You could prop it up and someone walking along would just see a regular
cow, and then once they get closer, they would be in for a big surprise.

#151 half a cow?! you must have had a big freezer. Thats a couple months
worth of meat at least. That reminds of the old I Love Lucy episode, where
Lucy buys two sides of beef, not knowing two sides means a whole. So she gets
tons of beef and spends the rest of the episode trying to hide her mistake
from Ricky.

Damn Richard, I do not want to see how you or your family consumes beef
that a half a cow only lasts a couple of months! :)
I have a large freezer in the basement and when the meat is packed in
there, I can fit a side into it. But nothing else.

IBB in a horrible clumsy move, I slipped and fell in my own front yard
and twisted my knee. Then instead of taking care of it, I went and spent
four hours at the DIA walking through galleries (It was fun though!). I
paid for it yesterday. I could hardly walk. But, I am healing fast so I
will only be a temporary gimp thankfully.

re #160 well I meant a couple of months for a BIG family of carniverous
sorts who eat meat all the time, and have tons of guests over and
such. Anne, how long did your half a cow last?

My great grandmother still gets a cow every year from the folks to
whom she rents some land for ranching.

Growing up we utilised two freezers in the basement- a standing up type
and an on-its-side type. As for how long it lasted- I have no idea. I
didn't tend to pay attention to that sort of thing when I was 8.

No, a car tried to do that without too much effect,... just a bit of damage
that was fixed.

resp:168 - When I had to get rid of my Geo Metro, I decided that the
easiest thing was to donate it to charity. I forget which one but they
came and picked it up with a tow truck and all I had to do was meet
them so I could give them the keys and sign over the title. It was
pretty easy. I think you can deduct the value of the car from your
taxes too although I dont know for sure because at that time, I wasnt
itemizing my deductions so I never claimed it.

re #167 *two* freezers? anne was your dad a hunter? I guess hunters keep
an extra freezer to store their venison.

Nope, dad was definitely NOT a deer hunter. However, he grew up poor and
liked having plenty on hand in case a lean time crept up on us. Plus my
mom used to do things like make jams and jellys, and would make
blueberry syrup - and all sorts of things that would end up in the
standing up freezer for use down the road, including bread and veggies.
The on its side freezer stored meat and potato frozen stuff.
Keep in mind there were six of us at the time, and often extended family
would come over for a weekend.

It was! She would make it after we had gone blueberry picking- which
isn't as much fun as it sounds... ;)
