Probably won't be too long now before Israel is responsible for creating a nuclear accident in Iran with their own equipment. Maybe not, but seems possible
Hey! It certainly is a good thing considering the international tensions at the moment that this isn't an election year when a Democratic President would be inclined to act more aggressively to pre-empt GOP accusations of "weakness"!
Taking time out from attacking Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and demanding he be given full immunity for any crimes he committed when he was president, trump paid tribute to a former administration official who was killed during a Washington D.C. car-jacking this past week. He then called for a federal takeover of the district that is home to the U.S. government... The shithead always wanting to take over things.
I do not understand fear of missing out. Especially at a place where everyone will tell you everything that happened even if you were there.
Supe was sposed to be off today. She care taking for a dying parent and obviously needs time so we've all been stepping up to free her up and though she is still trying to micromanage from afar, she's actually let a few things go. But she could not miss the monthly meeting even though nothing very interesting happens at them, so she just texted me to let me know she changed her schedule to be able to be there.
Granted, if I were any more laid back they could fit me for a pine box, but I never saw the reason to get so hep up about work of all things. And I LIKE my job, but there are so many more important things in life, for me.
Ah well, at least with her there I won't have to talk, I can live with that.
Nothing about our job is urgent XD I mean there are projects that need doing and sometimes things crop up, but every problem is pretty solvable.
I worry about her stress level. While she is a micro manager (she once felt the need to sit there and tell me how to fold paper in order to tear it along the perforation, in detail, no lie) I am pretty good at handling those (this is where self-depreciation comes in handy) she's otherwise pretty good and I like her.
Well, I bought myself a new swimsuit but the cut around the legs is too high. I am going to try removing some of the fabric from the crotch to see if I can bring it down some since I am short, but there is little that can be done for areas with no fabric. If the crotch adjustment doesn't work, there is plenty of fabric for a bra or two.
Kink partner was happy with this week's pics and video fare which featured [nobody wants to read it] while I wore my Pool Blue Crocs, so I am feeling very full of myself this AM. 🦚
A quiet week ahead, including my first divorce hearing, which I do not have to attend. Probably be out walking my dog at about that time. Still sad that relationship ended, but on to different things.
I'll take a chance if I like the fabric and can recycle it if the garment doesn't fit. Items from China, especially the small producers, are NOTORIOUS for using irregular proportions for the waist to hip so rarely does something from there fit me as I have a lot of waist in my shape but not a lot of bust compared.
Hubby's taking the 9'ers and not because of Taylor, but because he hates the Chiefs as they beat the broncos really humiliatingly in some playoff game or other.
Spoiler: there are a LOT of teams hubby does not like. I keep waiting for a superbowl where he hates both teams, it is statistically a sure bet one of these days
Professional sharpshooters flying around in helicopters, trying to kill the pigs. We requested a hog from the slaughter on our friend's farm, but the USDA only gave the farmer one boar from the harvest.
At the rate feral hogs are increasing, I'll be able to harvest my own wild pig quite soon.
A friend bow-hunted a feral pig off route 156 in CA. He went in and played it super safe with gloves & lots of water, tried to butcher it, but it was riddled with parasites so it just became a cull-kill. The rangers said that very few hunters eat what they kill now - even in Sonoma County, the feral pigs aren't safe to eat.
It's going to be interesting as the hunters in poor areas start hunting for meat rather than cull. We're going to see 1920s-era rates of foodborne parasitic disease among those families due to lack of education about risks, lack of proper treatment, lack of access to healthcare, and denial that it's happening at all or some kind of conspiracy theory that the diseases are being brought in by immigrants or {{{people}}}.
That reminds me of the time my wife tried to butcher the snapping turtles in the pond. Cut their heads off and worms came wiggling out of their necks. We've never tried to catch them again.
No....when it's safe to eat, it's delicious, but it must be really cooked the way we used to eat pork. Even if it's been frozen for a month or more, it's smart to cook it to temperatures that'll kill anything bad.
WaPo won't load for me now. Every other site will. Am I alone?

That was one of Trump's commodity guys. He must not have paid the vig, so Trump had him whacked and made it look like a carjacking
TABZ!
White mold and Sudden Death Syndrome are two fungi that can kill your soy bean crop.
Make your changes accordingly as you plan for spring planting.
Now I wanna grow soy in the garden. That'd be a unique product to sell at the farmers market.
What's the rush?

One thing I like about my job is that URGENT stuff only happens every couple of years.

Hurry up and dig! Stuff's been waiting so long to be unearthed!

Why don't you take the swimsuit back?
I ordered it online from China.
I have to try clothes on when I buy them.
Except socks and undies.

That's the benefit of being so crafty. I'd have to pay someone to fix it. Usually it's hem because I guess my inseam is short?
I don't mess with pants.
Onward and upward!

Yecch. I didn't know that turtles harbored parasites - now I do. Makes snapping turtles even scarier. I was petrified of them as a kid.
They are purportedly loaded with parasites so take care if you do get one. Domestic pigs get a lot of vaccinations
Trichinosis is no fun, so I hear.
Yeah, I had a friend who butchered one and saw so many visible parasites he buried it
Ew.
Permanently parasitized muscle tissue? Sign me up!
True. Thanks for the reminder!
I wonder how easy it is to get within shotgun range without the hog noticing the helicopter?
Shotgun will just piss them off.
They get free reaction fire on their turn against shotguns.
I wonder if that is just a mistake in the article.
Got a feeling I'll find out firsthand before this decade's over.
Is it gamey?
No....when it's safe to eat, it's delicious, but it must be really cooked the way we used to eat pork. Even if it's been frozen for a month or more, it's smart to cook it to temperatures that'll kill anything bad.
I dunno yet. Gamey bacon might be interesting.
Italy serves a lot of Cinghiale. Very lean and I am not sure bacon will work.
It looks a little pricey, but there seem to be quite a few mail order feral hog bacon dealers. Sounds like a whole new bacon experience.
I hate gamey food. Makes me throw up right at the table.
Aww! It's a rare treat, a delicacy. Some random guy gave us the yummiest deer jerky recently. You could taste the struggle of nature in every bite.
Never knew that. Thanks.
When I was a kid, one of my Dad's cousins sent us some venison summer sausage. Nobody would eat it except me, because Bambi.
Bambi was deelish!
Venison is unique among game animals I found in that it is delicious.
Last land lord was a harvester (the dog hunters, you know what I mean) and he'd give us some ground or sausage and once a roast.
So amazing.
