One of my Philippino daughters follows me online - she might even be reading this thread -I truely hope that your situation changes and you get to meet your daughter. I can only imagine how it weighs on your mind.
Ya - I need to try and get a reliable supply of edibles - because with my heart surgery coming up in less than 3 weeks now - I've gotta stop smoking or vaping anything - 'cos don't want to be coughing when I'm trying to heal a near foot long cut down my sternum - for 3 months - <cough - cough> might split the whole darn thing open -
Yours are too small and mine are too big... Trade you some of mine for some of yours. LMAOI was told not to supplement calcium - since I seem to have some calcium build up in my viens/arteries - this left coronary bypass I have to have in less than 3 weeks - is due to a bit of calcium blocking that artery - and I don't want more of that to happen - calcified arteries and veins - seem to be a big problem - for many old farts -
I live on a farm. We have a cow-calf operation for beef. You learn to not become emotionaly attached. The worst part is if one gets hurt and you have to shoot it. You just do it and dont think about it anymore. The hardest part is deciding that it MUST be done.
My eating etiquette was challenged last night when we attended a dinner put on by my attorney that did my momma’s living trust. We were interested in that too after seeing how smoothly things went after her death. Anyways, it was a super fancy place with enough silverware placed in front of me for a whole family. I knew right away I was in trouble when I started going back to my home economics class to remember the whole proper silverware thing. There were four delicious meals to choose from along with either chocolate cake or cheesecake for desert. They were obviously looking for this crowd to spend a lot of money as there were about 50 of us at the table to listen to the speel. Mr Sub chose the prime rib and I chose the butterfly shrimp. When they brought it after picking up our salad plates it was the most beautiful butterfly shrimp I had ever seen. I waited for those around me to get their food then picked one of those giant shrimp up and took a bite yum boy the best I ever ate I think. Then I noticed that everyone were using a knife and fork to cut their shrimp except old red neck me so I changed up mid dinner but I have to admit it was not as much fun. the nice waiter put My food in a take home box which I ate with my fingers and shared with Maryjane and Arlo as soon as I got home. I guess you can’t take me to the nice places.
Hello Tallulah if you are here reading.One of my Philippino daughters follows me online - she might even be reading this thread -
- if so Hello Tallulah - never forget that Daddy loves you - and that some day we will meet and be together again - hopefully sooner rather than later -
I've been working at my coffee for the last 15 years or so. I love it, but restrict my input to 2 cups a day, well, no more than 3.Yup - I'm a bona-fide - certifiable cawfee addict - and the strongest one lately has been the Samutran Arabica - ran outa that a coupla days ago - so it's just me and the Guatemalan cawfee for now - till that's gone - then have a Colombian stash to drink thru -

After Piggywig I kept things in perspective as I did my part to help slaughter and process our pigs, chickens and calves. A way of life on the farm...............my wife told me I was an asshole I would tell my kids they had got too big for my place
so they went to a real farm
But next year we will get a couple more and try again as I passed them a slice of ham at Sunday dinner
I am so glad I was not one of my kids they are scared for life
peace and be safe

We hatched or bought 100 chicks a year and culled out the roosters when they were old enough to be fryer size and tell the difference. We would then come through again and get the runt roosters that we missed the first time and cull out the hens that had stopped laying.I can drink the milk and eat the eggs but have trouble getting the meat down knowing they are my friends. I couldn’t even eat fish out of my pond after doing it only once. I fed them every morning and I was their fish mom. Catfish and Bream which we stocked when we dug the pond at the artesian well. We let folks Bring their kids and fish and keep anything that was not preggo but I was the fish mom and just couldn’t eat them anymore after that first time. We fished in the pond all the time but always threw them back.
You would have been in trouble no big spoons but three small ones all different shaped.I eat everything with a big spoon. Have for 35 years.
Morning Giggy. Slow but moving is goodMorning folks, moving slow but moving.
