Wooo Hoooo!  Page 5! 

I have a good excuse for not being around for page 1 though - I was running.  Kind of.  Well, it was more like a slow jog with walk breaks. 

Meh, I don't care - I still got outside for 11km! 

WHY DO YOU HATE AMERICA??  DANG YOU AND YOUR METRIC SYSTEM! 

Why all shouty Phil?  Geez, I don't hate America, I'm from North America... just not the part of North America that still uses old measurement systems.  :p

P.S. Bout time we got to a new TAN #182 lived forever.

Ooooh, using a double "en" ending.  French influence, I see.

Oui, c'est Canadienne - Je comprends parce que je parle un tout petit peu  :p 

Donc, je ne suis pas la personne qui parle uniquement le français ce soir TAN

C'est vrai! Je pense que Spanky parle également le français, mais il n'est pas là ce soir.  

I had no idea you or Spanky spoke French. Very cool. Finally my 5 years of French classes can be used. Yeah.

The dog or the pig?


Mornin' TAN.

And....kind of kidding aside, I have access to land that can be used for ag. I did have thoughts of buying a pig and a cow and raising them. Then "harvest" them for the meat. I'd have burgers, steak, chops, bacon, and sausage for years. Going to seriously have to put the pen to the paper to figure out the cost effectivness of this.

You would probably want the pig outside anyway.  Either that or leave the mud pit set up full time in the play room.

Do you do all of your own butchering?  A lot of money to have someone else do it.  A lot of time if you do it yourself.  It also depends upon who is cutting the meat for you and doing the processing for you and where that is compared to where you live.  We used to drive 45 minutes to the place that processed our beef or hogs.  Quit doing that about 5 years ago.  May have to look into it again and splitting with other family members.

A friend of a friend would do the processing. My boss has a guy that does all of his deer processing (all types of cuts, makes sausage, etc) so I'd go to him. I wouldn't have any idea what a cow and a pig would cost.

I did have a friend a few years ago that bought a cow and processed it. He named it "Yum Yum", which I thought was awesomeness...... He said it was cost effective for him, but he's also a VP for a major corporation......so a lot of things are "cost effective" for him.

It's worth looking into.......and I can also use it as a learning experience for my daughter. This is what a hamburger looks like before you eat it. Meat doesn't come from the grocery store in little packages....it comes from here....THEN into packages. Circle of Life, baby. Circle. Of. Life

Good morning TAN.  If you live in Texas, you probably already have pigs.  It's just a matter of harvesting.  

I read somewhere that just to keep the pig population in Texas from growing, you would have to kill 70% each year.  Now those are some busy pigs.

Morning TAN!

I'm all kinds of sore today, but in a good way... I think? 

Question for anyone that might know... If I have a utility bill in my name, does that mean I can prove that I'm a resident of the city and finally get a library card?

Yay!  Considering I live right beside the library, it would be nice to be able to go there and NOT feel like I'm breaking the rules all the time and that a security guard was going to come along and kick me out at any time.

YES.  Each time I move the local library wants to see a bill from a local utility to prove your a resident. 

Dare I ask how your other resident issues are going?

Good to know!  It was a huge pain even to get the electricity bill in my name with being from a different country and all that, but it's finally done and now, a shiny new library card is next!

As far as the other issues... the latest lawyer we talked to said that he doesn't see any problem at all with me being approved for getting a Green Card, and we've retained his law firm to take care of it all for us... the only problem will be coming up with the thousands of dollars to pay both the application fees as well as his lawyer fees.  I'm thinking it would be bad to rob a bank and then try to submit my applications from jail...

Feral hogs are a HUGE problem down here. They populate and populate and popluate....lots of piggy sex going on. There is no "closed season" on them, you don't need a hunting license to kill them, there is no limit on how many you can take. Farmers are willing to let you hunt on their land at no charge just to kill them because they're destroying everything.
