That’s about exactly it, really. I almost *liked* driving in the snow back home some of the time, ‘cause most of the time you didn’t have many other drivers out, and if you slid around a bit, no big deal.
It’s not the same on a three-lane interstate. Eek!
I’ve always interpreted “organic” in the grocery context to mean: “Has Bugs.”
I seek out pesticide-laden food. It has... less bugs. Less bugs is what I like.
I like the fruits and veggies that are big and bright and look like they’re on steroids. Maybe they are.
The “organic” aisle is where all the sickly-lookin’ dried out and dirty, shriveled nasty lookin’ stuff is. Scares me. :-)
Heh. We had someone at thelab buy some “organic” apples to use as a control in a study...it had more guthion on it than our treated samples.
I figure, if preservatives keep food fresh, they’ll keep me fresh too, right?
And that's just the shoppers...
*snort*
What’s guthion?
A pesticide.
Heh...oops.
Probably coulda reported ‘em for that.
And some of the stuff on the shelves looks pretty nasty, too.
[snicker]
so's muh homebrew... and vintage...
Mmmmmmm...homebrew... and vintage...
Izzit white lightnin’ time yet?
Saturday baby!!!...
fargin’ docs said I couldn’t drink while I was undergoin’ “treatment”...
uhhhh... yuh better disable yer eyes first...
Well that bites!
Hmmmm......how do they feel about rum cake?
That's cuz' the 'organic' veggies aren't covered with wax which keeps them from drying out and getting shrively. The fact that the grocery stores leave them sitting out that long just illustrates how unrealistic their expectations are for how long unpreserved veggies should last. I don't buy "organic" per se, but I do buy from local farms that use minimal chemicals. That way I can support local families running small, independent farms and net some yummie, fresh produce. I especially enjoy the U-Pick farms and the roadside stands. This is probably the only good thing about living in MD... it's close to PA. ;)
Yeouch.
Hey - two beautiful things about the NewJob. 1) I can hear the Ordnance school students doing Jody calls as they march to class every morning. And 2), I rattled the cages of the lulus at the OldJob, so much so that they crammed about 20 people in a conference room for a panic session on how to answer a request I sent. They're working overtime tonite. Am I a bad person for thinking that's delicious??
Agreed. ;~) It's like the tagline I saw on the horse forum... "Red meat is not bad for you - Fuzzy green meat is bad for you"
