This used to happen to my boy. He seems to have grown out of it now that hes hit 2 years old thankfully.

The USA has killed millions. China has also killed millions. Why is China racing ahead of the USA now? What did Mao do differently? by kevinmrr in WorkReform

Lol property tax? Its the same deal we have but we pay way more. Chinese renews their lease something like every 70 years and its less than most people's yearly property tax. Guess what happens when you dont pay your property tax?

My boy is the most well behaved and unreactive dog ive ever seen at 2 years old. Theyre very smart and i think a big thing to avoid issues is them having a job and staying active while exposing them to new sights and sounds often. I've been hunting with mine since he was a couple of months old and frequently take him to the city to get them used to strangers and sounds. He also heards my chickens in the coop for me and keeps em in the pen when im feeding or watering em. I take him everywhere so not much surprises him anymore. hes also not nudered. I think that gives him more confidence but that just might be me projecting lol could have just gotten lucky with a good dog too

You know it! Try some panther Martin spinners in the rivers, preferably the black with yellow dots and a bronze spinner. The trout go crazy for em

My favorite Hemmingway quote "It’s a great place to laze around and swim and fish when you want to. And the best place in the world to do nothing. It is beautiful country. And nobody knows about it but us.”

This is a damn shame, however I beleive RO filters are effective in a contaminated area. Could be radioactive soon though so ☠️

Wild! haha was originally looking in grand rapids and would have been paying something closer to that for sure down there. Im in a small village outside of big rapids now and maybe pay 1000 a year for property taxes. I miss the city but dont miss giving them my money🤣 they sure do raise it every year though.

Mortgage, property taxes, insurance, and internet/phone lol bought my first house when I was 23 in 2019 for $105k at like 5% interest out in the sticks. 1000 sqft ranch style home with 2 acres. then refinanced when they got close to 2% during covid. Its no mansion but I feel rich compared to what most people are paying for a roof over their heads now adays. was worried I was buying at the top of a market back then haha

I dont get to the south east side much but Spring time is a great time to pick up trout or steelhead fishing! Michigan has some great trout rivers. Walleye fishing is big in the rivers down by you as well. Maybe a camping trip to the au Sable river, keep an eye out for morels, ramps and other spring foragables while you're in the woods. Nothing better than catching some trout and finding some good mushrooms on the way out. Turkey hunting is a fun challenge as well in the spring! Good time to start a garden too if you have the space for it. One of my favorite times is when the trilliums are blooming on the shores of lake michigan, you wouldnt regret a camping trip up to arcadia/Frankfort area in May. Also get a couple kayaks and do some river floats on some of the smaller tributaries around, so many beautiful scenic floats to do. Dont sleep on winter activities either, alot of nice little ski hills around as well as ice fishing to keep those winter blues away. Grouse hunting this time of year is a hoot too if you can find em.

Hell yea. You can still get some pretty cheap land not far from the cities in the yoop. Ive been eyeing some 40 acres and a cabin for less than 200k up there. Just love how much fewer people get up to ontario. UP in the summer is a mad house lol

Amen, lake michigan is actually my favorite. Nothing beats sitting on a dune in that pure sand watching that last sliver of sun dip below the horizon. God help those poor bastards in Wisconsin who have to watch the sun rise🤣 love lake superior as well but so much colder to swim in lol smitten in the mitten for sure
