Autodidact living in old farmhouse (1840) on 44 acres of woods and pasture. Most of my critters now are wild ones: deer, raccoons, porcupines, skunks, weasels, squirrels, many birds including turkeys. Mother Nature keeps me sane in the insane world men have created.

Last Notes npub16galeavf7vjnyytdjr5weq7e49qezgmjr4cd97ggk0lu90trxs8scqznpy susansiens I'd like to see Trudeau hung in Maidan Square like the Soviets did to the men who massacred people in Babi Yar (part of Kiev). Alongside him, who would we like to see? Fauci? Schwab? npub16galeavf7vjnyytdjr5weq7e49qezgmjr4cd97ggk0lu90trxs8scqznpy susansiens That's what I thought. "How in hell am I going to get into my house?!?!?" And I just saw that they now make "smart" laundry appliances. I cannot imagine a life so empty that I want to check up on my washer when I'm out of the house! npub16galeavf7vjnyytdjr5weq7e49qezgmjr4cd97ggk0lu90trxs8scqznpy susansiens I watched that short clip from that shithole school in Oregon and I wish I had been that girl attacked by that boy. He would never have attacked anyone again. That said, it was very disturbing to see that no one came immediately to help her. npub16galeavf7vjnyytdjr5weq7e49qezgmjr4cd97ggk0lu90trxs8scqznpy susansiens Somewhere I just heard a guy who traveled six hours up the Amazon to meet people who have NO HEART DISEASE say everything they ate was a single ingredient. My lunch: fish, tomatoes, glass of milk. npub16galeavf7vjnyytdjr5weq7e49qezgmjr4cd97ggk0lu90trxs8scqznpy susansiens Omigoddess, how many rogue tomato plants have I had? I put them in a glass or jar and cover them with water. You want them to ferment, and when there's mold on top of the water, you drain off the yukky stuff and put them on paper (like your coffee filters) to dry. I don't know why this is recommended as opposed to just washing them except you want all the pectin off the seeds. ??? Do you keep your seeds in the freezer? I learned this from a woman I used to buy seedlings from. npub16galeavf7vjnyytdjr5weq7e49qezgmjr4cd97ggk0lu90trxs8scqznpy susansiens And do you know if it's still considered child abuse in the EU to give these fake "milks" to children? npub16galeavf7vjnyytdjr5weq7e49qezgmjr4cd97ggk0lu90trxs8scqznpy susansiens For some reason one day last week everyone was saying 2015, 2015. Are you aware of something that happened in 2015 specifically that would make people talk about 2015? The liberals lived through 2008 and its aftermath because it didn't really affect them, but something happened in 2015 / 2016? that really fried their brains. And I don't mean just Trump's election. npub16galeavf7vjnyytdjr5weq7e49qezgmjr4cd97ggk0lu90trxs8scqznpy susansiens That's a laugh, having that nonsense directed at me. And I would simply call Russiagate a symptom of Trump Derangement Syndrome. I should begin writing my analysis of what happened to liberals in the mid-teens because I think it's fairly clear and accurate. npub16galeavf7vjnyytdjr5weq7e49qezgmjr4cd97ggk0lu90trxs8scqznpy susansiens Neither did I, but this Blue-Anon garbage got tossed my way one day and I had no idea what it was supposed to mean. And of course when I asked what it meant I heard nothing, so when someone isn't willing to explain themselves I just put their comment in the trash. No, I am not fond of Democrats. npub16galeavf7vjnyytdjr5weq7e49qezgmjr4cd97ggk0lu90trxs8scqznpy susansiens What is this crap about Blue-Anons? The only stuff I read and reference is HISTORY. Yes, it's not everyone's history, but it's the history of the United States where many of us live. And history helps you understand how we got to this point. npub16galeavf7vjnyytdjr5weq7e49qezgmjr4cd97ggk0lu90trxs8scqznpy susansiens Is this what happens in Michigan? When my sorta partner was in community college all anyone did was serious studying and clinicals. The unserious were drunken nursing students of the female persuasion who made me really regret going to the graduation ceremony. npub16galeavf7vjnyytdjr5weq7e49qezgmjr4cd97ggk0lu90trxs8scqznpy