Things you wish you could say

When our dishwasher finally bites the dust, I will probably be the dishwasher, and I WILL NOT HAVE AN APP!

However, I will work better if you give me chocolate every now and then.

Like the "free" apps that make you pay for more features?

Well, I cook and clean and do laundry too. And take care of chickens, and walk the dog, and work in the garden. And I sing!

I kinda wish people would read a book, magazine or posts BEFORE buying chicks. Have an idea of what you need to do first. The public library was my first source for learning about chickens. BYC was just getting started. Yes, I am old.

I wish I could say this isn't the weather for the next week

I wish that was my forecast I can’t remember the last time it got down into the 50s at night.

I would also add look up the breeds they're considering, even if it's just a quick search to see what their temperament is usually like, how well they'll do in their climate, their productivity and if they have any special consideration people would save themselves a lot of trouble. Sure, every chicken is an individual but knowing if a breed tends towards flightiness if they want a docile breed or if a breed doesn't bear confinement well if they can't free range is very good to know beforehand

No one is going to read your page-long rambling-without paragraphs diatribe. I got about 1/4 the way down and realized there wasn't any spacing for paragraphs, or were there any paragraphs to begin with? My brain went numb after that. Do they teach writing anymore?

Apparently not. Because first they would have to teach a skill called Reading. I think some of these nearly unreadable posts are actually Talk-to-text and that's why they totally lack such basic punctuation as commas, periods, capital letters and any kind of recognizable sentence structure. I despair when trying to make sense out of some of them, especially if there is obviously a chicken suffering at the heart of them.

I work with a 25 year old kid who talks like one of those run-on posts. He takes a breath every 3rd or 4th word, ends all sentences with a rise in pitch, like he's asking a question? Every time he stops? But speaks in a monotone the rest of the time. I find it very hard to understand him in a noisy industrial environment. And when things get slow, his face is firmly planted in his phone with earbuds in both ears. I don't know how he walks around without falling flat.

is just an online tantrum.
If you're gonna act like a toddler, go put on some pull-ups.
