Yes. Make sure you tell the new drivers, kids/grandkids, the gory truth about this.
I had this conversation with my son before he got his license. When the organ donation box is checked and you get in an accident, the hospital has zero reason to keep you alive. Many of your organs can be harvested out to many patients. Oh, and BTW, I've heard they do the harvesting while you are conscious but powerless/intubated to stop them.

And...if you had organ donor checked previously, make sure it gets removed while you are at the DMV. Story several months back about a guy wanted it removed, dmv worker tried 3 times being very careful along the way. It looked correct, but the system kept switching back to organ donation. Finally had to get a supervisor involved to do a low level switch/override in the system to get it to go through.
This is the kit I got. Ignore the picture, totally ridiculous.
Hydroponics Growing System Indoor Garden: Herb Garden Kit Indoor with LED Grow Light Quiet Smart Water Pump Automatic Timer Healthy Fresh Herbs Vegetables - Hydroponic Planter
The kit I have has 7-8 cones/sponges. This is the growing medium that is held in the water.
I had about 3 seeds per sponge.
Think leaves, not heads. When it really got growing, I would harvest some of the leaves for a salad. Then more leaves would grow out of the same cone/sponge/plant.
If I had too many leaves at one time, I would harvest and keep in the refrigerator like bagged lettuce you get in the store. We planted in January and once grown (about 3 weeks) were harvesting leaves like this until about mid-april. By then, it was clear to start a new batch - new sponges and seeds.
If you have ever planted a flower box on your deck railing with say spinach or romaine, the harvesting was more like this.
The one box was good for us to start. We live in mn, so in the dead of winter, warming up with a bowl of chili vs a salad is the go to 🙂. So, a bit of retraining our palates is also needed along the way. Even without hydroponics, we don't eat mass amounts of salad in the winter. No one is really talking about making a big ol' bowl of salad on the weekend in mn winters.🙂
We did not stager the planting, but did stager the harvesting by harvesting of a couple of cones at a time. Then, while those cones are growing again, you can harvest of some of the other cones, then rotate back.
Also, when I state harvest, it is really more of a thinning out. Bottom leaves are oldest and largest so they get harvested first. Leave the top ones alone so they continue to grow. Eventually these will become the bottom ones.
I put the fertilizer on amazon subscribe and save am playing around with the frequency. For what we did with the first box we had enough, but by the time we wanted to start the second box, we needed more. Have not looking into cheaper alternative here, yet.
I would say start now with one box. Learn while there is an abundance of garden produce. By the time fall rolls around, you will have a good idea of how much you will get from a box in the wintertime. If you need more boxes, you can always order then.
Good luck!!
Think about hydroponics.
I picked up a kit for the family for Christmas just to try. I chalked the cost of the system up to being about the price of a community ed course - $50-75. It's the price of education.
We grew lettuce in the winter indoors. Totally worked! Tasted great.
Bought a few more hydroponic systems as part of a prepping system for food. Used these kits as tomato starters for our garden - it worked great! Totatoes are now planted in the garden.
Kale, rosemary, and lavender starting from seed now in the hydroponic system.
Still doing lettuce while waiting for garden to come in. (I'm in growing zone 3 if this seems late to be starting gardening. 🙂)
This winter I plan to continue lettuce and then do herbs. Basil, peppermint, and cilantro for cooking. Unless of course SHTF and I need to grow more substantial food. 🙂
I got the kit off Amazon. Box, grow light, fertilizer, cones/sponges are all included. I purchased seeds separately.
Yes. I can see where the confusion came in.
We do not have a DIY store that is mom and pop owned.
We used to about 20-25 years back and we would shop there - until they had to close due to mismanagement/embezzlement issues.
Now I look at Menards and Home Depot in my town and realize that they employ my neighbors from the community.
We are using the term "local" differently.
We have Menards and Home Depot in my town. Both are less than 5 miles from my house - they are local.
The closest Lowes is about 20-25 miles away.
You are correct in saying that all three are big box stores. Wasn't trying to imply the these are mom and pop stores.
BIL's wife is that way. Was depressed when she found out she was having a girl. When the baby was born and growing up, she was not given girl toys (dolls, barbies, playhouse, pretend kitchen set, etc). She was only given gender neutral toys.
If extended family would give her a doll or a toy dishes set, it would soon go missing or accidentally break and be thrown out.
BIL's wife doesn't even refer to her by name, she is known simply as "kid" - even in Christmas cards.
BIL's wife thought it was cute if she ignored the "kid" if the kid did not call her "mommy". (Mommie Dearest, anyone?)
The girl has grown up to produce art that would fit right in with the podesta collection.
I am waiting for the LGBTQ announcement.
Wait a minute.
Unless I am mistaken, threatening someone and creating fear is a punishable offense. Right?
Target's forensic science unit is top notch. Seriously bad-assed. PDs will sometimes send Target some of their forensic work, at least they used to do this. High profile cases as well - murder and abductions. Especially in the case of abductions - the first 24 hours are critical, so, all hands on deck. Target would drop all other work to help. Target would do this work as a way of giving back to the community.
My point here is that Target has the capabilies to easily build a case against the perpetrators. The perpetrators should be held accountable for their actions and prosecuted.
We are a nation of laws. IF this happened, and I question that it did, it should prosecuted. Clutching your lady parts and hyperventilating about terrorism is not the way to handle this.
Who says they have to "do" anything?
Marketing 101 Customers are fickle. Brand loyalty is like gold.
