Good morning!!!!

[LS Tractor Owner]

Ted, my Wife usually suggests yelping like a hurt litter mate when they bite, then turn your back on them. They'll wonder what they did to offend you, but get the message after a couple of times. Lets them know they're playing too hard.

Great idea! Haven't tried that. Usually just did the stern "NO", and would go back to playing. We will definitely try that, i'll post the result!

It worked for our Golden when she was a puppy

Drew the weather doesn’t both the arm as forgetting about it and using it to lift something over my head

Today is a sick day for me got up at 4:00am with diarrhea that lasted until 10:00am I feel much lighter but weak

This is the usual spot, either under me or the wifey. Second pic is the usual 'spoiling' session.

 

[Buppies]

Beautiful puppy not spoiled is it

 

[LS Tractor Owner]

Just a little, but all of our babies were.

Thought today was just a quick grocery run, which it was. Just remembered that no more trash will fit in the cans.... Now I'm going for a dump run....

Eric; your Ferggie is hiding on the second bend on the right.

Buppies; re the hersey squirts, drink lots of water so you don't get dehydrated.

FIL is back at his house.

Wife not mobile enough to care for him at this moment. His wife will have to take on that responsibility.

Over the last few years, before my wife's surgery, we made it a point to extend offers for them to live in another house on our property.

We just had this discussion again a few weeks ago, as I am unable to assist my wife, daughters and all the parents when we are all 4-6 hours away.

FIL liked the offer, even inquired if he could use the out-buildings, of course I said yes. Nothing. He has a lot of stuff and two houses, in two different states.

He will die between them.

I am at my wits end, and there is nothing I can do about it. So it is...what it is...

Sun is out. Warm. Think I will do the grill.

Hope all stay warm and have are having a good day!

Mike- The best one can do at this time is to arrange home based supports and services and encourage FIL and MIL to agree and let time take its course. SIL needs all the support that she can get. Hang in there all of you. My + thoughts, wishes, and prayers.

I feel your pain, rip. My Wife and I started having that conversation this week regarding her Father.

 

[jbrumberg]

My late Father selectively threw out home based service providers; necessitating my extended 2 month visit to FL. It was a long 2 months, but he finally agreed to move to CT and live with my Sister; not an ideal solution for either party.

PJS- good luck with your FIL.

txdon; anywhere is better than hanging around during a hen party.

It's not too bad, once the hens have established a pecking order.

Rip, sorry about your FIL. Hope for the best, and for things to smooth out.

Everything screws with your glycemic index. If I take prednisone for gout it screws it up, antibiotics, infection, stress, you name it. Mine use to randomly crash, never knew why.

today is the big day.
The worms are in.
Not much to see but sure were zillions of them in that little white bag.
Unlike my vegetables, this is very low maintenance. Nothing to do but feed them some scraps once in awhile.
Was told when they get hungry they start coming to the surface, just like your cat or dog looking for dinner.

The worm poop aka vermiculture castings works its way to the bottom and every several weeks I open the zipper on the bottom which
lets out a controlled amount. Should be great for my small rear raised garden.

I was a planting fool today. Went back this afternoon and planted two more seedling trays. One was another tray of those five pound onions.
Folks will only have to take one of those home...
Now I'm tuckered out.
Running out of planting trays, this worked out well. Hard to believe I planted potatoes in the ground last year Feb 15.
I need to call the place tomorrow where I order them and follow up.

Hellos sent to Larro, he must be planting like mad already in Florida. An avid gardener for sure.
I'm going to have to massage my cabbages to get them as nice as Kyle's daughter's. Mine were much smaller.
Doing things quite differently this year. 4 varieties of cabbage plus I'm using crop covers on the first batch.
I've got two trays of them already almost two inches high.
C'mon Boss, let's get out there!
And bring our coats...
