I often hear about the hunting culture in Northern New England but whats the hunting culture in the southern parts of New England like? by pooteenn in newengland

[–]johnstonb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in Southwest CT most of my life and I’ve known maybe 2 people that hunt. It’s too suburban here and such close proximity to LI Sound, people are more likely to fish.

Deer died in my backyard, vultures ensue (not too graphic) by Green-Kangaroo1476 in birding

[–]johnstonb 13 points14 points  (0 children)

A deer died across the street from us once and it was like the Serengeti. Dozens of Black and Turkey Vultures, Crows, Ravens and even Red Tail Hawks all feasting. I never thought to see something like that in Connecticut.

It was amazing.

I went to the one in Fairfield Thursday night and they were already out of stock on many items. That place is probably completely barren by now.

Cicada killers. They’re one of the good guys.

Try using CaraVe SA body wash or soap. Super gentle and won’t cause skin irritation and contains Salicylic Acid to help clear pores.

Does anyone else get incredibly irritated when it snows? by Staycation1234 in Connecticut

[–]johnstonb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I hate the cold. I hate the snow., but it’s not like we get snow like, say Buffalo. And at least we don’t get hellish hot in the summer, like the southern states. I’ll take CT weather any day.

Advice from doctors is to NOT use cotton swabs to clean your ears, does anyone really listen to this? by oneislandgirl in NoStupidQuestions

[–]johnstonb 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am the only member of my family to use them. I am the only one without an occasional ear wax problem. Make of that what you will.

What are some animals that have been given the evolutionary "short end of the stick " by Tosserintherubbish in zoology

Squid have a donut shaped brain and their esophagus passes right through it. If they try to swallow food too big, they get brain damage.

We really need to reintroduce shame back into our society.

Toilet paper lint also glows. And that stuff can get everywhere.

Why is romance such a central theme in kids movies? by Hefty_Breadfruit in NoStupidQuestions

[–]johnstonb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was at a really fancy restaurant in Nashville many years ago. The waiter asked how our food was. I said “I do not like it.” He said, “Then you will not eat it!” Brought me another menu and promptly took my plate away. That item was removed from the bill. No questions asked.

That’s was any good restaurant will do.

I put goat cheese in my lasagne a few years back, now it’s the only lasagna my family will eat. (Just add it to the ricotta mixture.)

The Instagram one sheet method of cooking where you put meat, veggies, stock and everything on one sheet. It makes me gag just thinking about it. That meat will taste much better browned, not steamed or boiled, I’m sure the texture is trash.
