Slow but steady. This go around wasn’t near as bad as the first time. Felt horrible for about three or four days and now starting to improve. Thanks for asking💖💖💖
Has anymore been reported about Mayor Giuliani?
It’s the computer, for reals
If only every kid could grow up on a ranch or a farm.
That was beautiful, thank you for posting that link. Never heard it before. It seemed both delicate and...well...meaningful at the same time.
I am always a fan of a great bass section of Tubas and Trombones for the powerful aspect, but...this was quite different and enjoyable.
There was something absolutely simple about it that made the rendition attractive.
Thank you for the September thread with the beautiful Trump pictures.
Declaring on behalf of Rudy:
For those who are kind to the poor! The Lord will rescue him when he is in trouble, protect him and keep him alive, give him prosperity in the land, rescue him from his enemies, nurse him when he is sick, and restore him to health. ~ Psalm 41:1-3
I don’t think I have to worry about a hurricane reaching all the way up here.
But I’ll take some rain.
Why does Fake News ABC’S This Week With George Slopadopolus have Low IQ “commentator” Donna Brazile on the show? Wasn’t she totally discredited when she gave Crooked Hillary Clinton the questions to a Debate??? Wasn’t she FIRED by Fake News CNN for so doing??? Why would ABC “News” hire such a dumb retread? Check out her disastrous interview with Megyn Kelly from years ago - A total Classic!!! Donna is dumb as a rock, and a liar besides. She, and Sloppy Chris Christie, should be fired from a highly discredited ABC Fake News. They just paid me $16,000,000 for “inaccurate” reporting, now they should pay me more!!! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DJT
Prices are “WAY DOWN” in the USA, with virtually no inflation. With the exception of ridiculous, corrupt politician approved “Windmills,” which are killing every State and Country that uses them, Energy prices are falling,“big time.” Gasoline is at many year lows. All of this despite magnificent Tariffs, which are bringing in Trillions of Dollars from Countries that took total advantage of us, for decades, and are making America STRONG and RESPECTED AGAIN!!!
CRIME IS TOTALLY OUT OF CONTROL IN CHICAGO. 6 DEAD, 24 BADLY WOUNDED, LAST WEEK ALONE!!!
>>>Hi, pollywog. Hope you’re doing better.
Here are brand new POTUS Truths.
I haven’t seen anything since the statement that was put out about Rudy.
You have caught the dj curse of double posts.
💕Yes, pollywog, I have my❤set on JD for 2028 and am counting on him keeping the demonrats out of our White House.
More than 15 Trillion Dollars will be invested in the USA, a RECORD. Much of this investment is because of Tariffs. If a Radical Left Court is allowed to terminate these Tariffs, almost all of this investment, and much more, will be immediately cancelled! In many ways, we would become a Third World Nation, with no hope of GREATNESS again. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE!!! President DJT
EXTREMELY URGENT POTUS TRUTH
SCOTUS MUST TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION
ENOUGH LEFTIST JUDICIAL TREASON
You are so welcome, Freee-dame.
AMEN!
A few years back, my wife and I stayed at a Bed And Breakfast in Vermont that was also a working dairy farm. I am guessing they had maybe 200 cows. My wife and I are not farmers or ranchers, but we both recognize that farm life is a completely different environment from the environments we live and work in. We both have a mix of curiosity and healthy respect for farmers.
The concept of a working farm that is also a B&B is, I am sure, not a new one. But it was to us.
This particular farm is on a flat plain between sets of green mountains, the kind Vermont is known for. In the last major floods up there, they used helicopters to rescue the cows and safely reposition them, and it was pretty clearly the kind of place you could visualize flooding.
The farm is run by the parents who have lived there for decades, and their son and his family. It was a charming arrangement, they were very congenial to guests like us, but they ran their farm like the professionals they were. They had young, hired hands working the milk cows for them, and they appeared to be American teenagers out of high school.
There were two other families with many children staying there, and dinners were very rich, stocky, and heavy farm food, prepared for family style serving with all the adults and a few of the older kids sitting around the large, long dinner table. I think it would have easily sat 16 adults. The younger kids had a table of their own, and the arrangement worked out well.
The food was well prepared by the farmer’s wife, and even though it was heavy for me, I very much enjoyed it. We had wonderful and interesting table conversations, but nothing controversial, as I recall.
If you wanted to help in the daily chores of milking the cows, you were welcome to help and they would give you a job and show you how to do it. If you didn’t want to help, you could read a book or do whatever you pleased. There was no Internet or cable, and they did manage to get an NFL game on the television that Sunday.
I found the pace of life on this dairy farm to be so diametrically opposed to my own workflow and life, that it fascinated me. So when I read your post that said “If only every kid could grow up on a ranch or a farm” it really resonated with me. I recall just sitting on the front porch of the house, watching the day unfold. I made sure I got up early enough to catch a portion of the “early” tasks that dairy farming is famous for, and watched all through the day until dinner.
To people like us who are unused to being around livestock, that aspect completely aroused my curiosity and interest. The whole thing, from birth, to fulfilling their reason for being, to death, was all right there in the open. While I was at that farm, they had several calves birthed, and they would stick the calf in the front of a front loader with one of the employees, and take it up to the row of calf pens.
It was odd to me, but it all seemed quite businesslike.
Later in the day, as I sat on the porch watching, one of the employees went to clean the pens, looked in, and waved to the farmer who was perhaps 100 yards away, and when she got his attention, she drew her finger across her throat.
They just got the front loader, put the calf in it, and took it down to a ditch they dug and buried it. That was it. Very businesslike.
But they did not have to use any force at all that I saw the entire time they were there. They pretty much just indicated to the cows where they wanted them to go (and they generally placidly went that way) and when they were done, steered them somewhere else.
At some point, a number of the cows broke out and went up to the pens that had the calves. Just wanted to see their calves, I suppose. The farm hands just walked up to the cows, and led them all back to the cow shed, where they obediently ambled. To me, they seemed like eminently contented cows, quite happy, and the staff seemed very unstressed.
Even when a couple of pigs got out, the farmer just matter of factly got them back into their pen.
The whole workflow seemed extremely structured, predictable and a bit quiet and sedate. 4 AM to 10 AM, milking #1. 4 PM to 10 PM, milking #2. All kinds of steady work and cleaning in between.
Very different pace of work. It didn’t appear to be back breaking work, but it was 100% steady and paced, and that very much appealed to me. Just to be clear-it wasn’t that the work wasn’t hard or demanding, but it wasn’t like watching a bunch of guys roofing a house on a hot day.
I talked to one of the hired hands, a young man in his late teens or early twenties, and he said he loved the work. I asked him if he grew up on a dairy farm, and he said no, but his sister dated one of the farmer’s sons, and they asked him once if he wanted some work, and...now that is his livelihood. This was a few years back, but I recall this good looking, healthy, hard working, and earnest young man was either dating or engaged to one of the family members.
After watching this farm proceed through a standard day (no crisis there) I think I could understand how someone could just love that work. I am retired now, but back then, my work was hair on fire work. I didn’t see a lot of things to make your hair catch on fire there. (but...it WAS only one day and I was not exposed at all to the government paperwork, the animal sicknesses that needed treating, the continual quality testing to ensure you have good milk, the need to work every day, or any of that kind of fun stuff...:)
It seemed to me that, on a farm, there are a lot of life-lessons that can be learned about life, death, punctuality, hard work, failure, reward, and the general patterns of nature that every single kid would profit from experiencing it. Would that we were all so lucky growing up, to have lived on a farm.
