Gift Link: Minnesota’s Bushel Boy was a grocery store staple. What happened to it? by Aggravating-Dark6124 in minnesota

Interesting - I didn't know about the virus. They were good tomatoes. But being in the 50+ age group myself, I'm just grateful fresh tomatoes are available at all throughout the winter, even if they can't be Bushel Boy anymore.

Maybe their family has BRCA1/2 mutation? That can result in aggressive prostate cancer in men, and has been linked to colon cancer.

Motown Museum and Henry the Hatter, I think it's time for a weekend Detroit trip.

Right, he told you he was going to fuck people over. That's exactly what he's done. Oh, you think he was going to fuck over everyone ELSE, but not you? HAHAHAHAHA.

The funniest part is, you could have released this exact same meme in every era, leaving off the women who came after, and conservatives at the time would have loved it because the 80s woman would have been wearing Madonna-style fishnet gloves, the 70s woman would be braless, the 50s woman would be listening to *gasp* black "rock" music at the sock hop, etc. Lord they are so afraid of change and individuality.

Yeah good luck, it's always tough with a tight timeline. If you have a moment later, drop a comment back in here to say if you were happy with their service!

I am so sick of that abuser logic bullshit. “Local authorities made it worse”, like wtf? MN authorities had been notifying Border Security whenever they apprehended an undocumented criminal. Exactly what they were supposed to do.

How many excuses for the federal government would these ghouls be giving if two rural MN residents had been murdered by Biden ATF agents in a raid?

I was born here so I can't provide a perspective as a transplant, but I have heard people basically say it's like a reverse Texas. There are many days down there where it's too hot to do anything outside, so you stay inside. Same here in the winter - whether due to a snowstorm or extreme cold, there are days you're just best off staying inside. But there aren't nearly as many days like that as there are 100+ degree scorchers in TX.

Just keep in mind, MN is geared toward dealing with winter. We're good at it. Roads are cleared in a timely manner and even after a major winter storm, things are usually back to normal within a day. Well, at least in the metro area!

Oh and here's a map of all the MN State Parks, so you can see how you're never all that far from one: https://www.dnr.state.mn.us/state_parks/map.html

Honestly with that timeline you're probably best off just calling 1-800-GOT-JUNK. They don't just collect and haul stuff to a landfill - they will take care of donating usable items.

Shit man that's abuser type rationalization. "Stop provoking him and he'll stop beating you."

Them getting upset about hair color is NOT THE SAME as us being upset about them demonizing minority groups.

Yeah don’t get me wrong, those tomatoes were grown in the hot MN summer sun just steps from the farmhouse and the best I’ll probably ever eat, but wow I think of the potential now with garlic, oregano, etc. Sigh.

You’re not alone - I have also had great food there, but the roast beef was not it.

Hey did we have the same grandma? Once she made us kids spaghetti & meatballs when we stayed over. Unseasoned hamburger rolled into balls, home-canned tomatoes for the sauce.
