RE: Enough with the "likes"

I just ignore it. But, have to open to get rid of notification. I think people are programmed from other sites like FB. Hit that like button people!!
It doesnt matter if one wrote in a profile you are looking for ONLY a person with one green eye, one brown, feathers instead of hair and living in a cave. You would still get likes and messages from idiots who SAID they read your profile!
Sometimes I wonder if I am supposed to want to marry or ADOPT the writer! Sheesh!
The joke is the foreign ones. Sure..I will fly right over to meet you. Or better yet, fly them over here.
I don't know if it is hope springs eternal in the hearts of doomed. Or they want to pretend anyone gives a darn.

Sometime it must be spring.

Color of shell makes no difference. Neither does breed of hen. What counts is food. My hens are free range all over the farm. And beside what they find to eat as to bugs, weeds, grass, frogs and mule manure...all they get is shell corn. So the yolks are orange, not that pale yellow and full of flavor. Commercial hens are fed laying mash. It is soy bean meal, fish meal, corn meal, wheat or oat meal and nutrients. All with the intent to make them pop out an egg every day. A feral hen can live to 15 although most average under 7. A commercial hybrid hen dies at age 3. Mine chickens average at least 5.
My dad liked goose eggs. Mom and I didn't. They are very tight and tough, same as ducks. I guess taste is similar to hen. But it is texture I dislike.
My hens are crosses of ferals, and hybrids and pure hybrids. Some eggs are white, most browns. They range in size from bird egg to small to medium to large and once in a while..YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME..OW size.
There are chickens referred to as Easter eggers. They are Araconas.(sp) I had some. Lay green or blue or yellow eggs shells. I waited eagerly. THAT is IT? So pale? I thought like dyed eggs. So much for that. And the hen lays only the one color she picks, forever.
Shell color is genetic to birds for their need to hide and keep safe from predators. Altho..what is up with Robins?

RE: A look at housing migrants

When are the blacks and browns who live here, born here, going to get enraged at illegals getting more than they have gotten working their butts off for years?
Many of the illegals are not fleeing, they are seeking..jobs, money to send home, welfare. You know, they things our poor wish they qualified for.
And where would the US be if our patriots had just fled rather than risked all to fight our revolution?

RE: Propylene glycol. It has a lot of the same properties as antifreeze, but it's not toxic.

Like MSG, why do we need it in so many products. Another one of the chemicals in our products brought to you by Monsanto. Or the other chemical companies. I read a blurb that said if your item contains more than 6 things and you can't ID them, don't buy it.

RE: Why does NK do this?

Simple, same reason a child said mommy, mommy, mommy. Look at me. To get attention. He is afraid between covid, elections, fires, storms, volcanoes, economy and all the rest that takes the worlds interest, no one will pay attention to him and he and his country will fall by the wayside of who cares.

RE: Red flag words, pics and phrases in the profile....

Love to party. Self employed. Love to travel. A few extra pounds...yeah for what? An elephant?

I hate varments.

Thank you. But, I always hope to educate the blind.

RE: Looking for new friends

Lots of friends here. As long as you don't want to date them.

RE: i play the no lose lottery ,,

I wish I would win the lottery. But, then I would have to buy tickets. Oh well...Publishers Clearing House only cost a stamp. Just as good a chance as the government run ones.
Go back in time and buy a Bitcoin. Who knew?

RE: ACV Vinegar

Good old switzel. Everybody drank it in the summer. Women carried it out to the fields for the men. I made it years ago. But, idiot me. I like blackstrap molasses. So brain storm 186..add more to the recipe and it will be better. WRONG! Next time I will stick to the recipe!
Everyone drank it because it was thirst quenching.
I found a simpler way to ingest ACV. Tablets. Many stomach issues are caused by not enough acid, not too much. Using stuff to stop production of acid in gut just makes body make more.

RE: Is it only me?

I swear sometimes, there is a camera or microwave or something. Sit on sofa ALL day..nothing. Get up and head to do something and ring!!! My problem is my fella and I have ESP link after all these years. I don't dare mention his name nor think about him, cause for sure he will call. And it will be when I have gone into another room and have to run back to grab the phone. And then if it is a robo call....

