All the best to you Jack, and to everyone else as well. I hope your bees provide you all with a healthy bounty in 2014.

PS Jack, how many sheets of Rite-Cell had you wished for as a Christmas present again, I forgot?

At our age it's hard to tell, but i think one of us is coming down with Alzheimer's? Seems like i read breathing the smell of plastic may be a link to it.

Jaybird, I knew a lady named Joy. Her favorite was.... "Everybody at the party was feeling merry, but when Mary went home, everybody jumped for Joy".

Gypsi- I've kept three dogs, bees, a bat, fish don't work unless I can eat them, and I have a backyard chock full of birds that I feed all year long, and I keep a little homeless kitty fed down town.... um let's see.. OH! And I've kept a husband for 38 years! But frankly, keeping a dog is easier

Gypsi · « **Reply #14 on:** January 01, 2014, 02:22:40 am »

Well Jaybird, I gave up the husband some years back, he was too expensive. 4 dogs, 3 cats, 17 hens, 3 roosters, feral cat on the front porch, about 24 red winged blackbirds and a dozen or 2 doves at the feeder, 2 hives, one nuc, and my goat got in the chicken feed and died on me, my heart is still broken.

of them all I still think the dogs are easier. Photo is my pup that just turned 1, Still in training but she's doing pretty well, necessary is covered, she starts intermediate next week.

Spent New Year's Eve making candy for my bees. They are pickier eaters than the dogs, but the results are almost good enough for me to eat...

Have you heard that old joke?... the more I see of men, the more I like my dog.

I LOVE DOGS!

And if it weren't for cooking for my man, I would probably have more animals. Sorry about your goat :( But frankly, my man has seasoned into a very nice companion, younger years are always more treacherous in marriages, we have made it thru a lot of 'stuff'. For the most part it's been good.

What breed?breeds is your new dog?

I do get invasions of Starlings in my back yard, which are not native and are raucous as hades. I used to try and pluck them off with the bb gun but they are hard to hit and I got tired of filling my tree trunk with bbs. I put suet out for the flickers and jays, when the starlings come I have to bring it indoors for awhile.

All my dogs are pound puppies. Newest is doberman/german shepherd. One before her, shar pei and german shepherd age 3, one before him, Labrador and something smaller, all black, age 3, one before her, Rottweiler and I think Bernese Mountain Dog, great nature but no one argues with Bronx. when he jumps in my lap the chair scoots across the room.

Got over the goat. Found a pretty piece of land in Arkansas, not trying to keep goats or even more bees here. The advantage to being single, I CAN move if I want. Actually the last 25 mile move is how I got single. He still lives in an area that is becoming a ghetto because he loved the house, so I gave it to him. Lock stock, equity and slab foundation. Gangs no charge.. Got tired of running a crime watch

Can't live like that either. As the years wane by, I crave more and more animals and less and less humans.
