Almost disturbing when you're not. Met a woman recently who I'd already decided I didn't like. I was completely wrong. Couldn't have been more pleasant if she gave me lemon meringue pie. It messed with me for days. On second thought, the pie wouldn't have hurt things. It’s a symptom of being right far too often. Almost disturbing when you’re not.

I feed them twice a day. They are happy & free. Like yours, mine are freeloaders. They don't participate. Every day I talk to them and let them know that I give them food & water, so they should give me eggs as rent for occupying part of my yard and destroying my flowerbeds. I guess they are just like some people (stupers). Keli, I live in a little ranch; I have 2 chickens.

Jumping to conclusions, rash judgements, preconceived notions, are a human problem that stupers take to the limit. But I do think it is human to think in this way to some degree. As we grow, we learn how things work. Then we use that knowledge to make predictions in similar situations. The problem is that there are always exceptions to the rule. Things don't always go according to our predictions. That is precisely where our intelligence should kick in. Nice reminder, Keli! Isn’t that the truth!

I find that hard to believe! Maybe because it was a pair of hens? You know what they say about 2 heads! Anyway, thanks for the reminder to take the time to consider our thoughts before reaching any conclusions. You were outsmarted by a chicken? I find that hard to believe!
