Sia | Friday, March 07, 2003 - 02:31 pm     Sorry, ignore my post: I just realized that I posted too late. My favorite book: Catalina, by Somerset Maugham. Answering Ophilia'sGrandma's question: my favorite comic strip is "Calvin and Hobbes," but it isn't published any more, sadly. I LOVED that strip!! Your favorite salad dressing (ranch, French, etc.)? |
Bandit | Friday, March 07, 2003 - 02:46 pm     Caesar or Italian. What's the last movie you saw in a theater? |
Wargod | Friday, March 07, 2003 - 02:51 pm     The Wild Thornberry's. LOL. What are your plans for this weekend? |
Max | Friday, March 07, 2003 - 06:14 pm     Run errands just 'cause I can do it all by myself (first time in five weeks I've been able to walk and drive ). Sandals on men....socks or no socks? |
Teatime | Friday, March 07, 2003 - 07:50 pm     No socks. Everyone has at least one area of expertise. In what area do your friends come looking for your help or advice? |
Zeno39 | Friday, March 07, 2003 - 08:25 pm     Crocheting or knitting Who is your favorite movie role(not the actor)? OG, I like For Better or Worse too! |
Ddr1135 | Saturday, March 08, 2003 - 02:39 am     Bridget Jones If given a free trip to Paris or Tahiti, which would you take? |
Sweetbabygirl | Saturday, March 08, 2003 - 03:06 am     Definitely Tahiti - Paris never appealed to me. Which Sweathog (Welcome Back, Kotter) did you like best? (I had a mad crush on Epstein...even sent Robert Hegyes a fan letter, lol!) |
Ginger1218 | Saturday, March 08, 2003 - 08:04 am     Barbarino, just to hear him say What? Where? Are you hot, or are you sweet and demure? |
Sia | Saturday, March 08, 2003 - 10:25 am     Um, I pretend to be sweet and demure, but my hubby thinks I'm really hot!! |
Northstar | Saturday, March 08, 2003 - 12:18 pm     Sia, yoo-whoo...come out of your daydream and ask a question!!!!! Or maybe hubby walked in the room and you're not lost in thought afterall. <quickly putting hands over eyes> |
Sanfranjoshfan | Sunday, March 09, 2003 - 01:02 pm     Okay.....for some reason or another this question suddenly popped into my head, and I have no idea why, but I looked around the internet and couldn't find an answer anywhere. How many chickens are there in the United States? I used to live on a farm and I recall that egg laying chickens only laid one egg per day. If there is one chicken in the USA for each individual egg produced and consumed in one single day in the United States, then there must be *millions* of chickens. Consider that most people have 2 eggs at once when they have eggs for breakfast, that would mean that if half the population of this country had a 2 egg breakfast in the morning, then there must be approximately the SAME number of chickens as there are PEOPLE in this country! Like I said.....I don't know why this question came to me, but there you have it....my "any question". |
Draheid | Sunday, March 09, 2003 - 01:25 pm     Sanfranjoshfan: Here is an excerpt from the lastest report located at The USDA Economics & Statics Website. Click on "Livestock, Dairy, and Poultry" then "Chickens and Eggs (NASS)" the "2003" and select the format to view. Here you can also see historical data as well.
Quote:All layers in the U.S. on February 1, 2003, totaled 339 million, up slightly from a year ago. The 339 million layers consisted of 279 million layers producing table type eggs, 56.3 million layers producing broiler-type hatching eggs, and 2.71 million layers producing egg-type hatching eggs. Rate of lay per day on February 1, 2003, averaged 70.1 eggs per 100 layers, up 2 percent from a year ago.
For future reference, there is a thread in the 'Community Corner' entitled The only Dumb Question is the one not asked where you can ask these types of questions. Hope this helps. (Also hope it's not too much information! lol) |
Sanfranjoshfan | Sunday, March 09, 2003 - 01:45 pm     Draheid - Hey Thanks! It seems odd to me that the US has more chickens than people....but it does make perfect sense when you add up the number of eggs that we consume. Also, thanks for the tip about the "dumb question/not asked" thread....although it never occurred to me to even ask my silly chicken question here on the TVCH board until I saw the title of this thread....which triggered my pensive poultry ponderance. |
Draheid | Sunday, March 09, 2003 - 01:58 pm     Sanfran: I'm glad I could help! I hope I haven't egged you on to more ponderings. Perhaps I have hatched a new interest for you here on the board? It's nice to see you posting again! I know you lurk and mostly participate during BB, however, dare I say it's nice to see you coming out of your shell a little more!  |
Spygirl | Sunday, March 09, 2003 - 02:50 pm     Since juju is on vacation -- I'll do the vomiting in the bushes for the egg puns
 |
Sanfranjoshfan | Sunday, March 09, 2003 - 05:19 pm     Egg-xactly my sentiments, Spygirl! Thanks again Draheid...for LAYING the answer on me! |
Spygirl | Sunday, March 09, 2003 - 05:33 pm     LOL -- you are both nutty. |
Sia | Sunday, March 09, 2003 - 06:05 pm     Okay, sorry I forgot to post my question before I left for the bowling-birthday party today: What did you do today? |
Mygetaway | Sunday, March 09, 2003 - 06:22 pm     Watched movies and played on the computer. Would you rather be able to fly or be able to swim underwater without breathing? (I watched Spy kids2 today....LOL) |
Hermione69 | Sunday, March 09, 2003 - 06:25 pm     I would rather be able to fly. What is your favorite holiday tradition? |
Weenerlobo | Monday, March 10, 2003 - 06:56 am     Decorating the house and yard for Halloween and having my parents over for Halloween dinner, complete with eyeball icecubes for Dad's martini, spider rings around the base of Mom's wine glass, selecting cool toys to hand out to the kids and blasting 'em with fog as they're walking back to the sidewalk. (Sorry, that was a long one) How many times have you been fired? |
Bigd | Monday, March 10, 2003 - 08:17 am     I was fired one time when I was 24. I had a job as an accounting clerk in a hospital. My supervisor fired me after I reported a co-worker to child protective services for leaving her two kids at home alone for two days in a row. The children were 9 yrs old and 7 yrs old. The co-worker told me this in confidence. We were immature and we had a spat, she did something mean to me so I did something mean to her. I reported it for the wrong reasons (which I am ashamed of), but I was fired injustly in return. Obviously, after I reported her, there was no way we could get along and since we sat next to each other, it was an impossible situation. Our supervisor preferred her over me, asked me if I made the call and I confessed and she canned me for "Insubordinate behavior". It was hard to accept, but I got an even better job, which led me to an even better job. So in the end I benefited from the whole ordeal. Have you ever reported anyone to child protection? |

Northstar | Monday, March 10, 2003 - 08:23 am     Yes, on both a personal and professional level. At the theater, what do you prefer; plays, musicals, dance, opera, etc? |
