CannaGranny’s Corner a Thread For General BS and Good Will On BudBuilders

Good news!!!!!!!!!! They reached out this morning to offer a final interview! So I guess my answers on buckets were good enough lol. So stoked. Not for the 2-3 hour interview, but in general. This would be a big opportunity for us.

If I do end up getting the job I'd be an IT consultant going with the team to new projects anywhere in the US, that last 2-3 years, then move to the next location. I think the traveling part is exciting, considering they pay for all expenses, and we don't have kids.

Raining here in northern VA.

The ninjas come out at night, but you'll never see them.
Congrats sounds like a great opportunity good luck bro
 
Mornin Bubs!
How ya are? I’m better today after having had the allergy knock out pill🤪
I grew outside for over thirty years, but unless I just have to, I will keep them inside.
In Mo. with legalization, we must chose. Be legal indoors or outdoors, but they won’t let us do both. If, the grid goes to crap tho, means they can’t keep up either 🤣
I pretty sure it wasn't legal 30 years ago where ever you were growing indoors or out and we took a chance and grew anyways. I hear you there is no need to attract attention and visibility isn't good anyways.... We have a 4 plant limit, size doesn't matter...4 sprouts or monster plants all same.....The clincher up here is all plants must be grown from legal seed and the only legal seed's come from the Gov. So If you don't buy your seed from a Gov store it ain't legal anyways.....I've not seen that put to the test but that's how the law reads
 
Yes, Everclear isn't available in my part of Canada and boycott or no I like USA made Bud so as much as I can legally bring back and afford to.

Today I need to get on a complete cleaning. I've a mess here now and I need to get on it. After my morning smoke's & coffee.

My cats brought in another chipmunk yesterday and it disappeared underneath our stove so I pulled out the stove and nothing it had disappeared. We went to be without finding it...well through the night they found it and we found it dead in the kitchen a bit mangled but still intact this morning.....Cats.....lol
I had no idea there was a boycott of Bud. Is there a boycott website somewhere, where I can see who is boycotting which company for what reason?

I think Chik-fil-a recently went from being boycotted by the left to being boycotted by the right, which is an interesting turn of events.

This is all very suspicious. Read the fine print of your contract to see if manning some kind of inappropriate eating utensil hotline is part of the job.
 
My kid and her husband have 27 stumps to remove where they are building their house. They have to totally remove them. They are using a backhoe to do that. Seems like a lot of work
yeah, it's a chore, and about 100 different ways to do it. for building anything over where stumps were, they have to come out completely and the hole filled, otherwise once the stump rots and collapses, whatever is on top is gonna be impacted too.

i'm in the same boat, less building anything on top of where the stumps will be. gotta turn some land into useable land instead of forest, and stumps are one of my biggest pain points to contend with right now.

I thought Bud Light / Anheuser-Busch was in sht about some trans activist. I like the long neck bottles of Bud on a hot day...it'll be 29c tomorrow...I just don't want issues buying it then packing it to my car.....ya never know who ya might run into out in the Boonies Maine.....lol....I have a handicap sticker I'll park in a disabled zone close to the door & try not to interact......

They are kinda in hot water here

My issue with the whole things is I just don’t want corporate American pushing something upon me no mater what it is and telling me I should except it. It feels slimy and all they’re really trying to do is make another dollar. When it happens I tend to turn my back. From sports to department stores, from beer to theme parks y’all are there for the enjoyment of American so just do that, why dose there have to be an agenda of one kind or another. Nobody asked for one, did they?

This is the biggest (only) platform I have to vocalize anything and I just wanna tell y’all good morning, show a pic of what’s cooking and be a friend/good member in general.

The thing is... I would never had even known they hired a trans, for whatever position, had there not been such an uproar about it. Granted, I haven't looked into it at all, and maybe some of their statements were in line with what you said, but from what I can tell, people were upset about the hiring and made such a fuss that it upset the crowd that can't think for themselves.

I mean no disrespect, whatsoever. I'm merely putting in my two cents because, as you said, this is the only place I go to socialize internetically and the discussion, paired with working alone today, sparked my wonderfuse. I tend to overthink and this "issue" only seems to confuse me.

No offense or disrespect taken at all good sir 👍👍 I actually don’t even have a dog in this particular fight cause I genuinely don’t like bud, gives me a headache personally even if only one beer it’s just a general rule for me personally. Leave politics and social issues out of your messages or branding as it only creates division amongst your patrons as one side is always gonna be hurt or angered by a slight and this country is seeing a lot of that division currently. I hope I’m not offending anyone either as that WAS NOT MY INTENT.