susansiens Doesn't the person understand that teachers have time to indoctrinate because those who rule us have decided that reading, writing, and math are irrelevant? npub16galeavf7vjnyytdjr5weq7e49qezgmjr4cd97ggk0lu90trxs8scqznpy susansiens What are you supposed to do when assholes stand in front of your vehicle? There used to be a kid in our neighborhood who liked to deliberately run out in front of cars to frighten the drivers. My sister encountered him one day and drove right toward him so that he ran back to the sidewalk; bet he never did that again. npub16galeavf7vjnyytdjr5weq7e49qezgmjr4cd97ggk0lu90trxs8scqznpy susansiens Ah, here we go, a TIM who can spew rabid hate (who knew?): "A threat to “hunt down” Russian 'propagandists' which flagged an action 'next week' and was made by a Ukrainian military spokesperson, should not be dismissed just because of its over-the-top presentation, a senior Russian official has argued. "On Wednesday, Sarah Ashton-Cirillo, who leads the Ukrainian Territorial Defense Forces’ purported outreach to English-speaking audiences, made some ominous predictions regarding Russia. “ 'Next week, the teeth of the Russian devils will gnash ever harder, and their rabid mouths will foam in uncontrollable frenzy as the world will see a favorite Kremlin propagandist pay for their crimes,' she [sic] said. “ 'Russia’s war criminal propagandists will all be hunted down, and justice will be served as we in Ukraine are led on this mission by faith in God, liberty and complete liberation,' she [sic] pledged. "Ashton-Cirillo, a trans woman [sic] who made headlines in the US in 2021 with a story of her [sic] infiltration of the American right-wing group Proud Boys, was given the spokesperson position in Ukraine in early August." npub16galeavf7vjnyytdjr5weq7e49qezgmjr4cd97ggk0lu90trxs8scqznpy susansiens I think it's individual dogs. When I was taking a training course they recommended raisins for treats, then vets said raisins were toxic to dogs. Ditto grapes, and I had a dog who loved grapes. It's probably similar to people and has a lot to do with gut health and tolerances. My dog Pascal can eat anything, but he has enough drool in his mouth (sign of good health) to dissolve a safety pin (dogs' guts can actually dissolve safety pins). If you ever come to Maine for a visit, I'll make a vanilla cake and eschew the chocolate! npub16galeavf7vjnyytdjr5weq7e49qezgmjr4cd97ggk0lu90trxs8scqznpy susansiens How interesting! I make an incredible chocolate cake which is out of this world (Dekoven: OOTW) and my German shepherd of yore totally disagrees with you about chocolate ice cream. We made hand-cranked chocolate ice cream for my birthday, put the tub out in the cold, and Aurore managed to open it up and eat the whole thing! She also ate one of my chocolate cake layers when it fell on the floor. I know chocolate is supposed to be toxic for dogs, but apparently it wasn't for her. (Not the same as feeding boxed chocs to little dogs.) npub16galeavf7vjnyytdjr5weq7e49qezgmjr4cd97ggk0lu90trxs8scqznpy susansiens What are people screeching for? This is the worst performance I have ever seen, and I've seen some doozies from community theater. npub16galeavf7vjnyytdjr5weq7e49qezgmjr4cd97ggk0lu90trxs8scqznpy susansiens WTF are you talking about? The destruction of Libya was during OBAMA'S reign. Are you sober? npub16galeavf7vjnyytdjr5weq7e49qezgmjr4cd97ggk0lu90trxs8scqznpy susansiens I strongly suggest you read Whitney Webb. Israel is not just another U.S. military base, it's more like we're an Israeli military base. How do you explain the fact that over 20 states require a loyalty oath to Israel? We are so interwoven with Israel it's unbelievable, and not least because of the influence and power of the Jewish mob. npub16galeavf7vjnyytdjr5weq7e49qezgmjr4cd97ggk0lu90trxs8scqznpy susansiens Sorry, I think she won the U.S. Senate because of her coziness with Israel which gave her a lot of money and made