Reply to Why do poultry producers kill their stock when they get bird flu, rather than keeping survivors to reproduce? by poorbill
It is next to impossible to clean out the housing sufficiently, which is why you can't get new birds in the same place. 120 days empty, IIRC. The extra frustrating thing is it comes in from wild birds, even to places with birds housed indoors only, not outside areas.

Older dudette here. Flabby armed (hence not the best at digging for in-ground posts...).
I think I will probably try the heavy-duty hangars. I have hung pictures and a heavy antique mirror using wildly oversized picture hangers, and those have ridden through earthquakes, so maybe I'll succeed with that outside too!

Oh, and I'm bookmarking that site! Thank you. It says heavy duty wall anchors and screws (fine) but also says I STILL need to find the studs??

I even have a post hole digger! However, I have horribly rocky ground, and I'm pretty sure the blades would bend or break if I tried to use them. I've been using one of those garden claws to break into the soil, and taking 4-6 iterations to get down to nearly a foot. I'm bordering my driveway with all the rocks and baby boulders I pull out of the ground when I garden.

Don't care about the booze, I can easily pour my own. But I'd like the round ice!

Reply to My mom has my baby teeth saved by Luffewaffle
Mine saved mine too. MIL even gave me a little sterling case to hold our baby's teeth. Yuck. I never used the case from MIL, and when I moved mom into assisted living, I dumped all my teeth and baby hair. Maybe it was a 'thing' in the 50's and 60's? I have no idea, but I did NOT save any of my kids teeth...
