@Mini Horses I couldn't agree more with ya on that....I know the "Snow" has been on your "Mountain" longer than mine, but it is a very sad situation these days and times. I don't say anything to the grandsons....because they can't help how they are raised....but, they have been taught to not eat any meat with a bone in it....they don't even know how to take a bone out of the meat....and their dad won't eat any meat that has been cooked with a bone in it. That sure wouldn't fly back when I was growing up...I tell ya.....and there are many other things that I have to bit my tongue over.....really sad that they haven't a clue how to survive at all, but we do what we can and I just have to be quiet....I certainly won't downgrade their dad in front of or around them....I know their mom wasn't raised that way.

Their mom oughta slap some sense into their dad.....jus' sayin'......

@Baymule dang their mom....there have been a couple of times I came really close to doing it myself.....I was fixing to throw him.....physically....Out of my house before they got married, but Joyce stopped me....I'd have gladly paid the assault fine....believe me....

Does the father realize all the beneficial things in the bones that the body relies on? And what about bone marrow transplants that have saved hundreds of people as the stem cells in the bone marrow will regenerate..... My prolotherapy is progressing to the possiblity of stem cells for the ankle and that comes from the bone marrow.... He really has no clue about the real scope of life. Sorry for your grandsons, but maybe as they get a little older and they get out into other situations, they may start to realize that there are other ways out there.....

So what is the issue of bones in meat? Kinda comes that way doesn't it? Unless the "meat" one eats is Gummy Worms.

So what happens if the boys were to be given bone in meat on their plate at your house? Perhaps you could get them to think about WHY it is a problem and decide if THEY need to live the same way. At some point they will leave the house, maybe go to college. Are they going to "starve" because their dad has some phobia about bones in HIS food? Go to a BBQ and only eat the hot dogs and burgers because the chicken and ribs have bones? Boy are THEY missing out!

People can be weird. DW's brother's wife trained their kids to think cereal with milk was "yucky" because SHE didn't like it. I suspect they got over that once they were old enough to think for themselves. She also has (unless she has changed) a "germ phobia". Wash with antibacterial soap (yeah, let's make us some super bugs!!) and dry her hands by shaking them, kids did the same. Wouldn't want to touch a towel that someone else may have left nasty germs on after washing their hands. And yes I am talking about in a residence, including theirs.

Well......I won't actually say what I've said in the past, and even now...but, I have served bone-in meat while all were here.....the dad just goes to Sonic in town for burgers and yes....he is the same one that stormed off and went home because of my speech about parents being responsible for their children when going thru the gates. Joyce is kind enough to take their meat off the bone, but my thoughts are figure it out or starve....

Paranoid hypochondria and fear of it is rampant nowadays. Doctors are part of the problem, feeding the schizophrenia by assigning names, disorders, syndromes to every little ache pain and discomfort..even imagined ones. Of course, the Drs are making a ton of $$ of it too.

The more stupid life decisions that can be classified as a disease, the better. Drug companies are making a killing. It gets ridiculous, like the commercial on constipation-just take this pill-for the rest of your life! Or you could just eat the right foods....

The geese are getting BIG. So we decided to let them out with the general population this afternoon, and they are oh so happy! It didn't take them long to find their way out of the chicken yard gate, to the side yard & start eating grass.

Then all of a sudden they realized they could spread their wings & fly low across the yard. I ran to get my camera, but by then they stopped flying. I did manage to get some shots of them spreading their wings though.

Our turkeys do that and they probably weigh 25 pounds.
