If vegans love vegetables so much...how come they buy products that try to make them taste like meat ?

Neighbor wanted to share a can of chili so he brought one out to the workshop and set in on the woodstove to warm up.
When it felt hot enough he went to open it. I noticed that the ends of the can were bulging and said that that he might better wa .... "pop" ...
Face & hands got a good blistering.
btw, this is a guy who believes that firewood stacked in the shade and/or out of the wind, and with inches of snow on it is 'seasoning' because it's been cut down. Over ten years I've given him half a dozen tarps. Never a one was squandered on covering a stack or pile of firewood.

An ex GF that I declared feelings for asked if I'd help her buy a house, because rent is 'too much'. I'd aready given her a car as a hint to get lost. (second time in 20 yrs.)
She kept showing me pics of $90k houses and offered to pay me $500/mo for ten yrs, as though taxes and insurance would be more affordable than rent and I'd be ok with 2/3 return. Yeah, like she'd have enough to pay me back. I guess she thinks the car will last ten years, or that I'll keep paying for insurance on it once I find the title to sign it over. (been a year and a half looking)
Another ex had roomed with a younger brother for several years after hubby died. She was ~60 and he ~55 when they bought a house in his name with minimum down-payment. He's was a trucker and made good bucks, was 10 yrs younger than me and looked 10 yrs older, a hard partyer if there ever was one.
The lender insisted on mtg ins, assuring that their butt was covered in the event of default. I guess they thought they'd both live for 30 yrs and pay the house off. Why they never considered adding 'credit life' ins at their age is beyond me. He died 3 yrs into the mortgage leaving her a $125k balance to cover on hubby's $1k/mo pension. She could have looked me up for advice before they signed up. She found me after he died instead.
If you think a friendship is over just loan them some $$. They'll make sure it is. :laughing:

Age based Homestead credit. Reduces your primary homestead property assessment by $X which just happens to be more than my property is assessed at. Takes the assessment to below $0, which makes the tax bill $0

Likewise a microwave is not recommended for drying a wet cat.

Note to self: No matter how well you plan your cuts, a tree CAN fall uphill.

The very first thing anyone going to cut a tree should do is....stand at the base of the tree from different sides and look straight up and see which way it naturally leans or will want to fall...they all have a preference...!
