Dumbest Things People Have Said About Your Chickens/Eggs/Meat

I was making a concoction to feed the dogs. I needed coconut oil, local honey, natural peanut butter and dark molasses. The useful kinds of each. Do you know what was the hardest to find? Actual molasses- not stuff made up to look like dark molasses but the real stuff. I went to grocery stores in three towns, wandered aisles, almost got kicked out of the health food store (crossed them off my Christmas list) and finally found it. I bought four of each ingredient just to make sure I'd have it the next week.
I never thought something as *normal* as molasses would be so hard to find!

It is hard to find!

Look for Black Strap Molasses. It makes a very nice whole wheat bread when used as the sugar.

Yes, that's the name of it! I could see the bottle, couldn't think of the name.

Brer Rabbit brand makes a black strap molasses. There web page lists markets that carry it, and you could possibly order it online.

Brer Rabbit is actual, unsulfured molasses. I tend to use the "full flavor" as opposed to the blackstrap because blackstrap tastes bitter to me.

I saw a interior design show where they put two dishwashers in the kitchen, one is being filled while you use dishes from the other, instead of putting them away. I thought it was a great idea, if you've got the space.

Why...have I never thought of this?
Two a/c's, two water heaters...but only one dish washer!
I'm just kidding..I don't do dishes lol.

BTW - We have bookshelves throughout our house, too. I have college degrees in Foods and Nutrition, Liberal Studies, a Master's of Librarianship, and a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science. The last degree paid off the loans from all of the others. I like systems and network administration more than coding, although coding pays better. I hated being the only woman in the weekly blamestorming meeting.

I should have known you'd be soooo educated! Lol.

Are you saying she has a large nose?

The lady's eye was saved by the fact that Lucky has a short neck.

Don't blame the poor roo. She's so obnoxious that I like the idea of her having a large honker, better

Story about stupid people getting in animal's personal spaces.......

A friend had two dogs that were extremely dog aggressive so taking them to the vet was really an adventure. When a new "mobile" vet became available in our county, he set up an appointment. She arrived, got out of the vehicle......We warned her they didn't like vets....... Neither of the dogs barked or growled at her. She worked on Ernie first, wormer, clip nails, express glands, body check for any abnormalities, then his shots. Everything going smoothly so far.......

I have been holding Bert by the collar......She walks up to Bert and before I realize what she is doing, bends over him to give him a hug.......... and he bites her right in the face!

I could not believe a vet would do something so STUPID!

Wow. All I can say. Wow. Right up there with the guy who jumped into the holding pen with Mother Beeve and her calf because he wanted to take a picture of that cute little calf.

Anyway, here in the SF Bay Area, we are about to have a mass case of stupid. Some company has found a market niche - they run bulls and steers down horse racing tracks and have people "run with the bulls." This is right up there with swimming with sharks in the "are you sure this is a good idea?" category. So they are holding several of these at the Alameda County Fairgrounds, and they have set up the rails with "escapes" for runners.

I have a business idea - running with elephants - or maybe with jackasses or lions or feral hogs.

Not all vets are good with animals. Especially in the beginning. Not all of them even like (all) animals. But still, approaching a dog like that is very stupid.
