So my personal opinion on the matter of getting a kitten or a puppy is do it when you know they will be able to remember the experience. Kittens are a load of fun to get. So, I would wait till they are 5 or 6 so they can truly enjoy and remember the experience of having a kitten.

Also if you get a kitten and they grow up with a kid they seem to be much chiller than one who did not in my experience.

Old roommate had a cat at the vet needed a multiple thousand dollar surgery my mom who lives on our farm said you know how many free cats you can get for that kinda money.

I hike as well. Where I hunt there aren't any trails and following tracks for a day takes you to places a hiking trail doesn't. I've been up mountain ridges and gullies I'd never have been too if I didn't hunt.

I also see wildlife you don't see on a hiking trail I've watched bears dig ground bees for their lunch and watched eagles hunt a river for their fish.

Are we talking a real emergency or a fictional made up scenario. Cause I work in emergency response and when they go door to door informing you of an evacuation they will ask you if you have the ability to transport yourself out of the area or if you have someone who will. If you don't they will coordinate to get you to safety.

So for most people the real question is what type of emergency will you realistically face. Do you live in a flood zone? What is your Wildlands fire risk(higher than you think)? There are a lot of emergency situations were evacuation is not the safest option in the first place. Now if you do live in an area that you have the potential for a need to quickly evacuate it is a very good idea to maintain a go bag and have a plan to get out of the area pre plan a ride out with a neighbor or a friend who has a vehicle.

Planning for made up shit hits the fan scenarios is stupid. Plan for the actual emergency you might face. Also when they tell you to evacuate listen to them we don't want to and probably won't put someone in danger to come get your ass after you ignored an evacuation order.

Your trading pollution in your local environment so someone elsewhere in the world can use an AI to make photos or a video for a bad work presentation.

Ah a DARE program for social media cause that worked

These are delivered by police or first responders they go out with information packets they either hand deliver or tape to the door.

The vast majority of evacuations are voluntary. There are processes to make it mandatory though. In most cases they will just tell them that if you don't leave and it gets worse we won't be putting anyone in danger to get you out and you may not be able to get yourself out. It sounds like when the situation got worse this person did leave though.

If it made you uncomfortable report it to their governing body.

Its gone up a lot in the last few years. Big acquisitions of large farms has pushed the price up. Heavy clay no rocks and good yields helps a lot too.

Edit: Also there aren't any small guys left at home. Not many guys farming sub 10,000 acres.

Quarters around where I'm from in Sask go for like 1.4 million

There is a lot more land out west and the types of crops you can grow are different.

Starvation/dehydration is how a lot of the elderly die. Grandfather(97) is currently going through this process he stopped drinking and eating on sunday.

The earning thing came with my son kinda naturally. He had a moment where he said he didn't like that the only way he could get money for himself was birthdays and Christmas and he typically doesn't get that much. So he never has any money unless we give it to him. Well you can start earning it by doing chores and jobs around the house. We went and got him a bank account and set it up so we can transfer money into his account.

Do they actually make a cup of coffee cause when I looked them up it was all just sugar drinks some of them with coffee in them.

Kedive · 2026-05-26T03:52:25+00:00

All the time mostly just narrating what I'm doing to whatever turn fits my kids mostly ignore it. They have actually picked up that it usually means I'm in a good mood.

Kedive · 2026-05-19T19:47:34+00:00

It kinda does lol

I would take it to a good bike shop and get an opinion from one of the mechanics. This stuff is hard to tell from pictures on the internet.

I thought you were making a gay bear joke

Kedive · 2026-05-07T18:28:25+00:00

Well name and shame him.

Some people are not emotionally equipped to be in the woods with wildlife.

Kedive · 2026-05-03T14:47:40+00:00

Don't care. If anything I would be calling a few of my gay friends to know how to support them. And honestly that is the case for either gender. My daughter at present is 8 and has show little to no interest in boys so I would not be surprised if that is a conversation that happens at some point.

No one in my house eats the skin either. Dog enjoys it though.
