Stranger things have happened.

Barn time yesterday was nice with nary a chicken to be found, except for the itty bitty ones in a tub with a light because they are babies.  They aren't much bigger than my two thumbs put together, so they are okay.  It's the big white chicken that hates me.

The horses were goofy, though.  One wouldn't pick up her right front hoof for me to clean it, so we got into a leaning contest.  Four of them tried to untie the lead rope they were tied with while I was grooming them.  One hadn't rolled in pee like he usually does.  One had mud dreads.  I will attribute all of that silliness to the full moon.

I received in my inbox a message about my documenting of the house build going on.  Evidently, the company who is building it wants to feature some of the pictures on their social media.  I suppose that's a good thing, even though the camera in my phone isn't all that great.  Stranger things have happened, go figure.  Inadvertent photography being publicated (Yes, my own made up word.) and yet when I try to intentionally get my novel length fics published, nothing happens.  Wtf?

Today, I made toothpaste again.  That's always fun.

The other day, I decided on what things I would give a quiz on regarding beta reading/editing, if I was ever in charge of looking for people who could beta read or edit.


Who and Whom
Who's and Whose
A and An
I and Me
Which is not an article?  A, An, The, It
Me, I, Myself, Mine 
Abstract Nouns
Then and Than
Accept and Except
Wither, Whether, Weather
Sale and Sell
That and Which
There and Their
To, too, and two
Weary and Wary
Were, we're, wear, where

Yes, I would definitely find those very fun to toss at someone to see if they knew their shit about this shit, just because.

And now, I think it's time for either some strawberry cobbler or white wine.

Thank you. I apologize for the lack of a reply to the comment/s you have left, however every time I attempt to reply to a comment someone has left, blogger eats my reply. This is something I have yet to figure out how to fix. Thank you for your time.
