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

I used to work a concession at county fairs in Ohio. Our specialty was deep fried pickles. We also did deep fried veggies. I love cauliflower, carrots & sweet potatoes. Just for us we would do up hot dogs in the same batter. I found them much tastier than a corn dog. We would do the same with pop tarts too.

Gross. I am just not into deep fried stuff. It kinda sicks me out. UNLESS, it's a corndog

Deep fried pickles are my absolute favourite!

Oh, yes - fried pickles are good too!!

My parents never let us eat junk food growing up, so I had never had a twinkie until I was 20 something and on a road trip with friends. I bought one in a gas station out of curiosity. Well, my curiosity was satisfied after one bite. I think it might have been stale, but it was not to my taste at all. Bleck.

Same. I also wasn't allowed to have junk food. All these things that the other kids ate, I always thought were nasty when I finally got around to trying them. Always wondered what all the fuss was about! Needless to say, I thank my parents for raising me the way they did. I'm immune to the power of processed sweets!!!

That can happen with any non native species introduced into an environment that doesn't have the predators to control them. But yes they are smart little guys. I do understand the need to eliminate them I just hate those traps for the sake of the animal.

Ask south Americans about the Canadian beaver. They've completely destroyed the ecosystem.

Don't forget the bunnies and Australia.

This particular raccoon was wise to live traps and if a live trap was not staked down, she would stand the trap on end to empty out the bait. She was also too big for a large size live trap.

Ahhh thar makes sense. They're smart. And wow huge raccoon!

I don't know about you but I just go with a vegetarian Mediterranean diet.

That's another excellent option that I've also considered but I do think I am at least going to try the cleanse and/or diet first just to kill off the candida then I can try something else or basically just maintain it with the fermented stuff and/or just occasionally do a cleanse. Idk. I am curious how I will feel after.

Though honestly most diets are all really similar anyway, just high protein, high fiber/lots of veggies, and low or no carbs or sugars so I guess it doesn't really entirely matter which one I do.

I just want to get the candida under control. I have been having a lot of the symptoms. Which of course can be symptoms of other stuff but still.

So. Hungry.

I made some progress on my room... Kind of. If moving stuff from the floor to my bed counts as progress.

 

[The Farmers' Daughter]

That's awesome! I'm so excited for you!!
How long are you expecting the foundation to take?

It should only take a few days to build, but then several weeks for the concrete to cure.

@littleprairieheartsfarm
I usually have to do blitz catching up but I saw enough about Mammoth's rescue by you...so I simply want to say

Thank you for being such a wonderful person and rescuing such a beautiful and wonderful animal!
It makes me sick to my stomach that people abuse such majestic animals (even though I'm actually terrified of horses....but I admire them from afar! ).
Those Clydesdales are my favorite!

I’m so sorry! I just now saw this!

Thank you so so much for your kind words. It really means a lot.
Rescuing isn’t easy business and there are way too many out there who exploit it for all they can, flipping horses who they’ve claimed to have rescued when all they did was grab ones from auctions that were in great shape.

Me too. I almost never eat deep fried stuff. But we were stuck in the trailer from 9am to 2am, so didn't have much choice.
