Brant let me sleep in & he got Colton ready for school today and he did dishes!
I got my really expensive bauble for our anniversary in November. We got new wedding bands and I finally got an engagement ring. So we agreed romantic presents were not needed for Valentines Day just doing things for each other. We are having a farm fresh ham for dinner.

Is Farm fresh a brand or did you slaughter a pig?

straight out of the smokehouse oink oink (I pay someone to do the slaughtering & cutting though) Nothing at the grocery store like it. It went to the slaughterhouse just before we left for DL and we picked it up when we got back.

I ended up working just a couple of hours with her. She needed to go to the grocery store. Unfortunately, she does not have steady hours for me, nor enough. So I will be looking for more work, elsewhere. She is too picky and cranky anyway....

Sounds great. How much meat did you get, what cuts?

172 lbs Ham, bacon, pork, chops, ribs, sausage, loins & roasts both seasoned & unseasoned, pretty basic. Costs me $125 for the pig from local farmer then the processing cost me $111 so $1.37 per pound for a years worth of pork not a bad deal and so much better without all those preservatives and other junk.

So how is the bacon sliced? That sounds really good, how big was the pig? My friends sell cows but it comes to about 300 pounds so it's best to split. But after proccessing about $2 even per pound.

I hope the pig did not suffer. For it is my understanding that to this day, pigs are not humanely killed. Nor are cows always either. The whole subject frankly regarding slaughtering animals that I know that I would have as pets, is just so disturbing that I really cannot stand to think about it for too long. Besides... this subject just does not have anything to do with Dl. Ok, my post does not either, but it is not of a disturbing nature either.

Do you not eat meat? Have you ever been fishing? Are you sure carrots wouldn't cry out if they had mouths when you bite them with yours?

 

[Gisele]

I eat meat, but I do not make animals suffer.

Gisele, I'm not sure if you are a religious person or not, but God gave us the animals to feed ourselves. As read in "The Book of Genesis."

I believe it was humans long ago who made the choice of inviting animals into our homes and treating them as we would another human. I personally do not look down on these people, but i do not want these people making me feel badly for eating animals. Because many of God's creature's would certainly eat me if given the chance.

I do agree that there are inhumane practices of killing animals. And this I do not agree with. And these few slaughterhouse's do give all other's a bad name.

Did anyone watch the Bachelor tonight? I have not yet but finished watching last week's episode.

Is anyone afraid of bugs? Why?

I am more terrified of rodents than bugs. Especially one's with long tails. I can look at a picture of a mouse and start finding it hard to breath. I'm not sure why, I just can't stand them. My daughter has a hamster, it's very cute, looks like a little teddybear, but I can't hold it.

I imagine it's a phobia. I am very odd about heights. Sometimes I can work of the top of a ladder. Sometimes I freeze standing on a sidewalk curb worrying that I could fall 6 inches.


The girls on the bachelor were all freaking out about insects. I guess though it would fair to say they weren't all scared but were taken into the mass hysteria that one or two introduced to the group.
