well, you got my number, i got yours, LOL! :lol: :lol: :lol:

about hip hoppa laws:
regular doctors go by the hippa laws here in the states, so the hip hoppa laws are for the funny farm! :wink:

Gotcha - like in the hippocratic oath?!

Yeah you got me 'bang to rights' - my farm is really funny and I wouldn't have it any other way! :D :wink:

Spoke to a friend this evening and she's bottle rearing a lamb who is completely bald! Going to see him next week! They've named him Thomas - should really be Kojak! :lol:

um, why is he bald? :shock: he needs a hat poor thing. :)

the hippa (sp) law is this:

when you go to the doctor all your info is privacy protected unless you're a minor child. that means that without written permission a husband cannot be told about a wife, a mother cannot be told about an over-18-yr-old child, etc.

in the case of a minor child or a parent for which you are the care-giver, you may be told their medical and/or mental condition so that you may make decisions for them.

i believe this is true in all states now. not sure.

He's bald ALL OVER!!! Apparently its his breed and his fleece will grow in a few weeks - at least that's what the lady she got him from told her!

But he's toasty warm because he's living in her kitchen! She is a dear friend but ever so slightly nutty where animals are concerned! (Dare I say, worse than me!)

PS When I go see him, I'll post a pic!

welcome to the farm K. they treat us real well. on wednesdays we get crayons. been waiting two hours. must be in high demand today. :wink:

I think it's the same in the UK. Not sure about France though!

aww, bet he is cute!
lamb Thomas.
better than lamb - chops, lol.
Only lamb chop I ever knew belonged to Sherry Lewis.
I could never eat a pet. Is a chook, a chicken from a coup?

Wow, crayons! Can't wait! :lol: :lol: :lol:

PS Good here, isn't it! :wink:

You maybe don't want to know but he is destined for the freezer!

But he'll have a very good life as long as he's around.

K x

what do they feed you guys in that neighbor hood?

it seems as though you're all a little.....uhmmm....what is that word i'm looking for? strange? odd?

oh, sorry to hear that. Ever seen Babe?
Thomas, don't get round, don't get round Thomas...you'll go to the freezer like my hubby is.
(my nickname IRL is Squirrelly. :) Always said, hubby was going to go first and I was going to put him in freezer. :shock: You know, the way men say women just never stop talking etc :roll: ....so I can go visit him anytime.... :lol:
one time he brought me a cartoon. Had a Mrs. Squirrell in her kitchen being led away by police. :shock: Freezer door was open behind her, with her hubby all stuffed in there in a block of ice...Cop said, "Now don't give us that, he-was-just-hibernatng-story!) :wink:
I kept it. It was a real hoot around here. :lol: (sorry, Thomas, I said the 'round word again) :oops: :mrgreen: :D

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Yes I have seen Babe and it could NEARLY turn me veggie - but not quite!

K x

oh, butterfly wing, k is not going to eat Thomas.
Here on farm, we only eat with spoons. Would be real difficult to eat lamb that way. :wink:

but will thomas eat k?

you know, the dogs, cats chickens and lambs could surround her and........


oooooh, k.


we'll miss you! :cry: :cry: :cry:

:lol: :lol: :lol:

(Not if he's real tender! :wink: )

I'll leave you guys my stash to remember me by! :D

CAN ANYONE BELIEVE WHERE THE STRING QUILT HAS TAKEN US?

all the way to a funny farm where the french animals eat the owners with spoons and the doctors can't tell us the condition of the chicken's poop.

next time, k, leave your scraps messy.

SCRAPS, STASH????? (that's how I got in here,...farm...)
"oh, Thomas...here lambie, lambie, lambie,...just look at my watch and relax...k tastes good, k tastes good.... :wink:

Thanks for the laughs, guys, beats laughing at nothing which is what we usually do down on the farm!

Yes Izy, since I joined the board, I really feel like I've come home! :D

K x

Just thought if we get in trouble for digressing off topic...suppose we could say we just stringing it along.......... :roll: Yeah ok...thats bad :oops:

You said it Izy - only been here a couple of weeks and already got a thread locked! :oops:

K x

No worries, I have had my hands slapped alittle now and then....it's character building :lol:

Absolutely - love to be a rebel! :wink:

f you all only served here, i could stay all day!

ew, ew, ew,....they got "thread " police here? lol....I better hide and watch...digressing off topic....boy am I in trouble on this board...comes quite natural to me...but, officer, the question is...am I the leader or the follower? (batting lashes)...no, I don't have anything in my eye, why do you ask? :?

but your honor...having some harmless fun, is what makes for good quilting. Gonna do one of them string quilts myself...right after I finish princess quilt, care bear quilt, castle quilt, fishy quilt...make a dress and jacket....oh, ticket for talking too much in public...but, but.......bring my stash to the poky y'all....

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Hey, my string quilt's still waiting on the batting! (attempt to fool the mods that we're still on topic!)

K x

I am so anxious to be done with ugh, "Princess quilt"...although it is for a cutie pie..and she has seen it...she likes it very much...I can't wait to do something that comes out straight.
I had to improvise with this one, bc panels got stretched early on, I guess, and I didn't know. Was looking good to me, till I tried to put rows together.
I can make clothes all day long, but this has been a learning experience. Next quilt is definitely going to be done by a pattern. Let it be somebody else's fault, lol! I feel like just hopping off schedule and making a string quilt just to soothe myself that I can do something that's not all whopperjawed and wonky. Not that I think any of it is easy. I digress, shh! :wink:

My string quilt is really whopperjawed and wonky but my son loves it anyway - you have such a great way with words! :D
