Gifts from the internet! Thank you, Cheryl - they arrived safely, if a teensy bit softly. :)

Is that you on the left? Great. Pants.

No, I'm in the powder blue suit. That's my brother in the great pants.

Hey have you seen the blooper reels? So much awesomeness. It's like a parade!

Yes. They are amazing. Sometimes I watch just to cheer myself up.

Bottle fed goats always try to eat you. Anything that protrudes is fair game.

See? Confusing.

acidponcho replied to your post: Vegetarian eggs

I’m a vegetarian, and I’ve never heard that term before. Maybe it means eggs from free range chickens kept separate from roosters to avoid any chance of fertilization. Or maybe it’s a marketing phrase.

I suspect it's a marketing ploy intended to confuse people who are trying to live a vegetarian life because even if there is no rooster present, the eggs are still a meat product and free range hens are still ingesting meat-type products in the form of bugs, rodents and carrion. I think false marketing is vile and that's why this bothers me so much. I know a woman who eats only vegetarian eggs, being under the impression that they are meat free when in reality, that's a contradiction in terms. No matter how often I do a net search, I can not come up with a rational explanation that would designate an egg as vegetarian. Next time you go to the grocery, look around for vegetarian eggs. They cost about twice what other eggs do and I just don't understand the reasoning for the term.

Thanks very much for chiming in. I'd really like to know what the answer is.
