Today I applied for this wonderful job - http://www.thinksocialmedia.com/assets/365dod/JobDescription_dist.pdf - which I think would be a wonderful way to spend a year. Let me know if you think I'd fit! It would be a continuation of my present lifestyle, only I wouldn't have to buy the groceries and cook the food.
One of my wonderful nieces informed her FB friends today that she is going to get a bunch of chickens in a few weeks. I remember when we were little, my mom and dad had chickens, and I used to help gather the eggs, putting my hands under the warm bony little tummies to get them, and I often wish I could still have that experience. However, she isn't going that route - no, she's going to raise those chickies for the slaughter. I would have been extremely distraught if I had seen my Mom or Dad wring a feathery neck, and would have been even more distraught if a 'pet' ended up sitting on the dinner platter surrounded by potatoes and turnip.
Which is why I know for sure all our chickens were kept only for eggs. Except for Cassie, our true pet hen who we used to push around in an old baby carriage, her little hen head on a pillow, and a blankie pulled up around her little hen neck. Now that was cool. I'm pretty sure she met her demise in a snow and dog-related incident - my memory is spotty. I imagine Cliff could fill in the gory details. I hope we didn't eat her. If so, I guess I could have put her on my "most exotic dish" blank on the above application.
