A good hair day


I woke up this morning wishing I could sleep another...month. I have a bad head cold. I was no where near ready to face the week. Jessica needed a shower. Her hair was not only too long, but dirty. She is autistic. They say Einstein was autistic too. You know what his hair looked like. She hates to have her head touched. Did I say hates...I mean REALLY; REALLY HATES to have her head touched!!!! So washing her hair is a traumatic experience (for me). After I washed her hair (wishing to be back in bed) Juergen got the great idea to trim her bangs. I'm remembering last Monday when I got the phone call from Jessica's teacher. A stressed out Jessica bit her teacher and sent her to the hospital. I'm thinking, no this is not a good idea. She is already stressed enough. Juergen does it anyway. I get scratched and pinched. I've got bruises. Jessica goes to school looking pretty good. I guess that mattered to her. She looked good, and laughed all day. She was a treasure at school.

chicken coop idea

Why not start with an IBC and cut a hole for the door? You could build closed laying boxes into it, and something for the chickens to roost on. Put some straw or saw dust on the floor. You could add vents to the side for air. If it sat inside a chicken run that you can walk into, the chickens could be safe, dry and happy. I have an extra IBC. Maybe this could be my chicken house? I bet I could even plant the outside of it with mud and grass for extra insulation and good looks.

The Opel Agilia

I think I don't want to spend the money for the VW New Beetle. It's a very cute and safe car, but cost about 17,000Euros new. I can find it for 13,000Euros (this is the most basic model) but that's more then I would want to spend. I don't really drive that much. I'm pretty cheep at heart. I need real value for my money. I keep thinking we really should take advantage of the money Germany is offering to trade old cars in for 2500Euros towards a new car. If I buy a car that's around 10,000 Euros, then the Government is actually going to pay 25% of the cost of that car. That's really a very good deal. Since I know I will need a new car in the near future, I feel I should get a new 10,000 Euro car. The Opel Agilia is around 9,900 Euros. It's got 5 doors, and room for 5. It is pretty safe, and comes with a 6 year warranty. I would not call it my dream car, but I could easily afford it. I'm trying to be wise here. There are other cars in thi
