Hay Hair
 

I know i can't be the only one who doesn't get 'hat hair' instead I get 'hay hair'. I'm constantly pulling out little bits and pieces of hay out of my hair all day long. Anybody else ever run their fingers thought their hair only to come up with a fistfull of hay?

I have dreadlocks and find all sorts of things in them. The June Bugs are the worse. I have been combing out my dreadlocks one by one as my husband doesn't want me to cut them off...so i am secretly combing them out. Takes along time. I need them gone before it gets any hotter, has already been close to 90 degrees...

Funny you mentioned this. Everytime I come in from feeding the goats, my husband says "Dena, you have hay in your hair again!"

I had 'hay bra' a lot last summer :D . I'd start itching and look down to find a bunch that crept down into my underclothing.

Oh, yeah, I get that too :rolleyes: Hate when that happens!

LOL yeah I've had hay bra too. And Goat Love, yeah, hubby is forever leaning over and pulling out a stray piece of hay from my hair. How he manages to go out and feed and not end up with little bits of hay stuck in his hair I'll never know.

Me too and I have long curly hair so when it gets in there it's pretty hard to get out :rolleyes:

Well, yesterday as I was grocery shopping, I had a little itch on my head.... yep, all sorts of pieces of hay/leaf etc. Not easy to discreetly extract hay in public... lol!
Thank the Lord there were NO june bugs... I sorta freak when they get tangled in my hair... ewwww those sticky little feet are just gross.....

Hay pockets...all the time. Put on a jacket, pull hay out of the pockets. Hay in the jeans pockets, in the shirt pockets...etc., etc. Love it.

Also always gets in our pockets... jacket pockets, pants pockets. Speaking of pants I tore the entire right side of my jeans and underpants from the pocket right out down to the thigh today climbing over a stall wall (short cut) I was so embarrassed when my 13 yo son got there, I just said "turn around till I get to the house will ya" ( I had stuff to carry)

Ya my kids got a big ol' HA-HA-HA out of that one :stars:

What I hate is when I have been out running around and come home and look in the mirror and discover I have hay hanging from my hair. I thought everyone was looking cause I looked so good :shrug: Then again it could have been the horse smell or chicken poop on my boot :p

Ahhh the joys of our little critters. Yes, have had the hay hair, bra and the pockets! Hate it when I go to pay for something and pull out a handfull of hay with my money!!!! They kinda look at ya funny when that happens!

Now the fun thing for me was when it was soooo muddy and all I wore was boots. DH decided he wanted to go to town and I didn't go in the house before we left....soo.....went to town with my hay hair, muddy mucky boots and flannel shirt! Someone we know says "Well you look like a farmer!" I told him "Well, that IS what I want to be when I grow up!". My kids loved that one. I'm sure I wasn't the most pleasant smelling either!

LOL...I've gone to the office with a wisp or two.

chris, "poop boot" is common at our place, too. It's goat poop, though. That stuff gets in the tread crevices and sticks like Velcro! Even a good boot cleaner won't scrape it all out.

That'd be a darned good title for a book on goats: "Hay hair and poop boot: How I learned to love goats"

Sounds like an autobiographical best seller!!!!!! When will you begin??

:rotfl:

Kitty :benice:

What is really irritating is "corn boots"...I always end up with that one peice of corn chops in my boot....I will be fully dressed and ready to go, but no, gotta take ff the boot and shake out that one annoying bit of corn...always just one little peice.

LOL Hay Hair and Boot Poop---the hectic life of corn boot McDonald.

Sounds like some kind of screwball medical comedy. Hey, maybe we could sell it to the networks!

I get hay in my hair, bra and pockets just like the rest of you. What's really annoying is how the fine alfalfa has this habit of getting into the little finger of my chore gloves, so when I go to put them on, I can't get my pinky properly into the glove. It's a real pain to get that hay out, too. I can relate to going into town with my hay hair, muddy boots, not to mention the dirty butt on my jeans from sitting on the milk stand and sitting in the goat yard. The most interestting thing is when I have to cashier at the store after tattooing or using blukote or iodine. Seems it takes a day or two for that stuff to waer off. My hands get so dry, it seems I just absorb that stuff.

