WOW!!! That is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!! You have some very happy and lucky chicks, and a very lucky wife! I also thoroughly enjoyed reading your story! Really made me chuckle. Great job!

I really love living in our woods. We had to clear out a big section of trees so we could have a nice grassy yard. The pics are just one corner of the yard, and now I can start gardening again and everything won't get eaten by the girls! Had no idea they could dig up a really big rosebush...

We fenced in the back corner of our yard just for the chickens! We lost one to a hawk this February, and they've been locked up in their coop/run a lot since then. Now that we have plenty of tree cover, they can play in their own little yard. Also making some covered A frames for them to hide...

I chose burial. I want my body to be buried, as soon as it can be, but I want a plain casket (like a Jewish one) and as little embalming as possible.

I love this! So glad a pepsi isn't $50 yet.

I agree with the folks who said it's more of a parenting problem. A 2 yr old can't drive themselves to McDonalds and get chicken nuggets. As I learned with both my kids, no healthy child will starve themselves to death just to be stubborn. My older son went an entire day without eating when...

Has anyone ever tried this? I don't really get what a "penny auction" is, and I've read online that some people just love it and others call it a real scam. Opinions? Thanks!

That was a cool little quiz! Too bad I'm not voting for any of the potential candidates. I got Obama.

Thanks for pointing me to this! I don't eat eggs at all, and I shop like someone who is allergic to them, I don't buy anything with eggs (or meat or dairy). The only eggs my kids eat are the ones from my chickens, or from my neighbors chickens. When they slow down laying in the winter, they...

Thanks so much for all the suggestions! We are going to fence off a corner of the yard with a gate for us to go in and out, and put high posts around inside to support a chicken wire cover. I'm also going to try an owl on top of the coop, and hang some mylar strips and old CD's around. Their...

So nice to read a story with a happy ending!!! Good job!
