Hey there EM,
Not often I'm called sweet, haha. I try to be aware and considerate, in the right company. You haven't done that to me, by the way, we're all good.
I've heard good things about colloidal silver, I wonder if that's a big factor in your dear chicken perking up. All the love and attention isn't going astray, I'm sure. Sounds like you've got everything well planned for her ongoing care. How is she doing today?
I suspect you'd get a kick out of the antics of my two puffballs. I use pseudonyms for them on the forums, my birds are hands down the most identifiable things about me - Sir Pecksalot, my eldest and Mr Feisty, the youngest. My partner will often get up before me, and bring Sir Pecks to me in bed. Sir Pecks is far and away the more social of my birds, and will snuggle in (sometimes under the doona) with me. Or he'll be in full mischeif mode, marching about the bed and me (he will happily walk on my face), hopping onto my bedside table and pecking things onto the floor. It's quite a way to wake up. Much less common for Mr Feisty to snuggle in bed with me, but it has been known to happen.
I wholeheartedly agree with you about inequity. Though that said I think we have a better than average chance of rising from it in Australia - I started with nothing, have mostly run on a single part-time income and own my own home, was even a landlord for a while. Information is freely available to make the most of what we have, it's a matter of critical thinking to make sense of it. I'll have to look into The Barefoot Investor.
No, I didn't know about Community Loans. Will definitely look into that, thank you.
I was renting and in the worst financial shape of my life at the end of the GFC. It was actually Ruddcash that kicked off my complete turnaround in financial management, it was the leg-up into my debt resolution I needed, and I changed everything from there.
Best of luck with the cabin!
Thanks, I'm enjoying the threads, though it's a little exhausting to keep up with. Everyone's contributions have been great. 🙂 I do try and just say I'm having a time out when I'm not up to replying for a while.
Loving the decorating talk (that goes for Sleepy, too), you guys made me smile. I have a black and forest green theme through my house and I love it. I hung black curtains as soon as I moved in. Most of my furniture is black or dark wood, and I have green throws, towels and doona cover. Amazing how they transformed the place.
Blue.
