I'm just waiting for the rain to ease a tad so I can finish bedding up chickens with clean straw and aubiose, scald out drinkers and fill with fresh water, top up feeders and gritters. |

Hi, I'm the world's worst poster, but I'm working on "it". "It" is the second worst poster, and not a Buddhist, won't say enlightened either, cuz... I don't know. Want a tomato?
Harry is the forum's best poster, but I'm working on him. He has no tomatoes to give.

Hi Still Look,
Hey, that's kind of an odd handle you got there! Maybe it has to do with the stillness? Gotta love the stillness, it's so still. I like to call it ground, the ground of being. But stillness is nothing, nothing at all. So it's like... being and nothingness? Why does that sound familiar? Anywho, I stopped feeding the finches out back. That's what I really wanted to tell you. I stopped feeding them because the rats started to move in, filthy creatures! |

Maligned finches are no more filthy than rats, and as every schoolboy and girl knows, rats are fastidiously clean beings. Interestingly, 'fastidious' from the Latin 'fastidium', ('attentive to detail and accuracy' - don't worry, rats will home in accurately and balance out any overfeeding to finches, and clean your mess up, you can rely on them), originally meant: 'disagreeable, distasteful, loathing' and later 'disgusted with' - as in '...ratty loathes and is disgusted with filth in his whiskers - most disagreeable and distasteful to clean rats everywhere united (tweet tweet). |

They open finches with their thumbs? And 99% of all brown rats carry Weil's disease. I live miles from anywhere and I've never had any problem with raccoons or rats. Good housekeeping, no overfeeding birds, chickens, cats, dogs et al - failsafe. When out walking, I've seen 'em on the move when disturbed by floods though, like they were following an invisible Pied Piper. |

Well, I saw a show the other day that talked about how quickly rats reproduce when they have a food supply. They're worse than rabbits! You can get something like 30,000 little varmints in a month I think, don't exactly recall if that figure is totally accurate though. And once they multiply... uh, they find a lot of security in number by the way, they'll start going for the food in the house. They'll eat up all the food everywhere until it's gone again, until they're starved out. It's a vicious cycle, a vicious cycle I tell you! Samsara incarnate! Did you ever see the movie called BEN? Well they should have called it Sam. |

Did you ever tell me why chicken and lamb meat are also the names of the animals but pork and beef aren't? |

Samsara is a perfume, a strong one. The kind you wear when you're dead. |
