My dad told me his family ate them often when he was growing up and they were good. I asked his dad about it and grandpa confirmed. Now for a little context, dad was one of six kids growing up poor in the 30's and 40's. If they didn't grow it, raise it, or kill it they didn't eat....
Not a new thing. 45 years ago I worked the summers with the highway department. That particular summer I was assigned to work with the full time guy that took care of roadside rests. I was the trash and mower guy and he took care of the restrooms. When he took time off, I had to pick up his duties a...

I've seen a two headed snake. It's been close to 55 years but a kid I knew had one he found near his house. One of the strangest things I ever saw....
I was involved in a labor dispute back in the early '90s where one side routinely used a variation of these. Absolutely horrible things....
Aced a par 3 the first time my wife golfed with me. She wasn't impressed....
My wife was given up for adoption at birth. In her late 40's she was tracked down by her birthday mother and learned she had a bunch of half siblings out there. She cut them off and as far as I can tell she never had a second thought. Now my best friend was tracked down by a half sister he neve...
Sugar Daddy - When I was a kid it came with a long narrow picture of an animal with background information on the back side. For me that was the best part. When they stopped including it, I stopped buying it....
My wife is 65 and has been diagnosed with subcortial dementia. She is adopted so we have no idea of her family background. She is aware of the diagnosis. She's lost almost all independence and cries a lot. She's still safe around the house but I can't take her somewhere and then leave her alone....

re: Retired folks, how long did you work

Posted by Kmit58 on 10/4/23 at 7:57 pm
I've worked all my life but retired after 37 years at one company. Officially I was the senior supply chain guy (not the boss) and pretty much did what I wanted the last 5 years. Moved my office back into the mill away from all the bs and politics and helped people that needed help. I retired on p...

re: Pressure Canning Meat

Posted by Kmit58 on 8/27/23 at 3:42 pm
My wife has canned every deer I've brought home. She won't eat it otherwise. I cut up into cubes, she seasons and browns it, stuffs it into quart jars, adds a bullion cube, water, and not sure what else. Puts it into pressure canner and when it comes out it's ready to eat. Fork tender, eat it co...
I don't know you guys are doing it. I griped because our property taxes went up to $2500 a year and that's on just under 100 acres and a roughly 1500 sq ft house. I've been calling the county officials (all repubs) a bunch of Bidenites as the tax increase (100% due to raising property values) wa...
My local bank (Ohio) just updated their on-line banking software. To continue to use the bill pay function I had to agree to the terms of service, you know, the pages of stuff we hurry through to click 'I accept" at the bottom. This time I decided to read through it and look what I found in sectio...
Yep. Love of my life. Often wonder how I'd react if I ever ran into her....
Ohio University I recognize they're mentioned in jest but I would absolutely love it as I'm only 25 minutes away but they will NEVER be a fit for the SEC. Facilities, culture, politics ...... nothing says SEC. Beautiful campus though and Athens is an interesting place. ...

Now that Father's Day is over, I reached out to one of the family. If I don't get a reply or phone call in a couple of days, I'll try a different one. I'll also attempt the pics sometime this week. Benny's got them posted on a metal detecting Facebook group....
Happenstance. This is my buddy Benny though. Both the luckiest and unluckiest person alive. About 40 years ago he was literally ran over head to toe by a road roller. I think it broke every bone in his body. While on leave, was shot twice in the arm when deer hunting. Blind in one eye, deaf in ...
You guys are amazing! That's why I adopted you as my southern family....
