I missed this!

Help! Fourth attempt at posting - can anyone hear me?

OMG, the street I grew up on (from 8 to 18) has made the 'latest' news on Yahoo. It has changed so much! It was a family area when I was there, you know the kind of thing - push bikes being ridden up and down the street on Xmas morning etc. Mum moved in 2000 because it was getting too rough. These days it seems like it is more than rough, it is downright dangerous. Very sad.

Yoo Hoo Judy! Are you out there???? Heidi must have blocked you so she could steal the TOPP.

Yikes, all my amusing anecdotes and sharp witticisms lost in cyberspace! Is anyone else having trouble posting? (And no, you can't prove they weren't brilliant, 'cos they're GONE!)

That's right.... blame it on me. I was hoping for some competition for a change.

Emails gone, lots of MB of them. None to you guys, sorry! Flat Stanley and a math exam...

I'm off now to check out what Ebob is up to. I think the neighbour has come over to straighten her hair.

Byeeee

Suzy, I would NEVER accuse Heidi of sabotage! (I can't run fast enough!!!)

Wasn't Gail around near the end of the last page? Did she break SA8 already?

Plus, I can hit moving targets.

Need to do a cow check before dark (5 minutes).

Heidi, remember, I can't run in a straight line!

Heidi! I resemble that remark!!!

RAIN RAIN GO AWAY!

It has rained steadily for hours. we have had over 3 inches of rain. I have a sheet of water running across my entire back yard. We are on a hill, so it is not standing, just flowing past. I am sure the 2 creeks we must cross to get to the main road will be out of their banks soon, if they are not out already.

No end in sight for the rain and thunder, on through tomorrow night, when it will turn to SNOW! some weather!

Al came in and woke me from a lovely nap this afternoon to tell me there was a tornado warning for our county and I should come out to the dome. Yes, there was a warning for very far south of our county, no danger here, and no damage to the area of the warning. I went to the dome and got in his old recliner and dozed a while till the warning was lifted.

Now I should go and make cornbread. Hubby has happily agreed having the rest of the lunch vegetable soup is a good idea, especially if I make some cornbread to go with. Easy enough dinner.

Hope no one is having any worse weather problems than we are, nothing serious here, just annoying.

Catch you later, Hugs

WHOA! 8 pages!

Hello, wonderful SA8 friends! Guess I'll have a LOT of reading to do when I get more access to a computer. I just wanted to pop in today and say Hello and Have a wonderful day! The best of everything to you all!

I just made a nasty discovery. I was patrolling behind the barn, while the sheep were eating, 'cause I heard a lamb crying back there. I figured that it was a newborn and mama lad left it to get a bite to eat. Figuring this for a good opportunity to tag it, I walked back there. Mama hadn't left it. She was laying dead next to her crying lamb. I now have a bottle lamb.

I just discovered that I have no soda bottles in the house. I'm gonna have to drive to the nearest convenience store for one.

Hello again. I've got 2 soda bottles (20 oz). They make great bottles for lambs. I have some nipples called Prichard Teats, that screw onto the top of a soda bottle. 25 cents each. I already had some lamb milk replacer in stock.

That's a sad thing Heidi - will you have to get Mama checked to see what happened to her? :(

Probably not. That would mean a 2 hour drive, each way, to the Diagnostic lab.

Heidi had a little lamb.
It's fleece was white as snow.
Everywhere that Heidi went,
That lamb was sure to go.

Sorry to hear about your sheep Heidi, but I had a giggle thinking of you as "mama lamb"

This lamb IS white, too. I'll get him started on a bottle and sell him. Bottle lambs can be pests.

I am sure that a lamb can be a pest, but they are sooooo cuuuuute.

I agree with that.

Hubby is coming up to watch tv so I am going to say good night now. I will catch up with y'all tomorrow.

Ok Heidi, only 13 more for the next TOPP. I am leaving now so you can have it all to yourself.

Heidi, what do you use for lambs milk replacement. when I was on the farm, it seems they used dried goats milk as the base for replacement formula for most anything. I know they fed a calf with it. I helped feed pups with a formula mixed from goats milk (registered mama dog had a huge litter and was refusing the smallest 2 till we started giving all of them supplemental bottles to help out). when Al found a tiny little kitten abandoned (people next door moved off taking the momma cat) he went for goats milk after I looked up the formula for kitten formula. We added egg for protein, forget if it was egg whites or egg yolks, one or the other, not a whole egg. (egg yolks, I looked it up again) Goats milk seemed very useful in feeding other animals.

Nice little verse Tami.

Back to work for me here, putting some UnderCoverWear onto ebay to sell.
Oh some good news, Kira is coming home from the hospital tomorrow. She is 6 weeks old today.
Her original birth date was 21st March.
She now weighs 2.4kl. I am looking forward to having a nurse. We will see her tomorrow night.

Hi MizT. Is it still wet there?

VIV, still wet, still raining, and will rain all night tonight and most of the day tomorrow. wish I could send our excess to all you down under who need it!

Great news that Kira is coming home. three weeks before her due date is really good, she must be catching up fast.

Changed my avatar. I could use some sunshine. This may be the only way i will get it for a while!

Yes Kira is apparently doing really well.
She is on bottle formula now. I only have to make the crochet ties to put through the bootees I knitted for her so must make that my next job.
Well after the ironing and trying to get some more things onto ebay.

That's great news VViv! Give Kira and her mother a hug from me.

I just buy a commercial lamb milk replacer. It works just fine, and is easier than milking a stupid goat.

Just finished the first soda. I'll head out in about an hour to geed the little bugger. That'll help him get through the night.

You people are making it too easy.
