We have Colorado River toads that come out with the monsoons, can kill your dog if they lick their backs that have a venomous gland that secretes a magical elixir that humans dry and smoke for a psychedelic high. Go figure.
When folks use the politically correct term "harvest" when hunting or fishing. You harvest carrots dam it. When you hunt or fish and are successful you kill.

I always thought that harvest meant you butchered the kill yourself instead of taking it somewhere to get it done. I don't know anything about hunting though, that's just what I assumed it meant.
Harvest is used so the bunny huggers don't piss themselves when they hear it. I use either term, depending on the audience. Gotta protect the snowflakes delicate sensibilities.

@CalvinAndHobo Perhaps you may be thinking of field dressing…to pack out a kill easier…until you get home and perform desired cuts…and don’t forget the sausage lol.
No I'm not saying I'm still correct in thinking that. I'm just saying I had been incorrectly thinking of what that word meant for years. It made me remember some conversations I'd had in the past, where I was imagining my coworkers family members butchering a deer in their garage.
I hate when you send an email to someone asking a question that should be a one word answer.
Like yes or no.
Or login info.
And they email you back a power point, totally having nothing to do with what you asked.
In Fumo Pax Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy cigars and that's close enough.

Female play by play commentary on the Hawks/Titans game(CBS) On one of the drone view shots of Nashville she mentioned the Columbia river. It’s the Cumberland river. No correction was given. No mansplaining. I assume mansplaining is forbidden on a major network like CBS. She seems competent enough but that’s not the problem. Her voice is unpleasant to listen to, weak, and when the action on the field gets intense, she sounds like a 12 yr old boy who is close to, but not yet fully going through the puberty. The sideline chick reporter’s voice is good. You can really tell how bad the play by play chick is when you hear them both in succession. Whelp, as I was typing this up she misquoted the score. Ugh. Maybe she’s not that competent anyway.
I’ve never heard of her, so I thought I should google her. Beth Mowins. Guess what? People hate her. Y’all probably already knew that but this is the first time for me. She posted today on her own twitter account to promote herself calling the game and the replies are sparse and a majority just brutal.
At a recent parent-teacher conference for my daughter, I noticed there were very few students or parents in the school. I asked my daughter's math teacher how conference attendance today compared with earlier in his career (he is around 40 years old). He told me that in the beginning his day was booked solid with conferences, but now he only sees a few parents each year.
It seems to me that the first place parents who are unsatisfied with their children's academics, should look, is at themselves. There is far too much apathy from parents these days.
(Just an FYI, I wasn't previously aware of the low number of parents attending parent-teacher conferences at public schools because my daughter was homeschooled until high school)

From being married to a teacher, the focus seems to have shifted from attending parent teacher conferences to get progress updates to exchanging emails and phone calls more real-time. I don't think it's been an improvement, and I do think that parent involvement is dropping too.

It's a good thing they put out that warning. I was just about to go on a toad licking tour.

When they make the cap of a cigar too small and it unravels when you cut it.

I saw something about home grown eggs that bothered me. I didn't realize that you can grow eggs; these weren't plant based eggs.
Just pulled a Ricky and ashed/burnt another brand new sweatshirt! @Rhamlin
I agree with @First_Warrior.

A good cigar and whiskey solve most problems.

Organic eggs is a term that floors me.
I saw organic plant soil the other day and just thought to myself that this BS is really going too far.
Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy cigars and that's close enough.
When the ash drops on the puff immediately before I intended to ash it.
You’ll have that on them big jobs

Smell my fingers
When did that ever go well ?

I hate that we keep handing the reins of power and the money that goes with it to individuals who's only concern is their own self interest.
Only self-interested people, willing to make Shady deals, can go far enough to grab power.

Brutal indeed.
Was she at least pretty or have big titz?

Teachers hold parent(s) and computers responsible, parents hold their work-life and teachers responsible...
One seventh grade teacher said his students are still performing at a fourth grade level
https://www.foxnews.com/media/teachers-sound-alarm-students-failing-grade-level-standards
An old friend's son-in-law was just diagnosed with Grade 4 Glioblastoma brain cancer. 34 years old, with a 4 month old baby, his first child.
That really sucks, thoughts and prayers for the family.
That not only sucks, it blows, too. Sorry to hear of it.