sure she got the votes. No, she will never be held accountable. And it's sad that people look at the monster and believe her PR. npub16galeavf7vjnyytdjr5weq7e49qezgmjr4cd97ggk0lu90trxs8scqznpy susansiens I point out the "treason" because Hillary would demand the death penalty if anyone else did it. And I always wondered how she got elected to the U.S. Senate seemingly overnight. The coziness between the U.S. and Israeli surveillance communities is very interesting. Anyone who believes the bullshit you're pointing out is just about hopeless. npub16galeavf7vjnyytdjr5weq7e49qezgmjr4cd97ggk0lu90trxs8scqznpy susansiens And you left out Hillary committing treason by sharing U.S. intelligence information with the Israeli government. I wondered how in hell she became a NY senator and that answered the question. By far her worst crime was the destruction of Libya which Senator Eric Brakey spoke about on the floor of the Maine Senate; I can't believe Maine has a state senator who knows there are open slave markets in Libya. Obama was not in favor of Clinton's Libya venture but indulge the loser, why not? Who cares if lots of people die? Plus the Clintons are fucking murderers, so rotten they kill anyone who possibly threatens them. Ron Brown was being called to testify and so they offed the entire plane he was on. These people's identity is tied up with the Pedo Party. If you don't love the shits they love, they're afraid they will disappear because their identity is now shattered. So much for their being critical of "identity" politics. npub16galeavf7vjnyytdjr5weq7e49qezgmjr4cd97ggk0lu90trxs8scqznpy susansiens Nothing like videotaping yourself torturing a toddler. npub16galeavf7vjnyytdjr5weq7e49qezgmjr4cd97ggk0lu90trxs8scqznpy susansiens This is my point. Dr West does not live out in the real world, he does not get his hands dirty doing his job, he does not struggle to pay the rent, he lives in an ivory tower. I have no doubt he is sincere regarding working people, but what does he know of working people's lives? npub16galeavf7vjnyytdjr5weq7e49qezgmjr4cd97ggk0lu90trxs8scqznpy susansiens Warmed-over death talking -- perfect. npub16galeavf7vjnyytdjr5weq7e49qezgmjr4cd97ggk0lu90trxs8scqznpy susansiens What is sighthound? She has enormous eyes! npub16galeavf7vjnyytdjr5weq7e49qezgmjr4cd97ggk0lu90trxs8scqznpy susansiens In photos at least, he looks the same color as my sorrel horse, but I have found that photos tend to saturate color, especially from cell phones. Josie has white knee socks on every leg but she has a pinched-in waist I've never seen on a hound. She looks like a whippet and a beagle had a puppy! npub16galeavf7vjnyytdjr5weq7e49qezgmjr4cd97ggk0lu90trxs8scqznpy susansiens They called Josie's coat (similar to Dog) chestnut, the perfect adjective. I keep thinking about taking this computer to the fix-it guys; they can switch in a stainless steel hard drive, put in updates, then I'd be able to upload photos. npub16galeavf7vjnyytdjr5weq7e49qezgmjr4cd97ggk0lu90trxs8scqznpy susansiens I've been very concerned about certain neocons being gung-ho for nuclear war. People have written that the Pedocrats will do anything to hold onto power; does that include nuclear war? npub16galeavf7vjnyytdjr5weq7e49qezgmjr4cd97ggk0lu90trxs8scqznpy susansiens Is there something weird about me in that I have never had a Tater Tot? I keep seeing recipes that include them and I have no desire to ever taste them. I like real potatoes! npub16galeavf7vjnyytdjr5weq7e49qezgmjr4cd97ggk0lu90trxs8scqznpy susansiens Maybe the hot flashes created the clown rouge on his cheeks. npub16galeavf7vjnyytdjr5weq7e49qezgmjr4cd97ggk0lu90trxs8scqznpy susansiens We had a lot of snow so had a snowplow come to plow the drive, and the dude was so dumb he started without knowing what he was doing. He plowed up my old peony bed with a Sarah Bernhardt and a Festiva Maxima in it, and would you believe it? Sorta partner put it back together and the peonies survived! We also have some free