The Old Folks Home

Woke up to a deluge this morning; most has run off or sunk in now. We may get a little bit more before the morning is out. Last year, it took a long time before the mosquitoes built up to a level that made things truly unpleasant outside, but I don't think we will be blessed like that this year. Weeding is already getting to be a contest to see how many bites I can stand before I come in (skin sensitivity makes bugspray nearly intolerable).

I think you are getting what we enjoyed earlier this week. As a friend described it.....GLUB.....GLUB......GLUB.
 
Just caught DD's cat on our kitchen counter, never saw her up there ever, licking a stick of butter...was not too happy. In the garbage. Then I got thinking, wonder how many times she's done that and we didn't know?

Cats to stuff like that all the time. They learn not to get up on counters when you are home but will do it when you are away.

Cats are pretty smart that way--things related to food and keeping you happy

Reminds me of the time Mom took a cake decorating class and then did a tiered number for my grandparents' 50th anniversary party. The morning of the party the cat licked all the frosting off the backside of the cake. Oops. No time for a re-do. Mom cut the cake in half and backed it up against the buffet wall.

re: Shingles
Dad had a real bad case that got half his head in the purple mask. He looked kind of like a really gross Phantom of the Opera with the way it came down over one eye. He had to stay home and stay quiet, which for a functioning alcoholic was rather easy for him to do...self-medication and lots of ESPN.
 
Quote: Much of what the test detects as cancer isn't cancer yet the medical business treats these non-cancers at an astronomical cost for really healthy women (maiming, death).

Contrary to the official narrative (which is based on medical business-fabricated pro-mammogram "scientific" data), there is marginal, if any, reliable evidence that mammography, both conventional and digital (3D), reduces mortality from breast cancer in a significant way in any age bracket but a lot of solid evidence shows the procedure does provide more serious harm than serious benefit (read the books: 'Mammography Screening: Truth, Lies and Controversy' by Peter Gotzsche and 'The Mammogram Myth' by Rolf Hefti (author's summary at The Actual Truth about Mammograms).

IF........ women (and men) at large were to examine the mammogram data above and beyond the information of the mammogram business cartel (eg American Cancer Society, National Cancer Institute, Komen), they'd also find that it is almost exclusively the big profiteers of the test, ie. the "experts," (eg radiologists, oncologists, medical trade associations, breast cancer "charities" etc) who promote the mass use of the test and that most pro-mammogram "research" is conducted by people with massive vested interests tied to the mammogram industry.

Most women are fooled by the misleading medical mantra that early detection by mammography saves lives simply because the public has been fed ("educated" or rather brainwashed) with a very one-sided biased pro-mammogram set of information circulated by the big business of mainstream medicine. The above mentioned two independent investigative works show that early detection does not mean that there is less breast cancer mortality.

Because of this one-sided promotion and marketing of the test by the medical business, women have been obstructed from making an "informed choice" about its benefits and risks which have been inaccurately depicted by the medical industry, favoring their business interests.

Operating and reasoning based on this false body of information is the reason why very few women understand, for example, that a lot of breast cancer survivors are victims of harm instead of receivers of benefit. Therefore, almost all breast cancer "survivors" and the general public blindly repeat the official medical hype and nonsense.

But that's too much truthful reality for most people to handle. So they go into denial mode (as if that changes anything about the truth)...

I have also questioned the use of mammograms anyway. I mean, we know that radiation causes cancer, so, obviously, we should shoot concentrated radiation through tissue on a yearly basis and then "Wow! We found the cancer right when it started!" hummm...

Also, I don't know how much of this is true, but my mom always told me that you're not supposed to pull hair out of moles because they worry that it could cause the mole to turn cancerous. Her reasoning is that a mole is already abnormal tissue growth and that irritating it constantly could possibly make it change the way that it is abnormal and make it become cancer. She has a lot of nutty ideas, but she was also an army medic, so she has some medical training.

So, I wonder if smashing breasts between plates and irritating the smushed tissue plus while the tissue is irritated anyway, giving it a quick shot of cancer causing radiation is really the best way to go when trying to avoid cancer.
 
Hah!

I went to rotate my incubator. ..it was cheeping. Silly me...thought they weren't due until Monday.

30% humidity and 2 bantam are out and look perfect.

OK....genetic gurus (someone on here us right?)

OK....I need color guesses.

I want to plug these two cocks into the kipper jungle table (whatever that handy dandy chicken calculator is called).

But....what colors are they?

Bad photos I know....

Cock one (he is pure d'anvers, but I think he is a cross between 2 colors):
400


400


Cock 2 (this one should be pure colored):
400


400


Thanks for any help.
 
I don't normally have much to say here, but do keep up and read along. I like to read signature lines as well. @Wickedchicken6 I hate to be like the grammar police as I am not perfect in that department myself... But; "where a chicken can cross the road without being questioned about their motives." is a singular mixed with a plural... just delete the "a" and add an "s" to chicken to make it plural and we're all good. Sharing that may allow me to actually sleep in peace this evening (not really likely, but a nice thought). It's amazing how little things can occupy the brain for no good reason.

Now, aside from that, here's hoping none of you get shingles. I don't plan on getting them and I sure remember having chicken pox as a child. I'm not a fan or proponent of vaccines in most cases.

I am with you Brother!

I noticed the grammar thing a while back too. I work in the English Dept as tech support so I have been exposed to having to fix grammar. Once a program for a memorial service was sent back five times for edits. Not that there was anything wrong. The Dept chair just had a compulsion to edit. I was finally told to go with the last revision. Thanks God!
