    I'm willing to share but if you don't mind, I would like to see first if it makes the cut.

    Now John, that's a down right dirty dog thing to call a feller....."Yankee". Some of my vast property holding may be up in in that God forsaken part of the country, but I was bred, born (and breed) in GOD'S COUNTRY.....TEXAS!

    Going on 4 months and still haven't heard one way or another. I contacted the ABO office and I just get that it is still being reviewed. This is getting very frustrating especially when they state that they will let you know in 4-6 weeks.

    4 months with no response? Wow. You can almost hear the ball being dropped from here...

    It makes me wonder: who is on the approval committee?

    Received my notification letter that my paper was accepted!
    It's been a long wait but I am now very proud to be among the others who took the extra step to become ABOM :)