herbaceous peonies we added, then one Bartzella and two Scrumdiddlyumptious Ito peonies. I use link stakes to hold up the herbaceous peonies. They still flop but generally stay off the ground. They are my absolute favorite perennial flower, so over the top. npub16galeavf7vjnyytdjr5weq7e49qezgmjr4cd97ggk0lu90trxs8scqznpy susansiens When I was in Hong Kong in '68, our guide had learned English by going to the movies, and his English was superb (he was also busy reading Mao's Little Red Book). Admittedly, Hong Kong was filled with people who spoke English, but I don't think you would need a decade. My exchange student became quite fluent within about six months. If you can listen to English speakers, I think that would do the trick. And I envy you your bilingualism. npub16galeavf7vjnyytdjr5weq7e49qezgmjr4cd97ggk0lu90trxs8scqznpy susansiens You think Gotti was the only Italian mafioso? You're getting funnier and funnier. Though your Russophobic crap is not at all amusing, just more moronic Democrat talking points. npub16galeavf7vjnyytdjr5weq7e49qezgmjr4cd97ggk0lu90trxs8scqznpy susansiens This is the funniest thing I've read all week! I've still got that bridge over the East River if you're interested. npub16galeavf7vjnyytdjr5weq7e49qezgmjr4cd97ggk0lu90trxs8scqznpy susansiens And you put your finger on what's wrong with Trump. He does openly what all the other gangsters do in the dark. npub16galeavf7vjnyytdjr5weq7e49qezgmjr4cd97ggk0lu90trxs8scqznpy susansiens "All politicians cheat." But so hard to get people to accept facts when it's pleasanter living in magical thinking land. npub16galeavf7vjnyytdjr5weq7e49qezgmjr4cd97ggk0lu90trxs8scqznpy susansiens I'm looking at doggies since one dog is not enough. There's Poppy in Memphis who has one blue eye and one brown eye, and she's in foster care having a great time. Then there's Josie in Portland, Maine, extremely fearful of humans, living in the shelter; she looks somewhat like Dog. The latter rescue said they would be willing to reduce or eliminate her adoption fee because I sound so perfect, or, rather, Pascal sounds so perfect (Josie loves other dogs). I should probably go the easy route, but on the other hand I am extremely patient with dogs (not so patient with stupid humans at this age!) and I know Josie's prospects are not good for finding the right home. npub16galeavf7vjnyytdjr5weq7e49qezgmjr4cd97ggk0lu90trxs8scqznpy susansiens I'm sure the British Spinsters know all about this: https://mailchi.mp/crowdjustice/stonehenge-1484677h?e=7b49955f53 You can no longer drive your car, but we need a giant new motorway! npub16galeavf7vjnyytdjr5weq7e49qezgmjr4cd97ggk0lu90trxs8scqznpy susansiens The advice to organic gardeners here is to add bioavailable calcium to ALL nightshade family members. It also helps prevent hollow heart in potatoes. npub16galeavf7vjnyytdjr5weq7e49qezgmjr4cd97ggk0lu90trxs8scqznpy susansiens Isn't one factor in blossom end rot lack of calcium? I put ground eggshells in each hole I put a tomato plant in, then scatter additional shell around the plants as they grow. I have calcium-rich water, but apparently the calcium in that medium is not accessible to plants or humans. npub16galeavf7vjnyytdjr5weq7e49qezgmjr4cd97ggk0lu90trxs8scqznpy susansiens You made me think about the young women I could immediately identify as TRAs in Portland, Maine. I realized they're trying to look like the middle-aged AGPs they support, and unfortunately they were succeeding. However ... they can stop at any time and start looking like regular women. npub16galeavf7vjnyytdjr5weq7e49qezgmjr4cd97ggk0lu90trxs8scqznpy susansiens And the corollary is: Most Americans think the power and majesty of Nature are supposed to be viewed from their cars on a trip to a national park. npub16galeavf7vjnyytdjr5weq7e49qezgmjr4cd97ggk0lu90trxs8scqznpy susansiens I don't automatically associate the hair and piercings with trans activism, but once it becomes toilet-bowl hair, black things sticking out of someone's