They say "you guys" in the urban areas of Ct too. I grew up saying you guys until I moved down to Va and then started picking up the y'all. Around here it is usually spelled with the apostrophe.

Yep, F is for fantastic Fred

I have to use peanut btr to curb my cravings for nuts....I would sure try the cheese, tho....

Now days you can get almond, cashew, hazelnut butters Just for your tasting pleasure.

Still -- not as good a homemade cheese!

All y'alls is a double redneck grammatical error and will get you a "F" on the Redneck Language test.

Sure glad I didn't have occasion to embarrass myself in that manner!
"Y'all" is gender neutral. "You guys" seems sorta wrong for a bunch of females even though they themselves use it frequently. Maybe we should make "y'all" the standard for the country!

Since I am eating low carb from now on, my go to smack is almond butter mixed with room temperature butter and a generous shake of red (real) sea salt! Yum, yum, yum! Boy howdy, that sure satisfies my cravings, for an afternoon snack.

I am sure it would offend "some type of group"...Yall.

True, some people manage to be offended by something no matter what.

Well, today we had to disbud little Parsley. He is the brown buckling, that Hope had two weeks ago.

Dannny Boy (his daddy) is a polled Myotonic buck. His first born, Calendula is polled. I double checked Sage, and for sure he doesn’t have any horn buds growing! So he is polled.

I kept checking both little boys, and wasn’t feeling horn buds. Then, this morning, I was holding him, and DH was standing right there. So, I said he should pet and love on Parsley, so he continues to get used to being touched. Then I heard him say uh-oh! I didn’t like the sound of that!!! Then he told me he felt horns.

So, before we could think about it and put it off, I asked DH to get the disbudding box and iron. We then went to the barn and disbudded him. I HATE doing that!

Latestarter disbudded our last two kids (Hope and Faith), so that last time I disbudded a kid was Angelica (2 years ago), and she ended up with scurs, that kept falling off when she bumped them. Back then, I used the iron three times per side, and rushed the burning part, because I felt bad hurting her. This time, I looked at DH’s watch and forced myself to go a full 10 seconds, and did each horn four times, using an ice pack between each burn. I pray it took!!! I did end up with a nice copper ring on both sides. So, I am pretty sure he will not develop horns. Time will tell .. . ..

I know you hated doing that. You love your goats and hate causing them pain, but this is something that has to be done. I hope it takes and no scurs appear. Something tells me that you got it right this time.

 

[Bruce]

You sucked it up and did the job, I bet there will be no horns.

Thanks @Baymule and @Bruce!
