Maybe they just wanted to see if she would melt.

We took pictures too in areas they said we could. The oil “tear drops” leaking from the Arizona were amazing. The tour guide and the pre-recorded message on the listening tour specified we were NOT to take pictures and to be quiet out of respect for the dead. That is where I lost my shit (and my husband hid from me).…

As for Pearl Harbor and the Arizona memorial, this is one experience I wish went better. I am seriously the most chill person on the planet, but honestly wanted to punch the Japanese tourists in the neck after they wouldn’t follow the requested “no photos” etiquette and other requests from the tour guides to be quiet…

Haleiwa is awesome and we did manage to surf the North Shore on a calmer day. There are food trucks in town with awesome fresh fish and a crepe truck out of a VW bus that was amazing. We bought local macadamian nut with coconut and chocolate from one of the food trucks and I wish I bought many more as they were our…

I grow my veggies and herbs from seeds. You can get a seed starter greenhouse for $6 and buy seed packs for under $2...I read Kristin Hannah’s book The Winter Garden and was inspired to plany outside before the risk of frost. We have lettuce, broccoli, brussel sprouts, snap peas are already up. The tomatoes,…

She could also close off the vent she shares with this apartment and block it with plywood and caulk around it to lessen the reek.

Add the raccoons and cat colonies and you have the stereotypical crazy cat ladies. This always fascinated me. I love animals and have entirely too many but a family of ‘coons living in a mansion...that crosses the batshit crazy threshold just a bit. Fascinatingly crazy but harmless.

I am a mom of teens now but I remember vividly the feeling of wanting to run out of my house screaming when I physically and mentally could not take it anymore. I was lucky to have sisters that lived nearby that I could call to come over.

My vet is a very close friend of mine (and chicken lover). This is the best suggestion, thank you! We are also putting a word out at the pet store we got him at to see if anyone wants a salmon faverolle roo. I really wish I lived on more land.

My dream was to live on a farm with as many dogs as I could. I didn’t have any career goals or dreams of being *something*. I just wanted to rescue a shitload of dogs!

The other twin appears female (no black feathers or comb yet). I know people eat them for dinner and I honestly don’t judge, but they are the cutest mothercluckers on the planet.

This is what they looked like when we got them- the twins.

My chicken-whisper daughter (who convinced me to add baby chicks to our flock of 7 hens) is beside herself. We got the 5 chicks sexed (they said 90% chance they were female) and we’re pretty sure we have a little roo (salmon faverolle). We live in the ‘burbs and can have hens, but not roosters(noise ordinances). Any…

Container gardens are awesome- you can grow a lettuce garden from seeds, vertical plants like beans, peas brussel sprouts (use sticks/stakesand fishing line to give them support) very easily. We rely on containers more because the chickens and dogs will eat from the beds on the ground. Use good, fertile soil and good…

Maybe vertical gardening against a sunny wall might solve dog issues? There are lots of cool pallet/upcycle ideas to go vertical.  When I first started gardening, we did a raised planter on our small deck and a verical herb garden. We moved to 10 acres(heaven) and lost all of our garden to critters which was highly…

Anyone with the rudeness to call at 3am deserves that response.

Trump needs to pay hush money to Guiliani.

We also got Bo Peep...she has an extra toe and will lay PINK eggs. Squeeeeeee!

Baby brahma is growing like a weed and sprouting the sweetest feathered booties.
