Yeah, we only get 4-inches of rain an hour during monsoon season.

Speaking of... damn, everything I mowed just a couple days ago needs to be re-mowed already, and there's enough weeds in the garden to keep someone pulling for several more days, and I have logs to saw and fences to build and... I am getting tired just thinking about it all.
It was a flood some streets temporary shut down, had water in the basement. It run off before much could soak in
Pick up some fukitol tabs at the pharm or amazon.....
You don't have a flock of goats? They'll take care of the grass AND the weeds, and just leave fertilizer behind.
No, we'd have to eat them all every fall or pay more to feed them through winter. And the cows and horses are not keeping up with the pasture growth at the moment, so I'm not turning them loose in the yards yet.
I like a baaaaaaarbecue once in a while, but i can see how that would be hard on you.
I got a text message late last night from the GF, she got a (few) young chicks too.....said the guy was going to kill them. I told here I will too when I get there. Hope she plans on eating Peking Duck and Chicken Alfredo.
Wait til she wants you to build a rabbit hutch.
No more critters....the ducks and chickens can take care of themselves. I want nothing to do with other creatures.
Hasta linguini, Jimi
I'm outta here too Jimi....have a long day tomorrow.
If they are Guineas, likely she would have called the babies "keets" instead of "chicks," so they probably are chickens.
But, rabbits are so delicious. Just like the ducks
I can't eat rabbit....just the thought would make me gag....although their supposed to be good.
The national meat delicacy in EC is Guinea Pig, incredible....couldn't eat one of those either...used to have them for pets when I was young.
G'nite Jimi and Dale.
Sarah, wanna bet Dale loses this argument?

I've shot and eaten many rabbits. Smaller rodents just don't have enough meat to make them worthwhile. The only problem with rabbit is the lack of fat, which has to be made up for at another meal.
Good nite Rich
G'nite Jimi and Dale.
Sarah, wanna bet Dale loses this argument?
Me too, but I don't like them, or pheasants, ducks, geese, quail... all way to greasy tasting for my tongue. I only like the white meat on chickens and turkeys. I far prefer beef.
Does that mean you went to bed or I did?
My favorite cut of beef is the heart. I tend to like more exotic foods, but that's me.
Anyways, it's my bed time. See y'all tomorrow.
OK. G'nite, Sarah. And I guess that means I am the last man standing (OK, sitting), so I'm gonna turn out the lights now and go cuddle the kitties.
The easiest way is usually not the best way in the long run.

Remember back when we were told not to get drugs from Canada (cheaper) because they were not made in the USA?
Now the majority of our drugs are NOT made in the USA and many ingredients to make the drugs come from China.
Now the majority of our drugs are NOT made in the USA and many ingredients to make the drugs come from China.
Don't you just love it when they pass laws to prevent you from getting certain things from other countries, based upon harming the economy? I think big industry does a good enough job doing just that.
Ohh the story they gave was that the drugs were unsafe since they were not made in the USA...
You know just as well as i that it's all hogwash. Look how many drugs made in the USA get recalled because they screwed up.
And the fact that the majority of our drugs are no longer made in the USA.
And the companies that make them are not even US based companies for the most part.
Rainy and stormy here all day....

Ok so I’m an old phart and getting older by the day.
I didn’t come to the realization until one of the kids were shocked that I grew up in a house without internets or streaming television.

You probably understand why they call it 'dialing' a phone number....

Hadn’t been told; but, would I be correct to assume it was because of the rotary dial?
Yep.

Not at all!!! Thank goodness we have a good WiFi provider nowadays. Hell hath no fury like an 8 year old without WiFi.
Never needed WiFi when I was little. There was no such thing as internet. The only video game I had was Pong.
Saw a youtube vid of a teen ager trying to make a call on a rotary dial phone.
Was pushing the heck out of the numbers in the holes first
Then was shown how to dial and asked how would she know what number she had dialed with no display?
Final training was to pick up the receiver before dialing

I had a stick and a rock.
One thing... the sisters did NOT hog the bathroom since it was an outhouse
My schoolhouse only had 1 room with a potbellied stove in the middle.
Water pump and 2 toilets outside.
Remember bicycles? Mom and dad didn't have to drive me half a block to go to a friend's house.I had a stick and a rock.
One thing... the sisters did NOT hog the bathroom since it was an outhouse
I walked about 1/8 mile each way to catch the school bus.
And it was only uphill one way... Well actually both ways since there was a dip in the middle
bought my first bicycle at about 12 with money I earned putting up hay for a neighbor for $5/day.
Was used.
But was wonderful!
