Ya'll need to come to the meeting, not just to hear Brent Orr a Ms State educated fellow tell about the farm bill, but to eat some of Tunica du4u's cooking. That is the only reason I'll be there.

[GulfCoast]

"....a MS state educated fellow...." Isn't that an oxymoron??? I know it is with GH22

[tunica du4u]

GC, we want to hear more about that Gulf Coast Animal Lovers Chapter that's got started down yor way. I'm sure that subject will be brought up at the meeting

[Delta Duck]

You need to address him as Mr. VP GC. I think he got promoted in their Chapter.

[GulfCoast]

It does not matter what shenanigans you guys try, I am NOT going to hook you up with that mare. I know what y'all are after. You only think about ONE THING! That poor broken hearted mare, and y'all go making fun of her. Y'all need to go to sunday school or something. Disgusting.

[Po Monkey Lounger]

Some of the misinformed loudmouths on this board who dissed DU about this farm bill need to go to this meeting for enlightenment or to share their concerns with the folks responsible for the perceived farm bill DU flap. Of course, it takes more guts to actually do something than to whine about it anonymously on a message board.

[GulfCoast]

Either Old Bufflehead has changed his name, or jme has hijacked his signature line!

[Ringbill]

Looks like I will be there...hope to see y'all there

GC, you are correct. This is OB. Seems I lost my posting handle in the changeover to the new board. I think the old boad had a user name, password, and posting name. Only the user name and associated password was transferred over. Need some help in changing back to my normal posting name. Perhaps you or one of the other admins can lend a hand?

[Po Monkey Lounger]

Nevermind. I figured it out myself. Too much Old Charter, I guess.

[tunica du4u]

Very Good Response so far. Looks like the makings of a good meeting
