Still sick

I just read that the real unemployment rate in the US is : U6 Rate 14.7 Percent, as U3 Falls to 7.8 Percent . That means allot of people just gave up looking. The unemployment rate in Germany is 5.5%- We are doing fine, but so many of my friends and family are unemployed or under employed. This is why I care about this election. I'm still sick. Juergen had a few meetings at work, but was able to come home early to take care of the kids. Thank God he has flex time! I find it funny that women think it's sexist for Romney to say his chief of staff wanted flex time. Anyone with kids needs flex time. My kids will be eating allot of Mc Donald’s and pizza because Juergen does not cook much. My brother is a good cook. I would love to have him around to cook me chicken soup. I think I could keep that down today. The weather looks lovely outside, and it's my God Childs 2nd birthday. I'm sad about what I'm missing being sick. But thank God for a husband that can come home from his super important job and take care of his other super important job.

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
