* McCain should really be ashamed of himself..... An Antichrist Obama in McCain Ad? 
 
*  I got a message on my social site from a man who is very interesting and I'd like to get to know better.  He's traveled to a lot of the same places as me - even shows a picture of him standing in front of the same Buddha that I have a picture of me in front of!   Problem is that he's 10 years younger than me.  I'm uncomfortable with that.  I wrote him back and said so - and suggested something platonic.  I'll let you know if he writes back.  He'd probably be a great hiking partner.
Update: Nope, he says he wants to "Share Love" - I'm pretty sure I know what that means.... :-)

*  Some of my hens are laying eggs with only the "skin" (I know the right word for this, but I'm too lazy to bring it to the front of my brain) on them. I hope it's just because they are new to laying.  They go on layer mash next week - and I'll be switching out their crushed granite for crushed oyster shells.  That might help too.

The crushed oyster shells should do it :) Usually a few are laid without shells when they first start, but if it happens after that, it is calcium deficiency. I used to feed the dried, crushed shells back to my chooks. Do not feed fresh ones back to them, or they may develop the egg eating habit. This usually only happens of they are not fed properly and do not have enough room, though. Because you let your chooks out for roams, they should also get minerals for the bugs they find and eat.

That guy sounds interesting. I hope you develop a good friendship. I'm with the other - keep an open mind and see what happens! I have a friend whose mother is married to a guy 15 or 20 years younger than herself; Also, one of my brothers married a woman older than him, and they have been married for years!
