@azzow2 I tried green beans one year, apparently there is a fungus that attacks the beans in this area, mine just did not flourish. I remember my dad growing green beans when we were kids, and snapping the beans for dinner, talk about fresh. I usually buy frozen green beans, and then only take out as much as I need. Living alone I don't want to cook the whole package at once.

Goldfein: ‘Every American should be outraged’ at police conduct in death of George Floyd

fedup comments on Jun 27, 2020:

I am outraged what that animal George Floyd did to the pregnant woman by sticking a knife into her stomach after he and the other animals broke into her house .

HippieChick58 replies on Jun 27, 2020:

No one is saying that George Floyd was a saint. He was sentenced to death by a cop for trying to pass a counterfeit bill. Regardless of what was in his past that cop had no business being judge and jury. Floyd did not receive due process. He did not resist arrest, he was quietly waiting for the cops. That cop brutally executed him as his partners stood by watching. This is not right, it is not justice.

I guess my question is why does God not want me.

God is created by man to control others, mostly women. God isn't real he can't love you, want you, or know you. If you are unhappy in your marriage look into fixing it. If your family is not healthy for you, cut ties. If you need a purpose in life help others. That is the secret to happiness.

@Leslie00 No one is useless or deserves to be treated less than humanely. I am sorry you are in a tough situation. Others have suggested that you see a counselor, they do telemed now, you don't even have to go to the office. Some places offer free or low cost counseling. I know in Nebraska that the Methodist Health System does have free/low cost counseling, please check into resources in your area. I wish you peace.

I hate that “working class” label! What does it mean anyway? Do we really have to divide up into classes? Just about everybody does some kind of work, even me.

@freeofgod Oh for sure!! I am thrilled now when I see women doing what were once "men's" jobs. Our generation paved the way for that.

Fer sure, humans are rare in the animal kingdom in that the helpless period lasts so long.

@WonderWartHog99 Yeah, I have a two year old grandson and no, he is not going to be able to find edible food on his own. If left unattended a two year old would surely eat something poisonous and die in short order. And then there is the wander away and get lost or hit by a car. Yes, he has mobility, but no sense yet. A 2 year old bear is full grown and has means of protecting itself. A two year old child is totally vulnerable. Not a good analogy at all.

@WilliamFleming I am very impressed with my former creampuff of a daughter that she is doing quite well as a carpenter. Her husband just became a journeyman, she is working towards that title. My oldest daughter has a degree in Microbiology, and now she works as a programmer. The degree shows you have the intelligence and determination to stick with a program to get the degree. 2nd daughter has a degree in history and works in data management. It is not uncommon. Their dad had a degree in zoology, joined the Army, worked in MI and after the Army was a programmer.

@WilliamFleming He went to college, he just didn't hang around for the degree. And he was able to use his talents to become a multimillionaire. Bill is definitely the exception to the rules. Working class would be more of the Target cashiers, cafeteria workers, carpenters, etc. College often changes your perspective if not your ability to earn a higher income. It just is. And to forestall a potential argument, not everyone is cut out for college. Two of my daughters have college degrees, #3 dropped out of college and is now a carpenter.

Joe Scarborough: Trump May Be Tanking 2020 Election on Purpose

I've been looking at this same theory for a few weeks now, ever since he dropped the COVID issue altogether and started focusing on protecting the monuments. Barr's actions with the SDNY only kicked it up a notch. If nothing else, trump is a coward. He only picks on people he thinks he can ...

Gawd, wouldn't that be something!! Former US Prez living in Russia, and bad mouthing the US. Luckily he's old and not in very good shape, he won't last long. And that would shut his vile offspring up. We live in weird times.

Per the article: white women of the working class — which pollsters typically define as people without a college degree. So working class means no college degree, which means less education. Amount of education is the key.

I may have thought of entirely obscure axiom.
