    Hi From Tennessee

    Hi Angie! Welcome! I'm new to this site also, but been on BYC for almost a year. (I have had chickens for over 12 years!)

    HOORAY! I DID IT! Power Bill DOWN!

    Oh, no mistake, it's just what happens. I'm not the only one either. What bites is its a mandatory overtime shift, they can MAKE me do it!! And I can lose my job of 17 years if I refuse to do it again! I have to have a medical excuse if I cant get someone to cover the shifts for me (which is...

    Suggest tire project

    The main benefit besides recycling tires is the warmth they provide, so the down side I see of using feed bags is the loss of heat? Maybe you could combine the two, the feed bags may prevent some contact with the tires, thus decreasing the chemical leeching concerns (I am going to line or put...

    Having trouble uploading pics.

    Oh, I love the Tarantula! I used to have one like it when I was a kid, he was named Hercules, but my mom made me give it to my science class cause I let him out all the time, and he walked down the hallway walls. Freaked her out. I never let my Scorpion out though, she was too fragile. I...

    What's your luxury purchase?

    It's hard for me to single out a luxury purchase for my family any more, because we have gotten to the point, in my opinion, that we have started taking the simple things for granted in my family. I lived day to day for years, sometimes taking my son to a soup kitchen for a meal to keep him...

    He's home!

    I hope he has a good recovery, I am glad he is able to do okay without a lot of chemical support, that is very hard! He sounds very strong, but he should let the meds help him, too. Its what they're for! The body tries to fight back harder if you dont let the meds do their job. It works...

    Anyone in California??

    Thank you for the welcome! I do have a little pygmy goat! She thinks she's too precious to eat the poison oak though. Prefers All Stock and Cob with Molasses. My bad for spoiling her. And I already love her, so it's too late. She lost a baby a few weeks ago, so we're just happy she's...
