Good morning y'all. On my 2nd cup of coffee. I need to get my lazy butt up and go feed. Fortunately I can look out the window, do a head count at the round bale and see if any ewes have lambed. Nope, not this morning, so I get to be lazy. LOL Cold, dreary and windy. I could always do something productive in the house, like …………. blah, druther be OUTSIDE.

I can do that with my herd as well and love my window/pasture placement because of it. Lol!

So much better when they deliver during the day Son Rise... at least for us. As prey animals, I guess they may feel safer delivering at night. Never the less, it's nice to have a mug that keeps the drink at the desired temperature for a long while! Hope she delivers soon for you with no issues.

And I refuse to use a microwave because it "irradiates" your food and basically kills all the nutrients in it so your body is eating sterile food that doesn't feed the cells.....
You do realize, that is an old wives tale/urban legend...?

(I could add dozens more credible, unbiased and accepted sources of true research that shows the same thing)

All cooked food other than boiled food is 'irradiated'. If you have not irradiated it, it isn't cooked. Microwaving does only one thing. It makes the food vibrate, which induces friction and it is the heat from this friction that cooks the food.
And even food that is boiled is also 'irradiated' using radiated heat to make the pot boil.

For 'classic irradiation' to happen, it has to be ionizing radiation.
UV light
alpha or beta decay
Gamma
X
Cosmic rays
etc etc.
You will notice that microwaves are listed under the heading "non-ionizing"

The mechanic here at work uses PILES of sugar in his coffee. PILES!!! I mean - there are only 3 of us that regularly drink coffee here - him, me and one of the drivers. I bring my own little packets from home and the driver only uses a sprinkle. We went through a 12LB case between 12/17 and last Friday. :ep
I came in this morning to find that 'someone' had raided my little stash of packets and cleaned me out.
Luckily I KNOW my co-workers and brought more this morning - so the coffee's still on.

He's just miffed because 'the company' is supposed to keep the coffee area supplied and miffed at me specifically because I do the ordering.
It's odd watching him lately. He's in a very unhappy place about a lot of things and he's SOOOO NEGATIVE and reactive about EVERYTHING. I just got out of a very unhappy situation and I suddenly see that I was JUST like him for such a long time.
So, I'm trying to give a whole lot of grace about all of his whining and moaning.
