My brother's best buddy at work is from West Virginia. He says the best compliment you can give a resident is "Nice Tooth."

I always put ketchup on the hot dog. I heard the next person say to his wife, she put "ketchup on her hot dog."

Only ketchup? What about the mustard, onions, relish and sauerkraut??

My insurance renews May 1. Hope the money lasts longer this time.

It might if you get an honest dentist Tell him/her you have no insurance and see what you need then.

The good news is, I'm getting the first refund in years on my taxes

Wish I could say the same, we'll be eating egg salad sandwiches for months.

Also, $70 for these.... ummmm... WHAT!?!?

Dang, I just GOTTA stop throwing out my jeans that are all ripped up and worn out! For that kind of money I could buy a brand new pair!

i don't understand why people want to pay that kind of money for a pair of jeans with holes in them, when i was growing up, if you had a tiny little hole in them and wore them out in public, people looked down on you, you were poor

Exactly!! That’s what I don’t get!! People used to think you were poor or a slob or something if you wore stuff with holes or paint all over it and would probably make fun of you but yet now it is apparently *~*trendy*~*

The terrible thing is that if you’re anything other than a rich white city/suburban girl/woman, you’ll probably still be looked down on for it.

Yes wild turkeys. Which part is odd? The fact that there are multiple toms with the females or the fact that they were on the deck?

Them being on the deck. It is hard to even see them around here.

You’re stylish and trendy!!!! Or you could sell them for big bucks I see stuff online on those resale sites and apps, people sell their old, junky jeans for ridiculous amounts of money and people buy them. ~vintage~ People also go into thrift stores and do the same thing. Buy old clothes and sell them or keep them wear them as ~vintage~. Sometimes with small changes. Furniture too. a coat of paint and suddenly it’s vintage and cute. A lot of people are actually upset by this because they say that all the rich hipster people come in and buy everything and there is nothing left for the poor people that actually need it which is what thrift stores were originally for. And that the prices at a lot of thrift stores have gone up because of this. And that there is nothing good left because people take all the good stuff. I kind of agree.

Ah okay. Yeah, it is a bit odd but we are also in a more suburban area and in a neighborhood with houses right behind us and condos/townhomes in front so maybe they are more used to people here??? We see them all the time here in people’s yards and crossing the roads and such. We have almost 3 acres and about half or more I’d say is woods but the yard is huge, there’s a huge cleared yard, so mixed terrain and our woods are connected to the neighbors and there’s actually a big patch of woods that you could walk through and go a couple miles down the road and be wooded the whole time. So the animals can hide and you can not see them but they do appear and also have to come out eventually. And there are periods where we don’t see any animals for a while and periods where we have frequent visitors. We most frequently see them during the season changes I think, like spring and fall. A couple years ago there was a HUGE group of turkeys that were daily visitors for like a week or two and then just disappeared but those ones were very friendly. I fed them and befriended them after about a week. Never hand fed or anything but they approached and got pretty close and ate on the ground near me. But even before that they flew up on the new chicken coop roof (before we moved them in) and perched there, perched on our corral fence in the yard, on the deck, on the chicken run roof where the chickens were, approached my chickens (who were in the run), cleaned up the bird seed from our feeders, they even came right in our little front garden/walkway right outside our front door. Granted there was bird seed on the ground there too by accident but still. Very odd. Those ones were very oddly friendly. These ones mostly just scratched around and left and I haven’t seen them since. Unlike the last ones. And only a group of like 5 or 6 or something. Which I guess is a good thing. Cause I don’t want to feed these ones this time. But the ones in this area range from very friendly to more wild. We have had them fly in front of cars before, even damaged one, but I have also walked by a whole flock in someone’s yard with Libby and they didn’t care. In fact, I think they crossed the road in front of us to get to the yard. But that was when we were still pretty far back and I made Libby sit and watch me. But still. When we walked by, the were in the yard. Granted, the yard was kind of on like a hill so that made them farther away from us, but still. Libby is a big, black dog and I am obviously a human but nope, not a big deal. I think they are just in general already more used to people around here and there are a lot of people walking and driving around both in our neighborhood and their neighborhood and a lot of people feed birds. It is not very rural here even though there are patches of woods so they have to come into contact with people here.

Deer and coyotes and foxes are bold too especially coyotes.

Did you 'squeeze' all the air out of the baggies? Looks like it in the pic....should have enough in the bag so the air can circulate/equalibrate slightly.