You're good, dude. I have a problem with playing the devil's advocate. It keeps me from having a dog in ANY fight because, to me, life is just one big gray area.
 
I like that we can talk about touchy issues and remain adult. You guys and gals rock.

I was a couple miles from the brewery in STL today. Weed has really bitten into their market. The Busch's got out (or rather were pushed out by inbev) at a good time. Between legalization and craft breweries on every corner like starbucks, big beer is hurting. But here we are talking about them, so their marketing department is clearly still on the job.

The real issue... the marketing departments.

They didn’t hire a trans. They celebrated a person named Dylan Mulvaney whom is a trans. Put his/her face on the cans, I understand.
Budweiser has largely had a manly related market. Cowboys, rednecks, and patriotic types. People that love Momma, babies and Jesus. They perceived this as a slap in the face, and they are slapping back by simply not buying the product.
As for me, I’m pretty much a you do your thing and I’ll do my thing too. I try not to be too judgmental, but there is a breaking point for me when something is pushed upon me. I’m seeing it is that way for many.
I actually was cutting a joke at PC, that is what opened this discussion. I’m open to it continuing, providing we all stay kind.
I have no horse in this race, I don’t nor have I ever been a beer drinker, so they lost nothing with me.
I figure some dude wants to wear a dress and drawers, cry about menstrual cramps and makeup tips are welcome to it. I don’t entertain that kind of crazy on my front porch, but to each his own.
 
So this weekend the gamy went camping near Niagara Falls.
At 8:30 me and the wife dropped a 1/4 chocolate chip cookie and got the kids into bed.
We where sitting around the fire at 9:30 talking about the kitchen we’re getting ready to start planning when our cookies rolled in 😍 a corona later and life was gooood.
It was about this time when I noticed someone slipping up in the dark, I was like what’s up? He was foreign and through broken English explained his group was trying to get a fire started but didn’t have any small logs just big ones. I said no problem and pulled out my splitting mull and some fire starters and said bring the mull back when you’re finished.
I went into the camper and got myself and my wife an ice cream sandwich and when I came back out I noticed a dull thuncking noise. I peered through the dark and saw them trying to split these logs laying flat.
I told the wife I had to help and headed over. They where literally trying to split half burnt logs laying flat, inside a metal fire ring WITH MY MULL.
I asked if I could help, got the logs out stood them on end and split everything into smallish kindling. I asked for paper, they had none. Back to my camper I went. In the end I built these very grateful people a nice fire and gave them a log to enjoy.
As I sat with my wife and we laughed about everything I was happy my father taught me some basic things. Never really met anyone who didn’t understand how to build a fire or split a log, guess I always took that for granted.

Someone come slipping up on me in the dark, more than likely won’t slip off without an injured knee! Good thing you had cookies and beer!
Super nice thing you did! Sounds like a great night out!

Kind of interesting that most of the commentors in these videos said to be careful because the roots could continue burning and if there was a root close enough to the surface it could spark a new fire.

I like the barrel process because it seems to remove not only the stump but most, if not all, of the roots too without having to dig up the immediate area around each stump. I'm sure a back hoe or stump grinder would be faster but wouldn't ashes from the burn fertilize whatever grows there?

Lol you’re very correct, I’m always watching my six and was definitely mellowed out at the time of the approach.
The night was just weird. There was another group of 6 men trying to put up tents in the dark by car light who clearly had never attempted it before 🤣🤣 there was one guy in their group trying to split logs with a machete for an hour, he was bracing the logs with his feet😳 thought for sure he was gonna chop something off. In the morning we walked by and they slept in half collapsed tents 🤣🤣

For the past five or so years I have managed several ppl’s air bnb rentals.. let me tell you, I have seen some things!
Seems my biggest job was keeping people from building fires in the fire pits on hot dry windy days when our area would be on red alert with the National Forest Service. I have found that common sense and fires don’t seem to go hand in hand!
Many years since I have used a splitting maul. I’m lazy now, it’s wood pellets.

This is true about 2 weeks before my son was born I lit up a fire on the corner of my property. It got out of hand pretty quick...I came back with a bucket of water and needed the hose. Soon enough the field behind my house was on fire all the dried up corn husks...4 different fire departments showed up and were having trouble. Local farmer rolls up on a tractor and plows a big ring around the couple acres. Yea I almost didn't have a home to bring my son home to, whoops!
 
