  • I do that with our guinea pigs.

    They get a cookie* every day at 5:00 pm when I get finished with work. After 5:00, whether l come in the back door or just come downstairs from my office, they start wheaking and chewing on the bars of their pen (which they think encourages us to give them food for some reason).

    Sometimes, after I’ve given them their cookie, I’ll go back up to my office. When I come back, they start acting like they didn’t get the cookie.

    I just walk up to them and tell them that they already got it and they aren’t getting another. They stare at me for a moment, then just go back about their business.

    I don’t think they actually forget they they got it. I think they just hope I might have forgotten. But it is interesting that all they need me to do is tell them they got it already and they give up.

    * The cookie is a vitamin C supplement made of pressed hay with molasses as a binder. The molasses is why they lose their minds over them.

    We made Macaroni and Cheese, Peas, and Bacon tonight.

    That wasn’t a picture of tonight’s. It’s an older picture. Looks the same though.

    I wrote up the recipe a few years ago to add to the knowledge base at work, and I included a suggested serving size:

    Customary serving size: enough to make you feel unwell, then 1 helping more

    Edit:

    If you want the recipe:






  • I’d say at this point the left’s response, if they want to stop the decline of the country, is to abandon the Democratic party and form a new party that actually puts the needs of the 99% above the needs of the 1%.

    Communism and Socialism have no chance in the US, but a social democrat is probably pretty close to what the majority of Americans want.

    Of course, I’m not talking about a group that only surfaces once every four years. The presidency shouldn’t even be a thought. Instead, we need a progressive party, dedicated to people, and working at the local and state level to fix what we can there.

    Ah.

    If it’s the night before collection, no one would notice or care. People who do that are not the people anyone complains about.

    What happens is people dump their plastic bag of dog poop in the empty can. So it stays there.

    Next pickup the resident’s trash bags go on top of it. The trash men never manage to get the poop bag out. After a couple weeks of hoping it will disappear next time, the person whose can it is has to dump it out and put it in a bag with their trash.

    People who dump their dog’s poop bag in other people’s cans should be force fed the bag.
