[QUOTE="Hippie Rancher, post: 1328870, member: 4203"] I wonder if you are still reading this thread? Don't blame you a bit if you aren't, a lot of people can be obnoxiously rude, espcially on line. The same jerks would probably jump to help you out in person but something about keyboards and monitors can bring out the donkey in even decent men. I have a good friend who is German. One time when I went to visit her we went to the Alsace region, and my impression of France was in comparison with my impression of Germany (yes many German names in that area, but the people are pretty French to me) In Germany the tables and chairs (and many of the people too!) are stout and sturdy, the food hearty and large servings, the wine glasses filled to the top. In France the chairs are spindly, the food is rich and artistic - and small portions served on large plates. The wine is very good but the glasses are less full. :D The farmers markets are freaking AWESOME! OMG the cheese and sausage, so good. Good olives from the south as well. (I love olives). The road signs are better, at least where I went compared to where I was in Germany and that was a surprise. Along the Rhine both countries are full of vineyard and old castles. Old Europe had nothing on the current need to in the US to place an identical strip mall/fast food grouping at every major highway intersection. LOL I didn't get to meet any cattle raisers, unfortunately, but would love to know more about your operation. Don't let the guys get you down - it is men and politics and I know you probably have similar types there. Bienvenue! [/QUOTE]
