TOR ( AKA Ranchie's DH)....Give us another story please and Thank you

I'm sorry theotherranch, I guess I meant if you ever want to talk about her, we will listen.

And I'm a girl/lady/working on old lady/okay, not so old, but somedays older than others.

I think I have the same outlook when it comes to chickens that Sally had... I love them, "I just don't hug them and kiss them and squeeze them" love them. But if something messes with them....

I remember the story about the .38. I told her I used a .410 and could still here quite well.

Anyone ever notice what a detective she was? I remember reading posts where she would call someone out on something they had written if it didn't match their previous posts.

There were many times I would get a link sent in a PM, about a thread she didn't like, with the equivalent of a "Sic 'em, Chic".

I just miss Ranchie here on BYC. She touched so many of us. I just wanted to talk about her some more

Chic, I used to get the sic-em Sourland PM's. Then she would giggle when I got in trouble.

Sally seems to be famous for those "sic em " PM's. Many an evening she would turn from the computer, with a BIG grin, and say "got another one". As I said earlier,her birds were her birds, not her "babies' (her quote !). But it tore her apart to lose any of them for any reason. A few years back, she forgot to close the door on one of the coops at night. I got a call at work the next morning after she went out and discovered that something went into the coop and slaughtered most of her birds in that coop. I had to leave early to come home and bury dead. It upset her greatly. But it was also the last time any of the coops were left open. She knew it was her fault, cussed the (we thought) fox, but never again forgot to lock the coops at night. I realize this is not an uplifting post, but to me it says a lot about Sally's character. She could (and would ) get knocked down, but she refused to stay down. Up on her feet, ready for round two. And pity the fool who stood in her way!

Thanks Mr. Ranchie for sharing her with us these last few years. We had good times with her. And I'm happy to know that you got a few laughs out of us when Ranchie"stirred it with a stick"!

Sourland, I suspect there are a lot more of Ranchie's minions than we know.

 

[theotherranch]

Chic - you've got that backwards. I should thank BYC for sharing her with me. LOL She was a knowlegeable chicken lover and she felt she should try to share that with others. She thought of many of you at BYC as good friends and enjoyed being with you. I've gotten to kmow a few of you and can understand how she felt. My thanks to all of you that knew her, because you mabe her happy!

I really miss her humor. She was on my side in the battle against whatever it is I'm battling on that particular day...I think we she joined me I had just got MFB with the Turken prank. I also miss her PMs. She was always egging me on, waiting to see what I'd get myself into...I sent her a card not too long ago and was a little worried she'd think I was insane for sending her a card that talked, but she of course found it as funny as I did.

 

[KDailey]

Can someone fill me in on what happened? I haven't been on BYC in a few weeks so I'm not up to date...

It can be in a private message if that would be best...

She was one of a kind.



Yup the void she left is large, and hearing stories about her sure does help.
