➡I accidentally bought Balut eggs: 2 live ducks! Now a Chat Thread!

[The Farmers' Daughter]

I just downloaded some podcasts. Short ones for the 20 min commute to work. A series called "Stuff to Blow Your Mind".
One I listen to a lot is "Canadian True Crime".

really!?

And I’ll have to look it up. I thought he was the real life basis for Dracula.



That stuff is pretty interesting too!

What I find really interesting though is how the Roman civilization was so advanced.... I mean, they had bathhouses and running water/aqueducts, sewage systems, some really advanced stuff for the time... and the huge Colosseum and infrastructure which could not have been easy to build and it all just.... collapsed. Went dark. Went into the Dark Ages. It just amazes me that’s possible.



you listened to the whole thing!?

I think Egyptians were quite advanced as well. If I could live in any time period, it would've been when the Egyptians were around. I probably would've been a slave working on the pyramids though

Everyone ready for Wednesday?
I've got 2 boxes to wrap. I'll have to wait until tomorrow night to do those. They're currently out in the quonset & it's too cold to wrap out there. I can't bring them in now because they'd take up the whole living room (mitre saw & stand).

I don't like this topic but I will finish it because I can't not finish what I start.

don’t force yourself to listen to it if you hate it!! lol

I think I might start listening to some crime ones haha

I started a new book last night. Never heard of the author before... It's Colleen Hoover, Regretting You. So far it's good. It was on the suggested for you list on Kindle unlimited. I'm doing lots of reading because everyone is napping and the kids are all playing.

It's not that I hate it...it's just not something I would have picked myself.

It's weird.
