I don't really want to think about how it gets there, as long as it does and it's safe!

I don't know why it's easier to eat something ugly like a chicken than it is to eat something beautiful like a doe-eyed dear. I can't eat venison either. Linda: I did enjoy the fresh eggs, well until we had so many that we literally ate them for every meal for weeks. SmartMouthBroad: My sister rebelled for quite a while and went vegetarian. I could be a vegetarian, but my husband could never. Thank you so much for the award. I'm really honored!!! Sammanthia: The guys in my family were hunters too.

You proved my point exactly. Hilary: Ughh. I know there'll come a day when my 4-year-old will start to ask and I suppose I'll have to be honest too. I hope it isn't AT the dinner table. Wendy: I wish we could hang onto that innocence, or bottle it. Thanks for resending the email, and for the nice message! Mom: They were geese? Well, whatever...they're all birds, and listen here...if you really find it necessary to contradict me on my own blog, maybe you should start a blog of your own so I can return the favor. Aren't you glad I'm 1,200 miles away, it's so much more fun, don't you think! XOXOX WickedStepMom: Thank you! You proved my point exactly.

The turkeys how ever did get into my saab when I was unloading groceries once. and that is a flock not a herd. Are you sure that you grew up on a farm.
