3/3) I am fully aware this is not an option for most, and I am thankful I have that ability. Truly I wish the US medical system was like most around the world. They tend to focus on getting people better over corporate profits.

2/3) I spent the summer abroad offering hospice care for an inlaw. Within 2 weeks I had seen the US equivalent to a primary, and a handful of specialists. Just because they listened to me and instead of relying on me believing in god, they kept running tests.

1/3) In 24 I spend over 10k in medical expenses. Because meeting your deductible does not end the syphon. After a lot of gaslighting the doctors wanted to start some crazy treatment plans. That I now know would have caused severe complications.

Unfortunately when someone makes a stance part of their personhood, they rarely bend unless severely and directly harmed. And if that stance allows hate they may become drunken in hate and return even if it harms themselves.

If you are in the US, I would recommend saving money by traveling to another country for healthcare. For less than my copay in the US, I received more care in two weeks than a year in the US. I can hardly wait until next summer to see my amazing doctors abroad again.

It almost feels like they are helping the insurance never have to pay. Like, congrats you just reached your deductible on Dec 31. For the next 12 hours healthcare will be paid in full by insurance. And, the next appt. isn't available until October.

It only takes a few to give into bullying and the bully will always think they can push people around.

And then be fed to the chickens. Only heathens eat the heels. 😆

Unfortunately the service members are just pawns in Trump's game. They had no choice and could have been charged as AWOL. I think all funding of DHS should be withheld until first their tactics have ended, and second they compensate the service members for the 60 days they were illegally called up.

I am down to 15 laying hens because I knew I would be gone for a while. Ask my neighbor how many eggs he is getting a day while watching them. Happily he replied 5 to 8 a day. I am pretty sure I will have more than 16 chickens when I return. 😆

Over winter break I brought my uncle some eggs. Bred with a 12lb Brahma. He feeds a mostly vegetarian diet to them. Mine are free range and I think they were noticeably larger by this age. The first picture is his, second, and third mine at about the same age.

Omg. Those are the fluffiest cheeks and beard.

Although I wouldn't put it past him to try, I do not see how he would accomplish that. Voting machines are never connected to the internet during voting.

If looks could kill she would have stabbed through the heart.

I agree with the sentiment. I only worry about the repercussions. Since Citizens United they would be allowed to pour money into politics and sway their congregations. Currently the biggest thing holding them back is fear of losing their tax exemption.

It is a shame when hate groups commandeer cultural symbols to promote their hate.

At least it will be easy to track him down when the time of reckoning comes.

Just "two" more. Where are the ones you are aren't showing us? 😆

I try to politely explain to them that because of all my education in this and similar subjects, I google for accuracy. While they google for knowledge. I think it goes over their head.

I do rather enjoy watching them meltdown though.

How do you respond to people that call you fascist when quoting FDR.

Personally I am like, are you high? I just don't even see how they made that leap.

My better half and I have a run joke where we say, "have you tried not."

It is because everyone is always, have you tried some BS.

BH: how are you feeling today?
ME: like shit.
BH: have you tried not.
ME: I did, but it didn't work.
BH: Maybe you didn't try enough.
Both: little smile and giggle.

Hatching eggs never gets old. 😁

No hate. But, the regularly of your posts had me wondering if you were a bot. Still enjoy seeing them, it just made me wonder.

I don't need more baby chick! I don't need more baby chick! I don't need more baby chick!

Who am I kidding, when I get home I will probably drop another dozen in the incubator. 😆

I think that exact same thing every time my babies come running.

Hopefully Congress will show some spine and prosecute him for his crimes. Unfortunately recent events make me doubt we will ever see it.

She is probably wondering if she came down with a bad case of chicken math. 😆

The vets that aren't MAGA look down on those that are with shame as MAGA violates the very constitution they swore to uphold.

Black chicken on the roof of the coop/barn/garage space.

I was reminded of this picture from another post where their baby was in a tree. Some say chickens don't fly. I would say they don't fly far. She used to jump from the bed of a truck up there to get in the backyard. Now she just flies over the 6' fence in the picture.

This is how I feel every time someone argues with me on social media. Um sorry these are the facts. So no, how about you go fuck yourself ignorant asshole.

So I have this one chicken. 😁
