While wearing my cell phone and a walkie-talkie, I do not flip open my phone when my children call me on the radio. I definitely do not try talking and wait for an answer before realizing what’s going on. This has never happened more than once.
While at the dinner table, I am not known for telling my children, “Don’t eat with your mouth full.”
I’m working on growing my own kombucha scoby. SCOBY stands for Symbiotic Colony Of Bacteria and Yeasts. It did not take me a while to figure out that using anti-bacterial soap on my culture jar would inhibit the B part of SCOBY…
We are gardening now, and are working on making compost. Just for the record, no matter what my family says, I have not gone compost crazy. I have not raked piles of leaves for my children to pick up the next day. In planning chore charts, I am not scanning our property, calculating how many 55-gallon drums of organic material I can reasonably expect 9 children to fill in one hour. When the wind blows pine needles before a storm, I do not shout gleefully, “It’s raining compost!”
Check out my other Not Me Monday posts, and some of our family’s humorous moments. How about a surprisingly popular post on an easy way to peel boiled eggs?
I was intrigued to read that you compost AND have chickens . . . or are you just composting yard waste? We don’t live on the farm yet, but I’m already planning ahead . . . and since the chickens are free range, they’re into everything!
We used to throw our food scraps to the chickens, but… we “ran out” of chickens. The raccoons got most of our flock and we ate the last two. So now I’m adding our house “waste” to our yard “waste”.
ROFL! Good ones!
If you need a healthy Kombucha SCOBY just let me know and I would be more than happy to mail you one. I’ve been brewing it for about two years now and always have plenty of SCOBYs around.
LOL! Especially loved the anti-bacterial soap bit!
