LOL! No goats for me. I had to tend them as a kid. Smelly, ornery lot. Can’t stand ‘em - unless they’re in a gyro! :)

Exactly.
‘Santa’ brought us an Insta-Pot for Christmas. We’re anxious to give that a try. My sister loves hers and uses it a lot.

Now riddle me this, Batman: WHO RAISED THEM???? Stampy Longnose and the mind molesters at the Public Indoctrination Camps.

My Millennial will survive. She was raised on our farm/ranch. Got a hardship license at 14, and drove our standard F-250 diesel flatbed back & fourth to school. She can shoot & dress out her own game. Knows how to cook and such.
I'm gonna guess the Ag kids will make it through the Zombie Apocalypse...there are many here in Wyoming like her.
To: BBell
In tough and necessity times, can you drive 'stick shift' ? Back in the day any young guy worth his salt could drive a 4-on-the-floor stick shift with his left arm resting on the open drivers window, his right arm holding his best girl close, while drinking a beer and smoking a Lucky Strike.

I have both, now. When I was retiring from Jung Garden Center, I used my discount and bonus $$ to buy every canning gadget I’d ever want. And a light cart for starting veggie plants and growing greens indoors all winter long.
Life Is Good! :)

I just went out and bought a 6 pack of 2 qt canning jars.
Our old poorly built farm style kitchen cupboards are not mouse proof.
While I was digging for the brown sugar, I found the bag with a hole chewed in it. Then a couple more.
That’s it for me.
ALL the baking stuff in in canning jars now, flour, sugar, brown sugar, rice, etc. Nice thing it, the sugar and brown sugar won’t get hard as a rock any more either.
Keeps it cleaner too. No ooops, knocking the bag over to have it spill all over the place.

We have a farmhouse from 1900 and no indoor cats, so there are always a few mouse ‘incidents’ in the fall here, too.
I’ve always kept my baking items in Tupperware, but I keep rice and pasta and granola in the big Ball jars. I have some really old blue ones with the metal screw-tops on display in the Pantry, the oldest being from 1910!
This link is helpful for dating older canning jars:

I’m kind of a Mason Jar nut, LOL!

How we ended up with goats is a long story.

Five star reviews are a good thing.
To: wyokostur
Yeah.
Rural kids will tend to do fine.
The city ones? Well; they survive if there are enough other corpses to munch on.
