Storm Clouds On The Horizon

Pigs are loaded in trailer, taking them to slaughter this morning. Been working down the meat freezer, cleaning out the vegetable freezer and packing it with produce. Been canning like a starving squirrel. LOL LOL
Steer will be coming in soon. Our friend has kept him in the lot, feeding him until the pigs left. He proposed that we feed 6 CCX to slaughter size, we counter offered with 10 CCX. Darn good trade!

Agreed, Bay. That's the way I am looking at it. And, I pray that I go home soon, very soon. There is nothing holding me here.

Prices have increased dramatically! Tuna I used to get at $3.96 is now $5.98!! Some products change packaging, not price...you get less. Detergents are great at this. I notice a wine I buy has just gone up 20%...yes!! Meat, well we don't even need to go there. It's hard to believe those dollars. Canned veggies, also. All within the past 6-8 months. I see a lot of it when I do resets in the stores.

I mean you have to eat but, so many just cannot afford it. Plus it will continue. This is why you see the increased interest in butchering by those who can raise &/or process own. I expect deer season to be very hunter heavy this year!

Even dried beans have more than doubled in price. Beans! The poor man's best meal. Eat less meat dishes, eat left overs, don't waste any. Cereal is eye popping -- most not even good for you. I eat oatmeal sometimes, about it...occasional cream of wheat.

I buy the low fat ground beef 93% mostly. Bacon, now that buy is one where I save all drippings! Whole lot of flavor for a lot of other foods -- all for the same price! I try to buy some ground pork when I see it...adds to meatloaf, or make sausage. I like the 1# vac sealed ones. Boston butts were $.99 a pound recently, got one cut into 5 thick "steaks", one I froze whole and one I cooked, ate some, gave DD some & made BBQ with rest. I still shop mgr markdowns first.

I almost never buy meat at the store. We bought 4 chuck roasts last month because I wanted beef. We raise chicken, pork and lamb. We have bought a steer to feed until March next year. Not everybody can keep pigs, a steer or sheep. But a lot of people can keep chickens or rabbits. Even small livestock makes a difference.

Be absolutely certain that your LML is complete before the election results are known.
I’m reading things about people who want to contest the election results and are threatening to start civil war if they don’t like the results.
Mr. Podesta is leading that movement along with HRC.

Trim! Long time no post! Glad to see you are still kicking!

I found this, but not entirely sure it's correct?

TMM

TMM is a military term. Essentially it was a term saying to "Take Courage when you're in a severe & dire situation." The term essentially is an acronym for "That Means Mexican". Apparently this was an antiquated acronym from the French army fighting Mexico.

I applaud Britesea for looking it up. She showed the kind of initiative we need now. Others just expect it handed to them. Not sure what to say about that in diplomatic terms. Britesea’s answer was close., but not quite accurate.

The message states essentially

“we’re Being overrun...bring body bags”
It came (I was told) from the battle of the Alamo. “Too many Mexicans”
You of course, remember the immediate results of that event, I assume. It is a very simple message to send. — —— ——
We communicated in CW using three letter bursts. Most of you may know
••• ——— ••• well this one comes after that and essentially means “Good bye!”
You never want to have to send that message. And you certainly wouldn’t want to get it from your own people.

Hopefully this will be the only time in your life to see it.

The site was down for 2 days for me also. YOU ARE FORBIDDEN.
The SS computer guru's fixed it and it is working now, for me at least.

Okay. That explains a lot. thanks so very much for the reply. I was actually pretty concerned.
I’ll return as myself and see what happens.
Thanks again

Yup. I thought I had my hand slapped for something, and was all ready to kiss this forum good by. Too many other important things in this life right now to deal with censure for having my own thoughts and expressing them.

DH does not see the coming food crisis. He is not aware that the price of food has increase so much, he seems to think that I am just buying the more expensive products or something. Granted, I will no longer buy ground beef that is less than 85% lean, and actually have been buying the 95% lean stuff - but why pay for the grease that I will just be draining off anyway.
I need to stock up on paper products ...
