Dear flist and lurkers,

Happy winter solstice and upcoming Christmas/Chanukah/other! In celebration of winter festivities, I’m going to buy animals for everyone. Well, not individually for each of you, but I’m very much desiring to purchase animals at Heifer International in your honor. I’ve already checked out Heifer’s credentials. It's a legit and well run organization.

So choose your favorite animal! Yes, the animals all cost different, but don’t worry about that, ’cause if the winning vote turns out to be a $500 heifer, I can always choose to just buy a share. And I’m willing to mix and match animals if multiple species get top votes.

Happy Holidays!

~ Ziasudra

i think goats are useful (1) babies (2) milk. and i voted on the water buffalo jus' cuz it's weird ^_^;;

llama's nice too ^_^:;

Wow, you're giving this some serious thought! In the past years I've bought bees and rabbits because of my limited resources, but this year I think I have enough to buy an entire llama or goat if I choose. Not sure about a full water buffalo though.

Or maybe I'll go with bits and pieces of several types of animals :)

not much else to think about. bunnies are cute though ^_^;;.

btw, you deleted your other post on thelondonrain I was about to respond to that!

[ziasudra.livejournal.com]

It got deleted? Maybe I clicked the wrong button last night?

Actually, I was wondering about that, because when I browsed through my flist today I was like, "Maybe I should reply to that post" because it didn't indicate that I had replied.

*has bad short-term memories*

[nenyaentwhistle.livejournal.com]

i dunno, but it wasn't there! though it said you had responded and then deleted it. weird.

*scratches head*

And I'm not getting LJ notifications again, I just noticed. The last few comments on to this post have all been un-notified :\

[nenyaentwhistle.livejournal.com]

and you're on a paid acct! poor dear :(. i'm getting mine...?

Goats are nice!

Although they look funny, smell bad, and are greedy...

[ziasudra.livejournal.com]

Seems like goat is a big contender in this poll, so maybe some family will end up with a funny, bad-smelling, greedy creature ;)

[lynkemma.livejournal.com]

I went for the goat, too. They're hardy and independent animals.

I've actually heard of Heifer International, now that I think about it. It's a very good idea.

[ziasudra.livejournal.com]

I wonder if the goat is one of Heifer International's more popular purchases...

[lynkemma.livejournal.com]

Oooh, there's a tie between a goat and a llama! When are you closing the poll? I'm curious as to what the final result will be :-)

[ziasudra.livejournal.com]

I'll probably decide tonight, when I get back from work. I might end up getting both if it's feasible, since (as you know) I'm already thinking about getting a llama for my cousins.

[luciechan.livejournal.com]

Llama! Llama!! ^_^
They really didn't decribe what good a water buffalo is on their site though. And anything that is a baby I would be impatient about if i was super poor. Sheep & Llamas have my vote; they seem the most practical. Or a cow. I can see why you can't decide!! Well, I voted for llama.

[ziasudra.livejournal.com]

You can vote for more than one animal with the ticky boxes, you know. Just click on the poll number and choose "fill out poll."

I probably just opened a can of worms with this new suggestion... ;)

[ziasudra.livejournal.com]

oops, meant for luciechan but I suppose this is for everyone too.
