Humorous challenges of being vegetarian/vegan-Chickens OT

[Guest guest]

Funny you mention your ex-boyfriends way of thinking about chickens.

DH was at the bank the other day, talking with the lady we normally

deal with when the topic of chickens was brought up. He told her we

were up to 17 of them now. She asked why we would even want to own

such a nasty animal. What? He asked her. She told him that she

thinks that are very mean. He laughed. You have to understand we

hand raised all of them from about 10 days old. Held them, played

with them. They came running out of the coop when they hear our

voice. They let us pick them up and pet them. They are just so much fun.

cheesecake.

lots of yummy things, and I wear a size 16, which I would think proves

that! A related question: " Why aren't you skinny? " Um, because

there are lots of yummy things in the world to eat that never had a

face and I work a sedentary job?