For me, Home Depot and Menards are local. Lowes is not. I have "heard" that Lowes caters to women who don't know how to do stuff. True? IDK. But, that doesn't sound like a place for me. My "impression" is that it is going to be cheap and plasticy.
Now, in all fairness to Lowes, I should verify this info, but, is it going to make a material difference? No, it won't. I will still shop locally at Menards and Home Depot. So, I won't bother. I might be totally wrong. I can live with that.
See, fickle reasoning. Menards and Home Depot just happen to be close AND I have had many good experiences there.
Lowes has to overcome my negative impressions of them and get me to not shop local in order for me to shop at their store.
Not sure why you are being down voted. Unless you are making fun of me and I just don't get the joke.
I had first listed the Adult store because I would see it every time on the highway when I went to visit my mom. Son wanted to know what kind of store that was (when he was little). I told him that it is a store we don't shop at. Clear connection to Target - a store we don't shop at.
Later, I thought, wait a minute, there are a bunch of stores I don't go to, so I editted and added these in no particular order. Just stores that I see along the highway, but don't go to either.
I do not care if they change their policies. I do not care if they sell satanic crap OR if they change their policy to stop selling satanic crap. I am not trying to get them to change their behavior.
I am simply not going to shop at Target.
This is the same policy I have for the Adult Pleasures Superstore, Petsmart, Slumberland, Hobby Lobby, Walgreens, Lowe's, Dick's Sporting Goods, Bath and Body, and Krogers.
I do not shop at these stores either.
My take.
Some refuse to see. Disney is a magical place for them and they want to share it with their grandchildren. They comingle fun times with family with being at Disney.
When they are confronted with the truth about Disney, they defend Disney and respond that you have this all over. Nothing to see here.
Others don't want to go against the narrative. Disney WAS known as family friendly. These people won't change until the widely accepted narrative changes. They won't waken before that or their child gets trafficked by Disney.
Others don't know. They are surface people. They see nothing wrong in the movies and will just laugh and state its ridiculous. These are just cartoons. They they will proceed to tell you their favorite ones - yes, this was a conversation I had with a home schooling mom!
C'mon man, get with the program.
I am going to run some errands. I'm going to have the wagie at the post office mail my package.
Then, I am going to the grocery store where the wagie will ring up my groceries and with any luck have my wagie son who stocks the shelves there bag and carry out my groceries.
Fun times!
Great point. Target's forensic science units are top notch and in all likelihood better than your PD's.
Remember, they can lift your prints off of merchandise you touched. They see you on the camera and grab your prints - they match your prints to the camera image.
Target will often volunteer time to work on PD cases when work is slow. At least they used to do this.
It was a way they could sharpen their skills through practice and experience AND give back to the community.
Very cool.
Why not just put the merch in the wrong part of the store?
The inventory system says that they have X of something, but when they go to the location, there is not X, its less than that.
Make it like a big ol' game of treasure hunt. Get all the departments involved.
Heck, why not hide some of the clothing in shoe boxes? Or behind electronics boxes? Or behind games? Or underneath other hanging clothing in the store? Or wrap it in a towel or put it in bins?
Get creative.
Me? I choose just not to go to Target.
Oh, what an awful spot to be in.
So, in this case, if I understand you correctly, in California, Republicans and Democrats are not kept separated and it is kind of a Battle Royale at the primary level.
And I thought runoff voting was bad...which BTW Minnesota is thinking about switching to because it's been working so well in Alaska (sarc).
Think of the primary as narrowing the field of candidates for a party. Going into the primary there are for instance 5 candidates all vying to be the democrat nominee. This includes the incumbent, if any.
Democrats have their primary. Republicans have their primary. This election may be on the same day, but as a voter, I can only vote for the republican slate of candidates OR the democrat slate of candidates for the primary, not both (at least thats how it is in my state). Republicans and democrats do not run against each other in the primaries.
The primary election is held. Only one candidate wins the election for their party and is put forward in the election process as that party's nominee.
To be "primaried", you are the incumbent that lost your bid to be a candidate for re-election. This is the main way this term is used.
All other candidates that lost in the primary are referred to as simply having lost not "primaried". Though technically, one could use the term for any candidate that lost in the primary, the impact of the term is generally used for incumbent candidates.
This happened to Liz Cheney as she did not win in the primary election even though she was the incumbent. This was quite the upset when she was primaried because she was an incumbent. Incumbents are tough to beat, but can be primaried and thus do not even appear on the ballot going in to the general election.
Also, please note, even if a candidate loses in the primary, the voters could still vote for that candidate in the general election by write-in. Total long shot to win as the canidate is NOT printed on the ballot.
Exactly.
Here's my first hand knowlege.
COVID deaths - 3. The first one was a woman who TBH probably would not have made it through flu season. The second and third ones were vented (admitted into hospital w/COVID and then put on remdesiver and a ventilator) so, murdered.
Vaxx injuries - 4. One guy took the shot. Developed myocarditis, but says he's now cured. One woman took the shot and is having neural issues that I noticed get a lot worse as she thinks about it. One developed leg clots after taking it, but also is predisposed to this due to family history of blood clots. One guy is vaxxed and fully boosted - always getting sick with every thing that comes along, kind of a germ freak, too. To be honest, I suspect that there is a powerful psychological component magnifying these effects at work here also.
Vaxx deaths - zero.
If it is really as bad as reported on this site and alternate news, I should see people I know dropping left and right. Many family members and friends across multiple states should be adversely affected from the vaxx and are not. In fact, there are a few smug and sanctimonious individuls who took the shot right away, and according to Dr. Tenpenny's predictions should have died already. Nope, they are still virtue signaling the vaxx.
