Hah!
I must admit it's a nice side-effect of being home sick (::coughs up part of a lung::) to be able to chat with Buffistas during the work day instead of trying to threadsuck Natter at night.
You do well to flee, townspeople! I will pillage your lands and dwellings! I will burn your crops and make merry sport with your more attractive daughters! Ha ha ha! Mark my words! Ooh! Ale! I smell delicious ale!

Dairy farmers' grandchildren represent!
My maternal grandparents owned a dairy store. So, they got the milk and whatnot from the dairy farms and delivered them to the people of Wilmington, DE. also, they made ice cream!

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Mom grew up on a farm outside of Lockport, IL. She was in charge of the horses. The address of my house in AK was a Star Route (AK's version of Rural Route) for a very long time, and it's still surrounded by woods. She's farm folk, I'm wilderness folk. Well, wilderness folk that ran to a city as soon as she could and never looked back, but still.

oh my gosh, I just did a google search for my grandparent's dairy and came across a board where people were talking about old Wilmington and there were posts about food nostalgia that mention the milkshakes from the dairy. now I'm crying.

I didn't grow up on a farm but the address we lived on in NJ was a RR.
(My dad grew up on a farm and he had a street address. Weird, no?)

That's where Grandpa A's farm was!!! In fact, I lived in Lockport the first three years of my life!

awww, lisah. That's cool.
Now I want a milkshake, except I have a head-cold so dairy is the last thing I should have.
I have some leftover wonton soup in the fridge, but it's kind of nasty. I don't think I'm going to get that from that restaurant anymore.

I just discovered that gmail played a trick on me: it marked a number of emails I get (including all my "google alerts") as spam.
