Not only can we not afford to eat - if we can afford to buy a pound of cow, pig, or chicken it might kill us.
I'm thinkin' maybe we have enough land up here to hold a cow, a pig and a couple of chickens. We could start our own little farm. I don't the know first thing about keeping cows, or pigs, or chickens, but I can certainly learn. I don't want to die or starve just yet...On second thought we'd starve anyway even if we did have a cow, a pig, and a few chickens. There's no way I could eat any of them. They'd instantly become our menagerie of outside pets. I suppose we could eat eggs for the rest of our lives.
Seriously, our food supply has gone to shit. Be careful out there when going to the grocery store. It's dangerous just walking through the automatic doors.
USDA Announces Highest-Level Recall on More Than 1.5 Million Pounds of Beef, Pork, and Poultry Products
I have to say I do love beans and rice. I'm not sure I want to eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner for the rest of my life. The one upside? I'd be as regular as one can possibly be.
My first three years was on a farm. There are countless pics of me holding baby chicks. My mom said she couldn't get me out of the chicken coop. I would DEFINITELY not be able to wring a chicken's neck.
You know, I would be embarrassed if my adult browser history became public, but mostly because I'm a private person in that regard. However, everyone is of age and the same species as I am. The right is telling on themselves a lot lately.
The Separatists are spinning their trouncing as a "win" because they got around 24% of the vote, and say that if the conservatives in the province don't start taking them seriously they might splinter the UCP with a pro-independence movement.

Impressive, but no protective gloves? Hell, I'd wear a hazmat suit if that was my job.
The general consensus from what I have seen is that gloves mess with dexterity.
I figured.
I recognized immediately that the clip is from ' The Glass Goof'.
I want Herzog’s The Ruby Chrystal!!!
Not only is that a beautiful work of art, it's fun to see how it's made.
Think there was a glass-blowing competition series on Netflix awhile back, don’t remember the name.
Trying to make a dovetail joint yeah /
Looking through a glass pumpkin!
Beat me to it!
Thanks for this one Martini Glassbassidor! Fascinating art form.
Truly a work of art.

You can still see it at the Ren Fest
did they make Ligers? They're pretty much my favorite animal.
Not sure about Ligers, but I hear they make beautiful Jackalopes.
OT, but profoundly disturbing and worth a click.

Who do you like? Brewers or Rays?
Anyone but the Dodgers? (did I really say that out loud???)
Brewers. I rooted for them in the '82 Series. I was deflated when they went to the National League. I liked them as an AL East rival to my Red Sox.
The Crew, I think. But a great matchup. Best team in each league, among the lowest payrolls; best talent assessment and development.
Orioles.

Mike Waltz is claiming that Cuba is conspiring with Antifa, violent environmentalists, and pro-Palestinian groups to sow chaos in the inner cities.
And now I have my bingo card filled out.
https://bsky.app/profile/atrupar.com/post/3mycnhbwow32v
Well, from what I see in inner-city Minneapolis, they're doing a shitty job spreading chaos.
ICE did a much better job of it, but we kicked their asses anyway, without violence.
We're just not tolerant of chaos. That part of the stereotype is correct.
This is a real step down from Cuba's attempt to attack Florida using sharks with laser beams strapped to their heads.
Makes sense. It’s not as though Cuba has anything else going on.

That suggests consent, at least. Probably not their biggest turn-on.
also, porn stars are (more or less by definition) of age.

Friend in New Mexico hunts all her meat. When her daughter was in high school, they'd take the long walk home and bag some wild grouse for dinner.
also too, watch out for chocolate.

I got a "page not found" message on that one.
Beans are starting to look pretty good.
I have to say I do love beans and rice. I'm not sure I want to eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner for the rest of my life. The one upside? I'd be as regular as one can possibly be.
Hobo beans in every pot!
Regulations ? We dont need no stinkin regulations .
Shut up and eat your "meat loaf" Devin.
I love you so fucking much right now!
Good morning Holly! I'm surprised they actually recalled anything instead of telling people ONLY THE STRONG SURVIVE.
Damn it Rosy! I almost spit laughed a mouthful of coffee all over this computer screen TYVM.

If you do get some livestock, DO NOT give them pet names.
Raise Ameglian Major Cows.
"Yo, Dinner! Get in here right this minute."
They would all be named George. And I would hug them and pet them and love them all to pieces.
My first three years was on a farm. There are countless pics of me holding baby chicks. My mom said she couldn't get me out of the chicken coop. I would DEFINITELY not be able to wring a chicken's neck.
I shudder just thinking how that all works.
"The US is now helping Russia kill Ukrainian civilians, and destroy Ukrainian energy infrastructure heading into winter.
Another big line crossed. It's really bad.
Only saving grace I can think of is this might reflect Trump and Putin's worry that the US midterms means their window is closing."

I feel very glad that 'enthusiastic assent' and 'genuine pleasure' (insofar as I can tell, at least) are actual turn-ons of mine.
