SPRINGDALE - Tyson Foods of Springdale became the largest poultry producer in the world May 9, 1986, when it completed acquiring all the capital stock of Lane Processing, Inc., of Grannis in Polk County.
Tyson's 1985 annual report said sales totaled $1.36 billion. The Tyson chicken and hog empire was named in Successful Farming magazine as the largest farm in America.
The poultry industry as a whole is the state's largest manufacturing employer, with some 80,000 workers, according to the Arkansas Poultry Federation. U.S. Department of Agriculture statistics shows Arkansas ranks first in the nation in broiler production, with 760 million raised in 1985.
There is a father with twice six sons; these sons have thirty daughters a piece (give or take), party-coloured, having one cheek white and the other black, who never see each other’s face, nor live above twenty-four hours.
crying is not a weakness .... have been known to do it on a regular basis. Makes me feel much better
I dont take it personally.
I see it as a wake up call to say "Re-evaluate wht you just said" Was it that bad that another person (who isnt taken to crying often) has been that upset by my words. Check them out buddy!!!
If I dont see a problem with what I just said, then I just wait, take a few breaths to become rational again. Then ask why she was crying. Solve that problem first. What was it that was said that made her cry.
If I see a problem with what I just said, then I apologise for what I percieve was the upsetting matter. Deal with that first.
Then when the tears have stopped -
Get back to the argument!!!!
No I dont, it was just a good opportunity to have some fun
I really hate the cold! When I ventured out in the February weather, I put on a long underwear, over which I put on pyjamas, then a pair of pants, then another loose pair of pants. On top, were a number of sweaters, a jacket, and over the whole thing, I wore a diving undersuit ... (I looked like the Stay-Puff man, but I was warm!)
Deep in the snow-packed woods, I had to answer nature's call. I had to unzip the snowmobile suit, then the first pair of pants, then the second pair of pants. Then there was a big stretch to get past the bulk of all the clothing.
Despite the "shrinkage" due to the cold, I achieved success, BUT ... before I finished, one of the exuberant dogs that I was walking jumped and hit me in the middle of the back. I instinctively flung my arms out to retain my balance; and ended up caught in 3 zippers!!! ... (only the men who have had a similar experience will know the agony)
There I stood, freezing, unable to move, afraid to just "rip" myself free. I was sure I would be found there in the spring, still standing motionless with a grimace on my frozen face.
So the moral of the story is ... keep it in your pants to stay puff!
"The finding of a parrot with an almost unparalleled power to communicate with people has brought scientists up short. The bird, a captive African grey called N'kisi, has a vocabulary of 950 words, and shows signs of a sense of humour.
He invents his own words and phrases if he is confronted with novel ideas with which his existing repertoire cannot cope - just as a human child would do."
Does this mean that there will be an increase in unemployment in the call-centre industry?
Will we get the following type of communication with our banks?
"Hello?" Hi, Id like to speak to my personal banker" "Pretty Polly?" "err ... no, his name is George" "Polly is a cracker" "Im sure she is, but I think that George knows my account better" "Polly wants a cracker" "err ... well thank you, but Im happily married"
I mean what will be next? Alligators being bus drivers, hippos being ballet dancers or lawyers being sharks?

RE: 10 Things men understand about women...
The only thing that you have to know about women is how to respect them for who they are.At the end of the day, you will never be wrong for being respectful.
Even if you disagree and dislike, turn it around and ask yourself "what would I like to have happened here if the roles were reversed"
