I'm a 16 year old girl and I think women are easy to buy for, they like some form of jewellery but when it comes to men I do not have a clue what to buy.
What kind of present would you buy a:
16 year old (boyfriend)?
30 year old?
50 year old?
70 year old?
For christmas or their birthday?
Thanks for helping.

Answer
To be honest you dont really have to get a guy anything. Most guys just crave attention and affection from their girlfriend. In a 16 year olds case this would mean something like sex haha. Or just extra attention from their girl. When guys get older though they mature and they'll learn to appreciate more and also get new hobbies. So you should focus on their interests when it comes to gift giving. If they smoke pot then buy em some weed. If their into motorcycles take a few pictures of yourself naked by one and turn it into a calendar. Just kidding XD. Buy them a cool motorcycle helmet instead. Although the calendar isnt a bad idea haha. Clothing can work for any age of guy though. And as a bonus it should be something you think they look good in. And you should tell them that. Like "hey babe i bought you this new hoodie. You'll look so sexy in this ;)". A guy will really get a kick out of that. Although that would be kinda awkward to say if you were both 70 though XD.

How do I prepare a chicken?
Dr. No
How does one go from a live chicken to a chicken soup?
I'd be interested in both internet links, or even better, personal experience.
I've got a chicken here, and i'd like to make some soup.
well, thanks.

Hi,
I've never killed a chicken myself, but I have watched it being done. When I was a kid, my dad's cousin Joe used to kill chickens on an old tree stump. All the innards went into a clay pipe, including the feet. He'd scald the chickens in a pot of almost boiling water, pluck them, and then his wife would prepare them for dinner.
Later in life, I had a friend who used to kill chickens by hanging them in a kill cone. She'd cut off their heads, let the blood drain well into a bucket, dip in water that was around 180 degrees, and then pluck them clean. I have helped pluck them clean.
I left some resources for you to look at to give you an idea of what to do. I know I learn best by reading and/or watching as I am a hands-on learner.
You also need to know the age of your bird so you will know the appropriate way to cook him when he's dressed out. If young, he's good for frying, but if old, then the stew pot for him! Either way, he'll taste mighty fine.
Back in the 70's & early 80's (like 1975-1981), I lived in a small town (the kind if you blink you'd miss it), and the owner of the little store would always let me know when he was going to have hens to butcher. I would get them for .49c a pound and they were the fattest and best tasting chickens I could get for the money. The stores at the time wanted around .59c a pound, and their chickens weren't nearly as tasty nor as fat. These chickens from this farmer/grocer had yellow fat all on the backsides and butt area. They made the best stews, chicken and dumplings, and chicken with homemade noodles. YUM!
That man is long dead and I haven't had a good fresh home-killed chicken in over 10 years.
I have the best story! Ten years ago this November, I was turning 40 years old, and a new friend, one whom I had met just that year, called me up and told me she wanted to give me a present for my birthday; would I like to have a chicken? She lives on 92 acres and raises chickens and beef cattle, and I said to her, Ellen, I live in town, they don't allow chickens. She began to laugh and told me it was a dressed chicken from her freezer! It was my turn to laugh~and I told her I'd love to have a chicken! Later that afternoon she showed up at my door with a frozen chicken out of her freezer that she and her husband had dressed out just a few weeks before. I think it is one of the best birthday gifts I have ever recieved in my life! Who in the world thinks to give others a dressed chicken from their own farm for their birthday? I loved that gift! That gift fed my family a pot full of chicken & dumplings.
I remember sharing this story with my adult Sunday School class at church the next week as I was so excited about that gift, and they all looked at me as if I'd grown two heads!!! I felt sorry for all of them as they could not see the lovelyness of getting such a from-the-heart gift. My friend's husband was laid off and they still had 4 kids at home, so you see what a from-the-heart gift this truly was.
It's too bad most people can't see the simple gifts in life and appreciate them. I love fresh from the farm chickens as they make the best meals. I need to find another source that I can buy from regularly like I used to do from that old farmer/grocer. You've brought back many memories!
Enjoy your bird!
