In Michigan, they are all over the place.
I may have killed one once when I was a kid. Don't actually recall for sure.
But that would have been when I was 9 or 10. Stupid (if it happened).
Never hurt once since (might have been only a witness to the murder in the first place. Fuzzy memory.)

I got bit by one when I was about 12-13. Big one. I scared him and he jumped at me.
He got his needle fangs in my forearm so I had to shake him off.

Yeah, I'm like you about them. They eat **** I don't like sometimes. So they are on my side.

That explains it, then. In an oxygen deprived state, you have a porn-posting tendency.

If you had told me that you were handicapped I'd have done something, FFS. At least maybe a parking placard at the .net lot.

I had a parking placard until I failed the DMV license exam, because one eye could not pass the eye chart test there. Then I wrecked my car, and cancelled my auto insurance. I have glaucoma and its getting worse.And have had to endure the pain from a fractured lumbar vertebrae the last 3 years!

By the way, I have a brother dying of that same ****. He's also on a snorkel - as he puts it. 

But he has a wife in good health seeing to him, so he's lucky.

I mean, as lucky as dying from some nasty **** gets, I guess.

When I was three and still talking baby talk (I did not gain intelligibility to anyone but my mother until well past my third birthday), I was found holding a dead garter snake by his crushed neck and talking away to him in the jibberish that was my idiolect. 

The running joke in my family - dying out now with my generation - was that I had "talked a snake to death."

Please seat yourself.



I like the very things you hate.

Its horrible!!! My best bud is my caregiver, and gets paid to come here, paid by IHSS (In Home Supportive Services) I have a breathing machine which cranks out oxygen to me, tubes going all over the house. One little mistake and I'm dead, like when the power goes out!Or a twisted tubing or a split. The machine can conk out at any time too! Which it does!

They're not too bitter. My brother in law helped me build a rather magnificent chicken coop.

Okay, okay - **** it. So my brother in law build me a rather magnificent chicken coop.   

10x10 on a solid foundation - salvaged treated 4x4s up on salvaged blocks underpinning 2x4s that support two overlapping 3/4" sheets of quality plywood - everything weather treated. The entire thing is framed and roofed, has an automatic solar powered, photo-sensitive door, windows guarded by construction cloth, roosts for about 60 birds (I have 39 right now). Classical music is piped in, solid watering system and electrical outlets for heat in winter and a fan in summer that is built into the walls, pointing outward. It's a real beauty, and perfectly situated so that their free range points downhill and away from the road that is at least a hundred feet away uphill on the reverse side of the coop from their ingress and egress.

The plywood double-floor is upholstered with plastic and covered by a 10x10 tarp which can be hauled out to dump the cedar-shavings/pine-shavings floor-covering as needed, then replaced and covered with fresh bedding material. Every bird has plenty of roost space, and no bird can roost under another to become a **** magnet.

It is a well-planned coop fashioned from lessons learned by previous experiments with chickens. If this coop is everything I hope for and predation can be kept reasonable, I plan to add about 30 hen chicks - likely golden comets - next spring (even earlier, if feasible). 

I will say this: raising hens is like buying a boat. The expenses never stop. They MIGHT pay for themselves over time, in the very long term (several years of chicken ranching, running at least 50 beak of hens) - but it's not very likely. The venture is not intended for that - it's about producing one's own food in an economy/food-delivery system in which one's trust is (on good evidence) diminished. Even with most of the building materials being free, I would say that I am about 1300 dollars into 39 chicks, almost half of which are cockerels - and that is with a borrowed incubator. Feed, ground cover, automatic door, the coop lumber I could not salvage and had to purchase, tarps, hardware (nails, brackets, etc.), heat lamps - just a myriad of penny here, penny there expenses have stacked up to the point that I would guess I am into the venture - ignoring the cockerels - about 75 bucks per hen. Now, that CAN be absorbed over time, as adding hens will not add to the infrastructural costs - just maintenance costs. And mind, this only counts the dollars - not the labor. Feed costs won't be too high moving forward, as my hens will free range.

At the end of it all, I have the beginning of a nice flock - all mixed up and multi-cultural for the present, though I will transition over time to either barred rocks or golden comets with a bias toward golden comets and time to sort it as I continue to learn. Golden comets go as high as 330 eggs per year under good conditions (which I have), and the eggs tend to be quite large, often double yolkers. The dangers come from coons, foxes, weasels, coyotes, hawks and owls. I am working on getting a good coon hunt up on the land, which brutal mass-murder will quell every one of those quadrupedal species for a good year. The aerial threats I hope to allay with old CDs strung up strategically to confuse and confound the hovering horrors. If that does not work, I have some DDT I'll put out (kidding, kidding).

I can tell you that if you're paying 3-4 per dozen for farm fresh eggs, you're ahead of your supplier in the money game. He's just treading water at those prices. Personally, I prefer duck eggs. If you haven't tried them, look about. Someone has them and is eager to sell: they're under-appreciated in the market place. 

I recommend forming relationships with local farmers. Save your scraps for their livestock - pigs and chickens. Buy what they're selling, instead of supporting walmart. Make yourself a valued customer. When the **** hits the fan, being a priority customer with a reliable food source is not a bad thing at all. And I do believe the **** is headed fanward at a reasonable clip, just based on the signs. Those bare shelves and media-fed consumer-panics of the covid psy-op were a beta test. They are actively sabotaging the American food delivery system with the intention of creating absolute dependency on a not-so-benevolent police state.

Hell, man, I got a back deck about 50 yards from the pond.

Problem with a 410 isn't noise - it's that the turtles don't suffer.

My neighbor's ducks would wander all the way to my place. I didn't think ducks had that much of a range.
Plus there's hawks and coyotes hanging around.
But a'waddlin' they did come...

I have a lake or a pond, depending on your definition. It's only about 50 feet across, but it is spring-fed and it feeds a creek, so allegedly that makes it a "lake." It's still a pond, though.

And it attracts roaming turtles who attack anything and everything that hits the water. So if I buy ducks, I gotta buy a .22 rifle and an easy chair.

Have you ever been bitten by a duck? A garter snake will hurt you way more.

Considering that Brazil is a member of BRICS, I would imagine there is significant economic activity and cooperation between the two countries.

I don't understand what you mean by "buried." Maybe Brazil is "buried" into the Chinese economy? Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

I have much stronger feelings about the actions and policies of the nation that I live in than I do about the nations that I visit. The only things I require of the nations that I visit are:

1. They honor my passport as a visa, or are not too very difficult to obtain a visa from;
2. The do not attempt to covid-gay me; and 
3. They have either locally grown mangoes or good looking prostitutes (or both).

If rampant cocaine use is overlooked, I might make an exception for one of the three.

As much as I prefer organic, pasture raised eggs over the slop you buy from factory farmed chickens, MM claims that eggs feed viruses in your body.

I would say for people suffering from chronic illness and symptoms to avoid ALL eggs, wheat, dairy, soy, GMO foods, and restaurants in general due to nasty additives, Pork is also bad due to high fat content.

It doesn’t matter how much protein and Vitamin A/D are present in eggs if they indirectly cause bodily harm as viruses release dermatoxins and neurotoxins as waste byproduct from metabolic processes.
