Chit Chat and All That...

[Jcb]

I am doing well, Jcb, thanks.

This thread has given me many chuckles this afternoon, thanks to you and the rest of the "gang."

That's great to hear Emma, hope the winter hasn't been too rough either down in Canada

 

[Jcb]

I wouldn't be shocked if it was me that told you to try it! It's bitter, but if you mix it with a good peppermint/camomile it helps. Or a dab of honey. I just liked that it got me to sleep. Death tea is right though. I chugged it last night without anything and I forgot how bitter it was.

It was an excellent gateway to the franchise. It's been great. Though I think it's a binge worthy one because waiting for the HQ releases has been annoying.

Im sure I have Shera haha from what I remember it was a strong strong taste haha

Are they going to release HD version of the series? Some transfers from standard to HD can be so badly done so if they do I hope it's a good release.

 

[Jcb]

Thanks my man. I really appreciate it same to you!
I guarantee you I will fill your days (& @Star64) on Ttalk with many owls.

I'll hold you to that Marcel Mercury

Once feeding her chickens.....

Bahaha… thankfully, I do not feed the chickens. If I did, it would be exactly like this video!!

Aww... Hope you catch some Zzzz's soon JCB.
Here's a Goodnight Owl for you.

@emmalee Hey, Emma... any new crochet projects?? I have to crochet some baby hats and a new blanket and my hand still hurts..... I need to crochet!!!!!!

 

[Elmer B Fuddled]

Double yolks are so fun! Just keep an eye out for skin eggs. You never realize how dangerous egg laying can be for those girls.

Skin eggs are from lack of calcium oyster shell ground up added to grit.

 

[Star64]

Nice Star, how are things mate?

Like yourself sleep is an issue, it is better than before, but still not great. The weather is still all over the place in Melbourne 43c one day and 18c the next, so I am literally running hot and cold.

I am still on the roller coaster, and hanging on tight...

Anyway, she'll be right mate

 

[Star64]

I am glad I am not owl by myself in being obsessed with owls .

I had a young kookaburra sitting on my back fence earlier this evening, he was not scared at all by my presence but by the time I came inside to grab my phone to take a photo of him he flew off. Hopefully he returns, I could hear him laughing later on.

Meditation is the best way forward brother,
if you want to put the sounds you cannot get rid of on the back burner.....xx

@emmalee Hey, Emma... any new crochet projects?? I have to crochet some baby hats and a new blanket and my hand still hurts..... I need to crochet!!!!!!

So sorry that your hand is not healed yet, Once. Crocheting can be a wonderful diversion, so I understand that you miss it. Here's hoping that your hand will be better very soon.

As for me, I have been making pom moms, lots of pom poms..... Michaels has a lot of crazy colored yarn on sale so I have bought a lot, I love putting bright colored pom poms on the toques that I crochet.

I completely understand, Jcb. Sleep is crucial, especially when dealing with tinnitus. A good night's sleep can make a huge difference in our ability to cope on a day to day basis. Chamomile Tea works pretty well for me, it has a pleasant taste, too.

Ha ha! Very good, Star.

Wonderful creatures.

 

[Shera]

Yep diet. Also, I few of my girls have started early and had trouble. Silkies, I think, tend to have more issues. Especially in the first year.

I had two red silkies who had health problems. Wild had crazy spine issues, but I massaged her neck everyday and she lived to 16. *sniffles* Then her sister lived to 14 and she was constantly having egg troubles. Tons of skin eggs didn't matter how much I micro managed the food. I think certain breeds have issues and I've noticed red silkies and have a ton of issues.

Also, I notice as the my gals hit 8 years and their bodies start to shut off the egg making it's hard on them too.

I think it is HD. Not sure. So far Netflix has released a lot of their content on DVD. Though I'm not sure about their cartoons. I'd hope so. My internet is slow so you can stream or nothing else. That's why our Video rental store in the area is going strong!

43c I'm sweating just thinking about that Star ha think I run on auto pilot most days haha probably the reason for me being so accident prone (that's my excuse anyway)

Roller bloody coaster indeed, a ride nobody wants to ride every day but you are right you will be ok, can't be having my favourite Ozzy not be
