so yesterday we were driving out on a country road. there was a farm with cows in the field. ok, so far so good. there was this hokey little store and out front they had bags of cow manure for $4.00. cow manure!!!!! i mean i know that the farmers put this on their fields in large quantities....... but these bags were plastic and about the size of a paper bag from the grocery store. did you ever????? or am i just too much of a city girl? either way i thought it was hilarious!!!

Yes, you are a city girl. You sound like me years,and years ago.
We went to a wedding up north from where we live. There was a sign that read : poe ta toes. My new DH got mad at me because i giggled about it for at least 4 country miles as we drove. I kept saying "where exactly are we going?".

lol I have the opposite story -- I am a country girl and moved to the city five years ago.

At one point, I dated a guy who worked late at night, so I would pick him up and we'd go out very late at night. One night I drove down a less-than-pleasant street in the city and saw this woman standing out in front of a closed building, taping her hips and checking her watch.

"Awww, poor thing! She's finished work and waiting for someone to come pick her up," I thought to myself.

So I picked up my then-bf and we headed back the way I'd come, back down this street. We again passed by this lady, still taping her hips and checking her watch. I said to then-bf, "Awww, I feel bad for her, she's waiting all by herself on the street."

Then-bf looked at me with a weird look on his face and said, "You're kidding, right?"

I had no idea what he was talking about and said, "No, she's been standing there for half an hour all by herself on this street in a bad part of town and she's waiting for someone to pick her up after work."

Then-bf burst out laughing and said, "Nada, that's a prostitute!!!"

Oh Ladynada that is too funny! My BF now DH was a bit of a boyscout. HE picked up a lady standing in the rain on Woodward at night and asked her where she wanted to go. She got in and looked at him,he looked at her. She told him a mile down the road. I laughed so hard when he told me. Because everyone here knows: Woodward= 15 mile to 9 mile crusing. 8 mile prostitutes and 7 mile male prostitutes. Everyone,except my UP North DH.lol

**Missy** · 05-23-2010, 04:14 PM

not wierd at all. What's wierd is that stores charge double that for their bags of it. LOL, special poop sold in the stores!

**KatieInLa2** · 05-23-2010, 09:53 PM

Roses love manure.

**Debbie-cat** · 05-23-2010, 10:03 PM

Yes you must be a city girl.

I just had two truckloads of that black gold dumped on my garden a few days ago.

**rosey7415** · 05-24-2010, 08:48 AM

My "you're in the country now" story has NOTHING to do with ladies of the evening!

We moved to the country 15 years ago. Two indicators that I wasn't in the big city:

DH and I are walking around our new neighborhood. This guy pulls up next to us in a car, "You must be the Dials, right?" when we admitted it, he put out his hand and said, "Hi. I'm Eric, your postman."

I had some paperwork or the other I had to file for buying our place. There was no mailbox here when we bought it and no housenumber in my paperwork, it was identified by the original developer's name and lot number. I needed the house number for the paperwork. So I called town hall with what I felt like was a REALLY dumb question, did they know my house number?

I explained that we'd just purchased this house on our street, and I didn't know the house number. Before I told her my name, the woman on the other end of the phone said, "Hi Judi, I'm Dee the tax collector, hold on, I can get your street number for you from the tax records." And she did!

For someone raised in Los Angeles and moving to NH from Tampa, this was dropping down the rabbit hole indeed!

Yup, I remember being in the city visiting a friend. I had on a really cute cotton dress. As we were driving to the bus station he laughed and said oh look, there is your dress. Which I think it was, only it was all stretched out and on a prostitute. We just laughed.

I have a small bag of manure that I use to feed my potted plants.

What's crazy is the price. I can get a pickup load for $20, by just driving 10 minutes to the skirts of our city. It does wonders for my lawn and flowers.

Too much of a city girl...said with a big smile of course. Cow manure, dung or poop depending on which term you choose to use is great for gardens and any other plant life you want to fertilize.
