LOL! As stated in one of my first posts when joining, I am cow344 because I grew up on a dairy farm.
Slept with a jersey cow whenever my parents argued (the house walls did keep their arguments to themselves). The numbers came from special cow that I raised while running the corporate family owned farm. I sold the farm in 1999 ( my tittle was president of the company).
As for numbers Had a cow nicknamed Blindy (144 was her full number) but she was given to us by the SPCA! She was mistreated and had one eye gouged out and the other eye had pink eye! We were able to get about 20% of the vision back to the eye that had pink eye!
Blindy made the veterinary's jaw fall open , if he did not have skin attaching jaw to head it would hit the floor when she lifted her foot in the air for him to inspect after we ask Blindy to do so. Before she did this he was commenting on how dumb cattle with and stated cattle just were morons. She learned about 200 words and would let you know her answer to a questions as in yes or no by the way she moved here front feet. I toke a number 4 from her.
As for the number 3 I got it from a cow nick named Puppy dog! Yes she retrieved things and followed you around when near her. She scared the crap and more out of the dogs since she was better then them!
As for the second number 4 came from a cow nick named "Sheldon." By her name what she did it was done, period there would only be a shell left. Therefore Sheldon it was the reply I would get from employees. She was what you could call as the herd clown!
All of them were the leaders in giving milk and help keep every thing in line.
After 19 years of coming to the farm as their vet, the veterinary would walk into the barn of 200 cattle and talk to the cows and not be surprised to the reactions he would receive.
As for other tittles I have Surveyed (Hydro Graphic, Legal, Engineering and Topographic) were my specialties. Operate Heavy Duty Machinery and do invest in stock market along with help out at a mushroom farm. Been around the world by sea 4 times been through Panama and Suez canals around both the Cape and Horn!
Seen enough human blood and death in my life. Have broken countless toes and fingers and one ankle as to where I got my first cast and only cast (in 2002) so far. Almost drown 2 times ( last time in 2002, So close to death as to where lost my sense of smell, sight, taste and feeling) and been at death's door 2 other times. I got off of a gurney in front the a Doctor who watched me sit up then stand up after he just returned from telling my mother he was all blue when he came in there was nothing we could do. That was when I was 14 years old. The gurney was about 5 meters from the hospital morgue's door.
Believe it or not!
I also got 3 different Diplomas.
Does that answer your questions yet? Been in the newspapers 9 times if it maters!
What titles and accomplishments do you people have?
