I just want to beat Chopper and be the first post.
Be well!
Good Morning VA Rancher,
How goes the new job?
Morning Chief,
Does not start until 9/1 officially (my first day at the office is 9/4). But I'm loving it!
I gave notice yesterday, and I also got a rental application for one of my houses that has been empty since 7/1.
My sister in law got a job offer the same day I did, and my mother in law got a new job offer 1 week earlier.
Now if I could only get my little brother a better job in Oregon (he was a small town cop, went to A-Stan got IED and not hurt but is recovering from PTSD and needs ebtter gig) MY PERSONAL econimic world would be AWESOME.
Be well!
Well, good luck with all.
Way to go, friend, I wish you well.
Heh, heh… Who you think you're foolin' Bubba?
You're just higher'n a kite over that new gig.
BTW, congrats!
Don't forget the lessons of frugality you learned in the recent past.
They will serve you well. A country boy can survive… can't he?
Happy Trails!
Ma'am,
We ALL, especially the pols in DC need to learn and retain lessons in frugality!
100% agreement!
I am pretty darned happy though!
Be well!
I've been sleeping in lately……………working too much.

"2002 – In Pakistan, President General Pervez Musharraf unilaterally amended the Pakistani constitution. He extended his term in office and granted himself powers that included the right to dissolve parliament. "
Hmmm….
anytime now………..he knows his days are numbered.
He has about two months left to do so.
I might write a little something up for me and MY powers…I'll go countywide, I think.
Don't give him any ideas.
1997 Hudson Foods Inc closed a plant in Nebraska after it had recalled 25 million pounds of ground beef that was potentially contaminated with E. coli 1557:H7. It was the largest food recall in history.
Just yesterday I heard an update on research and development being done to prevent such contamination. After 15 years much has been learned. Investigation has shown that the contamination originates with E. coli bearing feces from the animals own intestinal tract. I'm no expert, but it seems to me the answer may lie in having the animals gut mostly empty at slaughter. Since animals are bought and sold on weight, feeders and ranchers have always tended to over feed before sale for slaughter.
The latest innovation is a vaccination a few weeks before slaughter. I'm not too sure we need more antibiotics in our food chain. I believe I read last year, slaughter plants have been using some cleaning and disinfecting methods after gutting and skinning, as well. Is that TMI?;-D
Good morning Chopper,
The 1923 entry is interesting. I sure would like to hear the story behind that one.
early form of birth control perhaps?….heh!
Heads up People!
EPA is taking comments on the Renewable Fuel Standard. For those of you who don't know, this pertains to the Ethanol mandate, which requires that 10% ethanol be added to gasoline refined in the U.S.
After reading the article at http://www.farmfutures.com/story.aspx/epa-issues-... it seems that the way to go about this is to contact our Governor's office to request they speak up on our behalf. Now is the time to get active on this issue, or forever hold our peace. We won't have another opportunity like this for years. Our input can make a difference here. Even if this administration doesn't listen, Romney/Ryan and the new congress will notice the noise we make, and might move on the issue in 2013.
Yes, I read the conversation… your point is…?

I hope one of his first orders of business is to OK the northern portion of the Keystone XL pipeline. JOBS!!!
We have attracted a troll patrol–the hit and run kind that thumbs down and runs away. Hmmm. That's no fun. They should stay and play.
That's what cowards do. They run away. Their fear overwhelms them …
Dumb computer question time. I just got a new CPU and windows7. With my old one when I posted a comment, any replies went to my email box so I'd know someone had replied. Now when they reply it no longer goes to my email so I have to keep checking threads to see if anyone's posted a reply. I know it' has got to be my settings but when I tried to go to my Disqus account it doesn't give me the option to have replies forwarded.
Any suggestions? LOL….I'll check back later. Thanx…
It is under the account link on the left, not on top of your Intense Debate page. There is an option there regarding email notifications.
Thanks guys! I hate….HATE new computers. So much "tweaking" to get it the way you want it…akkkk!
Go to your Dashboard.
Under Edit Profile click on Account
There are two check boxes at the bottom of page. Make sure they are checked.

Todd Akin just told Mike Huckabee (on his radio show) that he is NOT pulling out of the race. Is there any doubt now that he was and is a Democrat plant. That dumb-ass Claire McCaskill will remain in the Senate..
I just thought of a dirty joke but since you are such a fine lady…I'll keep it to myself. (it's about social conservatives)
This Akin clown has got to go. Does Huckabee sound like he feels sorry for backing this fool? I am tempted to write the good Governor a letter and tell him to keep his support to himself next time. Also, the new media is all over Akin's democrat money…
I don't listen to Huckabee's radio program. I had Megan Kelly on the tube when she "alerted" it. He has until 5pm (filing deadline) to see the light.
Is the joke funny? That's all it needs to be in my world. Don't care if it's dirty, clean, nerdy, whatever………just has to be funny. Let 'er rip!
Ok…I warned you.
Of course Akin will stay in the race. Social conservatives are against pulling out. (I told you it was bad!)
That was a "groaner"…………but I laughed anyway. : DDDD
Yep, I know but if I didn't laugh…I'd be crying.
If I didn't laugh, I'd be shooting.
