I am looking forward to recovery. Shame on me for taking up the mats and not getting them back down sooner, and allowing my tootsies freedom from shoes for a few trips to the bathroom. Meanwhile, I am making sure to keep up on the work that I have completed, so things don't backslide.
Electric bills are up significantly here(43% increase even with reduced use-age). Guess it's probably related to the war on coal. We get lots of electricity from coal in Missouri.
The politicians and greenies really amaze me sometimes. It seems that we have decided that chicken processed in China would be ok to do. They plan to ship the dead birds to China for processing, and they will ship them back as Chicken nuggets etc.
Aside from the fact that China has a total lack of good quality control when it comes to processing food, toothpaste etc, how much sense does it make to use all that fossil fuel to pilot the boats to and from China?
Chicken processing is not a glamorous job, but at least it's a job. Something very wrong with this picture on so many levels. They don't plan on labeling either.
I'll probably be reserving my chicken for the year from some local producers and make my own McNuggets for the kids.
Or raise your own chickens. Ick, to each his own. I don’t understand the popularity of raising backyard chickens but the direction our food supply is going, I may have to reconsider. It’s going to take a lot of reconsidering since I haven’t recovered from raising 100+ of them back in high school. The Rhode Island Reds and Plymouth Rocks had good dispositions but those evil White Leghorns would dive bomb anyone who went into the coop and they’d fight each other. Mean things. Glad to see them off to the grill.
The kittens have their eyes open this morning. Mama hasn’t moved them into the larger box. Something is going to have to give since the little fur balls are nearly half her size already. She was grumpy and didn’t want me around but still was eager for breakfast. LOL, the bouncy slobber bucket insisted on making a quick trip into town with me yesterday and walked right by their box to get into the car but was clueless and never looked over there. Got back home and went straight into the house still clueless. Some watch dog, not!
Off to handwater the side beds and turn on the sprinklers. Need to pick some beans to go with pork chops tonight, yum.
