The two pullets we got a couple of weeks ago started going downhill from probably Friday night. We could only get them to the vet this afternoon (Monday).
They have antibiotics and we're crop-feeding them, but I don't think it's going to do much good.
Fifteen minutes later: Nien-Go is dead. We're not sure if Jima-wu is going to survive, although she was always doing better than dainty little Nien-Go.
( feeling like I failed )

Not quite 365 days questions March.
9. As it’s ‘Check Your Batteries Day’, when was the last time you checked your stock of batteries? Or, do you buy them when you need them?
Hubby checks all of ours every three months. We stock our batteries every ten months. We don't want to find out something doesn't work the hard way.

90 questions
When and where was the most memorable sunrise or sunset you have ever seen?
My favorite sunsets are here in Tucson. They are absolutely breathtaking. Hubby and I watch them as often as we can. I'm never up in time for sunrise. 😂 We also saw some gorgeous ones on different cruises we went on. Sunsets are so gorgeous. I'm grateful for all of them.

Things I'm Disappointed About
Sometimes I find a new recipe to try and it flops. At first I'm angry that I used money to make something that was so awful. After about ten minutes, I then blame myself for choosing something so gross.
I get disappointed in people that show no compassion for anyone who has to use hearing aids. They lose their temper because they don't want to repeat themselves. I've even seen them yell at the person who has no control over their hearing.
But, the biggest disappointment in people who don't have empathy for the person with dementia, or worse. They have no control over what is happening to them And their family. They need all the Love and caring they can get. Please be thoughtful. A lot of people are.

This happened a week back I think, but in case you have not heard, Seven Seas has been acquired by Media Do. There has been concerns that this will mean AI translations but according to their statements, this will not happen (but their statement seems to emphasize Japanese works a lot, so who knows if this is going to change for CN novel translations):
From Media Do:
Link to the Japanese statement: https://mediado.jp/info/15595/
From Media Do:
Following recent reports, we have received inquiries expressing concern that AI might be used to
translate Seven Seas manga and other works. The Company clarifies that there are absolutely no plans to
do so. Furthermore, the "MDTS" system developed by the Company is an AI assisted tool designed to
help Japanese translators manage their translated text when working on Japanese literature. It is not
intended for implementation in Seven Seas translation operations. All specific operational details will
remain compliant with the existing translation standards of Seven Seas.
[...]
Through the feedback we have received, we deeply understand the love and dedication fans have for
Seven Seas. It is truly regrettable that our previous announcement caused misunderstandings among
those who cherish Seven Seas publications. As stated above, the Company will act appropriately for the
fans and will not use AI in the translation operations of Seven Seas, so please rest assured.

Last week: Lots of discussion of various contemporary Roman emperors and their families: Claudius, Agrippina, Nero, Britannicus. Quinctilius Varus and Arminius make an appearance as well. Also Josephus wants to tell you ALL about the Essenes, and none of us knows why but maybe we will find out sometime in the future?? (ugh, I haven't finished replying to comments yet on this either, sorry! -- hopefully will get to that tomorrow)
This week: The Jewish war starts! It's a mess. We do finally meet our hero Josephus, who is just the most heroic, clever, and brave guy. (Probably devilishly handsome too, although this is admittedly not in the text.)
Next week: where shall we read to in Book 3?

It's challenge time!
Comment with Just One Thing you've accomplished in the last 24 hours or so. It doesn't have to be a hard thing, or even a thing that you think is particularly awesome. Just a thing that you did.
Feel free to share more than one thing if you're feeling particularly accomplished!
Extra credit: find someone in the comments and give them props for what they achieved!
Nothing is too big, too small, too strange or too cryptic. And in case you'd rather do this in private, anonymous comments are screened. I will only unscreen if you ask me to.
Go!
