You could even go and speak to him/her about where you can get a good goat from, as obviously you want one that is healthy and of good pedigree, (do goats have pedigrees?)<BR/><BR/>Then you could be Jen "goat lady" Jones.<BR/><BR/>N.b. If Jones is your really surname I promise I am not a stalker.Jo Beaufoixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00957369658590225971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5400596473404565623.post-11537816427050972392007-07-03T14:45:00.000-04:002007-07-03T14:45:00.000-04:00Hello Miss, I tagged you my very first meme that I...Hello Miss, <BR/><BR/>I tagged you my very first meme that I initiated! woo!Flutterbothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17462610275856690962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5400596473404565623.post-73943095726693024002007-07-03T12:25:00.000-04:002007-07-03T12:25:00.000-04:00Hi Jen :)That really sounds like a cozy town :)A n...Hi Jen :)<BR/><BR/>That really sounds like a cozy town :)<BR/><BR/>A nice nickname, hmmm..<BR/><BR/>'wireless' :)<BR/><BR/>heheheAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5400596473404565623.post-37394635918361265542007-07-03T11:49:00.000-04:002007-07-03T11:49:00.000-04:00I've always been fond of the nickname "wheelbarrow...I've always been fond of the nickname "wheelbarrow," though I'm unclear what one would have to do to earn that name...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14720134266368638729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5400596473404565623.post-78577948505453423902007-07-03T11:13:00.000-04:002007-07-03T11:13:00.000-04:00Ah...rural life.

He had to run the board for it, and this little old lady used to get on every day at noon and read off who was in the hospital, who had died, and what the specials were at the local IGA. You knew you were someone special in town when you made it on the "Sick Call" program.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07900746787671291548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5400596473404565623.post-23530497843634401802007-07-03T10:20:00.000-04:002007-07-03T10:20:00.000-04:00I love those newspapers too.

(If you're interested I did a four-part series on my first newspaper on my blog; click on journalism).<BR/><BR/>Whenever I holiday in the UK, I always buy the local rag to find out what really is going on. And to be amused and intrigued by all the little weird and wonderful stories.<BR/><BR/>Go on, buy the goat.Dumdadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00070838905120958459noreply@blogger.com
