I love pork, but have been worried now that I know they are using mRNA vaccines in pigs. I need to be very careful with buying pork anymore.
I need to follow a few pig raisers to see if I could pull off pigs where I live. Once I think it is doable, then I need to convince my husband that it is a good idea. That will be even more work.
I've already gotten rabbits and had my first litter 4 weeks ago. I had to get rid of chickens because I developed a lung allergy and couldn't breathe. I need some more ability to raise animals since I'm keto. Pigs, sheep (probably hair sheep because I don't want to deal with shaving the wool), or goats? What is easiest? What can I convince my husband to get on board with?
I have 4.5 acres usuable to work with (technically 6.5 acres, but ~1 acre is swamp land on the other side of the river and ~1 acre is the bottom of the river) and already have a barn, but it has coal in it for heat. With the coal dust, I don't know if it is good to put animals inside or not.

Beautiful.
It wouldn't work where I live because we frequently get 60+ mph winds in the winter with wind blowing sideways. We have to have sides to our garages, but I love the look.
Or even better, never create a twitter account in the first place. Once you've put data on a platform, does it ever really go away? When you delete your posts, are they really deleted from that computer in the cloud?
Obviously you can make your own, but Answers in Genesis (answersingenesis.org) and the Institute for Creation Research (icr.org)m both have lots of amazing resources, especially if you are interested in the science that supports creation and a young Earth. There are books and videos you can buy, but there are also lots of free articles and short videos and both have podcasts you can follow.
My eldest son started Genesis Club because our youth group changed to a less challenging curriculum due to some of the kids complaining the old one was too hard. Because none of the kids attending drove and we live a ways out of town, it was too hard for people to drop off and pickup the kids, so most of the parents stay. Now everyone enjoys it so much, some of the parents come even if their kids can't make it. It is a great multi-generational learning experience.
I have 2 teenage boys who I have homeschooled. My eldest is a near genius. I have homeschooled him since 3rd grade. He is heading to college (Liberty University) with full tuition covered and accepted into the honors program (35 out of 36 on ACT). My younger son has down syndrome. I started homeschooling him 2 years ago when the teacher I trusted left for a different position. Homeschooling the two has been so different, but good for them and for me and my relationship with them.
Welcome. I got my degree in electrical engineering, but now my husband and I own a motocycle/ATV dealership and I mostly do the accounting and homeschool my 2 boys.
I also am into Christian apologetics. We host a group that my son and his friends call "Genesis Club" where we study Christian apologetics and Creation science. We have mostly used Answers in Genesis's "Masters Apologetics Class". It has been a wonderful experience. I've also taught kids at our church about this subject (including last Wednesday) and my husband taught on the subject this morning.
I'm looking forward to hearing more from you.
In days 1-6, God stretched out the heavens. The stretching of space caused the red shift that scientists see and think means the universe is expanding. Interestingly, though, there is zero red shift inside of approximately 6,000 light years, which just happens to be the age suggested by the Bible.
Barns are wonderful, but it is really easy to fill the space when you have it.
Unfossilized tissue has been found in dinosaur bones.
“It smelled just like one of the cadavers we had in the lab who had been treated with chemotherapy before he died,”
That was the description that Mary Schweitzer gave to describe the odor that was coming from a Tyrannosaurus Rex (T.rex) skeleton that was excavated from the Hell Creek Formation in Montana. Schweitzer was working as a researcher at the Museum of the Rockies in Bozeman, Montana and was examining the medullary bone of that skeleton when an assistant put a fragment of the bone in dilute acid to clean deposits off. What they found in the decalcified bone was soft stretchy material something not expected in solid mineral deposits. This led them to decalcify other bone samples, what they ended up finding was a soft stretchy fibrous matrix that was inside of the bone when the T.rex was alive.

Now that people are looking, they are finding lots of supposedly ancient fossils with soft tissue still in them. Soft tissue can't last more than hundreds of thousands of years, even in the most optimal conditions. I guess those dinosaur fossils aren't as old as we're told and the stories and pictures around the globe of dinosaurs/dragons are based on people really seeing dinosaurs.
It is almost like the Bible was right.

These are my strawberries (from last year, since mine are barely coming back to life right now due to cold (25 F last night and >3 feet of snow 2.5 weeks ago. I started with 12 plants and they have taken over half of my bed. I love them, though.
I only eat them in tiny quantities because I have been keto for 4+ years, but the rest of my family loves them and I break down and eat 1-3 when I'm picking them for the rest of my family. My strawberries are much smaller than most store strawberries, but they are also much more flavorful. I find small strawberries to usually be the most flavorful.

Make the government irrelavent.
I'm trying to get where I am producing most of my food. I'm definitely not there yet, but I'm making lots of progress. If I can convince my husband to let me get sheep or goats, we'll be in really good shape.
It isn't really a surprise to those paying attention, but more evidence has come out about how not only did the SARS-CoV2 virus originate in a Chinese lab, but that the US government funded it and Fauci lied to Congress under oath (where are the charges?).
It also suggests that the lab has much more dangerous man-made pathogens that could be released accidentally or intentionally.

It's hard (impossible?) to fix the government when the electorate are so uninformed and so easily misled and the media is covering for rather than exposing the government's crimes.
I recently got some of those reflective triangles for my & my son's road kits.
This winter my teenage son slid partially of our dirt road and got stuck. A neighbor stopped to try to help him, mostly blocking the road on the hill. Some idiot, driving way faster than safe for the conditions, crested the hill at a high rate of speed with no where to go on the road. I was on my way to help him and saw the car barreling towards my son and his car and thought he was going to be killed. Luckily the driver drove off the road into the deep snow and missed him. I spent the next hour sitting at the top of the hill telling traffic to slow down and warning them about the road being blocked until my son was pulled out.
If we'd had the emergency triangles, we could put them out and it would let traffic know to slow down.

If the temperature gets higher than 70s, or even upper 70s, I think it is too hot. ;)
I guess I'm out of luck. If the weather report is right, it should be clearer on Saturday night.
I also love living in the country. I can see deer on the other side of the river, from my house more days than not. They are far enough away, that my cell phone pictures don't make good pictures though. I have gotten some good turkey pictures, though.
Calvin Coolidge was a very underrated president.
Because you can do add-ons, I have looked at prices for add-ons to see what is typical. I try to pick the more expensive cuts for my box and if I want the cheaper cuts, I do them as an add-on.
Tonight and tomorrow night are the peak nights for watching the Lyrid meteor shower. For me, it is already below freezing so I don't think I'll get to see them. It will be warmer tomorrow night, so I might brave the cold tomorrow night.