The things some of us think are common sense I guess aren’t so common.

If you tried to get me to understand and of this computer lingo some are talking here I’d just be smiling and Nodding along while chimps with cymbals banged in my head 🤣🤣🤣 and they’d think the same thing

I worked at a camp, you would be surprised how many people can not set up a tent or start a fire.

I used to go out and set the fires up, soak in diesel fuel, and they still couldn't get it to burn... 😑🤷🏻🤦🏻

me too man... i was in BSA for years, and part of the Order of the Arrow for the latter years. As part of OotA, we were responsible for "guiding" the younger scouts on harsh survival conditions. Eg, at one annual camp, they'd take the first years out to the woods around Camp Frank Rand and dump em with nothing more than their tarp, their sleeping bag, some flint, and already flaked magnesium.

trying to teach a terrified 13 year old in the woods with literally the most basic survival kit ever how to start a fire like that taught me serious amounts of patience.

one particularly bad year, it was straight monsoons all night, and i managed to get a fire going with some dry old man's beard i carry in all my packs (lesson learned real young) and the flint and magnesium. those poor kids didn't stand a chance, and ended up curled up around my spot all night. really, they shouldn't have had those kids out there in that, but as they taught us -- the weather doesn't give a shit about your survival. it's about your perseverance and ability to overcome challenge. sometimes, you have to do the "impossible" and start a fire in the rain.

now i cheat. i have multiple bags in my various camp and hike packs filled with cotton balls soaked in petroleum jelly. if you can get that shit going, it'll hold a flame even in direct rainfall, and a big enough pile will get soaked sticks burning enough to build a fire in the most inclement weather.

I spent every hour i could in the woods as a young child, from like 7 if i had to take a guess.

In all my packs i have a dry box that has 20-25 tumbleweed fire starters that i soaked for a month in lighter fluid, taped to the dry box is a lighter and flint stick. I hike the White Mountain National Forest quite a lot and would hate to get stuck out there without proper supplies.
Inside my overnight pack i keep a 2 pack of Coghlans 450 camp heat, if you cant start a fire with those, you were gonna die anyways.

yessir. before unexpectedly having my son i was doing a ton of ultralight backpacking and alpining. learned some very simple ways of making shit happen -- fire starting, sheltering, gathering water, etc.

one of the main things i picked up was one should know their core kit in and out, and be able to use it regardless conditions. if they can't, they shouldn't be where they are and are gonna die anyways. hell, for a while i carried some oxycodone specifically for the worst case someone suffered a compound fracture in the backcountry -- rather haul high dead weight out than someone that's dying from shock and screaming the whole time. eventually i took it out as i didn't want one of the kids getting into my gear and eating it. might replace it now that they're older and learning the ropes.

LGBTQ stuff means nothing to me. Live and let live. I don't think I'll ever be able to call a single person "they," though. If someone wants a new pronoun, make up a new pronoun and stop stealing ones that are in use.

I agree. Love who you want and do what you want as long as it's not hurting anyone. I don't think it should be forced upon people though, as you say, how am I supposed to know you're a "they" and how are you gonna get offended that I'm not psychic. Everyone is always so offended now. If someone is intolerant, that's just thier character, how they were raised, whatever, and someone telling them they HAVE to accept something they don't believe in, isn't going to change that, and it's actually kind of intolerant in itself in a way. Let's all just burn one and get along.
 
Morning all ya fellow corner dwellers!
Another super cool morning in the Ozarks! This is just nuts! A jacket with my coffee!
I watched the sun come up this morning. What a great way to start the day!

Nuts, huh? By now, I normally have winter clothes put away. Not this year! Air runs all day and the heat at night.
 
Good Morning, Chirp Chirp, Feel like a bird chiming in in the morning. We got some barn swallows on the porch getting ready to fly the coup. Another glorious day in the Mitten. So grateful for the pond for swimming and fishing,.

Yep! Wearing jackets here most mornings, AC all day but ive shut the heat off for the year, its 60-62 in the morning when i get up at 5 or 6, and by now at 830 its already 69. Once the sun comes up it blasts my house all day so it gets warm pretty quick.

Morning Farmerdave!
I have some house wrens prepping to fly the coup too. They nest every year on top of a light on my carport. A new bird this year that I have never seen here before. A yellow throated warbler.
I have a pond too, but it serves as a water catchment. I’m very close to both rivers in my area for the fishing, but I do have a pool to swim in, if it ever gets warm enough!
