Eating corn on the cob - around, or across? Ketchup on hot dogs? Y or N. Answer carefully - these will tell us all we need to know. ---

> [@Vita\_Beata](#): > > Greetings PlebianAngel. Nice to see you here! Do you still have your horse/horses? Vita!!! Hey. I heard you were here. I am down to one miniature, but I don’t get up to the farm anymore. My mom and family still has all their horses and they’ve moved onto breeding goats too. How are you? ---

Plebian, I’m doing well, thanks for asking. We’re next door to a WI farm with about 25 black Percherons, and a few miles away there’s a farm with herds of cute goats and alpacas. We peer at the goats and say, “We should get some goats!” … then we laugh thinking of how we’d have to transport goats to and from MN-WI weekly. Ha! I really like how well this board is moderated, and appreciate that the “one account” rule is effectively enforced. Plus, I like posting on a board with a large number of posters, many from all around the globe. Glad you’ll be posting here also. ---

> [@Plebianangel](#): > > Around AND across..I just eat haphazardly. > > Ketchup on dogs, yes. Unless I have chili and coleslaw on them, than no. OMG you eat dogs??? I didn’t particularly care for them.. I prefer beef, pork, chicken, or turkey… ---

Vita, I forgot you’re from WI too! If you ever get down by me, let me know. I’m carless now so really don’t get out of the city. ---

Welcome, **Plebianangel**! Look around and enjoy the boards. You’ll get to know a lot of the posters fast enough. And don’t worry if you see bloodied banners flying through crimson skies, that’s just me and my horde of barbaric warriors. By the way, don’t worry about the squid, you’ll be fine if you keep your wits and blades about you.
