    I am SO upset...mainly a big long vent

    I'd skip cousin #2's wedding. Call her and tell her that you'd love to be there (I'm sure you would), but on this short notice, you simply don't have the money, especially with Christmas so close. Do NOT miss your family's last Christmas together for a while to go to a wedding where the bride and groom will be so busy they won't have much time to spend with you anyway. Let your family fuss. What are they going to do? If you don't have the money and aren't willing to put the cost on a credit card (I don't blame you for that), there's nothing they can do. Don't feel guilty. You can't get blood from a turnip.

    Prayer Request for ds surgery

    in General Education Discussion Board

    J is having surgery tommorrow for an occult submucous cleft palate. I'd like prayer for the surgery and the recovery. The Dr. is pretty sure this is what he has, but won't know for sure until he is under anesthesia. Hoping this is it, because if not, he will need a more extensive surgery in 6 weeks and not have much of a voice until then.

    Thanks

    My husband told me today we can get some chickens!

    We had a horrible winter here, and I wouldn't want to risk them. That would also give my husband time to build a coop. He just built me a nice little goat barn, so I might need to give him some time off before adding something to his honey-do list. :D So do yours stay in the coop all the time or do you free-range?

     

    Oh, our two dogs that spend the most time outside are a Beagle mix and a Border Collie mix. Maybe they wouldn't mess with them.

     

    Ours go into the coop at night, then we open it in late morning or early afternoon. ( We'd open it earlier, but the steer and the goats like to go into their coop and eat their grain! It's on my dh's list to make a smaller door just for the chickens.) It gets cold here in Wisconsin, but the chickens do fine. They come out except for the coldest of days.

     

    We have a german shepard that does fine with the chickens, he just herds them back into the pasture if they come into the yard. He doesn't try to hurt them. Our rat terrier mix ignores the chickens. We had a border collie that was a mix and must have had retriever in her, she chased the chickens.
