    Chicken problem AGAIN

    A very popular breed for those in to self sufficiency is the Hyline Brown. They're prolific egg layers - at first. They'll lay every day for about 3 years and they don't seem to have an off season, but then they stop laying while they're still young enough to be good eating. And a tip about...

    Does anyone else dislike how short modern TV shows are compared to how long they take to get released?

    Another big issue from a foreign point of view is a trend in US produced shows that has gotten progressively worse and worse over the last few decades. The amount of screen time wasted on nonsense instead of actual program. To start with look at the difference in time spent on a program's...

    Chicken problem AGAIN

    Just an extra idea - stopping the chooks from scratching out all your garden beds is quite easy. I also grew up with a chook pen in one corner of the yard. :) Lay some wire mesh down over the garden beds, plants can grow through the mesh but animals can't scratch away at them. This is often...

    Chicken problem AGAIN

    I had a similar idea but not quite so drastic. In rural hardware stores you can buy a plastic egg for a few pennies. These are used to let the chooks know where they're supposed to lay, they'll lay where ever they see another egg. So make a little box in the corner of your yard for them to lay...

    Delayed understanding?

    I think you're talking about Audio Processing Disorder. The short explanation is that it takes us longer to process sounds in to thoughts, and thoughts in to sounds. This affects many of us to varying degrees, me included. I'm fine talking to one person, I can handle two people at once pretty...

    Going Places

    I couldn't wait to be able to drive, and I started stealing Mum's car when the parents were out and driving it around the block at age 13. Yes, manual transmission, automatics were never all that common here until recently. It didn't take long for my parents to realise this of course, and my...

    Are You Eccentric?

    I'm similar in abilities, I never had to write a phone number down but soon discovered that I need to write it down anyway otherwise people think you're not taking them seriously and that you're just fobbing them off. I'm the same with names and faces too, completely hopeless there. One trick I...

    Xinyta's Vinyl Collection

    Nice collection, needs a little Cold Chisel though. :) Not sure how well you'll go finding them in the US though, like many Aussie bands they tried to break in to the US market but US record companies insisted that they change their sound to suit what they wanted to sell to the US market. And...

    Are You Eccentric?

    People often described me as eccentric but it's about my social mannerisms rather than the way I dress. I actually hate getting dressed up and if at all possible I prefer to be barefoot. I hate attending social events in restaurants and hotels more so for this reason than because of all the...

    Cyclone Fina is just starting to really affect Darwin now and the eye will pass close to Darwin Harbour in the next 6 or so hours. Someone was interviewing local residents doing a bit of last minute shopping this morning and the different attitudes made me smile. People new to the region are...

    They are gentle but they're also known to have very short tempers. They're rodents so if one bites you it's going to be nasty, but at least we don't have all the nasty diseases here that the rest of the world does.

    I get no respect for things I'm an expert in with my family

    Personally I think you should be happy that your mother chose them and not you and that you should try to distance yourself a bit and leave them to it. I watched my mother go through all of this with her siblings and it wrecked her emotionally, in the end she gave up and left them to it for the...

    Going Places

    I live in a city that has good cheap public transport and I tried doing without a car for a few years. It's fine as long as you enjoy being trapped in a city and never want to see anything different.
