Oh Craigslist, You Amuse Me So!

[Kikiriki]

I have an ad posted for light/coronation split sussex roos. Here is a response I got in an email

"May u deliver to dwifferent location?"

The fact that this person can't spell makes me think it's spam and not want to respond. I had a previous email from the same name different address asking

"Will u email the shipping debtails?"

Um no....I will not. Learn to use spell check buddy.

Just want to say that some people need to use a dictation program to overcome handicaps. They do pretty well, but they are not perfect. And some people are just bad spellers or poor typists. Heaven knows I find typos every time I hit post, despite having reread my typing. While in the military I worked in our shop office for a few months. I could not believe the bad spelling from E7s! Of course none of this is to say you should not trust your instincts about a response. I use a free online email for stuff I consider more risky. My main email is another free account, and my home email is just close friends/family.

If you have any chickens you would like to get rid of (free of charge if possible, or super dirt cheap), please contact me. My youngest son wants to be a Vet when he grows up, so this will help him decide if that is the right career for him.

She looks like she might have back issues too.

How is owning chickens going to help your son decide if he wants to be a vet when he grows up? Unless you assume that any chickens for free or dirt cheap are going to be sick and he could practice his vet skills on them.

Heck alot of vets don't work with chickens anyways.

Horse for Lease

Date: 2012-04-30, 7:07PM PDT

I'm looking to lease out my 4yr old Quarter horse mare. Possibly consider selling her to a good home. I have gone quite far with her training, but now don't have the time to work with the fine tuning. She knows the basics but is still green and has some spook, so experience rider only. I will consider either a part care or full care lease of her. She can be boarded right here with me at no cost except feed. Will consider selling her to some one after they have leased her for 6 months so that I know that it would be the right home for her.
If you would be interested, please e-mail me with your number and I will get back to you to arrange you meeting her.

I just wanted to ask you horse folk, for a QH, isn't she a wee bit skinny?

I'm not a horse person and that poor thing looks skinny for any kind of horse!
