Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

We were very lucky they all went around us. Some very scary moments huddled in my bathroom with the dogs. We have a storm shelter but I was at home alone and could not get to it. So im extra lucky they went a around. Also extra lucky we had prepared 4 a storm. We don't have electricity but I have this smart phone and we have a generator we are using several hours a day for freezer and fridge. We are also able to help some of our neighbors

Good to see you are getting better.
Yeah, I know about that disability planning thing. That's exactly why I knew I had to retire and get rid of the animals. Better to do it now when it was a conscious decision and able to do it on my terms rather than when I or Connie were laid up in a hospital. My wake up call was when I got appendicitis during egg laying season. I took the hint....
Of course, I still need to come up with a contingency plan for this site and my others if I should kick the bucket suddenly...

Glad to hear everything is OK, Cheryl. I'm wondering about preparedness and routine for the livestock when a storm is coming in your area. I would assume probably isn't to much one can do. Might make a interesting thread if a topic was started on it. I have received a lot mixed messages particularly when it comes to horses. For instance, I have talked to several people in South Alabama and Florida that say they turn their horses out (if they aren't packing up and leaving) when a hurricane is coming. They feel it's safer than stabling. Others stating the opposite. I have heard horror stories from those that have done both. I guess there is no stats on it one way or another.

My guess is they turn them out so they have a fighting chance.

That's what we do. We leave the barns open and the animals choose where they want to be. If its. Bad they usually are down in the woods on the back of the pasture
