SBC/GW's Journal- Spring shows DONE! & Update

[Green Acres Farm]

Just venting- what is wrong with people today?

So someone was just really excited about Nationals coming up and was posting pics of fresh clipped goats that they were taking and some knucklehead made reference of posting pics and trying to influence the judges.
Seriously.
The person posting has a tragic and amazing story and it was so good to see them posting, yet now they have stopped because some dolt just had to be negative.
I really don't think judges are scouting out FB to be influenced. Good grief.

Seriously?! That’s ridiculous.

I would like to add, though, that I sometimes miss out on information when shortened names or initials are used. A search for a term like "Nigerian" might miss "Nigies" and stuff like that. I try to post the term and then switch to shorthand for the following discussion. One of my friends was trying to sell his kids and missed out on a lot of searches because he shortened the term without including the whole phrase "Nigerian dwarf goat".

I do the same thing with terms and I guess it's out of habit from so many years of technical writing. First use is to spell it out.

I agree, I do this most of the time with EPG (Eggs Per Gram)and other stuff, but when their is a group of all Nigerian Dwarf people they know what Nigie is and boy do some get their panties in a wad if someone says Nigie! I can understand why someone with Rottweilers would correct anyone saying Rockwilder or Rockwelder... but to get yourself so worked up over Rottie ... um... get a life.

On another note- how cool is this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! for 3 HOURS straight we had a car show in front of our house! Yep from about 7- 10:30 we had a stream of all AMERICAN classic cars! It was amazing! I couldn't belive how many cars, there must be a huge show somewhere. We were milking and we got to enjoy all the cars. It was just beyond words. I called DH to tell him what he missed and I was so happy to hear he didn't miss it! He said when he left the house this morning he was going the opposite was and all down our country highway and up the main big highway they were traveling. So he got an hour long show too!
That made my day that he got to see it!

---------------------------------

Then there is this.
Can't wait to see Carolina Girl with a real fill.
This was her this morning.
Really like what we see from her.
I mistake her for Ruthie all the time. GW says that's not Ruth! Carolina Girl has the sweetest face. She is a real gem this one. Not a snot like most Nigies ( oops should I say Nigerian Dwarf )
I am glad she has no edema.

Carolina Girl is looking nice!

My pet peeve is when people say "Roos" for rooster. It just drives me nuts.....But I think that getting bent out of shape over nigies or Tolis ..... how about "goatie" I think that is silly; sounds like some prissy person.... . But except to make a comment like this, I'm not gonna make a fuss. Better they use a nickname than not be interested or talk about them at all.

Nice udder on the goat.
