Hmmm those are all excellent points but I don’t know.... I just think if I made them pets and let them sit in my lap and got all attached and stuff then it would be way harder for me. I think it’d be a lot easier for me to just distance myself and not make pets of them. Not mistreat them or anything, I would still take proper care of them and everything and give them a good life, but I just don’t think I could make pets of an animal I intended to kill. Maybe some people can but I don’t think I could. That’s what the laying flock is for. I make pets of them, name them all, talk to them all, and they’ll all stay until the end of their lives, but I don’t think I could make pets of my food. Prefer to distance myself from those ones. Idk. Just me. If I knew how sweet and kind and nice they were, then I couldn’t take their lives. I’d probably feel guilty or like they deserved to live or something. Or like I was killing my dog haha idk maybe that’s too far. But I just mean if I let myself get attached like that I never could I don’t think. And btw, I’m not saying it’s bad that you do any of that, I genuinely think it’s great that you can do that, and I actually wish I could hug them and spoil them and give them affection like that, and make them really super happy, but I just don’t think I could. At least for me personally. Maybe that is wrong or weak or something but idk. I cried when I my rabbit died due to my own stupid mistakes and when my favorite hen got killed by a hawk so I think if I purposely killed a pet I would never get over it. Heck, I’ve cried when FISH have died.

I don't think it's wrong. What you do is really up to you to decide. <<shrugs>>

Oh wow that is awesome!! Those look so cool. Tbh most of these I cheated and bought from a local store. I started a ton from seen but then I planted them soooo late I wanted some peppers earlier and bought some big huge plants haha still planted all the ones I started though. The Sweet Chocolates I started from seed. I have 2 in pots. The rest in ground. This is the most peppers I’ve had! Haha usually I only have two or three and only bell peppers. But then it’s also the most veggies I’ve hadn’t too. Usually I just have tomatoes and peppers but this year I have those (tons. Seriously so many tomatoes yet again lol always make that mistake) as well as multiple cucumbers, beans, peas, yellow squash, eggplant (we have like 5 eggplants at least), etc. lol we also planted some grapes and blueberries but I don’t think those are going to produce any fruit this year. I bought one eggplant and ignored is already HUGE and one of the squashes is HUGE too. Biggest plants I’ve ever seen LOL

Okay, I need to take you all away from your regularly scheduled programming for a second, because the package I ordered a week or so ago finally arrived and I'm pretty excited. The Chicago Manual of Style... 17th edition!! I had been using a borrowed copy of the 15th as the source for most of my grammatical choices. Apparently it includes some extensive updates to on-line stylistic choices, including the decapitalization of the word "internet" and the removal of the hyphen from the word "email". It looks rather odd to me, but hey, don't question the grammar gods, eh. I'll get used to it.

Lemon drop sounds interesting!

Yeah, I thought so too! I saw it at the store and thought I’d try it haha the jalapeños were already huge so I bought them and then figured I’d try the lemon drop and managed to find one sweet one lol was trying to find big ones since it was so late

What, like I stop reading it long enough to put it on a shelf? It stays on my bedside table. As will this.
