Mods please close Why is it? Do I stink or something?

[Fudgie]

Well here you all go that have been shunned for one reason or another!!!

Just had to do that so now you all are official. You are one with the forum. Sometimes people are just busy doing their work instead

! We should do that you know but we don't want to. Sorry you don't get answers. I agree with what someone said above, post it differently and it might cause action. Keep trying there is so much good info on here!

To continue - I traded my fence for Turkeys:

WELL..... We anonymously stopped by some fella's place yesterday because we saw a chicken coop near the road... Yep.

Ya know, he was incredibly nice to us.. kinda the way only bird people are with other bird people who randomly stop by when you don't even know them!

I mentioned that I would like to get some Turkeys, and he walked over to his corn crib - pulled out a few ears - and called "Here Turkey Turkey". Birds came from everywhere! I think there were 40 Turkeys in the pasture! He told me to take my pick. Now I am a roll of fence short, and 6 Turkeys expanded.

My Turkeys are wonderful. I love them. I want more now.

Hi Jackie. I'm Jackie too!
This is way off topic but if you guys love tirky's you need to read barbara Kingsolvers book Animal, vegetable, Miracle.
It's about their decision to eat locally for a year but part of it is her decision to raise a breeding flock of heritage turkey's. About the last 2 chapters are about the turkey's and it is a HOOT!

The entire book is good too.

I know how you feel!! As you can see I'm no newbie, but I don't post my own questions too much cuz I don't get responses either. I do try and answer unanswered posts. I'm no expert in the field, but I do answer what I can and try and bump the ones that get buried. I guess we don't have the wit it takes for people to read our posts. I just look thru posts so I can learn from others.

Hi Jackie! I really like to mess around in the games section. Its a fun, fast back and forth with people, and you get to know them quickly

I know how you feel, but I decided that I was just going to keep on posting, speaking my mind and sharing what I know (the ammount of which is questionable...) and force myself to be noticed

Please dont leave!!

Quail Hollow: Great story about the turkeys!! I wish I had some fence to trade for some birds

Bird people rock!!

It's like being in Times Square on New Year's Eve.
It's not practical to take it personally if one of us doesn't hear you or know what to respond to a question.

Hey Jackie, I haven't seen your name on here lately! I think it's a phase we all go thru, then you post a topic (like you did now) and it's on a roll!

I think there should be a tombstone smiley thing for all the posts that get ignored, or just die out, I think I would be up on the top of that list.

I wish I could get turkeys I think they are beautiful creatures.

Hi all! (and BTW, I too LOVE that beautiful butterfly avatar). As for how you feel about being ignored, I think most of us have felt that way at least a few times here and there. When I feel that way, all I have to do is look at how fast new topics and responses to existing topics come up. Sometimes the very moment I hit "submit topic" and click on recent posts, my newly posted topic will already be 5, 6, or even 10 topics from the head of the list. With this many people on the forum, and this many posts happening SIMULTANEOUSLY it is easy to get lost in the shuffle. Try posting a followup comment to your OP, change the title, post an update comment, or something like that. I personally have always enjoyed your posts; I just never took the time to tell you so. My apologies. (And FWIW, I thought it was GREAT about the turkeys!!! why can't I run across deals like that?

Congrats to the proud caretaker of the additional turkeys!
