I actually looked at every single picture! You’re all gorgeous!

I usually jump in on these threads, so I won’t disappoint here. Unless my participation is disappointing, which I couldn’t argue with. Anyway, these [pictures](http://s28.photobucket.com/albums/c243/JimSox5/Dope%20Pictures/) are totally new to Dopers, so enjoy. ---

Ah! There’re too many pictures. I only made it to the second page. Here’s what I know: **malkavia** ’s got awesome glasses. Despite the loss of the _awesome_ moustache, I believe I have a Doper crush on **bouv** , both because of his pretty face and his excellent taste in survival guides. As for Mr. **Orzabal** ’s ugly mug, that is a lie. Vile calumny! Damned if the rest of you aren’t good-looking too. And have cute kids. ---

Ha! I was trapped in the house for three days because I couldn’t wear a shirt, let alone a bra – cold compresses get old after a while. I tried going into work, and I had to leave because people kept touching me. :eek: I’m flattered at your offer, but I can’t leave my little calvies behind! All 33 of them. And you don’t want me me making bales, because I can’t drive in a straight line with a tractor. Not even the little Allis-Chalmers we make hay with. It’s probably because I can’t see over the steering wheel. ---

Whoo! Green eyes represent! **pinkfreud** , I know you said in the “Things you envy about other people your age” thread in IMHO that you were 60, but I don’t believe it! You’re actually 45, right? > [@John Carter of Mars](#): > > So you’ve got the calf feeding job? One year I raised 42 on bottles(steers). Bought them from a dairy and after weaning turned them onto winter wheat pasture. That worked very well, but the next year my dairy guy went out of business. I had some health problems last year, so I moved back home so I’d be closer to my doctors. Things are looking up now, but I’m home until I figure out whether or not I’m going finish my English lit degree or start fresh again. Of the 33 calves not on pasture, only eight of them are heifers. Stupid bull calves. > [@](#): > > There’s not a single dairy left in this county, and once there were over 60 of them. Isn’t that sad? Big agribusiness is pushing out small producers all over the place. When you couple that with rising gas prices and the drought, that means farms are packing up all over the country. Has the drought been as bad in Alabama as it has in Tennessee? Something like 10-percent of all farmers called it quits in Tennessee last year. Supposedly dairy farmers here are going back to the pasture system instead of keeping the cattle inside all the time, but there’s still plenty of large-scale operations. Aw, thanks, **JimSox**! I’ll try to live up to it. **bouv** , maybe you could get a hairnet for your 'stache and call it a day.
