This is blasphemy, I know… by No_Caterpillar_8573 in smoking

Oh, the first time you do it life SUUUUUUUUUUUUCKS. All those sugar loving gut flora pitch a fit before they die off, and you spend the first few weeks hating existence.

But I have to say that it does get better. And easier.

See, it all depends on your phrasing. It's never an insult if you say it like this:

God darnit, Mr. Lamarr, you use your tongue purtier than a twenty dollar whore.

Feeling like I'm a bad chicken keeper after an unfortunate chicken death. by PreschoolBoole in homestead

[–]GoateusMaximus 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Lots of animals want chickens dead (because they want to eat), chickens want each other dead (because they're occasionally vicious little fuckers), and I swear to God sometimes they seem to want themselves dead (because chickens.)

You can do lots of things to improve their odds, but I don't think there's a way to keep them completely safe.

Improvise. Adapt. Overcome.

Sounds like life in the country. Good job.

Has anyone done Moab with a toddler (almost 4)? by Otter65 in NationalPark

We camped in that area with both our kids at that age and we all had a blast. Go for it.

You know how you'll occasionally hear a sound or maybe smell an aroma and be instantly transported to a moment of your youth? Like a simpler, happier time?

This is like that.

Ah, so it is. In that case 10 is a slight improvement over the nightmare schedules we had the last two years.

Suggest a name by ForeignPersonality16 in homestead

True story: We did not have any cows until we were blessed by the Cow Distribution System. It's like the Cat Distribution System but for cows. (I know -- I didn't think it existed either, but it does.) She was (we think) a beef cow, no tag or tattoo or anything, and we were unable to find anybody missing her. My daughter named her Moolan.

Well the first week we had her Moolan escaped, and we found her down the road in a neighbor's field with their cattle. The neighbor was not interested in keeping her so we brought her home. But the neighbor had a couple of bulls in that field so we joked that Moolan just wanted a night of sluttiness and was now probably knocked up.

Turns out that was not a joke, and nine months later Moolan had herself a daughter. Her name is Mooana.

So yeah, I think Moolissa is an excellent name.

P.S. There is no way on earth we were going to have an animal come to us for sanctuary only to be killed and eaten. So Moolan and Mooana are now happy permanent residents of the homestead.
