I want to walk first thing in the morning but have to wait until almost 7:30am for it to be reasonably light. Yep, I don’t want to wander upon a gator or a snake! Oh, hell NO!
Yes, approximately a year+ ago, it was the “mom and pop” restaurants that added 3% to your check if you used your credit card but this year……. I was gobsmacked when I was charged 3% convenience fee at both the Buick and Cadillac dealership when I used my credit card for service related work. Like the average person (me) always carries $500 cash money with them at all times! And both dealerships, which are not related, are part of multi dealership “franchises”.
Effective November 15, my insurance company is charging the 3% fee. I lucked out because my auto and home owners renewal effective date is November 1, woo hoo! I’m a bit skeptical about giving any company my checking account and routing numbers or allowing the same to store my debit card numbers on file.
In the past, I’ve charged almost everything and when it’s time to pay, I transfer funds from my checking account to my credit card account. Easy, breezy!
There are plenty of people who charge, charge, charge and only pay their minimum payment and are being charged 28% interest OR MORE. They are in debt up to their eyeballs and the 3% “convenience fee” is going to hurt even more.
We had these damn (yes, damn) balance beams, as well as uneven parallel bars, pommel horse back when I was in high school. I never aspired to be a Simone Biles or whoever so this equipment was totally unnecessary in my world.
Look at this toddler, she doesn’t appear to be more than 3 years old, no fricken’ fear!

Here's another point to ponder, why is that even a feature? How did it come about?
Not that I’m interested in hunting, however I wonder if the hunting schedule is set dates for all states or if the dates are determined by each state? Whatever! Hunting and fishing are not my kinda thing.

There were none around here until about 1980 and the wild life folks brought them in and turned them loose, they multiply like rats on state owned land where hunting is not allowed near by and we are all stuck dealing with them. Then the wild life folks had the bright idea to turn loose coyotes to control the population a few years ago.all they do is multiply and eat peoples cats,dogs, calves and chickens. the deer are still running rampant. oh they are pretty to look at out in a open field grazing, but not pretty when they take out the entire front end of your car and keep running
Willey and his friends are not stupid, why chase fast food when pets and calves are easy targets?
First one was a little doe we hit in the middle of the road one night north of Salmon, Idaho back in 2004. I was driving and it’s been the only deer I have managed to hit. I caught a glimpse of her dancing around in panic in the headlights of an oncoming jacked-up pickup. The truck was bigger, so she decided to go my way. Took out the left front fender. She didn’t make it.
The second one was a three-point buck my wife took out one night on the way home after Boy Scouts in 2011. Crunched the whole front grille up pretty good. He didn’t make it, either.
In case you’re wondering, these were mule deer, so I’m using Western count to describe the buck. He had three points on each side.
I live in Alberta and the third largest city after Edmonton
and Calgary is Red Deer.
I walk a lot in the early morning and I often see Deer.
They're not afraid of me and I always talk to them.
They are beautiful animals and it is their land too.
I jumped into the fridged water to save a fawn that had fallen into the spill way and it couldn’t get back up over the wall while the mother stood helplessly watching her baby struggling to keep its head above water and as far as coyotes they are not native to Pennsylvania the insurance companies release them to kill off the deer 🦌 so when ever i see a coyote I shoot them
A hundred years ago my grandmother used to sprinkle her watermelon with salt because she said it made the melon sweeter. I see people do it in today’s world but it makes no sense to me why anyone would ruin something as delicious as watermelon with salt! Ain’t no way!
There was a time that I took medication for high blood pressure but since I no longer work and 90% no longer use salt, my blood pressure is normal (to low). My go to seasoning is pepper. I haven’t tried pepper on cantaloupe or any fruit for that matter however, I heavily pepper just about everything else!

Markis used to let me do that too him
And Cody is probably right he’s in the bathroom cleaning his glasses
This YouTube content provider, TheThaneRivers, has nearly 40k followers. From what I can determine, the extent of his content is; he is always shirtless, his pants are low, low, low on his hips, he stretches his well chiseled physique, grunts a bit, twists/cracks his neck then speaks. If he enters from the left he’s bidding women a good night and if he enters from the right, he’s holding a mug of some sort, bidding women a good morning.
All I can think of is the title and line in Timbuk 3’s song, MONEY FOR NOTHIN’…..

