What do they have in common?????   My past 2 days    We FINALLY have decent weather, so outside we go, we decide to shear the goats,,,,WHAM lice everywhere . Mean time DH is clearing fields with a machete and cuts himself.    Fine bandage that, yes he is up-to-date on his tetanus.... so we continue      Now we are hungry (of course) I'm up to my ears in lice, I clean up, start the gas grill and now I have a blazing grease fire     Ever feel that the great outdoors are to much

Poor dear, but maybe this is one of those days you'll laugh about...sometime in the future?
What a title to a post though! I just had to see what it was!
Hope the next few days are fire-, lice- and cut-free!

I didn't know sheep got lice, guess I've read the aneseptic version of history I have, however, experienced a grease fire (Wow, its really bright out there!) Hope your husband heals soon. Still want to move out of the city...

Oh my goodness....

Wasn't there a chicken that was trying to get in your kitchen window?

Oh, yeah...

That was a different post!

Hope your dear hubby recovers FAST!
And the lice - may that be over soon!

Sending hugs!

We have Angora goats. Angora Lice are common enough, humans don't contract these lice.....Thank you Jesus!!!

After a good nights sleep, I am grateful, it is a beautiful life, well at least it is not boring

Just like a day around my house:
Fire, flesh-wounds and a louse!
I hope you "Rid" them, heal, and douse!
(At least the grill was out' th'house!)

As a witness to this day, I am qualified and compelled to contribute.

You must understand that we did not know that lice are host-specific. So, we had the heeby jeebies all day. I scrubbed my body hard twice and washed my hair three times before I looked up the species.

I have a free card profiling what to look for just in case I ever need to know what human lice look like.

I am itching just writing this. Ugh.

It was a beautiful day and I am grateful for such a friend. What a fantastic lady. She has a vitality and zest for life that will not be squelched by lice, fire or blood.

I must be crazy.

After reading this thread, I STILL want to move to the country and raise sheep.

Not as crazy as I. I was there and yet, I am more passionate about my "compound" than ever.
