Had to compress 5 bookcase into 3 because that's all that would fit into the new house. Gave away all my complete collections of Sci-Fi and mysteries to friends who loved those authors as much as I did. Kept all the non-fiction. They will never leave my side.Lesleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00482023021964648908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2730310750864966773.post-11079902551581667072012-02-18T22:39:43.875-08:002012-02-18T22:39:43.875-08:00I do know you mean about books.

It was an epiphany. I suspect that it is very much a cultural part of being an American. Endings are HARD. The other part of the book said that "the pain we know is far less frightening than the pain we don't..." It is big and scary out there and you're out there all alone. But scary means you're growing and growing is good. Some days will be very, very hard, some days will be better and yes, through time you, Luci, will grow and change and blossom in ways you never dreamed of and it will be very, very good.Earin Marybirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11666023551102573635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2730310750864966773.post-76003877551961927182011-05-29T07:40:20.834-07:002011-05-29T07:40:20.834-07:00sending you some warm fuzzle fraggle hugs!sending you some warm fuzzle fraggle hugs!woolydaisyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12213217640973672202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2730310750864966773.post-26423332076662795022011-05-29T00:05:32.157-07:002011-05-29T00:05:32.157-07:00Hug.

You'll want a small blade like a scalpel to make this relatively small cut without cutting into the spinal cord, though that is preferable to cutting the windpipe/crop.Lucihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06198014141555869921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2730310750864966773.post-8921260420663536872010-12-18T15:33:11.485-08:002010-12-18T15:33:11.485-08:00I'm in the same situation, with 4 roosters and...I'm in the same situation, with 4 roosters and am looking to butcher my first chicken.

DH said he felt a little queasy putting the chicken in the pot, but I poked the leg sticking out and mumbled something like, "That's right, you're in the pot."
