    Absolutely hotter. In the middle of all this crap, a fast moving fire came through our ranch and 1000 acres around our ranch. No lives lost, no animals (cattle, horses, Alpaca, Camel, dogs and the rest) but the wildlife is decimated. 360.degrees of ash.....as far as the eye can see including the mountain sides we are in the Foothills we are in, which means the Monsoons that are building, are going to wash all that destruction down hill to us with nothing holding the dirt on the mountain.

    Soil reinforcing don't know how valid that would be for you regarding this however they're developing coir versions and various options for that these days.

    Hmm I wonder if that isn't the mesh like fiber I encounter when mucking horseshit at a ranch up North that has an irrigation flooding system. The stuff has broken a plastic rake tine but does keep the soil burm from washing away allowing irrigation into the barn.

    My Dad was a land planner and back in the day we traveled to AZ from IL to try to come up with an idea to help with soil erosion caused by water without plants holding it up on the mountain and highway banks. They came up with a straw filled, burlap coil that when tightly packed, expands as necessary but dries out as well. Those are still in use because they are light, you can drive stakes right through them, they gotta be fairly cheap and effective.

    I'm going to show my Dad this technology because it will make him smile to know that there are people out there still trying to Curb Mother Nature. Thank you for the information :flower:

    Is that some sort of problem? It has not bothered anyone so far. Everyone has managed to contribute some kind of bullshit, so I doubt anyone else is worried about quality.
    And I doubt that any of the mods are going to pay attention to your ploy, not original by the way, to close the thread without leaving their last word.

    Does anyone remember the original purpose of this thread in the old PF?

    Hey Tiff.
    I am not at all happy about this freaking lockup or lockdown, whatever you want to call it. I have left the house only once in these last 3 months. :groan:
    And the worst is yet to come. I will be working from home until the end of the year. :groan: :cry:

    If I am not mistaken, the purpose of the original thread was to discuss why we thought that we had the last word on any particular thread. There were several possible reasons mentioned if I remember right.
    1. the last poster had the written the most profound answer answer to the question
    2. the last poster had come to a dead end and no one else after that could think of anything else to say
    3. the OP had not bothered to answer any more questions
    4. the last poster had said something so bloody stupid that no one wanted to continue.

    From there on it continued into a competition to see who could get in the last word on that thread.
    But maybe I am thinking of a different thread. :worry:

    At times I crumble from my soul being so weary, for so long and I begin to question if the struggle is worth it. And when I find myself thinking that way, I remind myself that regardless of how many times I may go down, I will never let myself forget that my bounce back is strong as fuck.

    I just flew from Atlanta to Salt Lake, drove to Utah, then went to Montana and Wyoming. Been working from the office every day since the pandemic started. Have eaten out, gone to the gym, gone shopping, and have hung out with my family and friends the whole time. My infection rate and the number I've infected stands firmly at 0. No harm, no foul.

    We cannot even go out when we want here. There is a law that says only people with the last number of their national ID can go out on one day of the week. Starting at 1 on the first Monday of the month until 5 on Friday. The next week Monday starts with six and ends Friday with 0. No one goes out at weekend.

    My number is 7, Tuesday. I have classes all day and there is no way to go out.

    They are allowing home delivery services for food and medical stuff everyday, but the people all have to be registered. The have even put a stop to the selling of booze.
    Anyone caught out in the streets with a permission gets fined and has to do social work.

    There are lots of complaints about the system, mostly because there are not so many deaths. But the hospitals are all over run and understaffed. If they cannot keep the number of infected down there will be a big shitty mess here.

    We have the opposite thing going here. As the Covid cases started to increase, the major cities (Atlanta, Athens, Savannah) all started to impose more strict measures, one of which was mandatory mask wearing. The governor of the state declared the matter a state emergency and then entered an executive order that state law preempted all city law and stated you didn't have to wear a mask. Earlier, they tried to close the beaches, so he re-opened them. Recklessness appeals to me, so I kind of like it.

    If a symptom of Covid is fiery diarrhea, then count me in! If it's just the expected consequence of hot wings, then that. I took some Pepto-bismol pills that said you weren't to chew them, but were just to swallow them with water. I chewed them anyway. They kinda tasted like the chewable kind, just not flavored like cherry and they caked up on your teeth a little bit, sort of like they weren't designed for chewing. Overall, it was a pretty good experience. I hope it douses the flames.

    Two Natural Science classes with labs are all I have left to complete my Associates degree. In May 2021, my youngest indian will be graduating with his B.S. in Simulated Science, Gaming and Animation and me with my A.G. I will be continuing on to ASU so I will also be taking Victemology and Crisis Management.
    11 credit hours of class is what I took a year ago. Medical crisis considered I must continue on.
    I'm rising daily and pray NicK finds the drive to thrive not just survive. :flower:

    The last word... One other couple in our group of friends, who were high school sweethearts and have two beautiful children have decided to go their separate ways. That leaves NicK and I as the only first marriage, remaining in tact in our group.
    It's amazing and scary all at the same time. It's hard for NicK because now all the males are unmarried even though some are in new relationships.
    Pondering why...where it fell apart...how accurate in time were my Spidey senses and what makes the difference in whose marriage is successful and whose is not.
    My only thought to our seperating friends is: Please don't destroy in leaving, what you built in coming together.

    All I know is that you spell your husband's name with a capital K at the end of his name, which tells me that the two of you are doing something right.