2 we all know with out a shadow of a doubt what bathrooms we should use
3 no litter boxes in any bathrooms furbies and animals and can go outside
4 we are no longer killing unborn babies
5 prices are coming down
6 many conflicts have been resolved and or stopped completely
If only the democrats would open their eyes and see the positive direction we are heading
7 let’s not forget about our border and how many illegal immigrants have been sent back were they came from
1) True, but, it wasn’t his idea. Biden wanted that too
2) We always knew what bathroom to use, ie, the one with flushing toilets.
Why are you so concerned about what bathroom to use? I would think that
what you have between your legs would give you a clue. Still…..in your case?
3) If you’ve ever owned a cat then you’ve know a litter box is a misnomer. It
should be called a stink box. Either way, is that as important as making
Americans safe?
4) Who killed unborn babies? And what did he contribute to that? If this was so
crucial or necessary, why didn’t the Republican dominated Congress
outlawed abortions throughout the land? BTW, from this point of view, you
don’t have any respect for a woman’s right to choose what is best for her
body and life.
5) I find it so strange that prices are coming down while my budget has to plan
for extra expenses due to what? Everything costing more every week.
6) How many conflicts have, actually, did he get resolved or stopped? List
them.
7). This is true. I wonder how much this will bring down my cost of weekly
groceries, especially since crops are not being picked.
My fuel is costing less, my milk is costing less,
470 dollars for grocerys? How long does that last? Do you cook large meals everyday for how many people?
Direct imports: The US banned the import of Russian crude oil and certain petroleum products in March 2022.
Indirect imports: Refined products made from Russian oil do enter the US market.
How it happens: Other countries, like India, purchase Russian crude oil and then process it in their own refineries. These refined products are then exported to the US, bypassing the direct ban on Russian oil.
Impact: This indirect trade allows Russian oil to enter the US market and has been a source of controversy.
Cody, those imports from an intermediate country would have and probably are subject to tariffs. Bur, they would have been anyway, so, again, why would tariffs have anything to do with Russia NOT being able to sell us petroleum?

You can always tell who has your back and who is ready to stab it.
The Gaza Strip conflict is all most over JD Vance is over there now sealing up the deal now
And if they are smart we could end the war between Russia and Ukraine they are both weak we should attack both of them kill them all and keep there minerals and oil for our selves i do believe general Patton wanted to do this very same thing at the end of WW2
The dems want to waste money on illegals so bad they are willing to starve the American people.some that even voted for them. Vindictive and foolish for sure.
Straight from the White House. Not a media source.
Phart, get real. My sources are INDEPENDENT sources. Not Republican. Not Democrat.
2) Good for you. Now you will have people looking like butch guys into the women's bathroom and people looking like women in the men's bathroom. Why do you want this?
3) That never happened anyway.
4) Yes you will, it will just happen in shady rooms, where the woman might die as well.
5) No you stupid ass, most prices of goods are up, by a lot.
6) Israel is just waiting until they can start the genocide again. I see no willingness from them to stop. Ukraine is still going on. He has achieved nothing in relation to Iran. he is escalating against Yemen, he is talking about going back to Afghanistan, he is killing citizens of several South-American countries in open waters, without permission of their governments (imagine Cuba blowing up a boat full of Americans), he is allowing Israel to attack Lebanon and Syria.
7) He did promise to deport illegal immigrants, which is a legitimate cause. He is however breaking the law in many ways, ignoring judges, disappearing many documented immigrants and sicking a violent military force on American citizens, who get beaten up or have their property destroyed without good cause. They are doing raids of whole city blocks, violently arresting everyone, including citizens and zip-cuffing naked children. They are arresting people who's only crime is being non-white. But, your not safe if you're white either. They arrest white foreigners visiting the country for political reasons. They recently detained a white cop for allegedly being illegal. To everyone except MAGA, it was clear Trump would do that, and no one except MAGA is thinking it's acceptable.
Yeah, the Clown really has his sh.t together. Man, what a guy.....🤣🤣🤣😈
I bet that you were that kid asked "why" over and over. I wouldn't doubt that you only read the headlines just so can act and say that you are informed.
Well, let me throw it back at you. I think you are acting dumb. Next time, how about putting a little effort into your response? Nothing much, just a fact or two about the real meat of the discussion.
Oh sorry I get it

China does, so they are making lots of deals with other countries to get deals
on their natural resources. Now you have to buy them from China, if they feel
the desire to sell them to you. Do you think that's smart strategy?
The funny thing is that you think you are providing reasons for your ideas on trans people in the military. You're not, it's just a gut feeling that they are icky. You had some point with trans-women in female sports. How does this idea, of an unfair advantage, apply to trans people fighting for your country?
I would just tell trans people to not fight for your country. A country that actively persecutes you doesn't deserve your duty. Join the protests instead.

