I would never argue that deer don’t love sugar beets. By all accounts they do. My question is it is it worth it vs $4 a pound mix of seeds run through a bag seeder from Welters? This was the first snow this year. Deer weren’t even hungry yet. I had the same experience a lot of guys do, the...

Old Bill was there to par-tay. Having the time of his life, you can see it in his eyes.

The transparency is impressive.

Agree with both of the above comments whole heartedly!!!! My only beef with Terry Savage is she wants everyone to wait too long to retire. Also- I never had employee match but my wife did. Where else can you get that kind of return every time you invest?

Terry Savage: “A 20-something who saved $40 per week invested for 50 years at the historic average stock-market return (~10% annually, with dividends reinvested) could accumulate nearly $2.5 million by retirement. In contrast, someone who started later (e.g., age 37) ends up with far less over a...

My wife used advisors. The last one was a Schwab advisor that took a fraction of a percent of the gains. Sounded miniscule. We were busy with demanding jobs and kids. It grew. It didn’t grow like it grew when I took it over and used very vanilla low cost index funds and a couple managed...

I don’t like it one bit. The algorithms dictate what nonsense reaches our brains. We have no idea how it is affecting our young people. I shut down my facebook yesterday, got rid of twitter a year ago. Progress.

Heck yes.

@Hoytvectrix that is a crying shame. I let a very good guy hunt my ground for a few years. He had a wounding incident three years ago and blamed it on a problem with an expanding broad head. The next year he had another incident and I asked him if he had changed broad heads. He said no and...

You guys are definitely getting some attention and it isn’t the right kind. I noticed the criminals from the spawn of the refugees coming out of there in the early 2000’s so it’s been going on longer I bet. Here in Illinois we used to have some pretty damn competent republicans running for and...

A goal of forign origin misinformation campaigns is to make the citizens of target countries not trust their government and social institutions. We have to get better at figuring out when we are being manipulated as we citizens are now the targets of foreign iintelligence services. Seems over...

I'll say this too- this thread is a great microcosm of our country. We bicker amongst ourselves while the chinese and the russians work on defeating us. That's the point of their disinformation campaigns.

Oh yeah- don't know if you noticed but I never mentioned venezuala in my post about fent and weed. Because venezuela has nothing to do with either.

You will never catch me mentioning a guy growing his own plants for his own use. Don't care. Yes, it is a chinese thing. (There is no ethic group that is NOT involved in this but the Chinese are big in this.) In mainland china these people get lured to become indebted to chinese organized...

Russias biggest exports: crime and corruption.
