Foraging is free and you end up with really delicious free food (if you’re careful, otherwise death).

That people will use him or hurt him for his wealth. It’s almost like people are that desperate to have a tiny fraction of his money… if only there was a solution.

He’s still a billionaire though right? That billion dollars still belongs to him, right? As in, he has it, we don’t. As long as he has a BILLION of the credits most of us struggle to find a thousand of per month to pay rent, he’s not a good guy, he’s a wealth hoarder like the rest of them.

It’s funny because my good insurance (RIP) paid for my sterilization, all but $6. Seems like that’s the going rate for fuckin off pregnancy

You’re welcome

Any time my parents, on Whatsapp video, want to turn the camera round to show me something.

There was that time he called a rescue diver a pedo because he wasn’t allowed to use his unsafe sub. Oh, and his blatant takeover of the government.

We need a neverbrokeabone community for Nicole-less people.

I comment loads, but I’m a girl. For science!

It gets boring to worry. Now I just view it as a cosy box that I’ll occasionally have to patch up. Also, getting comfortable with DIY, especially that first scary ‘dive in’ moment where you have to cut the wire, drill the wall, or pull up the board. Over time it all just gets as normal and run of the mill as cracking an egg for an omelette.

Look into native plants. There are so many edible things that you can just leave in the wasteland that is your yard and they’ll take over. Here in Tennessee we have pawpaws and maypops for fruit, tomatoes that pop up randomly, garden greens like wood sorrel and lambs quarters, and a bunch of other things that absolutely take over given half a chance. Sure, if you try and grow the seed packets from your local Lowes you’ll have issues with pests and whatnot, but there is so much more food out there than these varieties.

Wild greens, berries, fruit, tubers, flowers, pollen for dough… the world is SO edible!

Morels soon!

Yeah, me either. The people responding to you aren’t talking about just abandoning them, I totally get people who have to rehome a pet or the case of the cat going mental and escaping. Struggles was allowed to roam outside and the guy said he was worried she’d get hit by a car in the new place. He told us he had multiple attempts to make her an inside cat that failed, and in the two weeks leading up to the move she was in our yard every day (his yard backs up to ours). He came and got her one week before, and literally by the evening she was back outside. Then moving day came and went, she hung out with us all the time, and I get a message that she wouldn’t come to him so he left her. He said he’d try again a week later but he never checked in. I literally could have handed her to him, so there was absolutely no credibility to his attempts.

The reason she hung out with us is so clear now. She is incredibly needy and loving, she loves human warmth, laps, and cuddles. She had a UTI and fleas that needed attention. She loves wet food and playing with the red dot. My neighbor left her outside in storms (she waIted by his back door for hours), said she hated wet food (aka he never tried) and once described her loving side as “she sat on the couch with me for the evening!” - he had no clue about the cat she actually is, so he adopted some cute kittens and moved away and left her.

Yeah, I have little patience for people who abandon good cats.

omg the little hidey face

Your little bozo has a beautiful face.

I’ve eaten 6 of the ones on your list! Hoping to add morels very soon.

Black staining polypore is also one that is super easy to ID, the very edges are edible, the inside fronds get very tough, but you can cook those up to make a phenomenal goth broth that works well in chicken noodle soup.

My dad bought me a $300 ice cream maker - it actually churns out really delicious soft serve style ice cream with barely any work. The issue is it’s about 100 lbs, the size of a small HVAC unit, and I put it away in our basement storage area. At this point it’s less effort to just buy the damn ice cream.
