Good point. Not only that but we are bombarded by endless numbers of public service announcements touting the virtues and benefits of all manner of gubment programs.

Most of our large cockaroaches are from Saudi Arabia.

Could be a jihad thing. Could also be a precaution. I was once on a business trip to Saudi Arabia and my company (Japanese) loaded us down with medication based on their long experience there.

It came in damn handy my first night. Our hosts served us a dish made with goat cheese. It tasted pretty good and I had a second serving. That night, I was sicker than a dog and puking my guts out.

The Japanese meds took care of it and I didn't miss a beat, save for a little sleep deprivation.

The company also suggested we take water from the home country. I had a two liter bottle which raised some eyebrows going in at customs. But I used it to wash down the meds and avoid drinking the local stuff. After you've been there awhile, your system adjusts and can handle the local water, but you need to avoid it for the first few days at least.

These people might think the same thing about rice.

You mean that some of them are 7th century savages who want to emulate a filthy murderer and child rapist? Say it ain’t so!

The meat is probably lamb, camel, goat or a combination thereof with cheese, milk or a combination thereof on top.

The Saudis are very sophisticated campers who take all the comforts of home. This may be a business gathering (my guess), a family reunion or a Haj gathering outside Makkah. Most likely, there is an electrical heating pad under that super-sized tub which was custom designed for such occasions and probably imported from Malaysia or China.

If you are ever invited to one of these gatherings, it is probably best to eat before you go and eat as little as possible while you are there for the reasons stated in my previous post on this thread.

I am amazed that anyone believe this freaking lie.

FWIW, the emerald ash borer is native to eastern Russia, northern China, Japan, and Korea. Before June of 2002, it had never been found in North America. It has almost totally destroyed all the ash trees here in southern Michigan........and maybe further north, I'm not sure.

My neighbors have the sole remaining ash tree in my subdivision and that's only because they're treating the root system directly several times a summer with an insecticide......

What the EAB did to our trees is a classic example of the dangers a new imported invasive species can do..............

“Did the family think that rice wouldn’t be available in the US?”

What is this “think” thing you’re talking about?

It looks like they’re eating out of that trough with their hands. Are they allowed to eat with their left hands? I thought they couldn’t because they use it to clean their buttholes in lieu of toilet paper.

I wonder what’s in the blue cans on the floor. Pop perhaps?

Yup, my Ash trees are all gone. I lost 4 of them within a year.

The wood under the bark looked like wooden circuit boards.

It’s a high fiber goat bran.

Forks aren’t coming later at this one. It’s all eaten with the right hand. Looks like that goat grab is for a wedding.

Then there's the Purple Loosestrife. Yeah its pretty to look at but it chokes waterways and crowds out native plants like cattails.

That was weird and devastating. I remember that summer, driving thru Troy on my way home from work in the late afternoons watching literally ALL the ash trees, especially the small ones in the grass medians, dying off........

What those waterways need is some of those Chinese snake head fish(sarc).
