Hello Oregonians!
I'm from the Washington thread too - but since I have a sister in Jacksonville, I reckon I can visit here for a while!
I have to say, I think those moderators do a fine job, considering the amount of posts on BYC and many of them have families and other "duties".
I feel a bit guilty really - I didn't read all the info, or forgot some of it, and didn't remember what the "REPORT" button was for. We should all be more vigilant and take more responsibility for what goes on, then the Mods won't have to do so much cleanup.
And for all those Washingtonians who expressed sympathy over the loss of my little "Tillie", thank you. I don't remember who said it, but someone mentioned becoming attached to our animals. I think that in Tillie's case, it was because when she got sick, and I brought her into the garage, that I spent so much more time with her. When the animal or bird is outside with the flock, you don't get so personally involved with each one. At least I don't - we have so many it's hard to keep count/track of them all. Well, except for the goats, 'cus now we only have one left and I'm trying to find her a companion. I spend as much time with her as I can, so she doesn't get lonely, but now I'm getting really attached to HER!
