A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools. - Douglas Adams

OK...Mines pretty lame. I do bead work. You remember those bead geckos and things? I do that with Gay Pride stuff. I did a two sided triangle for pride, one side was the pink triangle, the other a triangular rainbow. I also did a rainbow bracelet and a PRIDE strip. If I had more beads I could do more, but...yea... :sigh: yea...Nothing compared to the others...

I did a ton of crafting stuff this weekend, including making cards for my mom and my sister for their birthdays, making stencils and then using them to paint my friend's bathroom walls with an Alice in Wonderland theme, and making a decoration for my bathroom wall out of an old metal tray.  The only picture I have handy is of the tray, but once I get pictures from the rest I'll post those too (if they come out - I had to use my cell phone camera which is eiiich...)

My fiancee tells me that I'm the most patient person she's ever met/known, but I'm inclined to disagree when it comes to crafts.

I sure wish I could get into it. I have really, really shaky fingers (just my natural disposition; a lot of people think I'm nervous! I'm not; I just have naturally shaky fingers/hands), and thus I screw up a lot of simple things when it comes to needlework, threading, etc.

Ah, I need to get my aunt to sign up here just so she can chat you all up about crafts, but she's not an atheist nor is she keyboard savvy. :pop:

Nothing wrong with beading  :hide:

Have had too many buyers back out soooo...... they are all still here cheeping their freaking heads off.  Posted them and some nearly egg laying feather dusters on Craigslist this morning,  Hope they sell soon.... have an electric bill to pay.

Having no idea about things, how much would one expect to pay?

Depends on the area, market, bird, age, etc..... anywhere from $1 a chick to $30 a laying hen.  For these the chicks are $2 and $3, the pullets are $10, about average out here.  If they don't sell.... I have a stew pot, for the older ones anyway.

Now does fresh home grown chicken taste like chicken? If not... what does it taste like  :hmm:

If you wanna know what you are eating from the store.... 98% chance it's a type of Cornish Cross
