Updates... Chickens, Winnings, and EntreCard Drops

Just a few updates I wanted to add. First, the chicken pick up went OK. There was a delay of a few hours because they couldn't get trailers here to carry the chickens away in. I am not sure how they run that company. They know how many chickens I have, they know how many trailers they will need, they know when they need them, they know how long it takes to pick them up and to drive them to the plant, yet they still mess it up. On the good side though, they picked them up, and I now await my fate in knowing how much they weighed. I guess that could be good or bad. we will have to see how it goes. Either way, I will be better off than the poor chickens. 

Next, I wanted to report that I was a winner of a give away at From Melissa's Desk!!  I was one of three winners of the Pillsbury "Home is Calling" gift baskets. It was my first time winning a give away, and I was so excited. Anything that involves food definitely works for me. Melissa always seems to have a give away going over there on her site. I hate to do this, because it lowers my chances of winning them when more people enter, but in this case, sine I already won a prize, I recommend everyone stop over there and enter as many of her givaways as you can. Seriously, who doesn't like free stuff? And all you usually have to do is comment on the post with the give away and you are entered. You can't beat that kind of a deal. So, click the link, and go there, enter a give away, and then come right back to finish reading this post. I'll hold your spot. 

OK, welcome back. Finally, I wanted to point out the EntreCard drop link on my sidebar. If you are an EntreCard Dropper and want to quickly find some good sites to drop on then you can use my list. It is under the Pages section on the far right column. I am making it nice and easy by creating a list of links to people I typically drop on. They are people who return my drops, so they will most likely drop back on you as well, and that is what we all want, right? As you can see the list is not at 300 yet, but it is growing daily. I added people I found in my Inbox each day, but due to time limitations at the end of the flock, I didn't get everyone that dropped on me added to the list. I will keep adding to it. If your site is not on the list and you are an EntreCard member who wants to be on my daily dropping list, then just comment on this post and I will add you. 

Once the list hits 300 though, I will probably be more picky of who is on the list. I'll worry about that when I come to it. So far though the list is people who are active droppers, and I like that part. I would appreciate any input from people who would like to use the list. If you see duplicates let me know so I have a true count. If I missed someone who you think should be on the list let me know, and don't be shy. I just have so much time and limited brain power in the evenings when I tend to work on the site. I miss things all the time. And the higher he quality the sites on the list are the more fun it is for me to go through and read the new posts when I stop by. I guess I should also say that if you are listed on the page and are offended that I added you to the list, let me know that and I will quickly and quietly remove you with no questions asked.

Ken - I like Entrecard but dropping drives me crazy and is very very time consuming. :(

Congrats on the Pillsbury basket! Enjoy.

Thanks Anne! I seldom win things, so it was a nice surprise.

Preston, Where do people get the time to do all those drops? I do the best I can, and I hope people understand I also have two kids, a wife and a farm to take care of, so I drop with what is left of my time. Seriously though, if you ended up with two more people dropping on your site because of my list I would be surprised. I am not THAT popular! LOL

Well, your mom has been added to the list so I have more people to visit everyday. Thank you Sniffie and the Floriday Furkids.
