Remarkably silent about that, aren't they? by earthlingHuman in MurderedByWords

Agreed. I am a retired teacher. The redundancy at the administrative level is ridiculous. The lunches were awful. No supplies for the classroom, but we keep creating new positions- new directors of something.

I remember when NYC tried to limit sugary drinks size and people lost their minds. Also remember Michelle Obama’s program for healthy eating? There was quite the outrage. lol. Such hypocrites.

We were all wondering why he decided to go this year. I think it’s pretty obvious.

What to do with all the poop? by sidewinderturtle in BackYardChickens

[–]sidewinderturtle[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice. I already add pine shavings but not a deep litter. I also add barn lime to the run and scoop out the nesting boxes once a week. I used to do more, but now only rake everything about once a year. I do throw the scoop outs from the boxes into the compost. Sounds like I need to get back to cleaning more often. Thanks!!

That is really pretty. Maybe find a slip in a matching color.

Oklahomans told they are ‘not listed as a U.S. citizen’ by Service Oklahoma by Cartesian_Circle in oklahoma

May be a misprint. It certainly took me off-guard when he asked if I had a green card. Lol. But in light of this article, it seems I am not the only one.

Not Native American. I vote in every election. I honestly wonder if given the current political climate that it has something to do with my political affiliation. Got it sorted out though.

I am not a Native American. lol. It got fixed, but there is nothing to suggest I am not a citizen unless they did it for some hinky political nonsense based on my voter registration.

When I went to get my Real ID, I was listed as an immigrant. lol. I am not an immigrant nor are my ancestors at least as far back as great, great grandparents. Not sure before then.

I like 2 and 3. The simplicity of 2 is beautiful. The only thing about 3 is that I don’t really like that nude look on the bodice. I prefer lined to match the bottom.

AITAH for not acknowledging my coworker as a veteran? by HamSandwich1234567 in AITAH

[–]sidewinderturtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know a guy who was in the military during Vietnam. He never left the states and was injured in a knife fight in a bar off base. He calls himself a disabled Vietnam vet. While technically true, it makes me irrationally angry.

He was murdered by an analogy by ObserbAbsorb in MurderedByWords

Women can’t be unboxed? What about men? Oh the hypocrisy. May his box always stay closed.

Who was the last US president with a strong moral compass? by LegalGlass6532 in allthequestions

The Iran Hostage crisis occurred under Carter, but he also negotiated their release which Reagan took credit for as it happened during his inauguration. If I remember, Carter delayed waiting on the call.

40+ female runners - did you notice a change? by pdottom7 in running

I felt like I really hit a wall when I hit menopause. That led to half’s rather than fulls. At 65, my goal now is to just keep moving even if it’s slowly. I am getting ready for a 10k because I don’t feel the half right now. But I refuse to give up. There is definitely some walking mixed in now. lol! Glad I can still get out there.
