Accept I’m just like you, and we all get pissed off at times.
I go out the back garden, play with Carly Dog…what stress?
Worry about what?
Occasionally maybe tempted to piss off my agitator…but I prefer the gentler diplomatic touch.
I love this place, but really…you are correct in what you have implied.
Perhaps, this needs to be looked at in a broader perspective as Paul L has already asked the community to consider.
This is what I mean my friend, and i apologise if it’s not easy to understand.
The way we talk and respond to each other, all be it written. Sometimes, is open to context.
I’ve tried to explain too; when you can’t see context by looking at somebody’s facial expressions, whatever they have written in text is widely prone to misinterpretation,
Even in my 1st aid course recently (this week), they claimed that 70% of human communication is by body labguage and expressions… so you feckin look directly at them, (bystanders, non breathing unconcious casualty) address them by name and tell them to get the FA kit, defibrillater or phone quiksmart.
Or they’ll just stand around being useless.
Sort of went off on tangent there.
But. What I think, for what it’s worth, we mainly just have different views and we like bashing them around. Almost evolutionary in away…
Then occasionally something lines up and consensus/reason/proof is agreed/consented.
Now, in a world that makes no sense any more, Sunflowers.
Yup, very familiar with that thread and I stand by my contributions to it. I also think that blanketing everyone’s responses to what Sophie was posting as “leading to a conclusion of hostility when often the proponent’s goal was actually to help and advise the OP” is absolute BS.
Now, back to this situation. What are you trying to say Coop? I was too harsh? I was wrong to say what I did? I was out of line? Immediately jumping in to placate, smooth the waters, emphasizing the absence of all the non verbals when communicating in a medium like this etc etc etc reminds me of a scared kid in their bed at night listening to their parents screaming at each other, throwing things etc. Not needed. If you think I was out of line just say so.
Indeed - the lack of perceived body language and voice tone is a big deal. If anything, I think some increased care on the part of the writer is thus called for, picturing how things could be taken, not just how the writer is thinking; the end product being a little more precision in language.
Coop, yeah - there are many times when I have to revise what I put down, because it’s not going to be true in all cases, or needs better qualification, etc. (And it’s amazing how different people can be, so we need to make allowances… ) .
T-bone steak last night. The weather is still cold enough to cook over the fire. Yesterday’s breakfast was 3 pasture fed chicken eggs. But I got 4 yolks. A double yoker! cooked with 3 rashers of bacon in last nights lamb chop fat.
I’m enjoying being at home in the countryside and in full control of meals with wholefood cooking at home.
Have you considered meal prepping for your time in school.
We bought a portable fridge / freezer so I could send some meals for my husband just to heat and eat on the road…maybe you could do that with your ribs and clean sausage or lamb…,?
you had me in suspense over those different BP readings! Yes, take chillin’ with a good read in your wonderful new garden any day of the week
Girl, is that like red chili pepper flakes on those ribs? omg I would be in hospital is I tackled that, lol. You still ok eating a big spice like that?
The pic of them ribs looks yummy as heck
double yolks in each egg, well darn, you are a winner
I can just tell how much you love your wonderful homestead country environment! I read it in every word ya type about it and every cool pic turned illustration you post on it!
FB where ya stayin’ again when ya go into the city for your ‘appointed’ amt of time when you have to work? I can’t remember…I know there was food issues and cooking troubles etc. but I can’t remember what your ‘city set up’ is, drawing a blank on it again.
@Azi, a portable fridge/freezer. Like to be kept in a vehicle? just curious on size and all, got a little pic of that gadget? would love to see it thanks
------------------so food flipped a bit on me. I went first meal chicken. Yea the ribeye and possible side of shrimp had 0 draw to me. I sautee’d up 2 big ol’ skinless boneless chick breasts, added a big ol fat wedge of butter and just loved them. What the body was asking for and second meal I thought would be a higher draw since chick doesn’t ‘hold’ me near like beef…but nope. No desire for a second big meal. I split a thin pork loin cut with hubby. I made 1/2 of it ‘his way’ which is tons of bbq sauce etc., ick to me of course and the other 1/2 I cut into small pork medallions and fried in a pan of good ol’ brown butter. total yum.
but I will hit the 2 small ribeyes today. gotta use them so will hold off til hungry enough to really want them.
I am in that zc flip zone…I ‘feel like eating lighter’ and ‘less’ and will do that until I get more rav again. Possibly due to weather change hitting, I SO FEEL the hot weather leaving, so FEEL that darn little nip in the air now so will just eat as I want. Always do that but I know I am in that lighter eat zone, for how long, who knows but meal focus is changing a bit for me.
darn I thought I took pic of my pork medallions but heck I can’t find it HA
sure can’t take another pic, they are long since eaten LOL
ZC ON STRONG EVERYONE!! Keep the ZC focus in our challenge thread!
