Though, for me, meat is good, too. I tried going vegetarian, but I just don't like enough meat alternatives to do a healthy job of it.Stephaniehttp://embracingchaos.stephanieallencrist.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8508619860116485212.post-28653907975482539382012-06-16T19:02:25.437-04:002012-06-16T19:02:25.437-04:00Hi Stephanie-once again, blogger is acting funky w...Hi Stephanie-once again, blogger is acting funky with comments...didn't see this till now-although it was supposed to go to my mail..*sigh* <br />Yes-I too have issues with plucking and cleaning...although Omar would be more than happy to do it! I think that because we only have three-and I raised them in my house from chicks-I grew fond of them...And although I am not against meat or poultry eating...I don't really care for it...so I would rather have pets than dinner. :0kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07648854807234137885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8508619860116485212.post-29151283097235989712012-06-14T23:03:01.758-04:002012-06-14T23:03:01.758-04:00I don't know. My biggest problem about raisin...I don't know. My biggest problem about raising chickens for food (other than the whole part where it's not legal in the city) is the plucking and the cleaning, not the naming and the raising. Maybe I've just spent too much time around farmers.<br /><br />I hope Oscar's transition goes better than his IEP sounds. I'm rooting for y'all!

Yes-I have heard of this exact situation..it is a shame..I guess the big question is-how do we change it?<br />@Lizbeth-hee! got two kittens this week! The chickens are named as followed.."Sophia", "Sausage" and "Aunt Dot"..<br />@Jazzygal-I thought that I was pretty clever too!

That's definitely wisdom that comes with age (I refuse to say Old Age!!)<br /><br />Can't believe the attitude of the parents and understand your upset that the evaluations only concentrate on the negatives :-( However YOU and Omar see all (and there are a lot) of positives :-)))<br /><br />xx Jazzyjazzygalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04069218745940412457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8508619860116485212.post-32682949147776041682012-05-12T20:50:47.601-04:002012-05-12T20:50:47.601-04:00Gaw, I read this early this morning and I've b...Gaw, I read this early this morning and I've been trying to get back here to comment all day. Three chickens? You must really love this man. But as long as they're not cat's I think its a pretty square deal....you don't have cats do you??? ;)<br /><br />Anyway, have a good day giving those chickens proper names. You know you're never gonna eat them, right???<br /><br /><br />And totally off topic--I was thinking of you the other day---there was a commercial for a show about people living on the frontier and thought of you for some reason. I think maybe we had talked about how we would die in approximately 30 seconds or something....will have to find out more....Lizbethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03449627964374811836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8508619860116485212.post-83916332872479095792012-05-12T17:52:46.071-04:002012-05-12T17:52:46.071-04:00Hanging out with the chicks as a cure for stress? ...Hanging out with the chicks as a cure for stress?
