Latest moan from you and me - 2016

I think I am sorted Now where are those slugs??

 

Facebook not allowing you to use an old password so you don't have to keep re-inventing new ones....

I don't use it very often but some of my relatives ask me to check in from time to time and this password nonsense gets my goat....

 

Tried that and it said "This is too similar to a password used in the past" :(

 

There'E="shiney, post: 1002495, member: 1458"]Reverse it? [/QUOTE]

there is a good idea. How about 1radar1?

Just teasing, reversing the password is a good suggestion. Will do that right now. Thank you!

 

I'm actually quite cross . As you all know I keep a few hens in the garden, they are just a little hobby which I really enjoy, to me the eggs are a bonus, I mainly keep them because they have such wonderful characters!
Anyway before GC I was on a hen forum, I enjoyed it BUT it was mainly all women who I felt sometimes gave very strong opinions & wouldn't see things from others points of view. When I stupidly joined Facebook, a few of the girls sent me friend requests which I accepted. There's a small group of us on messenger who keep in touch which I enjoy most of the time, when their hens get crook they have them implanted to stop them laying, I don't personally agree with this because it can make the hen depressed, changes their personality & each implant costs approx £90 & lasts 1-5 months then have to be implanted again! let me just say it's not about the money it's about changing the personality of the hen & messing with nature.
They are all either vegetarian or vegan which is fine with me, I'm not vegetarian or vegan BUT I totally respect those who are.
I've been left to feel rather snubbed by the group & made to feel like I'm wrong for not implanting/not being vegetarian or vegan, I've not made any comment to them about whether they are wrong or right to implant/be vegetarian or vegan I've supported them & tried to give them advice when I've had the knowledge to do so. So my moan is why cant people agree to disagree & why do people have to judge others all the time? People I know do things which I disagree with all the time BUT I wouldn't tell them they are right or wrong or make them feel horrid. Gggrrrr! Rant over...sorry but I had to get that off my chest!

 

@Becky76 just looked up what one of those implants is.

Even humans have their personality effected when intaking hormones. I was so sweet and nice when I was on my estrogen..... now.... sorry, must find my broom as I need to go out

But seriously, I don't know why anyone would do this to a hen...

 

Have to say I'm baffled by it myself
I've kept hens for quite some time now and I love each and every one of them. They are hen-friends: treated with respect, cared for, enjoyed for their antics, eggs, laughs and memories they give us; plus, we go through our own little grieving process when they leave for the big coop in the sky. But, they are hen-friends

 

We've had a life time of being made to feel like moo/dog poo, i used to say our bit and and wait for the insults, now i couldn't care a toss about the people that made us feel like poo, we now keep ourselfs to ourselfs and just do what we want do to, there more than one way to skin a cat (no harm to cats) we made a life changing dession and that got a lot of the moo poo'ers talking then the moo poo'ers were thinking we must be missing something, there were

 

Thank you @wiseowl @shiney @CanadianLori @"M" @Jiffy for your kind words

@"M" like you I love every single hen I've ever had & when they get poorly I do everything I can to make them better but you have to be realistic, I'm pleased we can both see this from the same point of view but most of all it's nice that no one is implying that I'm a dreadful woman who should implant my hens & make them depressed!

Best I take a leaf out of your book @Jiffy & keep myself to myself .

 

You must do what's right for you and your family and not take any notice of some people, there's alot of people out there which are, don't do as i do, but do as i say,
