(for the o.p.: Nothing wrong with some levity, but long winded discussion about appliance repair, dead dogs, new kittens, and recipes have more appropriate forums. Humor is a world-wide common ice-breaker. So you did NOT "get my goat" with this)

Oh, if you have a goat, let's open a goat-cheese-making business ;)

Never met anyone else who even heard of that poem- except my mother

Faina, I love goat cheese, it's very good for a yodeler's throat!! Now that's very useless information, unless you are a semi-retired, semi-professional world-class yodeler like myself. :-"

Oh Oh...is this totally useless information too? :-" Well...maybe we bend the rules a bit on Fridays :))

<i>Fodors.com created Travel Talk as a place for participants to get and share advice about travel. To provide maximum benefit for travelers -- and to ensure that text and subject searches contain useful trip-planning information -- we restrict the discussion to travel. There are numerous venues all over the Web for conversations about politics, world history, and religion, or for parodies and salacious humor. The focus here is travel. </i>

For a healthy alternative to butter,margarine or crisco when baking cookies....substitute mashed northern beans (rinse the beans after opening the can) for 1/2 the fat. the beans will give you calcium, fiber (but won't make you gassy). Try it!!!

The Alphabet song and Twinkle Twinkle little star have the same tune...don't they? ;)