1/4 cup butter
1 clove garlic, crushed, finely grated, or pressed (optional)
1 cup heavy cream
1 Ѕ cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper, to taste
Pinch of nutmeg (optional)
1. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium low heat. If you’re flavoring the sauce with garlic, add it to the melted butter and cook for about 1 minute. Do not let it brown. That’s just not right!
2. Whisk in the cream and simmer gently for 5 minutes to cook out some of the water from the cream.
3. Remove the pan from heat and add cheese a handful at a time, whisking after each addition until the cheese is melted. I tend to add a bit more, because it makes the sauce a little thicker, plus, it’s cheese! I say, the more cheese, the better! It’s CHEESE, Gromit!
4. Return the pan to the heat and let the sauce simmer gently for 4 to 5 minutes more until the sauce is thickened. Do not let it boil, or else it will separate and lose its smooth texture, and who wants separated nasty ol’ failure Alfredo sauce? I know I don’t!
5. Season with salt and pepper and add a pinch of nutmeg, because, DAMN! It makes the sauce taste like heaven, but only if you want to add it, because I’m not the boss of you!
6. Put it on something! EAT IT! You know you want to!
(I make a chicken, black olive, mozzarella, provolone, and artichoke hearts pizza with my sauce, with lots of CHEESE on it! CHEESE, GROMIT! CHEESE! It’s a helluva lot better than anything you can have delivered, that’s for sure!)
GROMMIT? I know what a grommet is but I definitely am confused by grommit. Gimme some help, please.
3/4 cup warm water
1 tsp active dry yeast (I use a packet of Fleischmann’s Rapid Rise)
2-2 Ѕ cups 00 flour (specialty pasta and pizza flour)
2 tsp salt
Combine water and yeast in a large bowl (I usually warm my water up in a measuring cup in the nuker for about 20 seconds and then whisk in the yeast, but I’m not the boss of you, so do it your way).
Add 2 cups flour and the salt, then mix until a shaggy dough forms (my sister-in-law gave me a Kitchenaide upright mixer she wasn’t using, so I use that).
Pull it out and knead it until smooth, elastic, and slightly tacky, about 5 minutes. If dough is too sticky, knead in more flour 1 tbsp at a time (up to Ѕ cup of flour).
Place dough in an oiled bowl and turn to coat.
Cover and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour (my oven has a bread proofing function, so I use that). Dough can be used immediately or refrigerated up to three days.
While dough rises, preheat oven to 500єF, unless your oven has a bread proofing function. In that case, wait until the dough has risen and then take it out of the oven before you fire up the flames of hell!
Grease or oil (I use real butter for a pretty browned crust) a large pizza pan, or two 10-inch pizza pans, if you want. Mine is, like, 16 inches, so I make one big ass pizza. If you have just a 10 inch (there’s a dirty joke in there somewhere), split the dough in two and go from there.
Place dough in the middle of the pan and flatten it out to a disc. Working from the center, gently press and stretch the dough to 1/4" thick.
Top with your favorite sauce and toppings. I love tomato sauce, provolone, mozzarella, pepperoni, black olives, and mushrooms on mine. I make my own sauce from an 8 ounce can of tomato sauce, garlic salt, and Italian seasonings and let it sit while the dough rises. No measurements. Just put stuff into it until you like how it tastes.
You’re supposed to bake it for 8-10 minutes, but I’ve found my oven takes longer, so after 8-10 minutes, check on it and see if the crust and the cheese is starting to brown a little.
When done, pull that bad boy out of the fire box and let it cool for 5 minutes. Then, enjoy the fuck out of it!
Do you bake bread? I enjoy watching YouTube and always looking for interesting content; mainly easy BUT delicious meals and/or soups, easy bread (preferably no knead), funny things, etc…. Last year I made bread that looked good but apparently it was too easy that it lacked taste and everything else. If you have a bread recipe that might work (for me), please post. I love the crusty type bread and have a Dutch oven.
The flour I use is Bob’s Red Mill 00 flour. A couple of places around here carry it.
I’ll post the Alfredo recipe sometime.

Of course, I am a little proud when I watch this video,
but I'm happy it isn't just a puff piece, and it is discussing problems too.
There is one issue they are NOT raising. It's the cost versus the benefit.
Watch the video and pick up on how much this is costing my country.
This is what they say about the value of the goods it creates: $140 Billion.
Now compare that with our GDP of that same year: $1,228 Billion.
Then decide if it's good economics to keep doing this, at this scale.

I don't watch the super bowel but if i did and something like bad bunny came up on the screen, i would just shut it off.

poor thing, i almost feel sorry for you.
You actually believe iran returned the money?
can't use for war, do you honestly think they are so stupid they can't launder money and then use it for war?????
Ok so they can't hand a terrorist 40 million dollars 1 day. But they can supply the terrorist with 300 nissan trucks to mount machine guns to. and claim they are to haul food. DUH. think cat, think.
I know the money can be laundered, but, the money was NOT taxpayer money.
it's a joke!

Truth is sadly, my family is shrinking fast. there is only 6 of us at the table at thanksgiving and there used to be about 14. there is some family that choose to be assholes and not associate with the rest and that's fine. on both sides of my family. My dad told me, sure, i have some family from sc, but have you met any of them? Nope, remember that when i die and a bunch of jack ass's come up here wanting shit.

Lake Moeris Quary road Completion Date 2500-2100 B.C.
Stuff was simple but functional back then , they can't keep a road in good shape for 10 years now adays., bridges are far more complicated than the link Bella shared but they fall every day. So is it progress?
I am NOT well traveled however I would tend to say that Michigan’s roadways are the pits!

Most cars have their fresh air ducts low in the grill so if you went in to deep the motor sucks in water locking it tight so prepare to need another engine put in
We have issues with this every time it floods around here.
I know 1 ol gal was cheating on her husband, drove her Pontiac grand safari off into the water over the road, as it floated, a couple guys from the fire dept tried to grab her,
"oh husband will kill me for ruining the car anyway," she sunk and died, Apparently she was half right, the husband was pissed about the car,and although it went down 10 feet ,full submerged, the family retrieved it and drove it to the funeral 5 days later, and drove it another 10 years!!
