keep up with many things, let alone things that are bad for us.
Sadly, Katz, in today's world, everything is bad for you. No, that is not a joke. If someone is making a profit with that device, chances are high there is something about it that is hazardous to your health and the FDA (pick an agency) has been paid off to hide the truth. Your cell phone will give you brain tumors, your smart meter can cause cancer (or at the least, severe headaches), video games have been proven to have an adverse effect on children's minds, the government is raping you, etc., etc. And those things that ARE good for you? Like sunshine, which increases your body's vitamin D output? Someone will come up with a false study showing how, if you don't wear SPS4000, you'll get skin cancer, and then they pay the CDC to back them up on their lies. What's good is bad and what's bad is good and no one will tell you the truth. And those few of us who try? We will be called wackos and some other names (birthers, climate deniers, racists, pick a word).
@Fuzzy Thunderbear my sister maintains a full time job to support her horses and small farm. She has no help so she gets up early does chores then goes to work only to come home and do more chores before she goes to bed. She makes me proud that she was able to fulfill a childhood dream of hers after most people would have given up.
Sincere congratulations to you sister. It was always a dream of my wife's to have a farm, and just having it is a full time job to us oldt pharts.
Now the latest money grab is the utility claiming that solar customers must pay their fair share of "transmission" fees when they generate more power than they use. *sigh*
I notice in the first few months after the installation of the smart meter, that my bill has not gone down, when for the past 11 years, we have proven to use less electricity during the summer months, and this damn thing says we are using more. I think I will wrap IT in a tin foil hat so the new antenna erected down the road cannot communicate with it.
Well, when we went out for chores tonight, we couldn't find Bandit (the new mommy), so I walked the entire pasture. Finally found her tangled in a fence that the neighbor apparently ripped up with his baler while mowing/baling hay and I never noticed the damage. I cut the wires, but we never managed to get the cow to stand up. After her vitamin B shots this afternoon, apparently she started eating again (perhaps too much) and now has bloat. We finally had to give up and come in the house (both of us totally exhausted), the new baby did not get an evening meal, and if Bandit doesn't get up during the night, she might be dead by sunrise. But I cannot stay up all night (as much as I want to) and there is nothing I can do to get her to stand up anyway. Pray she decides to get up and move around soon.
Time to grab some sleep now. I'm sure I will be up in only a few hours to go pull on the cow some more... G'nite TreeFam and visiting Peeps
