        Cross post again Sam

        Yes, I do have a heat lamp for the chickies. They are in my well insulated garage right now so it stays warm for them. I will most likely be moving them out to the chicken house this weekend. I have an area in there sectioned off for them - don't trust the older girls with them

            MAE All, just a quick check in from me. It's good to be done with the week. I'm tired.

            I'll be heading up to PA this weekend to see my aunt and one of my sisters and visit my mom's grave. It's in a beautiful place call Chester Springs. Lav will know where that is. It will be nice to get away for a little bit.

            I still have tons of paperwork to do, including more for the rental property. I have to get an inspection and a certificate of occupancy, etc., etc. Pain in the ass. Apparently tenants can't read, because they are wondering about things to be fixed, when I sent them a schedule of the things that need to be fixed and WHEN they would be fixed with the lease. Now they want a dog, too. LOL Anyway, I'm sure they are nice people, and I am just gun shy.

            I think I am going to just go to bed early tonight.

            Mick, I will have to look through my computer for some funny little known facts that I can add to your interesting list of things-one-must-know. I enjoyed learning those things, although frankly, I can only remember that sharks are the only fish that can blink both eyes at this point, oh and something about typing.

            Lav, I admire your keeping up with curves so well. I must get myself back on track!

            Sorry about your phone adventures, Pauly. I hope you get used to your new phone quickly.

            It sounds like you will have an interesting weekend down on the farm, Sam. You should have good weather for it. Enjoy.

            HUgs to all posters and lurkers.

              heyo from home dear ABerooooooos!

              yay! I'm home

              Pauly, I've dropped my fair share of phones in the can myself! sorry.

              Mick, this ballistic workshop entailed shooting various duty loads through barrier materials (windshield glass, etc) then into tissue simulant. the rounds are then measured for penetration, expansion and retained weight. fun stuff for weapon geeks like me

              so happy I get to be home this weekend. yay again!

              chicken dance party at Lavs tonight!

              where are the regular crew? must be a busy Friday all around.

              well, off to continue unpacking

              be well

                  Hey Chrysa, glad you are here! It took me the longest time to figure out the MAE, but realized there are many who are very different time zones... Morning, Afternoon, Evening
                  You must join us for coffee in the morning.

                      Good evening kids,

                      Welcome back Chrysa, glad to have you here with us
                      Yes - Mick is our resident genius & standup comic :H

                      Hi Det, glad you are home for the weekend!
                      Grab your dancing shoes - the chickens start early :H

                      YahYah, I can't believe you are going to be so close tomorrow. I'm heading out to a craft show in Wilmington then on to a birthday party for YB's aunt in Havertown. My feathered friends will have to do without me tomorrow. One of these days I'll actually catch up with you. I hope your days goes well for you.

                      pauly, just so you know - iPhones don't swim

                        Like I should not have seen that coming.....up all night ill....and on my deathbed today.

                        Like any good mother I pulled myself together to get to my kid's school party tonight. I ended up overhearing a rather interesting conversation. Man 1 is bragging that he brought a flask to the event to Man 2.....who is bragging he has a fridge full of beer to drink when he gets home. What struck me the most...two grown men...sounding so juvenile.

                        Got home and opened FB....and there a friend posts her chilled glass of wine.......which almost instantly gets 30 likes.....and 15 replies "can I come over?"

                        For me.....it was surreal, as I have come to view it as a drug. One glass or 10.....alkie or not....people ultimately drink it for its drug like effect. So in a way.....it was as if they were talking about taking drugs at a school event or posting about taking drugs...and everyone cheering 'em on.

                        Guess I've been living in my little secluded AF world for awhile While all this chatter is considered normal.....its just not normal to me anymore.

                          Sunflower I can relate. like we are walking a parallel world in some ways. It's comforting to know we can indeed grow into a new 'normal'
