Oh. Oh I see how it is. You're a dirty prescriptivist! Engard I say! Engard! Language is fluid and beautiful and definitions change over time and that's ok! I shall defend my descriptivist definitions to the death!

Ooh, boy -- call me when you start dueling.

I have heard 'entire' used to mean a stallion or bull, don't remember in what context.
And to be a purist, a stud is the farm where stallions are housed and breeding takes place. i agree that the term is often used referring to a stallion, but it's actually the place where they might reside.
So there!

I think 'entire' is an Aussie expression for that condition. Perhaps a local colloquialism.

Anyone here start to think more self sufficient... or just me

I think most people have, although I will say it's not new for me. I've been homesteading for years now. Honestly I'm mostly limited by space and equipment right now.

We were planning on moving in 2021.... D would get a job and we'd move further out into the country a bit. Then we could keep goats, cows, pigs, etc. I do have to say, I didn't expect a global pandemic to put those plans on hold, but here we are.

We saw some friends who have 2 college age sons, both were COVID tested by their university upon arrival back in the dorm. Both tested "positive" and subsequently kicked out of dorm and told to quarantine.

Sons both felt fine, no symptoms so came home to parents who took them to their docs and retested. Both came back negative for COVID. They have continued to feel fine with no symptoms. Parents plan to retest again in a week or so.

More and more factual stories like this are coming to light. I suggested that they pull their sons out of this university.

The sturgis rally results came back pretty grim.


The study itself the report is based on seems legit. :T

Pull their sons out of a university cause the test initially came back positive (probably just a mistake too) and they’re being smart and don’t want everybody else on campus to get sick or possibly kill someone ?

testing is sketchy--a friend had an app't to be tested a few months ago. Saw the huge line at the testing site and went home. A week later got a notice in the mail the test was positive! Had never been tested!

caution is key in all this.
