I don't think I've ever liked so many posts in 1 thread. I'll keep it short and sweet because I'm too tempted to turn this into a complain about work thread.

I squeeze 20 pounds of crap in a 5 pound bag. Every day.

CNC turning-lathe. Set-up,run and edit the programs that don't work.Also program when needed.Turning,drilling,tapping,threading,boring,grooving aluminum,stainless,plastics,titanium ..... you get the idea. If I could go back in time I would have planned my carreer differently but I pay my bills and taxes and sleep at night.Not everything is made in China.

Cow slobber is the least of my worries- most of my time is spent with a 36" glove on my left hand for protection if you know what I mean...

Had a quaranteed job growing up on a family dairy farm. Paula's fear is rational. Had a cow get me once after laying with her tail right in the gutter slop. She stood up, swung it, and caught me right across both eyes. My dad found that far too amusing.

Now I'm a Civil Engineer doing civil/site work. Been very fortunate to have worked all but 4 weeks in the last 26 years.

My dream job requires a sizeable lottery win, unfortunately. I'd get a nice sized chunk of land to manage for game animals, dig a few ponds, build stuff like a cabin and smoke house, buy tools to putter around fixing things like antique tractors and trying to make a better mouse trap.

This would freak me out and i would just walk away. I would love to have a cow or 2 just for pets. I go up the road to look at the belted cows and black with white faces(beef?)

[josephmrtn]

they are called whiteface cows they are beef.... once i was dipping a cow from behind when i was young and had it crap on my head.... another time i was about 4 or 5 i walked up behind a cow and scared it, it kicked me in the face and i went flying backwards about 6 or 8 ft...... THAT HURT!!!!! also i was charged and trampled twice one when i was about 2 and once when i was about 5...... farming is a TOUGH life!!!!
