had another bad day, but oddly enough I'm feeling a little better as evening approaches. I am anxious to find out what's going on in there.
-
Yep, and with old favorites, my kids know exactly when I will start to cry.
We did Five In a Row for Kindergarten and whenever I read The Rag Coat I would just lose it. That's a great story!
I also cry when I listen to/sing certain songs on the radio.

Sure, if you met Pam and developed a close and abiding friendship with her, you would treat her with respect regardless of her belief or non-belief in God.
I think that's Pam's point, GG. Not that people don't like her because she's not religious.
Very well said, Sarah.
And I highlighted those parts above because I think that Pam is a perfect case in point. Pam is a great person. She is a great board-mate and I've actually had the pleasure of meeting her in person and she is just as warm and funny and smart in person as she is on the board. And she's not a Christian. And I am. And, so what?
And as Sarah said above, in a situation like Pam's it's hard because she is non-traditional both at school and at the church that she attends. It's kind of like if you are the first one in your crowd of IRL friends to get married and have kids and you find that you don't click as well with your friends because your priorities and interests have changed. Also, you just don't have the same amount of time to devote to nurturing the relationships as you once did.
I've often thought that if my husband died I'd probably just stay single because I would have no idea how to go about meeting someone else.

I am so busted!! Where's the smiley for hanging my head in shame?
Ok, I'll try harder tomorrow. It's just I have all these URGENT questions...
Jennifer
How about this one:
Or this one (my favorite):
And I'm just busting your chops! I'm glad to see you and I think that this will be a very interesting thread if I stop globbing it up with emoticons!

Umm, I don't have an answer to your question but....
Aren't you supposed to be on a break for Lent?I'm just sayin'....
:p

Ok newbie here where do i go to pm them or e-mail them lol
Okay then!
If you scroll all the way down to the very bottom of this page you'll see a little link that says "contact us." Just click it and follow the directions.
Too funny, huh? I'm sure you just knew that someone here would ask you that!
-
Thanks for the reminder.
And I'm so glad that your mom is okay. My friend's mil fell and broke her back several years ago, and she can't walk now. I'm really glad that your mom has a good prognosis.
-
Why? Are you pregnant?????? ;)
Either way, you can email the webmaster and he'll do it for you. :D

Would you consider doing it as a kind of estate sale?
You could advertise in local papers, put everything you're selling in your living room and dining room and then let people make appointments to come in and see.
You've got nice stuff, so you really don't want to take the chance that someone can bid on your (fill in the blank) and then end up paying you like 10 bucks for it.
I've heard of people doing auctions before a major move too.

At the beginning of this year I gave each child a brand new box of Ticonderogas. Each pencil in the box was labeled. One child has a little notepaper reinforcer stuck just underneath the eraser. One child has a ring of navy blue, made with a Sharpie. One child has red nail polish, and another has a ring of green (from a Sharpie.) So now if I find a pencil in the living room, or under the dining room table, or on a dresser or in the car, we immediately know whose pencil it is.
Also, I told them that the first box of pencils was free. Once they go through that box (especially if they lost the pencils rather than used them up) they could buy a new pencil from the "school store" for 50 cents.
They really are doing a better job of keeping up with pencils this year!

"You know, I just don't believe that anymore."...People do not believe me when I say that. They assume I must have been in the wrong church, that I wasn't a "real" Christian, or that someone deeply offended me or led me astray....
Blaming someone else is always easier than figuring out the truth or illogic of it for yourself. A shorter cut from point A to point B.
I can really identify with what Pam said here.
I am a Christian, and a Protestant. But I was formerly Catholic. I had been very actively involved in my parish, very friendly with the priest, etc. So when I left the Catholic church, some people were very confused. My leaving was a process that took place over time, but obviously you don't share every little personal tidbit with everyone in your circle. Anyway, after I left, there were people who were convinced that someone had hurt me or that I didn't like the new priest, or that something must have "happened." Nothing "happened", except I looked at the church's teachings with new eyes and no longer believed them. That was it. And I know that some people will say that I must have never truly believed or understood the church's teaching on xyz, but that isn't true. I was a very well educated and very well informed Catholic. I was fervently pious. It's just that over time I began to question many things and one by one I lost belief in them.
One woman even said "Your leaving makes me wonder why I am still here. What do you understand that I don't? And why don't I understand it?"
I don't know.
One more thing: I really struggled with whether or not to say "I was in a certain church..." instead of naming the church. I sincerely hope that any Catholics who may be reading won't be too hurt by what I've said. I wasn't trying to be divisive. And I know how I used to feel about former Catholics...
But I decided to name the church for the sake of clarity, and so that people don't have to sit in their houses wondering "Was she Catholic? Was she Mormon? Was she Jehovah's Witness?" etc.

What do you think this means? Or more to the point, what have you been told it means?
Hey Colleen, I pm'd you! :)

Those are all really good, but saag paneer is my all time Most Favorite Indian dish.
And I haven't had it in far too long. :(
Thanks, Drew, now I'll be lusting after it til I can get some!
-
Wow. Thanks, everyone.
This is really helpful. I am so bad about going to the doctor, but I just can't stand being this miserable every month, you know? I'm 42, so I'm sure that my hormones are starting to get weird, along with whatever else this could be. Jennifer, thanks for the heads-up on the chaste berry. If it tastes okay I could handle the tincture, but if it's gross, maybe I'll go for the capsule.
I'll update you all after I see the doctor next week!

Oh, I don't really know! I have just read enough threads written by people who keep goats to know that uncastrated males smell awful and that you can't even let them live in the same barn with females because the does and their milk will begin to stink like the boys.
And there was something I heard about their self stimulating that I won't even elaborate about......
So I thought that Rough Collie would get a kick out of that since she's asking for more disillusionment! :p

I am having the world's worst period.
There, I said it.
I'll try to be delicate with the rest of this.
The cramps are awful. They've always been bad, ever since the very first one, but in the past few months they've gotten worse and worse and I pretty much lose a day or two a month.
The other part is that the flow is well...much heavier than usual. I have stayed home for the past two days because of it. That is unusual for me.
I made an appointment to see my ob/gyn, but if any of you can advise me about endometriosis, I'd be grateful.
Thanks!

Now, I find out that mountain oysters are not a joke.
What's next? Go ahead. I challenge you to disillusion me some more!
Do you know about male goats?

We've been drinking raw milk for almost two years now, and we love it. There is nothing like it. Also, I am lactose intolerant to pasteurized dairy products, but I can tolerate raw with no problem.
We get our milk from a very safe source, their herd is checked frequently and has been certified for safety.
This site is a little controversial, but I will still recommend it:

You can drive about 5 miles down a certain road and then take a right and drop some off at the home of your Grateful Friend.
That's all I can say!:D
