Thanks! That's what I was going for.😎

I just adopted a Pomeranian dog yesterday. I've shared a home with a Spitz dog (Siberian Husky) before. These dogs need a job. They LOVE to pull. So I was looking for a tiny dog cart online, and all I got for pages and pages was carts for me to cart the dog around. This says something about our culture that isn't pleasant.

I'll build the little guy a cart, probably out of a kid's toy. He can bring the mail up the driveway every day. That solves the problem for the dog, but not for our culture.

@ILoveAmericaNews

Yeah, and I agree wholeheartedly with the sentiment. I wish his tweets (X-es?) weren't so cringy, though. The ability to use grammar correctly goes a long way toward implying competence. He looks like he couldn't pass 8th grade English, which doesn't exactly inspire confidence.

We live in the age of body positivity. Shave it and own it!

How do you figure big business lead to customers for small business?

I'm thinking obstacles will be removed for big businesses but not for little family operations.

I do agree that investment benefits everyone, but a very small minority has a BILLION (with a B!!) to invest in order to reap the benefit of expedited approvals. Doesn't that leave the little guy twitching in the dust?

@ILoveAmericaNews

Not exactly a move to support small businesses, huh? But I guess it's a step in the right direction...

So... it's not often that I attract the flamers, so I have a question for the people who do:

How long until they get bored and go away if I don't respond? I REALLY don't want to ruin my perfect record of never blocking anyone.

Ranger stations are taxpayer-funded. You aren't stealing in that case. You're recouping your investment.

Not being concerned with society is irresponsible at BEST. How selfish! That's another degenerate modern (or post-modern) attitude I'm over.

Having spent six years entirely off grid on a remote island in Alaska (I even had a baby there, at home, no docs or midwives), I can confidently say, living in the woods is by no means free, but it's freeing.

None. No municipal ANYTHING. Power came from a gas generator. Water from a catchment system. Heat from a wood stove. No phone. No TV reception. No internet. I got net in 2010.

To clarify, I meant fully developed adults (which happens earlier in females) don't HAVE to gain weight as they age. Many do, but they're overeating crap and sitting all day. It's a character thing, not a biological inevitability.

I don't dispute that, but I definitely blame the individual. The attitude I object to is, "It happens to many people, therefore it MUST happen, and there's nothing I can do about it." Horse ca-ca.

My ORININAL point, though, was that the

... things like "body positivity" and "fat acceptance", and all the bad nutritional "information". The food pyramid was CRIMINAL. You're right. It IS happening. It just pisses me off. My kids are suffering because of those lies.

Sounds like you're striking a decent balance of carbs and fats if you're trying to avoid weight loss.

I probably derailed the original purpose of the chart, and I apologize. I have personal reasons to be very angry about

I had to consult the Book of Knowledge several times to comprehend that post at all. It still doesn't make a lot of sense. You're implying that people fatten as they age? Not necessarily...

My point was the data is skewed if sizing shifts.

I cannot. I don't understand it. Nor do I understand your posts. I mean, some of the words look like they're English, but they don't fit together in any way I recognize. I don't think we speak the same language.
