Don't you mean "phone book"??? But for either situation:

Are you in prison? Did sombody steal your phone? Is the phone lost under 6 years of old junk mail?

:wave: Yeah, what's up with you not having a land line phone? I still have a land line phone, and I plan on keeping it. My cell phone is only used when I'm on the road somewhere. Or, to use as the only option I have since my land line phone has stopped working...ever since the power went out the other night. Grrr......
 
I have a landline phone. Im thinking of getting rid of it though. Too many sales calls and people asking for donations.. makes me crazy. I just dont use the phone book. I can call information or look it up online alot faster than going through pages and pages of the phone book. I think its wasteful to just send them out to everyone. why three?

It's three different companies -- which means each one of them makes money on making a phone book. Some smaller ones have gone out of business and a few big ones may discontinue them in some areas.

Call your phone company, tell them you are getting rid of the landline. They will drop your bill to an amazingly low amount. The local companies are hemorraging customers and will do whatever it takes to keep you.
 
We need the phone book out here, Information does not work. Seriously, they do not recognize our existance. I might as well be asking them for phone numbers on mars. Having to climb up on the roof to get a signal kind of limits cell phone use, too....:laughing:

ROFLMAO!

BUT, SERIOUSLY! LOL Here where I live they charge a buck everytime you use directory assistance. For that price I will "let my fingers do the walking"! :laughing:

So I have to have ONE for the Islands (San Juan County) ... ONE for the Mainland (Skagit County) ... and ONE for the "big" city of Bellingham. (and most people have one for Seattle also!)

Cell phones??? Now that's a joke! We only have cell coverage over about 5% of the Island! (yes: thats a five!) And to top it all off --- lots of the time you will connect to the cell tower on Vancouver Island, CANADA and get billed for INTERNATIONAL RATES!!! :error:

AND one place I lived at here actually had an outhouse! And not for looks either! It was use it or suffer! :laughing: Wood heat and the shower was in an outbuilding right next to the "moon motel" (if it was raining you got wet before you ever made it to the shower)!!!

Here's to "rural life" :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

PS: no i don't have a cow! But I do own a sheep! Seriously!)

Given the size of the local phone book, it would only be good for a couple of trips.:laughing: We always used corn husks. Kept them in a basket...

I guess that's better than using your hand (specifically the left hand), as they do in Middle Eastern countries. Never press the flesh of an Arab offering his left hand. :nono:

We have a nice area in the barn for them already set up for the eggs. What was it -- they lay a couple hundred per bird??

The quail's reproductive capacity is large and their mating behaviors are impressive.


The nesting season is long, lasting from April to October.

Hens lay 12 to 18 eggs per nest.

Chicks are precocial, being able to follow adults soon after hatching.

Their breeding behavior is classified as both monogamous and polygamous, with the females sometimes leaving their mate and chicks to find another mate and start another nest.

With the females being so promiscuous, males end up incubating about 25% of the nests.
All of the above behaviors allow one hen to produce up to 3 broods of 10 or so chicks per brood. The end result of this is a tremendous ability to rebound from high mortality during winter. Make sure you provide good nesting habitat on your farm. Nesting cover consists of grasses such as redtop, timothy, orchardgrass, little bluestem, and broomsedge. There should be adequate litter from the previous year for the hen to build the nest.
