let it rain

I can hear a song in my head...the words are " Let it rain, let it rain, open the flood gates of heaven, let rain...open the flood gates of heaven"!!! Today we got a phone call from Philip's teacher. The last time she called (about 4 weeks ago) she told me that Philip was being so bad a kid in school was afraid to even come to school. He was such a bully! He was so bad they had to seat him at a desk alone and away from the other kids. I could go on, but I won't. Today she asked us what happen because he is being so good! I want to cry as I type this. My eyes are full of tears. He started to take Redline for ADHD. And now Philip and Thomas are both down stairs working on crossword puzzles. Thomas is teaching Philip how to spell, but first Philip is trying to do it himself. He is actually sitting there trying to sound words out. Oh God...Thank you!!! Thank you!!!!

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
