    This may be a touchy subject, but ..... Marijuana

    100% legal. Grown on regulated farms to control content and quality. Taxed by at least 50%. People are going to get it any way. Kids are going to get it weather it's legal or not. Making it legal may make it more difficult for kids because it would wipe out the black market. Save a lot of lives...

    ANyone eaten goat meat?

    Don't you have to castrate the males before they come of age? I heard the testosterone affects the taste.

    Safe rooms?

    Yesterday while driving down the highway in one of our more agricultural areas I saw some concrete boxes with steel doors on them. They were advertised as above ground storm shelters. I wonder if they were anchored to some piers in the ground if they would withstand a class 5 tornado. They came...

    Egg recall - there's gold in them thar hen houses!

    We have a 8'x16' house that is divided in to 2 8x8 rooms with a door frame between them. When we have new hens we put chicken wire over the door frame opening and separate the old from the new. We leave them like this for a couple weeks. Then remove the chicken wire. There is a little pecking...

    This is what I have BEEN saying!!!!!

    I get cynical like that too. There are more and more people trying to do the right thing though. We'll never get the political hacks to do the right thing. It's up to us.

    Double Dip Recession?

    As the song goes. Those jobs are gone boys and they aint coming back. They are predicting another 10 years minimum for this recession to truly end. The reason it will take so long is because all those laid off people will have to be trained to do different jobs. Then of course there's all the...

    Safe rooms?

    I don't think I would want to be in a mobile home during a tornado. It seems like whenever there are casualties in a tornado it involves a mobile home park. If you had a mobile home somewhere that allows you to dig holes do what she said. I f you're in a house with a basement just find a good...

    For all you smokers out there

    I have asthma and I know what it's like not being able to breathe. I don't blame it on second hand smoke either. My asthma is very much under control through medications. Not being able to take a full breath is a terrible feeling. Smoking is a lot like overeating. You know it's bad for you...

    This is what I have BEEN saying!!!!!

    The thing is that it just keeps getting pushed off. As things get worse people will move to better places of they can. Others will just adapt. In 100 years you could see people wearing protective clothing and breathing apparatus when they go outside. Nothing changes until it absolutely has too.

    For all you smokers out there

    I agree that other cancers besides lung cancer are caused by diet vs smoking. There are warehouses full of evidence showing that the carcinogens that are in tobacco cause lung cancer and worse than that, they cause emphysema. Dying from emphysema would be worse than ling cancer. Spending years...

    This is what I have BEEN saying!!!!!

    Spot on again Buster in both your postings. Polar bears are dying because the areas they inhabit are turning to water from that non-existent global warming. They use all their winter fat reserves swimming around trying to find prey to eat. Of course we are crazy because look at how cold the...

    This is what I have BEEN saying!!!!!

    There's advantages to it. The Northwest passage is open now. Look at all the time and money not to mention the lives they lost trying to find it. There's less Polar Bears now. Another 50 years or so and all those overcrowded cities on the coastlines will be flooded. Sometime in the future my...

    Spare the rod......Not a bible quote

    (Do you know what he said when I asked him why he didn't report this to me? He said he felt sorry for the ringleader of the bunch because he didn't really have any parents who cared about him and he lived with an aunt and uncle. ) I'm impressed with his level of empathy. In my book, empathy is...

    What are you reading? *found a new one that sounds like a must!*

    You make it sound pretty good. I see you have a pretty good grip on reality too. I usually read suspense type books. Maybe I'll give your idea a try.

    Spare the rod......Not a bible quote

    I agree. They feel like they need to lie to avoid punishment or shame. Like when they are done potty training and have an accident and you ask them about it. Or they break something and don't want you to know. If you get them to tell the truth and then punish them they feel like it's easier to...

    Spare the rod......Not a bible quote

    Lying is one behavior I haven't figured out how to counter. When they are little it's pretty easy to tell when they are lying and take action. Telling white lies yourself can cause serious problems. Lids are pretty much black and white in their thinking and have a hard time with shades of gray...
