History, Medicine, and Science: Nonfiction and Fiction discussion

What started out as an introductory welcome conversation, snowballed and has some people wondering what is going on.

Here is a brief history, so you know...

1. Part of Patty's introduction: "I'm Patty and I'm a goatherd."

2. In welcoming Patty, Bunnie wrote: "patty, aren't you lucky to be a goatherd. what a life- quiet time to read and meditate and watch your charges munch away. i think this modern world is too chaotic--too hurried. stop and smell the roses!!"

3. Almeta chimed in with "Or goat dung!" Just saying that in the case of a goatherd (Patty's profession), she would stop and smell the goat dung, not the roses as Bunnie had suggested.

4. Patty implied "CHICKEN IS WORSE" We won't go there!!!!

Ironically, I am reading Three Bags Full which is a detective story in which a flock of sheep are attempting to solve the mystery of their dead shepard. (I swear I'm not making this up!)

Thanks for the clarification, enjoyed the commentary, but it helps to know the history....as we all know and can testify too!!!
