I wonder how long I can be on here until I get in trouble… anyways, hello Nabi! I won’t be here for long, just long enough to find places to buy goats for my mom and then I will disappear again. I’ll still occasionally be on GC again though.
I got my eight chicks on Tuesday! All arrived alive but a Legbar chick died yesterday.
Also, I’m selling my horse. I’ll explain on GC sometime so that you can tell FBA.
