OK.....did anyone get invited? Is anyone going? I got an invitation. I'm confused as to why. We're just little ol Dairy Farmers. So I'm trying to feel around to see who they invited and why. If they're looking to get money out of us, sorry, they'll have to "milk" someone else.

I am dissappointed. No invitations here in Tennessee. I was hoping to be able to dress up in my jacket with tails, and put a cumberbund over my bib overalls. I was shining my boots to do some dancin too. Oh well, if there ain't no banjo picker, I don't want to go anyway! Haha!
I missed the article about the charity ball. I will have to go back and find it!

I didn't know you had to be invited to go. I have not received an invitation, though I don't expect one anyway. I have too much studying to do anyway.

Charity ball? Hmmm. Some balls are held for charity, and some for fancy dress, but when they're held for pleasure they're the balls that I like best.
Yeah, ok, so I've been listening to AC/DC today. I'll stop now.

Hahahahaha! I was thinking about that song when I first read about this charity ball.
I feel like this is where the Joker will come in and steal the piggy bank full of the donations with Batman soon to follow afterward.

Los....You could be right. But what you'd smell mostly is the silage. We do a really good job of manure management so our neighbors don't want to run us out of town! (haha)

Hope ya had the cover down on the gas grill! Ya never know how far the schrapnel will fly when ya spread manure. I learned early in my farming experience to always drive INTO THE WIND WHEN SPREADING!!!, haha.
I remember once when I was a kid. We finished cleaning the barn. I was driving the tractor, and my cousin from Long Island was sitting up on the front of the manure spreader while we drove to the field to spread. He was holding onto the levers on the front. I let the clutch out too fast and he went backwards into about two feet of soupy poopy, haha. I had to hose him off outside the milkhouse and drive him home in the BACK of the pickup to change clothes. We were about 16. We are both in our 60's now, and he probably still has not forgiven me, haha.
I wonder if he ever got that taste out of his mouth???

Gee, I never gave it a thought, but what an environmental service we are providing here. A clean and environmentally sound outlet to spread a little poo, and sling a little BS now and again! Hmmm. Darn, we are just so civic minded and compassionate.
