I do not get the whole string cheese thing. I tried some and it did not taste of food.

I know! I don't get it, either. My son, however, LOOOOVES it.

Yeah. My youngest niece seems to like it.

I eat one every once in a while, but it's not very good. Too rubbery and salty. The kids love it though.

Kids are not reliable barometers of taste. My kids eat their boogers.

You're supposed to play with it, not eat it!

FIFY

:p:

There are two kinds of string cheese.

The individually plastic wrapped mozzarella stix (yes, spelled that way) that are commonly called string cheese is not really string cheese.

Proper Armenian string cheese comes in a shape that looks like a hank of yarn, has some seed-looking things sticking to it, and has a complex flavor profile.

Yeah. The individual stix taste closest to butter - very bland.

I ride my lawn mower to the mailbox. And I have one of those blue upside down mushroom looking pools in my backyard 20 feet from the dog pen, which has no dogs in it. I also have seven dogs. I don't use the pen coz all of them won't fit inside and I don't want to show favoritism. So there.

How far to the mailbox? (just askin')

Prolly about 1/4 mile. But I'd ride it even if it were closer.

in my yard [sort of > in my wooded area]

I have a sat dish on a pole in the back yard with Bird feeders on it ,
