Absolutely. I miss my parents every single day. My kids miss their grandparents. Parents or any relative’s death is not for our gain. They sacrificed the majority of their lives for us and we owe them love and support and grandchildren (if possible so they can spoil them, send them home, and go to bed 😆). We make our own way, embrace every moment we have with them, and we ease their burdens toward the end.

@FloppingAces Damn.

@BeefMaps I love this! We travel 40 mins to a farm stand with flowers and honey/honeycomb products. I’d travel for fresh food like this over going to the grocery store.

More of this!

[SAVE BEEF 🇺🇸 BeefMaps.com @BeefMaps]

A dairy farm outside Belgrade, Montana put a stand out by the road in May, and nobody works it.

You come in, pick out what you want, add up your own total, and pay before you drive off. Cash, Venmo, or a tap.

Nate Brown, who grows the vegetables, says it has surpassed all of their expectations and they are restocking more often than they planned.

The family has farmed dairy since 2000 and got into vegetables about 15 years ago. The stand sells squash, carrots, greens and cheese.

Ashley lives a few miles away. She says it is knowing where her food comes from and supporting her neighbors.

USDA counts farm stores and farm stands at more than one billion dollars in direct to consumer sales.

@educator4ever36 I didn’t take the mom’s post anywhere. As a mom, I replied to your comment with a genuine question.

[Brooke C Amador ’12 @brookecat]

@educator4ever36 We homeschool now.

[Brooke C Amador ’12 @brookecat]

@educator4ever36 What happens when it’s the school telling you that your kid is wonderful and smart and needs to be in a special magnet school? What if the parents know their kid and you don’t. And we “have” to defer to the school, IEP or whatever?

@AOLSupportHelp @ZiffyKat @marklevinshow And your mother’s maiden name and your entire SS#. Just because.

@LadyAliBooks Treasure Island! Yes!

@BowtiedQueenBee I’m inspired and intimidated so I’m jumping in. I have no idea what this can do and I know that I have to find out!

Where you get your pork is so important if you care about the aninals your consuming. Acron Bluff farms is a family doing it right.

The pork industry can be so incredibly dirty, and not in the farming way. Most pork found in grocery stores are animals raised in "hog houses" who never see the light of day, and are pumped full of antibiotics because of the filthy conditions they're living in. Most of the pork industry in America is actually owned by China as well. Not to mention the literal lake of feces out back.

Support ethical, support local, support the people doing the work & who share your values. Support farms like Acorn Bluff.

We started our farm as the seventh consecutive generation of Todd's farming in Louisa County, Iowa.

Here's our story.

For this age, in my new-to-homeschooling opinion, all you need is @HannahWardEdu for phonics/reading and https://t.co/QyYjES27ZO. You can make mathlabs hands-on with goldfish or whatever but it is great on it’s own. Both free and Hannah has an option to buy hard copies. Have construction paper and little kids scissors, a glue stick, colors, just normal crafty things, and access to the outdoors.

@DefAMustRead @st_louis_stan @Selenite I have three young sons (9, 8,, 6) and they are craving adventure books! I’ll pay for a surprise care package! We’re reading Old Yeller now and have read the Boxcar Children series. And, your library is looking amazing!

@realpeteyb123 @SecKennedy We bought formula from Europe for three of our four when we needed to supplement. This is outrageous.

[Brooke C Amador ’12 @brookecat]

@BowTiedBroke Just did this. Thank you

I watched a top cancer hospital use my mom as a lab rat. I didn’t know any better. In and out she went. This trial, that trial and “you’re saving the lives of others.”

In her hospital room over a few days, I watched her, held her, did all the things. This overnight stuff was new to me. I begged for pain management for her and they said they had to talk to her teams because it could keep her out of the trial. I told them I don’t give two shits about a trial. Look at her. Listen to her.

Call the family. We can intubate. Blah blah blah the trial. F all of you.

NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOUR TRIAL. HELP MY MOM. NOW. It’s not for her. Get her help.

How they could stand there and watch her and hear her and sigh and shrug is beyond me. I will never forget that.

Monday morning her team walked in, looked at her and the lady dr said well I didn’t expect to see you this morning.

I wanted to punch her. And she knew it.

I would have given her ivermectin etc and she would have taken it had we known. She was an OR nurse, never took a flu shot. Refused C as long as she could.

I will never forget.

[Brooke C Amador ’12 @brookecat]

I’ll add this to our list. We’re listening to Old Yeller in the car right now. On deck we have Trumpet of the Swan, Where the Red Fern Grows, etc. What lighthearted book/series can I mix in? We’ve read all of the boxcar children and charlottes web. I have the Chocolate Touch from grade school haha.

[Brooke C Amador ’12 @brookecat]

There is a bigger picture. This is worth the read.

I believe Trump is protecting America(ns) beyond what we know, see, or could imagine, or care to think about. Yes we’re paying the price for it. And, maybe, it’s worth it so our children and our children’s children, etc, have the safety, security, economy they otherwise would not have if Trump didn’t make certain decisions.

[Matthew Marsden @matthewdmarsden]

I know this is a controversial opinion, but I have thought this for a while.

Most people, even his fans, will say that Donald Trump has a healthy ego.

I argued before he was elected that if someone said he couldn’t do something, then he will do it just to prove people wrong.

I think that is what he did with abortion. “You say I am not pro life? I will be the most pro life President ever.”

With that in mind, probably the biggest thing he has claimed is that he does not want any more foreign wars. He has bragged about stopping them. So even if it was just based on ego… why would he just go and start a war with Iran?

Well, what else has he always said? “ I will never let Iran get a nuke.”

So… what if both those things are true? That he doesn’t want any new foreign wars but he KNEW that Iran was going to get a nuke?

The truth is that there have been a LOT of potential attacks that the intelligence services have known about and stopped that we never knew about, and never will. That is a reality.

I do not have any inside information on this, and most of the people who claim they do, dont either.

But doesn’t it make sense, even if you hate Trump and think he is a egomaniac, that he compromised one of his core views ( no new wars) because Iran was a threat and he had to deal with it?

What if he knows that he stopped something and that is why he has no regrets? That thwarting some kind of attack was more important than the election or optics?