I'm tellin' ya'all we have the makings of a blockbuster hit here. Scrubs look out. haha

I knew I wasn't alone. Heehee

I really like when someone wrinkles up their nose and says "you have something on your pants" :rolleyes: I figure its some kind of poop or slobber and just say" it must be some dirt from the garden" ;)

I'll second the goat poop in the treads of my boots. It won't come off on the bristley boot scraper but it will come off on the carpet, no effort there at all.

So far nobody has admitted how they get the hay out of their bras.

Depends on where you are.You have the lift and shake,the dig and toss ,then of course there is the shower.

LOL! I get hay in my hair, in my bra, in my pockets, and in the turned-up cuffs of my jeans (I'm on the short side, and some of my second-hand jeans were made for a tall person). I also usually end up with goat slobber on the end of my pony tail, and seldom have time to wash it out before I go to work! I do usually change shoes before going to town, one reason why I wear slip-on shoes (garden clogs in dry weather, rubber boots in wet weather) when I can. When it's cold out I have to wear my Sorels, but they usually aren't muddy, just get snow on them.

When I have bottle-babies, I get little muddy hoof-prints all over my jeans, and have thought that would make a good line of clothing for us goat-keepers. Someone needs to buy some jeans and rubber-stamp little hoof tracks all over them (pointed up, because when you have babies jumping up on you, that's the way their hooves point). Then we'd have camoflage when we have to wear our chore pants to town!

I seem to get hay everywhere. I get it in my hair, my pockets, my shoes. I was at the feed store the other day and decided to count out exact change for my purchase and as I dug the change out of the bottom of my purse I also dug hay. There was a small pile of change and hay on the checkout counter by the time I was done,LOL

Or you can do what I did and just quit wearing a bra when your running around the barn yard,LOL.

I'm a teacher and am ALWAYS going to work in the morning with hay in my hair...one morning a parent who is rather infamous stopped me to ask if I had a "215". I smiled and said I just had goats. Then later in the staff room, I asked what a "215" was. The whole room ERUPTED in laughter. Evidently, that's the code for medical marijuana. I think if I had THAT, I wouldn't be putting it in my HAIR :p jeez! As far as all the other spots, bra, pockets, socks, etc., yep, I get it there too.

Yes, hay hair, hay shoes, hay pockets, hay bra. Sounds totally normal to me. LOL! Ya'll are my kinda people! :D

"running" around the barnyard?...maybe walking at a brisk pace :)

An effective way I found is to bend over when doing the lift and shake or the hay just goes down the front of my pants.

What I'd really like to know is how hay gets in my slippers!

I have barn clothes and work/town clothes - still find hay in all my pockets, not to mention goat hair all over my "good" jacket. Ah well, home is where the hair is. :rolleyes: It's always fun to pick hair off the clothes and identify the species and individual that it belonged to.

I had to run to the vet this evening to pick up my JRT after his neutering - after I'd been birthing goats. In a hurry, went in gory coveralls, figured it's the vet, what are they going to say? :p

Don't forget the Pocket Omeletts! :nono: You know the eggs you slipped in your pocket and forgot to remove, before you finished one more chore.............and headed to town!

LOL oh my that brought back a rather less than pleasant memory. I had a real pocket omolette once. I put a couple eggs in my coat pocket that I found in the yard (collecting eggs from a couple of my free rangers is like an easter egg hunt every morning) and walked into the barn. One of my mares was close to delivering and she was down so I went in the stall and when the baby started to come I leaned over, forgetting about the eggs in my pocket) and they got crushed between my thigh and hip where it bends... ewwwwww inside my pocket. LOL

Back when my beard was kissing my belly button, it was a chore keeping hay, leaves, feathers, cookie crumbs :rolleyes: , out of it... well, the cookie crumbs weren't a problem, as my weener dog would keep the crumbs under control.

More times than I can count, I've started off to town in cleanish clothes, and arrived later in town with suspicious yellow, black, and brown stains on my pants... people that I know will ask if I've had an 'accident'... I'll look down, and giggle... tell em to come out for a visit and see how long they can stay clean.

No june bugs in my head hair, as I'm as bald as a person can get, but they have hitched a ride in the beard before.

ahh, the infamous pocket omelette... :p BTDT (been there done that)
