We have had as many as 25 or so.
We got busted by the township and are now preparing to fight with them to allow us to keep maybe 6 or so.
I live within village limits and the neighbors out back had two goats for awhile. They had to walk them on leashes, but were not allowed to take them to the park, as they didn’t abide by the pooper scooper laws...They stunk and make quite the racket. They, also, used the family car to climb on. What a wreck that was. It was the summer of 2001. They slaughtered them for food eventually.
Now there is to be an 8th book in the Harry Potter series. Hmm.
Busted??? LOL
When the dogs and cats got thrown in my aunt’s pool together, the wet furphew could not be imaged!
Then it got too late, and the neighbors declared a curphew on the furphew. And de nefphew.
It’s a zoning violation. No laughing matter.
The report that the Stewardship Commission sacrifices black chickens behind the picnic pavilion is mere furphy. Also, we were drunk.
Good one
Who ratted yinz out?
The town’s around here have no such laws, not even our village does.
My daughter spotted a mama bear with two cubs strolling the ‘hood last night. Just next door.
It started storming at 4AM and didn’t quit until 10-too wet to work on a patio for a customer-myself and my 3 fellow workers are not able to get to the main FM roads anyway-the river and creeks are over the bridges on the roads out here, and I know not to try to cross, even with a 4x4... I had no SAT internet until 10 either, so I’ve been able to get ahead on materials lists, etc-
Bernie is missing out on
One of the best ways yet
To make Hillary nervous
And see her really sweat-
Just point out the furphys
She brings out every time
She’s asked about anything
That just might be a crime
From where she got her name
To dodging fire and running
Innocent e-mails about yoga-
The list is really stunning...
I have begun to believe the pope may be apostate-he wouldn’t be the first one...
If the crusaders had been allowed to finish the job 600+ years ago, there probably wouldn’t be an issue with muslims, either...
I don’t think even the city of SA has a regulation about no chickens-but they don’t allow pigs. The burb we lived in outside the city allowed even one horse per family, as well as other livestock-people had everything from chickens and guineas to rabbits and goats-one woman had 6 beehives, too.
Out here there is livestock everywhere, but these are acreage properties, so it doesn’t matter what critters you have...
This doesn’t have anything to do with Fred Murphy, does it?
Or is Fred Murphy himself a furphy?
A++++ Excellent.
The Harris trial had closing arguments today. Harris opted for a nonjury trial so it’s up to the judge now. Soon, I expect.
Thank you!
If she’s worried about the Bern now, just imagine how she’d freak out if he so much as mentioned even one of her well documented lies...
The lady next door, who’s like bipolar.
She feels real bad now, but she’s basically ruined her relationship with my wife and daughter.
We’ll have to ask for a variance on lot size and distance from property line. We need 1 acre and we have 0.85.
Our hopeful ace is that we have a letter stating that my daughter uses some of them as Emotional Support Animals (defined in federal law).
