Welcome back Mandie!

OK, ladies, I'm very upset right now. Here's the deal: my neighbor has had a dead buffalo laying on his picnic table since Saturday. It's been bothering me and I finally called the cops today and asked if there's anything that can be done about it. The guy said to me "Do you know how big a buffalo is?" Well, I grew up in Nebraska. I went to college in a town that had a buffalo refuge nearby, yes, I know how big a buffalo is. The cop treated me like there is nothing wrong with having a carcass laying in your yard for three days... Am I the only person who thinks there's something wrong with that? I sure hope not.

Thanks for the welcome back Tonyalyn...I remember you too. I think we both used to post in the daily menu journal thread! It feels good to be back

JessIsOk -- I think that's DISGUSTING! You are not the only one seeing something wrong in a dead buffalo laying on a picnic table for 3 days. YUCK!!!! So are the cops gonna do anything????

Hey all, haven't been here since last week... I was sick all weekend with a hacking cough, stuffed up head, and then flu like symptoms that could have been the flu. Going on day 4, thought I was getting better this morning, but am now sick again. This is not fun while being PG. Plus my Braxton Hicks contractions (for those non-mothers, early contractions) are hitting me big time!

Jess... I think when you live in town, dead carcasses should not be allowed. A couple years ago, my strange neighbor that is now gone, had a dead dear hanging from his back patio. I looked out the window and saw that. Too gross. When hubby goes hunting, he leaves the animals at my parents or his, depending on where he is hunting because I don't think it should be at our house!!

OK, have to track down some 7-up...

Jess - that's ridiculous! I'd say call animal control. Rotting carcasses should not be laying out anywhere, especially a backyard.

Well, as you know, I called the cops and the officer said he'd go see what my neighbor was doing with the buffalo and let him know that it was offensive to some people. I was sitting here questioning my sanity (since the cop made me feel crazy), and finally convinced someone from work to go with me to drive past the buffalo. We got there and the buffalo was gone. All that remained was the bloody tarp it had been laying on, and one of its hooves. So, I don't know if the cop had anything to do with the removal of the carcass or if the guy was just trying to get around to cleaning it, but either way, it won't be staring at me anymore when I get out of my car. Thank heavens that situation is resolved...

That was just too weird. I'm glad it's gone.

Yeah...glad it's gone! Grossy grossy!! Just the thought of it literally makes me sick! Now you can go back to looking out your window and not have to worry

Holy Union problems! I have had about 10 e-mails today from the union about strike stuff. All the colleges and universities are trying to co-ordinate a general strike (we're not very happy with our current government) so things have been going back and forth. Because I just started in September, I found out we've been without a contract for 1 full year. They're offering us 0-0-0 over the next three and they want to take away 2% of our benefits! What kind of crazy place is this?
OK, just had to rant a bit. If there is a general strike, we could be out for a while.
