Masher-Joe is really snuggling into Hillary in this photo.

       

I wonder how Hillary felt about this "creep", who was truly looming over her sorry self from behind in this picture.

(I don't think Biden ever girds his loins, but just keeps them available and ready, just in case some female (or male state trooper) comes along that he can mash on.)

Hillary didn’t get mad—she got even.

She put Joe’s chief of staff on the payroll (secretly, of course).

The Podesta emails explain that Joe’s Chief of Staff sent over information on every move the budding Biden campaign tried to make in 2015.

That included a list of Biden fundraisers around the country (at a time when Biden denied he was running).

The DNC called up each of those fundraisers and told them their secret was out and it would better for them and their families if they stayed away from the Biden campaign.

Game, set and match.

I didn't know that.   It did seem weird at the time, how Biden sounded like he might run, then sounded like he wouldn't run, then that he might run, etc.

The ones we got from a friend (who is an avid fisherman) are frozen in salted water. They stay good for 6 months, though we usually eat them up pretty quick. Just remember to rinse them REALLY WELL before cooking.

The ones Beau just caught in Canada are all shrink-wrapped in those Food Saver bags where they suck all of the air out? Those can last for years with no freezer burn. Any meat we put up ourselves is done that way, too. We have an industrial grade food sealer; I’m sure Beau bought it at Cabela’s. He lives there, LOL!

So Biden is a TV pitchman for trusses these days?

Ok thanks. We have a foodsaver. I am the only one who likes good fish. Costco has packages way too big for me and I have been tempted to freeze some. My Dad was an avid fishermen, he especially liked lake perch. He froze his in wax milk cartons filled with water. I am not about to do that.

That’s how my Grandpa always did it! We had fish for supper EVERY Friday night for decades. (Grandpa retired early and moved up north to Big Silver Lake. I had a great childhood there!)

These days, I’d sell my First Born for some decent Yellow Perch. That stuff is hard to come by - they don’t seem to stock the lakes with it, anymore - and some other ecological disaster thinned them out, too.

Or, it could be that Grandpa and I caught them ALL when I was a kid. ;)

That's what I did...Now I'm eyeballin' the Grandkids...Love them Lake Perch...

Years ago I caught some in an inland lake in Washington State...The locals ask why I didn't throw 'em back, they're just garbage fish...

I was the second daughter and Dad had been wanting a son so I became the fishing buddy. He would catch so many perch in one morning, he would fill the kiddie wading pool in the backyard a couple of times a week. We had fried perch every Friday. I didn't mind so much but he left the heads on. Every couple of years I get some perch fillets at the meat counter - they are pricey - and batter and fry them. Great memories.

And since you come from a hunting family I have another great story about how he and an uncle went out with baseball bats (maybe 1959?)and clubbed rabbits in the prairie next to our neighborhood in south Chicago. He fried them up like chicken parts and kept telling us it was chicken, even after we tasted them and of course commented on how long those legs were. We persisted in our unbelief and then he confessed they were rabbits, to which my sister and I started crying at the table that we had to eat bunnies.

I have never heard of them referred to as, ‘garbage fish!’

Those dopes probably won’t eat Lefse or Lutefisk, either. ;)

More for me, LOL! :)

“We persisted in our unbelief and then he confessed they were rabbits, to which my sister and I started crying at the table that we had to eat bunnies.”

My EVIL FARM BOY COUSINS did that to one of the younger City Cousins over a veal calf that Georgie had been tasked with looking after for the summer. Our Moms all farmed us out to Aunt Alice to help her in the summer and to get us out of Milwaukeestan and out from under their feet.

Poor little Georgie! “I didn’t know we were going to EAT him!!” *Sniffle*

Georgie grew up to be a serial killer, I think. *SNORT*

Yeah, the first time you encounter that, ‘Circle of Life’ stuff, it can be kind of traumatic; but eventually you’re grateful that you’re at the TOP of the Food Chain! :)

If I recall at the time bunnies were very endearing and Bambi was my favorite movie.