RE: The kind of content desired on CS blogs

Ideally moderators would like that. No profiles that discount anyone for any reason. Everyone seeking a soul mate. Women of indescribable beauty, youth and form, willing to bear children and worship their man. Men of heroic form, movie star looks, wealth, romantic knights in shining armor.
Too bad real humans frequent date sites.

RE: GROUNDHOG DAY - Time For The Annual Awakening Of The Furry Forecasters!

Jimmy the groundhog/woodchuck predicts early spring. Weathermen forecast for Wisconsin for the next two weeks or more..POLAR VOTEX temps and snow. Are woodchucks edible?
It has never made sense to me. First, they don't come out of hibernation. Some handler drags them out of their cage, shakes them awake and hauls them out into a cold morning. Second, wouldn't it make more sense to say early spring if it is a nice sunny day, not a cloudy cold one?
This year our critter was a guy in a furry suit. At least he didn't bite the guy in the top hat on his ear like the other year.
Spring is when I shed 12 layers, the geese come home and it rains instead of snows. Oh..and I stop walking outside like a penguin!

RE: Confucius, ancient Chinese thinker....

The sad part of all "great" thinkers is that their attempts to enlighten and enrich humans fail. A few people make a resolution to be man at his best. The rest either never understand the concepts or discard them in their struggle to obtain the material things societies tell them must be their goals. Atavistic man wins out over the intellectual man.
I always say humans were given the brains to become their gods and they blew it. My late husband used to say we gave them the books and they ate them.

RE: Older Men vs. tater tots

Older men are of a different generation...when they weren't spoiled brats. Learned to work for a living and be men. My problem is older men now are either in nursing home or cemetery.
My dad was 54 when I was born. Mom asked me once if I felt gypped cause didnt have a young dad who could play with me. i said no. First off, he played, made me a kite and showed me stuff, built me a sled and pulled me on it. Second off, told her I didn't need a playmate, I needed a father. And he knew who he was, where he had been and where he was, had no wild oats to sow and had knowledge to teach me about life.
I didn't need a young dad who was too busy finding his own way in the world.
Children having children short changes parents and kids.

RE: Confucius, ancient Chinese thinker....

When studying any ancient philosophies, whether Chinese, Roman, Greek or even indigenous peoples, one must consider the knowledge level, the living conditions, the rulers and the age. We have the ability to sort the wheat from the chaff and see that different times lead to different beliefs.
The wording of man is also used to indicate mankind as in humans, not male as opposed to female. The same rules apply to all people no matter whom. Be your best.

RE: Confucius, ancient Chinese thinker....

His main point always was man at his best. The bulk of his sayings tried to teach that man should strive to do right and be best at his endeavors. Whether peasant or royal, how he treats others is how to judge a man.

That dr. licence renewal time.

That few question page, a fast eye check that I CAN see and my license is good for 8 years again. Mkaes me happy, but, how many things can go wrong in a year to an elderly driver! I am still a good driver. But, at my age, dislike driving anymore. Too many things to watch for...front, back, side, turns, lights. And more so that moron who thinks pink is a traffic signal color. No way I will drive in a city again. No way travel cross country on a trip. I use common sense. But, between texting, smart phones, touch screens..young and old can be a road hazard.

RE: A blog about the blogs

I view blogs like peoples stories. Some have little interest so not checking it out. Some I read and am interested, but have nothing to add so why comment just to comment. There are those who like each other and chum back and forth. There are some who live to fight with each other.
I guess it is the old adage of sticks and stones. Want to chat with me, fine. Dont, fine. Whatever. I don't feel the need to always add my two cents worth.

Connection hopes.

Thank you.

RE: Yellow Alert! A signal has been Detected

Point taken. If it is a true signal, when was it actually sent, as opposed to when we received it. If a true signal, it could just be acknowledgement of existence. Or perhaps their form of Seti. Seti listens, it doesnt broadcast. So it can't be a reply to Seti.
It would be great if real. I have waited for Seti my whole life and at this point, come to the conclusion that we are it...Seti waits in vain.

Could I please go postal on an insurance company?

No payment method is good when dealing with a company of free range morons. I haven't gotten confirmation yet as to whether bank draft went through or if that is in someone's folder to do when they can put their phone down to Twitter long enough to do their job.

RE: Big 10 inches for you ladies

They are talking up to 30 inches. You can have it I dont want it...better you than me! I may see 40F by weekend. I can live with that better than snow..I will give it ALL to you.

