i was out in my  jammies and slippers  at 2am to check on the progress of ther 3 water buckets on teh front porch-- 2 of which had REGULAR bottles FILLED --.... with saltwater in themTHEN CAPPED AND  SUBMERGED IN THE FILLED WATER BUCKET.  as pRerscribed by "THE INTERNET" -- I WAS TOLD...BY SAID INTERNET.. THAT IF I FILLED A WATER BOTTLE WOIH WATER AND SALT  AND PUT IT IN A NORMAL BUCKET OF WATER FOR THE HORSES, IT WOULD NOT FREEZE... WITH GREAT EXCITEMENT I DID  ALL THAT- AND GOT UP AT 2AM IN THE VERY COLD... TO CHECK ON THE PROGRESS..   I AM ASTOUNDED TO REPORT THE ENTIRE  3 BUCKETS HAVE TOTALLY DISAPPEARED.-- I EVEN WENT OUT AGAIN -- FULLY AWAKE AND DRESSED AT 4:30 TO SEE IF I HAD BEEN MISTAKEN... NO---THEY AE GONE. SO MUCH FOR  MY SCIENIFFIC EFFORT.. SO FAR...... \ I CAN SEE HOW IT HAPPENED- SOMEBODY CAME TO THE 3 PAILS OF WATER AND FIGURED THEY DID NOT BELONG THERE-- QUITE CORRECTLTY---AND WE DO HAVE RULES AT CRAZY ACRES IF IT IS BROKEN.. FIX IT IF IT SMELLS PICIK UP IF IT IS FULL.. EMPTY IT IF IT IS EMPTY FILL IT... AND THINGS LIKE THAT. MY 3 WATER BUCKETS MUST HAVE FALLEN INOT ONE OF THOSE CATAGORIES- --- WHY ON EARTH WOULD ANY SANE PERSON SET OUT 3 FULL WATR BUCKETS WHERE NO ANIMAL COUD DRINK OUT OF THEM?  I WONDER WHERE THEY DECIDED THOSE BELONG... SO I HAVE TO START AT THE BEGINNING AGAIN-- (BEFORE IT WARMS UP????) FIND 3 BUCKETS NOT IN CRITICAL USE.. GOES TO SHOW YOU WHY SO MANY LABEL MAKERS ARE DSOLD. *** I CAN NOT SEE HOW THAT WORKS... BUT IF IT EVEN  HELPS DOWN TO 20 DEGREES, IT COUDL BE LOVELY !! THE ONLY THING ICAN THINK OF IS  SALT WATER FREEZES AT A LOWER TEMP THAN REGULAR WATER..  AND ANY TME YOU HAVE AN INEQUALITY SOMETHING  WEIRD CAN HAPPEN SO IT BEARS STUDYING. COULD BE IT IS SOME STRANGE "NEWTONS LAW" KIND OF THING... LIKE THESE MITSUBISHI HEATERS WE HAVE THAT WILL TAKE THE HEAT OUT OF THE OUTSIDE  MINUS 10 DEGREE  AIR , AND CREATE 72 DEGREES HERE IN THE HOUSE. WHICH  STARTS ME  SINGING THE DONALD SWANN SONG  "HEAT CANNOT,  OF ITSELF,  PASS FROM ONE BODDY TO A HOTTER BODY-  HEAT CAN'T PASS FROM THE COOLER TO THE HOTTER  'CAUSE THE HOTTER BODY'S HEAT WILL  PASS TO THE COOLER YOU CAN TRY IT IF YOU LIKE BUT YOU FAR BETTER NOTTER THEN IT GETS INTO NOT BEING ABLE TO TALK TO SCIENTISTS BECAUSE THEY CAN'T TALK TO ANYONE ELSE- POOR DEARS.  THEY( SWANN AND FLANDERS)   ARE VERY GOOD WITH A "PLAY ON WORDS" AS THE BRITISH ARE SO NOTED FOR  ANOTHER OF THEIRS.. "HAVE SOME MADIERA, MY DEAR"- SO SHE MADE.... NO REPLY UP HER MIND AND A DASH FOR THE DOOR. THEY DO THAT OFTEN. **** DEAR CARLENE Cool that it was mentioned in today’s DD about playing ukulele at the nursing homes.  That is exactly what some of us do!  We have a volunteer community band and we play concerts at the local nursing homes and senior centers (besides playing in town parks for the public).  We have 4 of our band members with excellent singing voices who mimic the barbershop quartet and play ukuleles at the same nursing homes and senior centers on separate dates from our concerts.  These folks get several entertainments a year from us along with many other entertainment groups going to their places.  It lights their faces up and is such a good feeling knowing that we gave them a few hours enjoyment!! DIANE T  --- NY  2012 *** FOR NEWCOMERS-- THAT MEANS  DIANE T-- LIVES IN NEW YORK AND HAS BEEN A CAMERA PERSON SINCE 2012 **** SO BACK TO THE FROZEN BUCKETT PROBLEM--  WHEN  I SET THAT UP,  I WAS LAZY AND MIGHT HAVE BLOWN TEH STUDY ANYWAY- I KNOW GOLDIE- OUR GHOST OF THE LEFTHAND DRAWER-- OFTEN CORREDTS MY THINKING BY DIDACTIC  DEMONSTRATIONS,  I OPTED TO USE REGULAR SALT IN THE 2 SALTED BOTTLESWHEN I DID HAVE ACCESS TO KOSHER SALT TOO. MAYBE GOLDIE IS  SAYING .. USE ONE OF EACH KIND.  **** HEAVEN HELP US-  WELL MAKE THAT ---CP'S HELP US.....   THIS IS THE SHORT MONTH WHEN CHICKEN BRICKS ARE ONLY AT 62%  AND TEH SHATTING IS SUNDAY--  IF YOU CAN......  CLICKING ON THAT CHICKEN ON OUR WEB AND DONATING $10 IS OUR MAIN SOURCE OF INCOME  THAT EMNABLES US TO DONATE THESE DOGS AND KEEP  THE PAYROL GOING...  SO IF YOU CAN---  954 OF YOU READ THIS  FOOL EMAIL DAILY--  FIGURE  IT IS A $10 A MONTH SUBSCRIPTION-  WE HAVE A FEW "QUICK PIKS" YET TO ENTER HERE FROM PEOPLE WHO SEND THEIR CHICKEN BRICK DONATION HERE,  BUT WE NEED  $10 from AS MANY OF THE 954 OF YOU  THAT CAN.
