With nothing to say, I still keep typing. I know so many people who apply that principle to their verbal activities so I guess I can't point any fingers. I do wish I could make my computer work as fast as I think, though. If I could, I would not have missed out on winning several eBay auctions lately. I hate it when my computer freezes in the last 29 seconds of an auction when I am about to place a final "highest bid".
On the low tech end of things, my goat got loose this morning and yet the kid goat was still hanging around. At first I suspected some varmint had gotten the young doe but as I was pouring out grain, she wandered out of the nearby doghouse.
There were nine eggs in the henhouse this morning and I ate two. How many did I have left?***

*** I think that I had about 45 including the ones in the fridge. I gave away 40 last week. I am considering getting containers and freezing them for the winter when they stop laying. (meaning the eggs... not the hens) Anybody else have experience with that?

You can, but we’re not sure it’s worth it. Yolks don’t take to freezing very well. They become very gelatinous and you usually mix separated yolks with a bit or salt or sugar before you freeze them to keep them from turning to rubber (and you label them well so you don’t have to guess if you mixed them with salt or with sugar). Raw egg whites do not suffer from freezing (cooked egg whites are very rubbery).
If you’re going to freeze whole eggs, remove them from the shells, and mix them well before freezing. They can be kept frozen for a year, and should be thawed in the refrigerator the day before you intend to use them. You might try freezing a few eggs and see if the results are acceptable to you.
Purchased from a busy store (that has lots of turnover), stored in the bottom of the refrigerator (where it's colder), not in the door (where they are subject to more temperature fluctuation), eggs should remain fresh for four or five weeks from the date of purchase. If you become concerned, you can bake a cake once a month or so to use up any lingering eggs. Then have a party and invite all MD!!!

There is no need to freeze them. MEN did a study on different ways of saving fresh eggs.
"The very best way we've found to stash eggs away for long-term storage is in a sealed container at a temperature of 35° to 40°F. Their whites may become somewhat runny looking over a period of time, but even after seven months—the cackleberries stored in this manner smell good, taste good, have a good texture, and—in short—seem "almost fresh".