RE: Kick Trump Goodbye !

Yep. Back to the old guard..the swamp is re-filling with all the old career politicians who did squat except for filling their and their buddies bank accounts.
I listened to Biden introducing his cabinet. He made sure to hit all the bases...one black, one brown, someone old and someone new. BUT, where is the yellow? Guess Asians don't matter. Or does Harris count since India is close to Asia.
So back we go to the same ole same ole. Tighten your belt, Socialism is on it's way. Or is it Communism now?

RE: So I want to write about

I wonder if we don't understand quantum theory or physics and lot of science is due to the fact that so much of it is supposition. Science speculates about dark matter, black holes, time/space continuum and the rest, but the only proof is what those scientists say.
Much of science is theory. The age of dinosaurs is by carbon dating because scientists say so. The measurement of planets, distance to stars, age of the galaxy..all because a group of people agree on it.
We accept things because we lack a way to prove nor disprove it. Especially the age of things since carbon has a set life after which is ceases to exist.
In my hum drum life, I ignore quantum ideas and much of this kind of stuff. Same as after life. I have no proof, it doesn't affect me and I have no influence on it, so let those who want to spend a lifetime on it, have at it.
The more man thinks, the more he realizes how stupid we are. Except gravity. Apples fall and hit us in the head. Of course, we assume gravity exists due to earths rotation. Proooveee it!

RE: "Howdy neighbor. Do you have a jar of honey, that I could borrow ?"

Uh..anyone see my bathing trunks?

RE: Essentials

If people stocked stuff like farms do, essential wouldn't be an issue. I can't understand why a bar and restaurant worker is deemed essential. I see basics as essential. So food and pet food and meds are essential. And food only basics like sugar, flour, eggs, oil, dairy. In this country fruit roll ups and pizza rolls are considered essential for the spoiled little brats. Oh, and soda.
I grew up on this farm. We shopped about once a month. Mom made a list and so did dad. When we went to town, bought what was needed for a month..or more. Especially in winter. Forgot something..do without til next trip. Mom and dad made sure we always had stocks for emergency. She canned and froze food. Rarely had fresh milk cause we didn't own a cow. Tinned was always on the shelf.
People today are spoiled. Even ordering. We had Sears and Wards catalogs. Get it in a week. Other catalogs, get it in 2-4 weeks. Now that I am old, like long shipping cause if a few things ordered, forgot what I ordered so it is like a gift..gee..what is in the package?
Knickers with holes..could be we yank always in the same spots? Elastic...men's last forever..womens..first wash!
Problem with a farm full of anything one needs, be it tools, electrical, plumbing, fasteners, lumber, metal...I can never find a blasted thing. I can have more fun shopping my own buildings! OH! I forgot I had that. Great..now put it back cause don't need it right now anyway. Now, where was it?

RE: Childhood

I hate water. Can't stand the feeling on my skin. Rarely swim, half the time wear my wellies to walk in the river. Showers annoy me, have to get wet, then take a bath and be wet all over. React to rain like an angry cat. I don't fear water, just hate wet.
Got to thinking about it once. Mom told me about when I was a toddler. My mom, dad and I were down on the river. We on shore, dad out in the water. I wouldn't take no for an answer and kept wanting to run out by dad. He finally told mom, he was on the edge of a break,right there and to let me go.
I ran out and when I got to him, he ordered STOP! I ignored him and kept going, Off the break I went. He let me go completely under, grabbed my hair and yanked me back up.
Mom said when I came up, water running out of my mouth, nose and all, I wasn't crying. I was totally mad. She said I was slapping at the water, yelling, BAD WATER! BAD WATER!
Dad carried me back to shore and said NOW! When I or mom says NO or STOP, you listen!
It was a lesson learned.
I wonder now, if that is not what put it in my mind to hate water?

The Maquis de Sade

So much for my proof reading. Oops.

Happiness if a full woodshed.

Mom was born in Chicago. Parents and me moved here when I was a baby. Worst winter ever for Wisconsin. Mom told dad, this is what we moved for. Maybe should have stayed in Chicago!!!
Dont get as bad snows as there tho. And as I grew, winters got milder after the 60s.
Glad I don't have to work anymore and drive into town in winter. Just go out under cover to fill wood furnace and lock up barn at night. Otherwise, hibernate.
