Walt, you think drinking one instead of three would be something you could get away with? Might not be worth the chance, though.

Spot on with that last bit, Hips...

Do without them, or do without everything.

if I just did coffee my gut would go nuts on me, stuff happens when you get old...I like strong coffee, pain stripper to some...my girls keep me and many neighbors supplied with eggs, I cruise down the street on the tractor to give 'em away, I get a hoot out of it...modern day green acres...I eat probable more than most, I just burn it faster than I can consume it...2 weeks of covid and I lost 20 pounds...I ain't right folks, those here that know me will attest...one thing about my life is it's never a boring place...

Boo, I can see you now on your tractor delivering eggs. You know it surprises me how many folks in the city around me have hens. The neighbor behind me just across the short 12 ft waterway has them I can see all day. And my nextdoor neighbor keeps me supplied with them too. And very pretty and unusual ones too. Got these a couple days ago. There is a Turkey egg in there too wow

I’ve always wanted a hen house. Thought I’d have one in Ga but to many coyotes there. The folks we sold the place to thought it would be a good idea and started out big instead of small (young and dumb I think but they will learn like we did) they lost 60 chickens in one night. Woke up to a real mess after one of the kids forgot to lock the gate. I could have one here I guess but now I say why buy the cow when you get the milk free I just need to get to know them a bit better before I start asking for their extra chicken poooop

 

[Hippie420]

Everything will eat chickens. I've lost 'em to 'yotes, *****, opposums, stray cats, and hawks. Pretty much have given up 'til I can build a run with a top on it. Nothing like fresh free range fertile eggs for flavor.

I'm in GA Sub and I hear coyotes and wild dogs threw out the years. I was sitting in the woods when a deer ran by, I stood up the watch it ran when a pack of wild dogs came running by well that scared me, so I went into the house.

We gave all of our hens and a rooster to our good neighbors that have teenagers due to that daily trip for wife's cancer treatment .. she's good now and have heard all of the hens are good except for one, she hung herself. Yeah, possums, *****, coyotes and hawks all got their buffet share while we still had them .. I've killed a coyote and think the good neighbor took out a hawk .. it is wot it is but I do miss my chickens .

 

[Hippie420]

Glad the wife is over it. Scary ****.

That’s why we didn’t have them there. The property was in the middle of a tree farm containing all kinds of wildlife including several giant snakes too. Building an environment for them seemed hopeless knowing I would lose some due to the hawks and other nature… it was nice though. I miss it sometimes. We had built a nice comfortable beach area to chill out and actually used our fish pond for swimming of course not till I walked around the whole thing with my 38 loaded with snake shot.

Chickens free range will eat a whole bunch of ticks too

Just had some big stones removed from my left kidney. On the downhill slide now to recovery. A few more days then I can go outside and play again. Thanx so much for the well wishes

Whoa! Commiseration sister woman. Been there, done that, and except for the prestige, it sucked. Have they done a urinalysis to determine why you are getting them in the first place?

I remember my boss who had kidney stones and it left such a profound impression from that . I could not drink any thing else without becoming a diabetic or a alcoholic in the quantity as I drink water. Some times when available a Mexican Coca -Cola with cane sugar .

Too much water dilutes our blood electrolytes and leads to heart issues, so I drink water with electrolytes added. I quit drinking seltzer water, because it dropped my urine Ph to much.

I may be talking out of my stern drive when I say this but there are folks who would be more upset by cats then if it was people in them bags

yep .. I have family and friends that are feline fanatics .. it's not that I don't like a pus sy cat every now and again .. yeah

What do you expect from a culture that eats dogs? My reaction to the film was compassion for the fear the cat was expressing and anger at the people treating them that way.

I've met very few animals that I didn't like, but lot's of humans, so my first question would be who is in the bags??

I don’t drink as much as I use to but I probably smoke more weed than any 10 people you know

Our kind of woman!

Never mix hard liquor with sugar like coke or Dr pepper. That's where your headache comes from. I drink Moonshine straight with no problems. Mix it with sugar and pow,, headache.

Ethanol made from mash containing fruticose converts to methanol, which also produces a bang up headache.

wow I don’t think I could do straight shine. Gotta be a bit smoother for me

My first cut on shine typically comes out at about 130 proof. Sipping whiskey is typically around 80 proof. I actually like the taste of the 130 proof, but in tiny sips like a brandy.

Baclava, chocolate cake and cherry pie for breakfast is normal right

Cherry pie for certain!

not a day passes without my breakfast, most important meal of the day in my world...

Same here!
