Have you got any of those left? i run a few through my juicer and they were pretty tasty.
It's hard to kill sweet potatoes I believe, everytime I look, there is another sprout popping up from a potato I missed....I think I'll have sweet potatoes forever now.

Sure beats a Kroger tho......:)

Kinda wish we had decent farmers markets around here, but there really isn't many people growing anything if you don't have shade, the sun just fries everything.
We have a lot of farmers markets here but it's hard to find one that you can trust to be truly organic.

MMM that sounds delicious I like kiwis a lot and with anything you juice the nutrients go much deeper into your cells which is why I never use any questionable veggies for my juices If i ain't pretty sure they are true organics I never use them.

if we would of known all this 15 to 20 years ago not only how we would be today
Problem is, you would not have listened to that forecast of "how you would be today." None of us ever did. Your parents told you, your grandparents told you, your teachers and maybe even preachers told you. None of us "kids" listened because each of us was certain we were invincible and WE could conquer the world. My body is broken to hell today because I did not listen yesterday. And yet, today, now that I know what I did wrong and what the right way to live, eat, etc. is, the younger generation -- those who we wish to help so very much -- just are not listening to a bunch of old pharts who surely cannot be talking about THEM and their chosen lifestyles.

Your right, Rich....if someone told me 15yrs ago I shouldn't eat at Micky-D's, I'd prolly tell um to go fuck themselves.

OK youse guyz... Good night to all.

I'm now gonna crawl in bed with a couple gorgeous pussies (cats, you perverts :grumpy:) and dream that I would have acquired today's wisdom when I was young enough to use it instead of ruining this body by listening to all the false advertising and peer pressure.

All teenagers should run for president now, while they still know everything, because by the time they are old enough to handle the job, they will also have learned they never were smart enough to do it. It is the same for what to eat, drink, exercise, etc.

I'm now seeing it through my own kids. Unfortunately we all have to learn the hard way. We can tell kids all day long but all the hear is blah, blah, and blah. WE don't realize that our parents, grandparent, and others are right until it starts happening to us.

Good night y'all have a good night and blessed day tomorrow.

I am amazed at how many complain of no privacy and use smartphones, etc and post every fart on FB or somesuch.
Like those who give up freedoms for supposed security then complain about being inspected at airports.
Fatherland security keeps on growing.

Once upon a time, I had a close friend who was exactly as you describe and I always argued the opposite position. He would say, time and again, "Why should you care if you have nothing to hide?" My answer, then and now: "My life is none of their fucking business unless I chose to share it. What you take from me without my permission is theft."

You should have followed up by asking some very personal questions of the one who had nothing to hide,,,

Everyone has things they will not tell others.

I just remembered a guy who had the same nothing to hide argument.
He was fired from a very nice job for theft :)

My father told me believe nothing you hear only only 1/2 of what you see.
With todays tech I would say only believe 1/10 of what you see online or TV.

I knew him for a couple decades and he would have told me anything if I had bothered to ask. His only request was that I not tell his wife. I tried to tell him that if he kept letting google, microsoft, youtube, facebook, etc. steal his life, she could easily find everything he didn't want her to know. "Oh no, she'd never get on the computer to ask." ... bullshit...

I grew up with that philosophy too. To me, what you "see" on TV is in the same category as the gossip you hear. With Photoshop, I can show you a picture of yourself doing something you have never done and everyone else will believe it because I provided "photographic proof." I have seen the same videos on two different news stations and it is obvious they are manipulating the images. Don't believe that shit either.

How long till we elect virtual politicians?
Given that both sides of the aisle speak from their asses (and wallets), I am not so sure we don't already have that. The TV/computer says "I promise to do X" and the result is always "Y." Makes me ponder whether the Matrix might not already be real.

Well, off to do farm stuff. Talk to ya later tonight (if you're here).

Ouch! Mine wasn't nearly so long. Rewired the chicken coop so the new water fount is finally getting some heat to keep it from freezing. No big deal.
Cold as hell I assume?

Was fairly decent today, mostly cloudy, about 65 degrees without much sun.
