I have never milked a cow I have never seen a cow being milked. I don't know what kind of cows give milk or when they can give milk or what is a dairy cow or beef cow etc... I'm a city boy.  I used to drink brown cows. They were good.   I know what part of the cow provides white milk but.......... what part of the cow gives brown milk?  |

Funny when you talk about misconceptions...there are those out there that still believe that in Canada it is winter year round, that we drive dog sleds and that Wayne Gretsky is our Prime minister...lol Which leads me to another story...ha ha...when I was little my brother had me convinced that cows where horses and vice versa and that brown "horses" gave chocolate milk! I feel your pain! Just like everyone believes people from New Jersey talk (tawk) like they are Tonny Danza!  Dress like Snookie!  And behave like Chris Christie!  And ......that we all have a refinery in our back yards! Sigh! |

One time when we were in California, a woman asked where we were from. When we said New Jersey she said that we did not talk like we were from New Jersey. I told her that is how we speak. Then she actually said, "Oh, no. I can tell you have cleaned up your act!"  |

I don't think I would know how to fix my hair and makeup like that. Or, dress like she does. Thank God that show is off the air!
Chris Christie is the governor of New Jersey. He has a bad temper, yells at people who don't agree with him, insults people, is allegedly involved in a Bridgegate scandal, and.......would like to run for president of the United States!!!!! |

Old baseball joke:
The upstate New York farmer says he keeps the radio on baseball during milking sessions.
Says his cows don't care much for the Mets, but they pay attention to the Yanks.
(I suspect that, years earlier, it was the Giants or maybe the Dodgers on the other end of the gag.)

I used to drink brown cows. They were good. If you are ever near one and the tail goes up......RUN! They pee gallons!!!! And the mud pies they make can fill a large bucket....and the poo is not nice, little dry pellets! Just one big, wet, steamy PLOP!
Turns out Chris Christie is not involved in the Bridgegate scandal and I like him. |

Turns out Chris Christie is not involved in the Bridgegate scandal and I like him.Chris Christie is a little too rough, loud, and rude for me. A short while ago, he said about Ed Rendal (who used to be the mayor of Philadelphia), "Tell him (Ed) I knew him when he was somebody." My mother always said, "what goes around comes around." One day soon someone might be saying that about Christy! |

Have milked cows and sheep. When I worked in Philadelphia, the people I worked with were mostly city filk and did not know that, first there are dairy cows, and there are beef cows, and second they did not know that a cow had to have a calf in order to give milk. They just assumed that all cows give milk  And that cows usually freshen (give birth and start lactating) every few years to make the cows give a lot of milk. Calves usually only nurse from their mothers for a few days. Then are separated from their mothers (sorry Bullet). Then the regular milk comes in which is what the family will use until the cow goes dry. Thank goodness I don't have to worry about that. I drink almond milk. Okay Dowsee, I can just hear you asking, "And just how do you milk an almond?!" Don't know, don't care!! Just glad someone came up with the process!!! |

Well, now that you mention it. It gets me thinking!!!!  While I think about it, here's a paradox for all of you  |

Oh yes, remember that well... hind legs move a little, tail starts to go up, we grab the milk bucket in one hand and the stool in the other and back off real fast!

I am also equally comfortable with men and women and never have a problem being the only woman in a situation. I took a self defense class on Sunday and was the only female in the group. Tough-talking, extremely direct people are fine, as long as they can receive responses in kind (which I am more than capable of delivering). Christie is much better than the crook--Jon Corzine--that he replaced. |
