    Wee, you still on dry land, I hope? Hang in there, it can’t rain forever. Okay, I guess it can, which is why we have the whole rain forest thing.

    You just don’t do places with regular weather patterns, huh? From drought to monsoons, that’s Wee. Please don’t move off somewhere they have blizzards.

      Mornin’!

      My daughter told me something funny yesterday. Some university did a study on the nutritional value of eggs. They had eggs from the farmer with free range chickens who never feeds his chickens, the farmer with free range chickens who feeds organic feed, the farmer who has cooped up chickens and diet consists of regular feed and last store bought eggs from typical laying house hens. I could have saved them the trouble and the money, which was probably our money anyway. So, before she got to the results I told her I could number them without a study.
      1. Most nutritional are the eggs from chickens who eat only insects, worms, grass and whatever else they can find to eat and a chicken will eat anything.
      2. Free range chickens, organic feed has nothing to do with it, but being able to eat insects, worms, etc. is the key.
      3. Cooped up chickens.
      4. Last is the laying house eggs because they never eat bugs and such.

      I was correct and didn’t need to spend a dime. She said the comments on the story was people asking what the non-fed chickens eat and when it was answered for them they said they wouldn’t want to eat those eggs. lol

    Hi, everybody! Today is another “debate” day for the Republican candidates. I really wish they would stop with these media feeding frenzies. At least this one is five days before the election, giving a bit of recovery time before the votes in some very important states: Florida, Illinois, Ohio, Missouri and North Carolina. I understand there is one more in the Northern Marianas Islands (9 delegates), as well as one TODAY in the U.S. Virgin Islands (9 delegates). I think they fall into the same category as Puerto Rico – don’t vote in the general election. On Saturday, March 12, there are two other primaries; District of Columbia (19 delegates) and Guam (9 delegates).

    This political season seems to grind on and on. The big discussion today is whether or not Rubio will suspend his campaign prior to the Florida primary (and others) on March 15. We’ll see!

      I’m ready for it all to be over myself, I’m sick of debates, there have been way too many of them. I wish we could just have one day, everyone goes and votes and we have our nominee.
      I’m also sick of politicians insulting us. Cruz has jumped on the voter insult wagon now.

      “Listen, Donald does well with voters who have relatively low information, who are not that engaged and who are angry and they see him as an angry voice. Where we are beating him is when voters’ get more engaged and they get more informed. When they inform themselves, they realize his record. He’s what they’re angry at. He is the corruption, and if you want someone to stand up to Washington, the only one who has been doing so in this race is me.”

        Two things about Cruz and his

        “Listen, Donald does well with voters who have relatively low information, who are not that engaged and who are angry and they see him as an angry voice.

        1) Cruz being ignorant and arogant enough to think that he can convince me and other Trump voters that we are low-information voters just goes to show that Cruz is a foolish self centered egotistic dull clown. 2) Something I have despised about Cruz all along is that he thinks he can shame people into voting for him. Really a despicable human being.

          Some of those voters he is insulting helped him become a Senator. I bet he didn’t think they were low information, not engaged or angry then.
          The truth is because people are not low information and are engaged and yes angry, he got that one right, is why they support Trump and not Cruz. You don’t have to be very engaged or very informed to see Trump’s warts, they’ve been magnified for everyone’s view. However, only those informed and engaged can see his warts because he and everyone try to hide them very well.
          Sundance is the only one I know of who has put his warts under a microscope and most of America has never heard of him or CTH.

    Malkin to PJM: I Would Pick Trump Over Rubio

    Author and political columnist Michelle Malkin told PJM she would choose real-estate mogul Donald Trump over Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) because Trump is surrounding himself with particular people she trusts.

    Malkin was asked which candidate she thinks is the strongest on immigration issues:

    “Unfortunately, Marco Rubio has been the worst. Now, unfortunately in an oversaturated 24/7 sound bite media culture you get coverage of these issues that’s half of a centimeter deep, so all you hear about is the ‘Gang of 8’ amnesty and you get the sense that all we are talking about is allowing 11-30 million people to come out of the shadows – that’s not what it is all about. It’s not nearly about giving these blank passes to people that are here illegally,” she said during an interview at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC).

    Trump Butler: “Incredibly Generous,” “Just A Nice Man”

    Former Trump butler Tony Senecal defended Donald Trump in an interview with CNN’s Carol Costello this morning.

    “He’s an incredibly generous person. He’s been generous to his employees. He’s generous to strangers. He’s an entirely a nice guy. He’s not the gruff person that people make him out to be. Sure, you attack him, he’s going to fight back. But most of the time he’s just a nice man. I lasted with him for 20 years, he had to be pretty good,” Senecal said.

    Senecal defended Trump as a patriot who wants what is best for the country.

    “His interest in the American people. His patriotism. The man was born on Flag Day. He’s a very patriotic person — ahem, excuse me — and he wants what’s best for this country,” he told CNN.

    So. My crazy job.

    Painting steel trusses for the bossman. A whole lot of them. Cleaning them first isn’t too hard, with a bag of rags and a bucket of soapy water.

    The part I had to refuse:

    Um. I’m on a 4×8 rolling scaffold, 5 1/2 feet in the air (not as high as that pic, but still…) There is no railing. When I’m cleaning them — and they are filthy, and support a roof above a former drop ceiling since 1980 — it’s not too dangerous. I can just grab the trusses anywhere to keep myself from breaking my skull, while scrubbing with the other hand. I started painting the first two 20′ sections this morning with a tiny mini roller, then I realized: I also need a brush, because there are sections that I can’t get with the roller. ..and I can’t hold on to the trusses, because I just painted them… I got about 2 feet of the truss painted, mostly, before I climbed down and decided I’m not risking my life for ten dollars an hour.

    Tomorrow I’m going to look and see if I can rent a railing attachment which hopefully fits onto the top of this scaffold. I feel like I’m doing tree work with no ropes.

    Told the bossman’s henchman (love them both), uh-uh. Either a railing or go hire a pro company. One dishwasher/somewhat-handyman: can he do it?

    SMH @ my life.

          Do you know what happens when you one-part epoxy paint a painted floor, after properly cleaning and prepping it, and the boss tells you to ignore the 24-hour “curing” time on the instructions, and go ahead, 8 hours later, and roll on the urethane-fortified acrylic clear coat?

          Big 12-inch bubbles form. Because epoxy makes a gas as it cures. With this clear-coat, if the epoxy is still curing, the gas has to go DOWN. Now I have to scrape every gigantic bubble, re-prep, repaint, and re-coat. All at his expense.

          I wish he would listen more often. He does, sometimes.
