Anyone have luck catching a feral chicken?? UPDATE: Rooster caught, no hen

Yup, feminine products are really good for bullet wounds. But please don't tell the guys that's what the medic using.

My friend’s boys found a box and shot them out of the applicators like rockets. Those were expensive rockets! Haha

My husband loves apple butter on a biscuit. I eat jelly only on a sandwich or toast, and I prefer raspberry preserves. I love my biscuit soaked in butter. My son likes his pork chop dipped in ranch.

Ok folks, I'm going to shift this conversation... We're going to talk about introducing the Granddaughter to Apple Butter. That would be my apple butter. Tonight's dinner was a simple pork chop, fired potatoes, broccoli and biscuit dinner. The little one wasn't so impressed with the fried pork chop. she loved everything else... but what was this hockey puck on her plate? So I added a table spoon or so of apple butter.

I want to eat at your house!

I'm the oldest of 5 kids, 4 of us girls. My brother is 14 months younger than me. My cousin (female, 14 months older than me and one of my best friends) told us a joke one day.

How can you tell if a blonde is having a bad day?
She has a tampon behind her ear and she can't find her pencil.
​

The reaction my brother had to that joke. He nearly threw up. My younger sisters (who had started to use these products) delighted in making him turn green by saying "tampon" or hiding his things in the tampon box. Needless to say, his only defense to having 4 sisters was to become immune to girl talk.

We got her to eat a couple bites of the chop dipped in apple butter, until she abandoned the approach and went directly for the apple butter. Okay, still up for the challenge, I spread it over her biscuit and what does she do, use her fork to pick it off. She eventually finished her pork chop and biscuit, but apple butter is NOT a condiment, its a main course, she'll swear to it. Of course, I'm in a quandary. Need apples as we're down to six pints of apple sauce and almost out of apple juice. I use a steam juicer and a food mill and apples are a two for. I put in my first layer of apples, two cinnamon sticks and a quarter cup of sugar, then three more layers of apples topped with a quarter cup of sugar and the juice of one lemon and let it cook. I bottle the juice and run the remains through a food mill to get apple sauce. And then can it up. Apple butter is apple sauce slow cooked for twelve more hours.

I'm with the kid: apple butter should definitely be a main course option

Edit: Dang it now I am hungry! Where am I gonna find apple butter at this time of night?!

I haven't had apple butter in years! That sounds amazing!

And apple butter
And biscuits...

Done!!!!

Is anyone else being accosted by these dang Japanese beetles right now? AWFUL!!!

I was overrun by those Japanese beetles last year in Iowa. Luckily, my guineas lived to eat them so they didn’t last long!

A co worker of mine had a heavy self closing door slam him in the face. His nose was profusely bleeding. I made him shove a tampon up his nostril to stop the bleeding. He thought I was trying to make fun of his manhood. The ER doctor told him I was absolutely correct & how lucky he was that I knew what to do.

For those who have horses:
They work great for hoof injuries and to keep thrush treatment in horse hooves. They are the perfect size to wedge in the grooves on the sides of the frog of the hoof.
