They sell Panda cookies filled with chocolate at World Market, next time I am there I will get a box and take a pic just in case it is needed for future forum umm business. Maybe I can make a snake hide out of the box.:nyah:
 
I do hate to admit this sort of thing publicly but Robbie is right they blur everything :rofl:. But I do not recommend that anyone go look. The internet has many dark places, it is not a good idea to leave the well light marked pathways without a chaperone.

LoL~ darn it ;-) (haha just kidding)
 
For the record, I have never needed a chaperon. I've been to the dark corners of the internet and back! Which is probably an explanation for the sick, twisted individual I am today. :roflmao:

I have over the years had a ummm full internet experience, and I have been subjected to many of the dark places, but see I am not very brave and I REALLY DO KNOW what is waiting out there. So at least for anyone who is faint of heart, I always recommend they bring a braver soul as a chaperone. I'm sure you do to so I must commend you for you bravery to be able to go it alone and unchaperoned. :bowdown:
 
Hey, true bravery should be recognized, not only are you brave enough to still talk to YBH and me (the argumentative ones) but you are fearless of the dark places. You should get like an award or something.

On that note though I am going to sleep, I do still have to wake up in the am and be a Mommy. Good night everyone even those that I debated against, warm wishes and sweet dreams (not panda porn LOL).

I see it is like your business to raise the animals. It is different for us and it would be totally impractical for us to try to take on so much. We have a country lifestyle, but that doesn't have to mean we have a farming business. It is just me, my husband, our two little girls, and next year my mother in law is moving up (which no matter what anyone says is going to be GREAT because I adore my MIL and cannot wait for her to live here). And while I am a stay at home mom/homeschooling mom, my husband does have to go to his job in the city so he can't help a lot for day to day land operations. We do have a neighbor a couple miles down the road who has a lot of pasture and keeps cows, but like you it is his business. Central FL traditionally had a lot of cattle raising although most of that land was purchased by Disney many years before I was even around, now there are only a few pockets of ranches scattered around. Also raising cattle in Central FL is highly controversial b/c we are the beginning of the watershed to the everglades, and since I am original from south FL I am very sensitive to the potential effects with that.

Buzzard there is a great book called 'How to Grow More Vegetables: Than You Ever Thought Possible on Less Land Than You Can Imagine' if you are interested in that topic, my copy of it is in tatters because I have found it very useful so I can recommend it as a cool resource/read to anyone interested in the subject.

1. Your right on there, it is our professional occupation to farm.

2. Well our "employees" consist of myself, my mom, my dad, and my grandma.

3. My mom home schools me with an online school, but still manages to work as at a hospital as an RN.

Just thought of this book, i think its called green hell. its a great book.


Vegans/Vegetarians miss an important point. Crop fields are biological wastelands. They aren't shared with any biodiversity other than what is best for the crop's growth. Cattle/gotas/etc are often raised (1) where crops wouldn't grow well at all and (2) so that the fields are shared with a higher diversity (such as plant and animal life). To me, vegans are just selfish because they don't want to share the land that produces THEIR food with any "other" wildlife species.

Great post!!!


I would really like to know what you think would happen if we all woke up tomorrow and decided to be vegan..you know..."to save the planet"?

If you think "factory farming" for meat products takes a toll on the environment, I strongly suggest you make a trip(and bring the kids) to an agriculture facility...commercial agriculture, and just take a look at the waste, runoff, chemical mis-treatment, and damge done by vegetable farming.

When you do this, try to remember that without cattle and hogs, we have no natural fertilizers, so ALL fertilization, nutrient replenishment, and growth products will ALL be chemical. Also try to remember that it takes more land to grow the same amount of food organically, which undoubtedly means theat organic farming for mass consumption will cease to exist...in it's entirety. Than try to remember that while cows and pigs might urinate and defecate in the water and soil...it takes FAR more acreage to raise sustainable crops already. Imagine how it would be if the world population became vegan.

One good thing that would come of it...our global population density would decrease dramatically because quite frankly, we, as omnivorous creatures, simply cannot and will not thrive on a vegetarian diet without supplemental nutritional medication. So if the entire world became vegetarian and/or vegan overnight, we would see a DRASTIC reduction in global population due to malnutrition, immuno-compromise diseases, traumatic injury due to calcium and protein deficiencies, and a HUGE increase in the infant mortality rate. So THAT would be beneficial to the environment, at least...

another great post!


And yet again, a direct insult to me. Btw, Im 5'3 and 116 lbs. I have glowing skin and am very healthy. Even my Dr. said that if more people went vegan he wouldnt have so many patients.

Not true. That comment was not directed at you at all. It said tell veganS. It didn't say you specificly. and its not painting with a broad brush, he didn't say that all vegans were like that. and i would like a quote of the other DIRECT insult.


That statement was just plain dumb and uneducated.
