msscamp, you kind of are missing something. On another thread in jest folks were picturing CB as Hoss and I simply pointed out he was more like Festus. See, Festus is a good guy that will give advise but he don't sugar coat anything. He rides a mule (sound familiar?). He like Hoss is the first...

APLUSMNT, did not "get" your last post. Must be tired, can't tell if it's a flip-flop from your previous or what. Alice, PM sent. Sorry, think I can get to sleep now! Take care, J

Alcie, I googled your town and it has a population of 16,900!! My gosh the nearest town to us has a population of around 3K and that is 15 miles away. It's got 2 dang stop lights. If you lived in an actual (what around here anyway, as I know everything is bigger in Texas) small town you would...

I'M ON WELFARE! Does that make me a man now? Just curious as to those talking about welfare. Did someone GIVE you the farm/ranch you live on or did you actually go out and BUY it? Blood, sweat, and tears don't count as an answer on this one as I've been there and done that as has my dad and...

Alice, I'm married to a small town physician. She/we could move to the city and make double our income here but we CHOOSE to live on a dirt road and both of us come from VERY rural backgrounds. No silver spoon's around here. So watch it when you go talking about doctors "raping" the welfare...

Don't bring WIC into this if you don't know what it is. It stands for women, infant, and children. Wife is in the healthcare field and I know of the program and it's about one of the only good one's out there. It's not like a program where people can take $100 worth of food stamps into a...

This post makes me wonder if some of ya' just don't know how our government works. I'll try and give you a real quick and simple overview. It's full of separate agencies and all the agencies want a piece of of the pie (OUR tax dollars). The Department of Agriculture as well as state...

Most used gun I have is a Ruger 22/45 pistol with a 5.5 bull barrel in stainless. Takes care of about anything my cur either tree's or has cornered in "his" yard. My primary CCW is a Smith 3913 I've had since around 1990, it was my BUG (back up gun) when I was a police officer. Got a third...

Hillary Clinton and her driver were cruising along a country road one evening when an ancient cow loomed in front of the car. The driver tried to avoid it but couldn't- the aged bovine was struck and killed. Hillary told her driver to go up to the farmhouse and explain to the owners what had...

I just read a small article in our on-line paper that the governor had ordered the FSA to begin assessment of the 106 counties under severe drought conditions so they can decide if we are gonna be possibly getting any drought assistance since so many are already feeding hay and selling off...

Dave, I can't answer for Ollie but when you have had a spell of daytime highs up near 100 and the overnight "lows" have been in the 70's then 50 something feels downright cold! I started out this morning in a long sleeve t-shirt. J

Dun, checking in from SW Texas county. 1/2 inch of rain early Wednesday, couple limbs blown down. We missed the first round of storms that some got. I guess last Monday when we were out of town we got 1 3/4 inches of rain! Least that was what was in the gage unless the neighbor boy who was...

I got a check once but if I remember right no money was paid out till at least 6 months after the drought was declared and the funds were applied for. It was when I ranched in Arkansas and don't even remember now if the check came from the federal or state government. They did do a few spot...

Been lurking here for a while and decided it was time to join in. I was not "farm raised" but both my folks were and I pretty much grew up on my grandparents farms in Kansas and Oklahoma. My dad's folks were ranchers and my mom's were row crop farmers so I've had my fair share of experience in...
