Seeing the human in the pic really helps show the scale of this tree. I didn't see him at first.

Very tidy, btw. Keep up the great work!

First, him post a note. People rarely zap profiles directly.

Back and forth 😉😜

Low bandwidth usage of Amethyst only shows me posts from three people.😕

I've found (for me) it's not the distance, but the drive. If I have a good view, and friendly drivers, I'm good! It can certainly eat up the day though!

If it does, we'll segway into a new paradigm. 😉

One down! 😀

I was thinking that; have you send it to someone else. Now if I could only find my things! It's all in boxes. 🤣 First night at my new address.

Leaving a disrespectful jerk forever, including an entire industry, is always sensible, no matter where competition is.

I love this idea! I might do it, even though I really can't use the totally awesome pen that's up for grabs.

Is that a lot? I'm thinking it's like 55 gallons, or something.

Start flipping tables over. They'll stop eventually.

Who do you plan to poison?

Union Strikes

My take on unions is that they should be temporary. Solve the problem, then dissolve the union (until next time). Otherwise, the union just becomes another centralized heirarchy of power that is hell-bent on exploiting everyone.

On the topic of strikes: I see them as fear based soft-terrorism. If someone disrespects you (deliberately doesn't deliver what was promised), LEAVE THEM FOREVER! Get them out of your reality.

But ... but ... but ... ... ... I don't care what someone's excuse is to strike, they are too afraid that they are incapable of anything other than sucking corporate cock. They are also afraid that God, ancestors, etc will not support their move to power and independence, so they submit to some asshole instead. It doesn't get much wimpier than that.

Can you imagine saying, "Hey disrespectful person, let me coherce you away from your own freedom so I that I can be a slave with more comfortable shackles!"?

JUST LEAVE. IT WILL TEACH THE GREEDY JERKS A LESSON! What will be corporate jerkwad's move? Hire unskilled labor? They will suffer while the skilled worker expands their horizons, and obtains a greater understanding of self worth.

Instead of begging, they could start walking with confidence of themselves, the divinity within, and the wisdom from beyond.

My ex-wife had a couple of grand mal seizures when we were together. The following hours were always rough. Keep taking care of yourself, and may you recover fully soon.

How do I like them? In my tummy! 😀

What's worse is that he's in near constant pain from a back surgery last year. That apparently doesn't stop her from pushing him. 🤣

It might be better to look for uninsurable properties, look up the owner's addy in the county's property data, and make an offer.

They may have been wanting to ditch it anyway, or recently have fallen on hard times. There will be plenty of non-responses, but it's the one that says "yes" that matters.

After moving boxes to our new address yesterday, my car decided to die. Our new residence is 2hrs from our old one. Got a tow, got a loaner vehicle from someone, made it back home by 9PM yesterday, instead of 3PM for a second trip of "plants, rocks, and books"...yes we're crazy, but our priorities are in order.

Anyway, today we frantically packed everything out of the RV (and cleaned tanks, disconnected services, etc) in preparation of the landlord's grand-daughter that is supposed to be bringing a truck with a fifth-wheel hitch.

I get a call from the landlord, "I just talked with [grand daughter], what's the story?" Well, the story was that she was supposed to be arriving any minute.

I guess she "didn't feel like it", so the landlord said he'd arrive with the truck tomorrow morning; the day of our deadline with the county.

Oh, by the way, this message is brought to you by FUCK THE STATE, Inc. Now back to our not-so-scheduled story.

I hear his wife yelling at him in the background, "No! We are getting them right now!" He protested that it was late, and he was tired, but I heard more yelling in the background, and he confirmed that he would arrive in three hours.

A few hours later, I get a voice message, "We're half way there, but found out the tags are expired and there's no insurance. I'm not going to jail again, so we're turning around!" I hear more yelling from his wife in the background, something about picking us up anyway. We have no clue what's going at this point. Then we confirmed that they are NOT coming, and are headed back.

Our home is empty, and no longer has plumbing to the outside world. Everything is sealed in boxes and packed in the loaner vehicle. Nothing else to do except make another trip of plants, rocks, but this time tools instead of books (aside from car fixing tools, which I should have had yesterday when my car died).

On the schedule: rent a car, print a trip permit, follow our home to its new place, get it level and chocked, return the loaner car, hook up sewage, electric, and water, prepare for car repairs after work so we can ditch the rental, sleep, work, buy parts and perform repair, while still moving more and more plants and rocks.

Being so fortunate isn't easy, but it's a blast!

After doing four Police Academy movies, he should be!
