Nice to see kids riding again. Seems like for a while they started on quads or motorbikes Lots of "million dollar" kids horses showing up too.

Burnt, that should be a classic quote!

Often seems like , even though a party tries to come across to the voters as honest and well meaning, politics tends to make them into dishonest dictators after a while.

Terry, I would still like to know why so many cattle producers in our area are getting terrible cancers. One friend thinks it may be from the chemicals used for parasites. Most of us havn't been as careful as we should be handling these. Way before I can remember, cattle were "dipped" by making...

If my husband can learn to understand the above, he must be a genius! I havn't talked to anyone that can understand what our once great PC gov. has sunken to and what they are trying to do to mostly rural people, you know, those I believe will become more and more valuable as food producers!

Right, "involved" is for interested onlookers, " joined", like your bacon, is a TRUE committment! However I may be swayed to be a joiner, especially when I checked my mailbox earler to find a membershp package with my first 12 to sell ASAP. Be one less to peddle if I bought one myself! My Care...

And as usual had to reply to someone or something. To those of you thinking I have "joined" something, I have not (yet anyway) joined anything. My positions are purely voluntary and as such I guess i can quit any time someone gets too bossy and overbearing. Right? Good night all.

Good bye BS friends. I won't be arond for a while. Taking a volunteer position with the Wildrose Alliance party to see if they can't replace the dictators our pc's seem to have become in Edmonton. Have to help try to save our local hospital. Have to get a pony/ horse ready for my little...

My thoughts exactly, Randy!

I had an email this morning. I said "Drink, don't drive!" The price od gas is now more than the price of beer!

Thanks again mrj. I am behind you a little in years and experience, but I have lived on the same ranch in the same house (part of it anyway) for all my 65 years. I hope your take on BSE is right and not really connected to humans. It's just so frustrating sometimes when watching or hearing the...

Hi Terry, I respect your opinion also. I have always thought this world would not be a very good place to be if everyone thought the same about everything. Just think, we would all be trying to do the same thing at the same time, pretty crowded I think! It always annoys me when I hear anyone...

You are so right! Although, as a Canadian, I have been trained my whole life to "turn the other cheek", to "see the best in everyone", it hurt SO BAD when BSE was reported in our province, of course it hurt because we went from being affluent ranchers to being almost destitute, but what hurt ME...

Oh dear, should I get my duly registered shot gun, go out and hide in the coulees, what should I do, lots of places to put my body, I guess I'll just take a chance that those I have offended today won't be able to find me or that it takes too much expensive gas to drive to my house!

[size=18]Thanks for your responses. I am female, have been married to the same man for 47 years in May, have lived on the same Ab. ranch for all 65 years of my life, told some one recently how interesting it would be if there was a way to know how many cattle had been sold off this place since...

Thanks for your comment, I enjoy "my" steaks too!

Reply to flounder... Here in Canada we know that BSE is still around. The only difference between us and other countries is that our gov, our media uses the "Hey, Look what we got" approach in reporting these cases. Other countries are still hiding their cases or not even looking for/finding...

Burnt, the first part of your post about "cow calf people not having it so bad" reminds me of another rancher friend who, sadly for him and all that know him has had to undergo cancer surgery and now chemotherapy. One specialist asked him what he did for a living. He replied, "I am a rancher"...

No, have never felt the need to be a member of an organized group. I went to a meeting of a local Dr. recruitment group just a few weeks ago and was almost elected to the board of the group. I backed out quickly when I asked "Who can we write/email about this issue? The then chairman, now the...
