What an unfortunate thing to happen on free dozen eggs night.

It’s not doctors that need to know. It’s the insurance companies. They wrote the policies that pay doctors based on the BMI metric. Until those policy changes happen nothing will change.

Insurance companies quietly control so much and most people don’t realize it.

Just a reminder that almost everyone is a curry lover. It’s tasty stuff. Using it as an insult shows that one hasn’t thought about what they are saying and is de facto proof that they are an idiot.

I started a Facebook group called New Music Only. Nothing older than a fortnight is allowed. It allows others to share brand new music they haye found and it forced me to go to YouTube and start hunting for recently uploaded music so I can supply material for the group.

When I lived in the Tidewater area I practically made a hobby of going to places with okay food and entertainingly bad service. We were always on a mission to find the worst food. We found it at one of the “Steak Seafood Pasta” places on the Blvd. Everything came from a microwave and the freezer section of some supply company.

Caught, as in the system detected them and they didn’t get in.

This could have used more context. At the time Trump said covid wasn’t a problem. He said it would blow over. Yet he is sending off tests to protect Putin from this non-issue.

Nitpick: From Russia’s point of view Ukraine isn’t a foreign territory, this is a civil war.

Good news everyone!

I’ve been using a vegetable julienne slicer to make my own. Better than a shredder for more consistent sizing. It’s saved me a fortune by using raw potatoes instead of buying the bagged stuff.

What an unfortunate thing to happen on free dozen eggs night.

Geese are legendary for their attack skills. They aren’t bad most of the year but in the spring they will mess you up if you get too close. You can go to YouTube and search for “goose attack.”

Only if they see you

If they’re not tormenting you, they’re not doing their job. That’s their niche. They have one job.

Yes and no. They are much cleaner than ducks and they can be exclusively fed on grass once they are feathered out. This makes them unbelievably awesome in addition to their guard dog ability. In the springtime you get giant goose eggs. Which is a big perk. Since we got our first two geese we have not lost a single chicken or duck to hawks. Which is why we got them. We were losing 1 to 3 a year just to hawks.

The downside is that like all birds they poop everywhere And their poops are more undigested grass than runny stuff. And in the spring when you get those giant eggs the geese can become extremely aggressive. This means separating them from the other birds to prevent injuries and it means learning how to wrestle geese in a safe manner. And it means always being on guard. You will not be safe on your own property.

But for me the benefits far exceed risks. They pay for themselves. They give giant eggs, they stop hawks, they mow the yard, they require no feed.

18 chickens, 7 geese, 6 ducks, 11 cats, 3 fosters, two dogs.

Today I turn on one foster kitten, the rest leave next week. Not sure if they will give me more when I drop off the one today. But if they have something extra spicy I’ll probably get it.

Basically multiple types and the number is fluid. We’ve lost two chickens and two geese this year.

Ducks are the grossest birds. Anything is better than ducks. I have 6 ducks.

I worked in IT for 20 years. I became a handyman and have 7 geese.

It takes just as long to cook, and has the texture of parboiled rice.
