Nice!

Quiche is for dinner tonight. I might put some spinach in it or Kale?

Thanks!

And that sounds good!!! Maybe both? I love both so either one sounds delicious haha

You could always save the kale and make this tomorrow.

decimated my quail block in under 10 minutes.

So they killed the wild quail that had been living in your yard?

There is some exciting news coming out of the new version of CRISPR. The indication is that it will be able to identify and help our immune system kill viruses and bacteria.

And then we will all be GMO!

Guess for me I never gave it thought never had vaccines as kid Ma was alone did not have the money

There were no vaccines when I was a kid other than Small Pox and Polio, and just young enough for that one.

By the time it got debunked, there were way too many that bought into the false information, and most wouldn't change their minds.

And keep repeating it on the net.

Sure enough there was a clear deer print big as life, not more than 75 feet from our house! Lousy little so and so's were in our front yard.

And thumbing (hoofing?) their noses at you!

Crows will chase off hawks, or so I have heard.

I've seen it many times. It looks like the crows fly better in the air when they are harassing them run circles around them.

So many new vaccines since we were little kids! My daughter got chicken pox around the same time the vaccine came out. Oops!

I only had the small pox and polio, too. We are showing our age! So I got sick with measles, rubella, and chicken pox. Somehow missed the mumps. My kid got whooping cough but I think they vaccinate for that now, too.

I had measles and chicken pox suppose to make us more susceptible to shingles right We had to go into walmart like 35 to 40 miles one way BF does not like to make me cook days we go in so went into town as there a wonderful Diner called Nacho's huge plates of food

Yes, Penny, that’s right. Chicken pox. Of course I ran right out and got my shingles vaccine before they developed the new one, Shingrix. And then there’s such a shortage of Shingrix that it could be another year before I get one!

I knew someone whose shingles spread to her eye and it was severely damaged, messing with her vision. Not a disease to fool around with.

It is about the dollar same as when the Veterinarian decided to limit what tech could do
it was they could charge more keep more

Most vets don't make that much money compared with other highly trained professionals. People just don't want to or can't spend money on animals.

The suicide rate for vets is horrifying for this reason (constant stress) and the fact that they are euthanising good animals all day because owners can't afford or don't want to pay for expensive treatment which costs the same if an animal as a human .

When I used to take long walks, I heard crows making quite a racket. When I looked up they were mobbing a hawk in a tall tree. He got intimidated and flew off. Really neat!!
