Someone has offered to take all of my extra roosters...... (On facebook).

But the fact that they just said they wanted them... And didn't make any side comments..... I dunno.... But I wonder if they want my roosters for.... A kind of fighting not to be mentioned on BYC.

I am all for eating chickens...l but I am against that "sport"


But I wanna get rid of my roosters....


And I worry that if I ask questions, they will just lie.


I dunno.... Just feeling uneasy.

A Poultry judge posted once that our roosters would not be good for any part of that sport, not even for sparring.

Sell them!

I cant believe people actually attach their names to specific lines bred exclusively for that cruel purpose. I think it's just mean and wrong on so many levels.

@perchie.girl We still have a five cent bottle deposit on all soda and beer even though everything is recycled. It's more to keep people from throwing them out along the road, and if people do they get picked up. I don't think any is reused any more, just melted down. I do remember buying 'Old Milwaukee' 24pk case in a thick cardboard box in the late 90s that was a dollar deposit for the box and 5 cents for each bottle, they were refilled. There was a well worn ring on the top and bottom of where the label was where the bottles rubbed together.

When I was a kid me and my younger sister would ride our bikes three miles to our little town, get books at the little library and each get a bottle of Sprite at the gas station, hers was always free. They were still glass bottles with flat bottoms so you could look at the inside of the cap, I couldn't read it but the 'sorry try again' caps only had three words, 'congratulations your a winner of a 12oz 'Sprite' had many words and easy to pick out. Lol!

The box? They wanted the box back also, that was why it was heavy duty, people would return the bottles in the box for all the deposit $. $2.20 all together. I haven't seen them in yrs. I have found some of the old glass milk jugs at a gas station. Half gallon chocolate milk, can't remember how much they said the deposit was but I plan on getting one and keeping it. My grandparents always had a similar glass orange juice jug in their fridge for water. They had sulfur water, I couldn't drink it out of the tap, out of that jug it was bearable.

You still can get those at health food stores... There is only ONE Raw milk producer in California and they pack their milk in glass. its like nine or ten bucks a gallon....

When we lived in Las Vegas we had milk delivery every few days... By 8 am it would be pushing a hundred degrees there in the summer. so Rather than leaving the milk on the door step they had an aluminum insulated box they put the milk in... It was big enough to hold two of those glass containers.

Back then the seal on top was foil you pulled that off and inside was a paper seal like a plug you pulled out.... A teeeeeeny bit of cream would have floated on top and mom absconded with that for her coffee... LOL.

I dont remember how mom sealed it when it went back into the refrigerator...


With regard to my question above I was wondering what they use that five cents ,we pay on containers, for.

Deb, I think universal user accounts are the norm nowadays, but of course some tools might still use other logins.

Not in the US. My login/password count is well above being able to be counted on 2 hands. All with different rules. To get into our pay system it required a 24 character password, in a foreign language with 80 special characters. I just stopped checking to see if I was paid.

We still have these here. I'm drinking milk from this:


They have the gallons, too, but we generally do this size. The bottle deposit is pretty stiff on it, but you do get it back. We take them to the farm every couple months. They have a barnyard to explore, tons of animals, it's a great Saturday trip.

Quote: I think also it depends on the industry... I was working with Proprietary product development information... They ran a program on our email to make sure No one was sharing Proprietary information with either Vendors, clients, or competitors... Even uncle Bubba...

Later when I worked in a Biomed company there were other considerations... Again proprietary but also the information was very sensitive because we were working with product development.... And leaks of "issues" with a product could be devastating for the company.

SCG you may be familiar with our product... Cardinal Health makes Nurses station Cabinets where you key in a pass word and it dispenses what ever products it carries .... from Catheters to Note pads.... (not all in the same but similar inventory control. Also we made those huge machines that dispense drugs in the pharmacy. They have since been bought out...
