Thanks for this post. Yeah, I am an animal/nature lover and hippie frog.
Interesting. Rambo must be getting famous because I just started watching her a couple of weeks ago and now she's popping up places. My favorites are Rambo driving to "In the Air Tonight," "Dreams," and "Regulate."

My husband and I have done the exact same thing over the last couple of years. Fruit trees, nut trees, vegetable gardens, chickens, guinea fowl, and beehives. We're fixing our fencing so that we can get a few goats this summer, we hope. It's such a satisfying feeling to produce your own food and to live off the land like God intended.
Maybe plant some pecan trees. Those are nice to have. And some grapevines, too. You could also get a couple of beehives, depending on your space. And if you get some goats, you could have your own milk and cheese and sell any babies the girls produce.
This isn't a criticism, but maybe some encouragement. My husband and I both work full time and both have commutes over 35 miles. We have fourteen chickens, some guinea fowl, beehives, a few rows of fruit and nut trees, and a garden. We've spent two years getting to this point. Yes, we're exhausted, but yes, it's worth it when you have your own eggs, fruit, honey, and vegetables. There's also a lot of potential to meet like-minded people and also to be able to help your frens and neighbors.
This is the official explanation: "The flag consists of four colors: red, white, green, and black, inspired by the poetic verse of Safi al-Din al-Hilli, a 14th century warrior poet: 'Our actions are bright, our battlefields are dark, our lands are green, and our swords are red with the blood of our enemies.'" It's an interesting connection, though.
Howard Stern made a deal with someone, I'm sure of it. He sold his soul to the Deep State and Democrat overlords to protect himself. That's the only explanation for why he hasn't been canceled a thousand times over and why he's such a cheerleader now for every single Democrat agenda. What a sellout hypocrite and phony. He'd do anything for a dollar.
I have a family member who does rail maintenance for a living. He works an insane amount of overtime because the company won't hire new workers. The stories I hear sound very unsafe for him and for all of the railroad employees.
Update: Update on the King's health is "imminent."
I just found out this morning that one of my coworker's kids lost her baby at eight and a half months earlier this week. Horrible. But, with the current state of the world, it's not shocking anymore. There is so much poison out there.
I used to enjoy his show in the early 2000s and found him kind of charming. I quit watching after I got sick of all the liberal, anti-American messages he jammed into so many episodes. The one that broke the camel's back was when he was moaning about how Americans want to send so many of NYC's (illegal) cooks back to their home countries. Yes. Yes, we do. I'm sure he had a few working in his own restaurants.
These school boards are full of cowards. They never take action on anything of real importance.
Chuck Palahniuk wrote Fight Club, by the way, and is gay and also half Ukrainian. His books should not be in a high school library. On the other hand, as a high school teacher, none of my students will touch a book voluntarily and it's doubtful most kids that age ever notice these things. They're getting all their filth from TikTok.
I had to come back to add that it's nice to see employees who take some pride in themselves and their jobs. They look neat and presentable and pleasant. It's so rare these days. I'm hoping we return to a time when ALL workers are treated with respect when they work hard and not just those with so-called "important" jobs and master's degrees.
I'm in NC. One of our dogs was barking like a lunatic for about thirty minutes tonight and I couldn't get her to stop. I checked a few times and nothing was there. She's sleeping in her bed now, finally. I noticed when I took my other dog out for a potty break a little while later that a neighbor's dog down the road was going crazy, too, and that dog rarely makes a sound. Interesting...
Yep, still waiting on the kill shot. But I listened to Art Bell religiously and have never forgotten when Dames described the moment war would cease as everyone looked to the sky. I am looking forward to it. When Q says biblical, I expect it to be BIG.
I teach high school. My students have asked me several times about my opinions on certain issues, and I won't give them. I tell them that it's not my place to talk about politics or ANY other sensitive issue. If they want to debate each other, I allow it to an extent, but I won't tell them what to think. It kills me to see these teachers who use their classrooms as platforms for activism. And there are so many these days. They should be fired, but instead, they're propped up as heroes. This is why America's kids are so poorly educated and so mentally ill. Half my kids can barely read and don't know their multiplication tables at 18, but hey, they know what genderqueer means, and that's what matters.
