Quote:OK as for the emoticons ........ Well see I have a little secret stash that is NOT from BYC and sadly I have no idea how to share them.Ooohh, I hope they add some new ones!! Every now and then I see people use ones that we don't have up there ^^ and I'm like "what the heck!?! I wanna use that one but where is it!?! Hahaha.
OK nobody get all bent here. But the rally monkey is my attempt to get the WA thread BACK to the fun friendly way it was not long ago. I think when we make that happen many folks will see what an awesome group of elderly old codgers we are and hopefully people will also feel more comfortable to join into the group as it is.
What types of things do you mean when you say "Back to the fun friendly way it was"? Maybe we can all work together to get it there?
Oh and one more thing...why in the world are you stealing chickens??? LOL!!
Yes, jumping in on this thread is a little like merging onto the freeway when folks are driving at mad speeds! I too was pretty quiet for months before I finally connected with some people and started posting regularly. But I tell you, once you meet some BYCers in person, you will realize what incredible folks there are here. BYC peeps are some of the most giving, kind humans I've ever come across. And there are some quite outstanding cooks, so our potlucks at poultry shows are real good eating!
This thread moves pretty quickly, so it's totally normal to miss posts and get behind. If a post isn't responded to immediately, it may not be people ignoring, it may have been swallowed up in the tidal wave of posts after it! Or, folks just may not have an answer.
Oh nice!! I love food!! I'm lookin more and more forward to these meet ups for sure!I wanna be on the list!!
I have noticed how quickly this thread takes off, gone for two days and there's close to 300 posts to catch up on! Whew...
About the getting back to the way it was. I am referring to people being able to voice opinions with out others feeling it rude etc. I don't feel that I or any others have said so-n-so's way is wrong or that somebodies birds are junk. It is those kind of things that seem to be getting misconstrued and causing a lot of trouble here.
And as for why am I stealing chickens? Well this is a very good point of (don't take this harsh) take a few minutes to get to know others. The story is in text in my profile if anyone cares to get to know a little bit about me. My favorite place to shop is midnight chicken supply. Down at the corner of grab em and run!!!!
Potlucks!!!!!! Now ya wanna talk about a feast!!!! These folks know how to do it.
I could blow yer mind with some stories of how the peeps on here have gone WAY above and beyond to help not only peeps here but also total strangers.
And here is a line I really like and with permission I am going to borrow it with greatest respect to the man who said it (even though I never knew him he now has my respect for this).
