What the hell is a farmer's cradle ? Trigger

Put hay in digger bucket. Add child to bucket. Raise bucket. Use levers to move bucket to and fro. Child falls asleep.

This is working better in my head- right?

MsBubbles

Thanks Trigger.

It sounds like you had a great time growing up on the farm

Thanks for explaining I understand now.

Zanablue phew. I thought I was the only one who didn't know what a farmer's cradle was.

haha I find I am learning new things everyday by reading this thread, some of them I keep quiet about and eventually work out what they are, but I had to ask about the farmers cradle.

When I was two, I was my dads shadow. We were on the farm, the tractor was on, he was putting diesel into it, and I saw a thing spinning around. This thing was a fan belt. And I thought it would be fun to catch it. The top of my ring finger got cut off and I have a disfigured finger now but at least still have my hand. Got caught in a bale escalator but it only tore my tshirt before my dad untangled me from it. Got head butted in the face feeding a calf from a bucket and broke my nose. Fell out of a bucket of a jcb. Got my ankle caught under a bale lifter 2 years ago. You'd wonder how kids on farms aren't killed

They are, quite often

I cried yesterday because my husband brought me home a scone, but no cream.
I had a complete crazy lady meltdown.

Just had it there with butter and jam and it was really nice, now I have to apologise. Ugh, I wanted it to be horrible but it really wasn't!!

We're getting couches delivered tomorrow, they're going to have to stay I'm the garden for a few hours, then hopefully they fit through the door. fml. Being a grown up sucks.

Puts the scones in perspective though.

The amount of times I get told to open a file in VEEdit is ridiculous. That fooking thing would give you a tumor if you look at it long enough.

TA the luas customer cares attitude to complaints. I pay to use the luas morning and evening. I got on the luas last night. 4 teenage scumbags were on the luas already and they were rough out, really nasty. Combover hair, socks up over their tracksuit bottoms. Two of them got off their seats after laughing a bit, and came to stand next to me. I ignored them, and one of them kept inching closer and closer to me until I finally said sorry do you mind? "What's wrong wid ya luv" and "starrri" was pretty much the extent of their vocab. Until one started touching me and I freaked out, and ended up with one of them spitting straight into my face.
Two different men nearby both intervened but it didn't stop them.

I called the luas first thing this morning to complain. Your one was like "oh we have security working" and "there are emergency buttons on all trams, as well as on the ticket machines". Oh ok then, a paying customer is supposed to get off the tram to report anti social behaviour? And there wasn't one security guy at any of the stops either.

Little bastards, a waste of organs. Sorry to hear about that. I would rather someone kicked me in the nuts than spit in my face, an awful thing to do to anyone. Thank christ I do not have to use the LUAS.

Rubberlegs

Lexie they will have no luck for that. With any luck they will eat something dodgy and end up with explosive diarrhoea and projectile vomiting (not on the Luas). Scumbags

What kind of a human would think that it is ok to grope a stranger and then spit at her when she protests. Fcking dregs of humanity.

As Alan Partridge would say, "Scum. Sub-human scum."

MsBubbles

Lexie that's awful. Hope you're ok now. I'd draft an email and send to Brian Brennan MD of Luas explaining what happened.
In fact let me write the email for you and I'll give them what for. I feel like kicking some ass today

As a lefty when I have to write on a birthday, Christmas, wedding, exam card etc.
I don't think it is physically possible for a lefty not to smudge these cards.

Ihatecuddles

I've never understood why lefties can't write the same way righties can. Why do they smudge nd we don't? If I write with my left hand, I don't smudge it.

Because you'd have to write backwards? You write from left to right, so your hand is moving over the ink that you just put down.
