Whatever: The Open Lines Thread

You just made my day.

Wonderful.

Amen.

I know A&W was also trying it but I believe that too was a dud. The push to remove protein from western diets is very apparent. Although it did work for Jim Jones.

THANKS FOR THE KOOL-AID, JIM

Ya know- plants have PROTIEN! How do you think your cow, chicken, or pig made it? Ummmm....consuming PLANTS!

Exiting now before everyone dog piles me.

I've done similar things in my early twenties when I was hammered.  Sometimes I was too lazy and just ate a can of kidney beans and drank some ranch dressing.  I think back and wonder..."Why?" 

Because you’d spent all of your money for the week on beer, and those were the only things around to eat.  Common problem.

I'll back you up, Dot. Here, take this. These days I always carry an extra Lightsaber of Rightousness in my purse

Well, not really.  Fortunately I've always had food on hand where I could make meals.  Let me replace 'too lazy' to 'I could not operate a stove in the condition I was in.'  Nor did I want to risk it.  I knew of stories where people pass out and the house catches on fire.  I didn't have a microwave either at the time.  Operating a can opener, using a spoon, and the ability to open the fridge or cupboard was the limit for me during those few instances.

So you're a looter, vandal, and arsonist in the cause of equality?

Why does your Lightsaber require batteries and glow in the dark?  @TigerLily  ..and I've never heard of them coming in latex before

From seed, national grower or local grower?

Unfortunately, I'm close enough to a lagoon and the ocean that everything I grow seems to have a fungus or insect problem.  As commercial agriculture in my area disappears, it seems to be getting worse.

Meh...

PS I've been trying a pet-safe dusting powder this year that seems like it's safe, but I still don't like treatments.

On a rainy summer day like today you have to take the opportunity to use the oven. Farro stuffed peppers for lunch. Yumm!!!

Sean have you tried companion planting? Won’t help with fungus but you can often mitigate the bug problem with that strategy.
