		<description>oh. 

I'm not being contentious about the overuse of anti-bacterial soap and such doing more harm than good, just like I wouldn't argue with the overuse of antibiotics doing the same.

Cautiously avoiding spats that may deprive my dear one of home brew,

		<description>I edited a paper this morning on the subject of Equine Piroplasmosis/Babesiosis.  Tongue-twisting.  The opening sentences?  

"Eradication and control of tick-borne diseases are ever-growing concerns for the United States, due to the constant evolution of infectious agents, enhanced international travel, intensification of animal production systems, and the looming threat of bioterrorism.  Equine piroplasmosis is a cause for concern given the disease establishment in southern Florida and the potential introduction of the disease from imported horses."  

The truth is that, in a sense, certain animals in some areas ARE dirtier than they used to be, especially with disease-stuffed rats, insects, and all else sneaking their landward way off of boats from other lands.

This of course, is no reason to refrain from the good life.  I just like to be contentious, you know, like women do. 

(And for the record, Millie's mud-stained bare feet are virtually indistinguishable from those of a country lass, although the mud here in Depew is probably less healthy than it is in Nanticoke.  We hear there's land available...)

p.s. I did arrive with empty hands, and my boy feels the lack.</description>

Well, you were not there were you?  He was not asking if it was manure.  He really had not ever been in mud before.  Why are you so jumpy anyway?  I remeber you being sooo suprised that potatoes grow underground!  Perhaps the two of you can plant a tater tree in the mud together!  :)

		<description>In defense of the "little tyke"...(because he needs SOMEONE to defend him...), knowing the particular child...I know he knew what MUD was-what he was asking was whether or not that mud was MANURE.  And second of all-you know as well as I do, this little boy would say anything to draw attention to himself.  That's my take.</description>

		<description>Oh, I see! The women merely "talked" while the men ever so much more respectably "enjoyed conversation." ;-)

That mud thing is sad. At first I thought you were going to say he didn't know what a goat was...but not to know what &lt;I&gt;mud&lt;/I&gt; is? Haul that boy's parents in for criminal neglect!</description>

I don't think she took any home to John.  I forgot to remind her, and I'm not sure if the ole boy is going to get any.
