She's comin' for confession!<br /><br />Pastor: Oh Lord *reaches for the gallon jug of sacrament wine, pours a big glass. <br /><br />Madge! Clear my calendar and take a memo.....title it "Notes for OFG's Confession":<br /><br />1. "Because he deserved it" is not an appropriate reason for sinning against others.<br /><br />2. You may NOT "take change" out of the offering plate. Anymore.<br /><br />3. You may not come back "for seconds" during communion. <br /><br />4. Speaking of which, no "double dipping" in the wine.<br /><br />5. For the last time, we are not switching to tequila and chips...and please stop referring to communion as "snack time."<br /><br />6. When we have a special alter call for "those you are still drunk" - we mostly mean it for you. <br /><br />7. And no one wants to hear that stupid joke again<br /><br />Madge: What joke, Pastor?<br /><br />Pastor: She always says it... don't you remember? "He who farts in church sits in his own pew."<br /><br />Madge: *blink blink*<br /><br />The Pastor takes another big draw from his glass, "Ok Madge, send her in...."<br /><br />*OFG galumphs into the office dragging barn dirt across the floor.....*<br /><br />"Hey look! Snacks!

I don't let people come to my house unless it's a big item and my fiancé is home (he's also a big item, and a little scary looking). :)<br /><br />We got rid of our $&@%! goats on Craigslist. They had gotten out AGAIN, destroyed a bunch of my fruit trees (literally snapped them in half), and we were trying to fix the fence when I finally gave up. I sat down in the pen, whipped out my phone, and posted a "free to good home", along with "please come get them NOW". I had an email in about 10 minutes from a gal that lived 15 minutes away and could come get them NOW. She was a 4H leader, had her own trailer, and was totally a goat person. It was a perfect fit!Raehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02769150016495656772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7789865586418282697.post-33353800381558849122012-03-02T10:35:33.979-05:002012-03-02T10:35:33.979-05:00Best thing EVER from Craigslist, our livestock gua...Best thing EVER from Craigslist, our livestock guardian dog, Bob! His previous owner had lost his job and could no longer afford all of his huge dogs. They were socialized with chickens, sheep and children, we took the oldest dog, who was four. After shots, neutering and deworming, he became one of the greatest dogs I have ever met. And, he was a "freebie"! Three years later I have no regrets.

I am moving to an area this weekend that has a chicken owner 'experimenting' with 12 chickens to see if the permit folks want to allow chickens (only 12 mind you) in their city limits. Ha! So, I am trying to unload my chickens before I move since I need to build a new coop on the new property. I have folks that were supposed to show up this morning and more coming by this evening. <br /><br />Speaking of Nigeria....Whilst looking for a new place to rent, I replied to 10 ads seeking more info. Two out of ten were scams, not good odds. When I figured this out, I decided to scam the scammers. I pretended I was interested and demanded all kind of answers to questions that they couldn't answer very well because of lack of knowledge of our area. Name of cable company, trash collectors (one answered Harry and Bob lol), etc. I contacted the listing agent and alerted him to one of the scams and he said he was having no luck with Hotpads, the listing server. These people couldn't wait to scam me out of my money and, boy or boy, did they think I was stupid enough to just wire them money. I can't believe there are fools out there stupid enough to fall for these scams.Traceynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7789865586418282697.post-24776834634386109592012-03-02T08:19:39.991-05:002012-03-02T08:19:39.991-05:00I did not know one could love a rooster that much....I did not know one could love a rooster that much.<br /><br />We (and by we I mean I purchased for my son and then subsequently took care of them while he just took them out to play) dabbled in Leopard Geckos for a while - cute little things. They died. (My son actually did try to feed them but didn't use the calcium dust and they died of a deficiency... He was very upset.) So anyway I've been trying to sell their caging.<br /><br />I have one left. I only post every 6 months or so on CL, but, some idiot wanted to send me a hundred text messages over 5 days about it!! I'm really not sure why I didn't put a stop to that the first day. Next time the cage went up with a disclaimer.<br /><br />Most of the time when I sell the people are perfectly pleasant, and CL is a great way to find buyers and sellers and either make a little money or get a good deal.
