Okies in the BYC The Original

[luv2bmemaw2]

Friends,

I came home to sleep a couple of hours. This looks like it will be mom's day to go "home". Please keep me and my family in your prayers. My daughter made it home from Equador from her mission trip and got to see mom. Everyone's home so we think mom will probably realize that.

She's not in any pain and we are so thankful for the drugs they can give. Pray that we can take it as gracefully as she is cause I sure don't want to let go.

Thank you all for being such wonderful people.

Donna

I'll be thinking of you and your family today. Prayers that everything goes the way you need it to and that your mom passes peacefully. Big hugs.

Well, when someone asks for my opinion...

I don't pretend to know what God thinks about it, but for us, we have decided once we accept responsibility for a life, it is wrong to mistreat it or to take it without good reason. Good reasons, in our house, include illness for the good of the (in this case) flock or the bird itself (don't want it to needlessly suffer), or to eat it. There may be other reasons I haven't yet thought of, but that's the idea.

One reason we are happy we found the auctions is because now we have a place to get rid of unwanted animals. Unwanted because of breed or size or gender or whatever.

So, that's where we stand. In a non-theological sense, I'm in agreement with your husband and what sounds like your gut instinct.

That's my opinion, given for free. Which is about what it is worth.

All that said, I am talking your situation over with my wife and will PM you soon. We may be able to help you out with this particular bunch.

Edited to add...
Just sent a PM with a suggested solution.

Well I am back. I didn't think it was possible to get too much BBQ but after this weekend I am rethinking that. It might be possible to gett close to having too much BBQ.
I spent Saturday in Ada judging a BBQ contest and then had the big Father's Day BBQ at my folks yesterday evening.
I still have BBQ in the fridge so I might hit that for lunch.
I am glad I didn't let my wife talkme into the Rib Crib all you can eat ribs yesterday after church that might have been pushing it.

Henny I hope you are feeling/doing better!
I too have thought about culling for culling sake but I just don't feel good about it. If I can't sell them I will keep them or just give them away. Maybe you can just run an ad in the Olustee Evening Sun!)

Al, pm me back!

Donna, You are at the top of my my prayer list.

Bigokie, I bet you can do a good cannonball off those cliffs.

Sooner, my son is at camp in your neck of the woods today. He is at Camp Tullakogee (mispelled) on Lake Fort Gibson. He calls it Camp Hockaloogee.
It sure will be quiet here for a few days.

Tina, So Lexington is tonight? I'd like to go if I can. What time does it start?

Snap62 and ALAN B!

I will get you guys on our list.
Alan I don't know about Blyth but I know where Yanush is.

Snap, I know your area well.

Check out KCBS.com and become a certified judge. You may never get too much BBQ but you will get about all you can handle.
I am going to check on the contest leftovers now.

Buckguy - Bill is concerned about you. So....if you ever get
caught in a situation like this again.....He's "officially"
volunteering to be your assistant, and will pull up all the
slack.................. just holler.

Have a good one !