nose, over-short and over-tight clothing, bits of flesh sticking out in various places (which reminds one of the TIMs), then I do start hearing the alarms. npub16galeavf7vjnyytdjr5weq7e49qezgmjr4cd97ggk0lu90trxs8scqznpy susansiens After the plant growing through concrete, you would really appreciate one of my botany's teachers statement about trees and plants. "You know how superior you think you are because you have legs?" he said. "Now try pushing ONE of your cells through granite which is what plants are capable of doing." npub16galeavf7vjnyytdjr5weq7e49qezgmjr4cd97ggk0lu90trxs8scqznpy susansiens Remember that laws such as these were instituted because of missionaries. All it took to turn my mother into a fire-breathing dragon was to mention missionaries. They would exploit people, undoubtedly the males were sexually molesting local women and children, meanwhile talking about how they and only they knew the truth! I had three friends who grew up in China in missionary households; all three of them thought they were morally superior to us ordinary mortals. npub16galeavf7vjnyytdjr5weq7e49qezgmjr4cd97ggk0lu90trxs8scqznpy susansiens That's what I grew up calling gravel. I remember walking on it barefoot! Ouchy, ouchy! I've heard that lavender does quite well in places like Montana that get extremely cold ... but are also very dry. There is a woman here in Maine with a huge lavender farm; that would be a fun visit because she invites people to just come and sit and enjoy. npub16galeavf7vjnyytdjr5weq7e49qezgmjr4cd97ggk0lu90trxs8scqznpy susansiens I so envy you! I love lavender but one has to be careful planting it here as my understanding is that it hates wet feet. Some people have said it does best planted in a rock wall. I've been thinking about gravel paths; there was an article by the gardener in our local free newspaper. She said to dig down 5 to 6 inches and she didn't mention a base. What do you call gravel in the U.K.? Gravel here in Maine is glacial till, very small, whereas in Ohio gravel was crushed rock, about an inch big. npub16galeavf7vjnyytdjr5weq7e49qezgmjr4cd97ggk0lu90trxs8scqznpy susansiens I've heard that old trope for years, listening to a prostitute explain that it's just like typing. I could not imagine what she thought typing was like, but as I was a typeSETTER at the time I found it a bizarre comparison. Typing is not an intimate activity but I've generally found sex to be. With our porn-saturated cultures we can hardly be surprised at the naivete of the young. I am saddened by the fact that they will learn and it will be painful. npub16galeavf7vjnyytdjr5weq7e49qezgmjr4cd97ggk0lu90trxs8scqznpy susansiens I feel very bad for ordinary people, but with the snotty superiority I've seen displayed by western Europe and its offshoots (the U.S., Canada, Australia, and New Zealand), the willingness to kill for other nations' resources, sometimes I don't know what to feel as western Europe seems intent on going down the drain. npub16galeavf7vjnyytdjr5weq7e49qezgmjr4cd97ggk0lu90trxs8scqznpy susansiens A lot of the U.S. is just the same. You can find a job in Portland, Maine, but the rents are insane. Decades ago a former nun in Hancock County, Maine, characterized it as a third-world country. The natives are often dirt-poor and every summer they get invaded by people with lots of money. Sister Lucy started an organization when she found old women dying in their homes for lack of heat, and though she is elderly and retired, the organization -- H.O.M.E. -- continues, building houses, supplying firewood, growing food, running a daycare and various educational programs, a thrift shop, etc. Even here in rural Maine I don't consider rents reasonable. A lot of people live with their parents or their parents help them build a house on the same land. There's a house locally that is always lived in by the grandmother and mother; when the grandmother dies, the daughter moves in with her mother, always passed down through the women.
