Pet Peeves

[Gizabelle]

I always found them a little fatty but they are effectively in a liquid feed lot.

My Dad tried to break into catfish farming in the late '60s. I must of walked half the farms in S. Mississippi and SE Louisiana looking for a place with him. Most were old Tung Nut plantations.
He traveled all over LA, MS and AR talking to fish farmers but could just never put the right deal together. I was in late High School and he asked if I would partner with him if he could start the business and I said I would. It never happened.
It brings back great memories though. Thank you.

I don't think its as common here in FL, but my grandfather and great uncle ran a small scale operation in the early 90s. Uncle owned it, but granddad took care of it. "Going to the pond" in the evenings with my grandparents will always stick with me.
Pretty sure my granddad stuck with it mostly because "going to feed the fish" was an excellent excuse to fish every day while he was there.

I have a 1400sq ft bungalow. November to March temperatures are below freezing with lots of snow. Had several days in a row in January when temperatures were -35C/-31F with wind chill. So I burn through 10-12 cords but my propone furnace only ever comes on if I am away.

Gotcha. We get cold enough in northern Ohio, I can't imagine -31!

People who have an such an air of self-importance which makes them think that everyone and everything is out to get them when something goes wrong.

I do love fish, though! lol I could live off of fish alone as far as meat goes.

My doctor put me on a low/fat diet for IBS 2 weeks ago and the first thing I thought of was “Oh god… no more catfish”

I've had IBS since I was about 12 years old. 40ish years later and I still don't listen to my body as well as I should. Red meat tends to be a trigger for me, but I think triggers can be very individual.
