Critterfixer Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Cute bun-buns. They aren't eating each other! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Cute bun-buns. They aren't eating each other! The camera lies. ;) Though they are getting better. Rusty has actually groomed Bailey a couple of times. We still have to watch Bailey carefully though. She can be a very fickle girl friend who can turn on him at a moment's notice. We think she has some kind of a bunny PTSD that makes her lash out. (She apparently came to the shelter with wounds right where a rabbit would attack.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lots of little ducklings Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 (edited) I hauled all the hoses out from the back of the shed* and untangled them. Then I hooked them all up (we have four, stuck to a hose-splitter-thingy that connects to our one spigot). It's not official because we are out of plumber's tape, but at least they are all dragged out to the right locations. Then I raked every inch of the yard to get up all the moss. Then I smoothed out a (finally not-frozen) pile of dirt next to the garage so that we can line the garbage cans there, instead of in the driveway. Then I calculated how much lime/seed/etc we still need to get tomorrow. Then I washed my feet and my face and sat down here with a bowl of popcorn. Dh is making pizza. :001_wub: ETA to add my asterisk. *This was a massive undertaking. It has earned me a teensy-tinsey slice of leftover bday ice-cream cake later tonight.

But I don't remember the answer. My brain = sieve. A can or two of jumbo refrigerated biscuitsLarge marshmallows (one for each biscuit) Melted butter Cinnamon sugar Flatten out the biscuit a bit and seal a marshmallow in it (sealing Jesus in the tomb) Roll in melted butter and cinnamon sugar. Place in well-buttered/sprayed muffin pan. Bake in a 400* (?) oven for 20-30 minutes. The tomb is empty. Eat the tomb.

KrissiK Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Yes. I'll take a Manhattan, since we're placing orders, or a bourbon and water (no ice). I default to red wine if no bourbon is available. If that's not available, someone's getting fired. :D Who's the bartender? He or she had better take note that Ikslo is a tough task master! boy, Ikslo's high maintenance!!😜 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrissiK Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 (edited) Happy Anniversary, Critter and Mr. Critter. Bunnies are adorable, Jeannie!! Quackers, you've been quite busy!! Renaissance, aka Renaissance, aka Renai (I was wondering how long autocorrect was going to do that) I've always thought of rolled tacos and taquitoes as basically the same thing and flautas with flour tortillas, though some restaurants give you a choice of flour or corn. Deep fried flour tortillas are delicious. And that is a Mexican food Booya/h!!! Edited April 16, 2017 by KrissiK 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Jean, how do you keep bunny cages from stinking? Ds wants one, and when we had one before, even with cage cleaning really often, that one poopy corner seemed yucky, and i think he would pee out that corner down the wall. I'm just dreading it, but i know othwrs never have issues. We're not always successful. Rusty is fine. He pees and poops in his litter box which is in one corner of his cage. As long as that is periodically cleaned, it doesn't smell. Bailey, on the other hand is a bit of a problem. But that's mainly because her cage isn't big enough for her even though it's a standard store rabbit cage. We put puppy pee pads on the bottom of the cage because she often misses the litter box. Then we change our the pee pads every day or every other day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 So you have a litter box inside the cage? May I see pics, please? Bailey's dirty cage. Her litter box is at the top of the picture at the end. This cage is too small for her. The only reason she is still in it is because she still wants to eat Rusty's face.

Jean in Newcastle Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Rusty's two story cage. His litter box is on the bottom floor. You can't see it but it's there. Eventually we want Bailey and Rusty to share this cage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just dreading it, but i know othwrs never have issues. We have the litter box inside the cage like Jean - they sit and do their business while munching hay from the haybox that is hung above the litter box. I think what mostly keeps our bunny area from smelling is the litter we use in the litter box - hardwood stove/fuel pellets from the farmer's co-op. Super cheap (about $12 for a 50 lb bag). It was recommended by the bunny adoption agency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Thanks, Jean! Do you use cat litter or something special?We use 'Yesterday's news' which is paper based cat litter. You can use small animal bedding or litter but we find it easier to use this stuff. More litter for less. DO NOT USE CLUMPING CAT LITTER. Rabbits like to eat while Using the bathroom and if they eat the clumping litter they can get very very sick. You can look up the different things you can use with bunnies.

Susan in TN Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Thanks, Susan! I'll have to see if i can find those here. How often do you change the litter? Dd18 is supposed to do it once a week. Sometimes it goes a couple weeks, but even then it doesn't get smelly. Maybe our rabbits are weirdly unsmelly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrissiK Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 (edited) Ahhh, innocence lost!! We were driving back home from the nursing home to visit my dad this evening when all of the sudden I hear, "ooooh, GROSS!! Mom, there's a man standing in his kitchen in front of the window and he's N@KED!!! oooohhh!" Apparently he was fat and hairy, too. I am glad I missed that one, that's all I have to say!!

KrissiK Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Does anybody have any holiday traditions(any holiday) that involve Mom sleeping in? I still remember my first Labor Day as a stay at home mom. Every year previous Labor Day had been a time to sleep in and enjoy the day. No work. Just play. And then, the boys were up at 6:00am. And then the reality of motherhood hit me. 😩 Every holiday plan begins with sleeping in. Every holiday reality begins with disappointment.

Renai Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 We just got out of bed because the neighbors ("uncles") called the girls to give them Easter baskets. I was awake, but was sleeping in. Kind of. Because I wasn't asleep. We're watching T.D. Jake's live Easter service on the Roku. I guess we're heathens. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renai Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 I got an unexpected answer from the homeschool conference people. Last year, it was like "suck it up," this is the price. This year, they reminded me that the price is actually the single price from years ago, but they've now allowed spouses in basically free. They still asked if I was a single mom. I just said, no, it's just my husband would not get much out of it in his second language, and my graduating daughter would. They're giving me free admission. I am shocked. I'll pay for Dancer (~$10), and I'll be able to put Gymnast in the kid program. Dh was telling me I should stay the night Thursday so we can see the homeschool showcase that evening and not drive back at night. In fact, he was saying he might take the day off and go with us, since it's the same day of Dancer's developmental optometrist appointment, and we can make a day of it. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really just want a regular, straight forward worship service with a good gospel sermon. I don't really want extra stuff like little kids ringing bells to some background track so you can recognize the song, and then little kids singing with motions so everyone can "ahhhh" and "ooooh" over how cute, and a solo performance by someone who maybe shouldn't sing solos, and a video clip of something else, oh, and a kid skit about the crucifixion. So, I went, but I'm really more heathen than you, lol. :o I got an unexpected answer from the homeschool conference people. Last year, it was like "suck it up," this is the price.
