Okies in the BYC The Original

[smfamf]

I am seriously peeved this morning. I just got a call from the school. Apparently someone decided to raid the classrooms during lunch and recess yesterday. They went through desks and backpacks. Anything electronic was stolen. My son's phone included. They are required to keep their phones in their bags during class. Now I have to either buy him a new phone or pay $200 to cancel the contract. This is not what I wanted to start my day with. I hope everyone else has a better day than I am.

Good Morning all! Thanks for the post Stimpy I loved it. Just wish I could remember them all to tell others, might have to print it!

I'm working DH to see if I can come to POOPS, I sure do want to, maybe I can talk a friend or two into joining me.

I'll sure bring some cages!!!! And maybe a Silkie or two.

Hope everyone got a dose of that great rain! I got three inches, and we had just put the pasture in round bales and got them off the pasture and it rained! All ready is it looking real green again!
My old horse is loving it, me too!

Sprint and I hate it. I'm eligible for an upgrade but don't want to sign another contract. We want to switch carriers as soon as possible.

smfamf...sorry about your situation...sometimes life just sux......

Hang in there....Maybe you could hold the school responsible...scary to think backpacks are open to that much stealing...I mean it's not just one or two....Maybe was an inside job.....

I hope they find the thief and it will be returned, I would suggest posting on your local freecycle that you are looking for a sprint phone..You would be surprized at the phones folks have lying around that they no longer use... they may not be fancy but sure beats renewing a contract or paying the big $200 upfront..


On other news... We got a bald puppy it aint got no fur...

2009 OFFICIAL AUTUMN POOPS ANNOUNCEMENT"

I am proud to announce to all Okies in the BYC members That the fall POOPS=
People Of Oklahoma Poultry Swap Has been Officially set.

WHEN= Saturday, September 26th, 2009

WHERE= OKC east KOA Campground, 6200 Choctaw rd, Choctaw Ok

WHO= All Oklahoma members of the Okies in the BYC their families and invited friends.


After the very fun and successful spring 2009 POOPS event there was much interest in having a fall event, we felt that we surely must let this fine tradition continue in all it's fanfare. with continued support We will strive to make this event even bigger and better than ever as our fine members deserve only the best. For those of our new members and members who were unable to attend the Okies in the BYC POOPS, it is a family oriented affair, where members come to meet the folks we talk to everyday on this forum, and enjoy the one thing we all have in common our fondness of poultry. This year promises to be one you do not want to miss, and as I stated it will be bigger and better than ever, this year we are planning the following.

1. Food : This year we will be featuring a full pot luck lunch and dinner.
2. Poultry : The usual fanatical buying/selling/swapping of poultry.
3. A night of fun filled entertainment at the clubhouse. featuring song and dance numbers w/ live music and skits, along with a wheel of misfortune.
4. Several static displays for your learning and viewing pleasure.
5. small lectures and demonstrations by professional and respected members of the poultry and agriculture fields.
6. A Raffle and a special raffle for the kids.
7. and for the first time our very own Live POOPS Poultry Auction.
8. Printed programs of the days events.
9. POOPS T-shirts and possibly hat's & visors for sale at the clubhouse.
10. POOPS Grand Prizes, 2-6 mo Golden Feather Memberships to the BYC.
11. A live reading for the kiddos followed by a Pinata.
12. Awards ceremony with ribbons to recognize our young 4-H & FFA & Poultry show winners and county & state fair winners.

and much much more!!!!!!!!!!!.

A special operations commitee has been formed and several of our fine upstanding members have offered to give freely and happily of their time and expertise. they will head up the following appointed ares of intrest.

AL (al6517) & Monty (Buckguy20): Commitee chairmen.

Monty and Myself will be posting more specifics and details on these areas in a later post. As always Monty will be seeking Donations for the clubhouse rental and the cabin reservation info at KOA. We tried so very hard to choose a date for this event that would fit 99.9% of are available members, the weather, POOPS planning and reservation schedule, and local and regional events. The good folks at KOA have been so gracious to have invited us back and we recieved some very good positive feedback from are members, that this was a good fit for our needs. As a group we are known for are steadfastness once we set our minds to a task, it is now up to each and every one of us to come together and contact the appropriate principle to offer any help and suggestions, ya'll know the drill. The principle heads will start to post a list of names and services volunteered as it begins to come together in their areas.

So Okies let the festivities begin in the tradition of the most poplular group thread on this BYC forum.

Al , I have been playing phone tag with Rhonda at KOA so I went there and she was gone to get supplies. I am supposed to get with her later today.
I have a list to discuss with her but I wanted to check with you to see if you have any questions.
Let me know.
Monty
Edited to add this was supposed to be a PM and I am an idiot.

OK I have a favor to ask of everyone that is going to be at POOPS, my wife likes the chickens but she doesnt get to involved with them she looks at them as food and that is ok but maybe when we get there I could get a little help on telling her how much fun it is and how much fun this site is I have been trying to get her to sit up a account here on BYC but she doesnt seem interested so maybe after she meets the great people on here she will give in and get a account and become more active with the chickens.
