Profile Information
- Where I Live:
- North Valley
- About Me:
- 50-ish, mom of 2, wife of 1, in previous life was an RN, GS Leader, choir singer, PTO participant, baseball game attendant, drive across the country lover, you name it. Hiker of hills, fisher of rills, clamorer after thrills. Until I was laid low by fibromyalgia and later spinal stenosis which was severely aggravated in an auto accident. Now I'm happy if I have a day I don't have to take a pain pill or that I can actually cook a meal instead of popping frozen dinner in the oven because of the pain.
- Favorite Thing(s) About Albuquerque:
- The Sandias, Isotopes baseball, Barb's Place, Garduno's margaritas, no hurricanes, the seasons, my hummingbirds

- What I'm Reading:

Albuquerque Journal
- What I'm Listening To:
- An extremely loud, crazy-making noise called tinnitus. It is a symptom of my fibromyalgia. Oh, everyone's had some ringing in their ears but I'm not talking about your little mosquito in your ear, I'm talking about a migraine for your ear.

Laura that's wonderful! I'm happy for you :)
I can work-out at the gym now. Just barely but still ... big improvement!
For comments and discussion. pros and cons. questions and answers. issues and ideas, concerning the Albuquerque/ Bernalillo County Public Library.
Out of 10 roosters for 100 hens, I had one turn mean about the age of 2 months old. I raised them all from day old. This one rooster started even attacking the hens. None of the other boys were at all aggressive.
I put him in an animal cage, by h...
Hi I have been raising chickens for about 10yrs and out of very many roosters (alot) I have had only 2 that were mean. I don't know what made them mean but they sure were. I really don't think it has anything to do with how many hens each one has....
Furnish Your Tat Stories, HERE....
Hi, also a new urban home steader here,
we recently just butchered our rooster (with friends who also had an agressive rooster) he was so sweet untill puberty, I have had other roosters who were gentle and sweet to me, my friends and his brood of ...
I concur with Marta about hand-raising chicks if you are keeping roosters. I have had a sweet-as-can-be hand-raised RIR rooster (Big Red, RIP) who would tend his flock and also sit on my lap to be hand fed cukes. He was awesome. Some roosters are ...
I've had years of experience (approx 25) and I have also come across this in other literature. Hens are lovely when hand raised, but at some point, when the testosterone kicks in, a hand raised rooster, gander, or peacock will often become extreme...
I think that's right: some roosters are mean. I used to teach at the Children's Campus at UNM and at the time there were two hens and a rooster in the animal yard. Those birds always wandered around with the children ages infant to 8 years or so, ...

- Hi Anna,
I have several meditation students who have fibro myalgia, and they use the meditation skills to help manage their pain and general well being, so I would recommend the meditation class for you, but the yoga I teach is a little vigorous. There is a very good yoga teacher at the Presbyterian Healthplex named Christine Davis, and she does yoga for a lot of people with different health conditions, I know she does chair yoga and other options. Presbyterian's number is 823-8399. And my website if you are interested in meditation is www.duvalmeditation.com. Hope that helps and let me know if I can help further. All the best,
Michelle DuVal

KatieCat said… - Hey Anna! I don't believe I am in those groups you mentioned. I have only poked around the groups a little on here, and I only get on here a few times a week. I don't have Firbromyalgia, but I do have Crohn's Disease. I had saw your request for a wheelchair on the main feed, but had to join the group to respond. I am on twitter, but again, I'm not on it regularly. My name on there is katrynfraher. Look me up! I hope everything is going well for you. Did you find a wheelchair?

Melissa Morgan said… - Hey Anna,
I had to find you right away before I had a chance to forget. We do live on the westside over by Cibola Highschool and cottonwood mall. I am sure that both mom and I will find plenty of friends don this site, thanks again for telling me about it.

Breathe
For the past two days, I have been having to tell myself, "Breathe!"
In other words, my anxiety level has had me hanging from the ceiling. I'd probably drift off into the stratosphere if gravity didn't have some hold. Yesterday I found myself holding my breath in anticipation of negative emotions or reactions. Like when the doctor told me that I should not have rice or pasta in my diet. How do I react to that? By holding my breath out of shear astonishment. That started off my day.

Bo
There's a shrine in my clothes cabinet. Every time I slide open the door I am reminded of a dear friend. She was 15 when she died of liver failure. Her name was Bo.
I remember how she loved to play outside, sitting under a bush waiting for a bird. The countless number of gift… Continue
