We used to Eat "Miner's Lettuce." Mom showed me what the plant looked like and said it was good to eat. In these Days, YOUR SURVIVAL May Depend on Hunting/Gathering... It's The Growth Industry!

The California Gold Miners in 1849 survived on it.

We used Eucalyptus Leaves and Seeds as a Natural Flea Killer for our Dog... We just Made a Big Pile Where He Liked To Sleep... Mom Knew Many Natural Solutions to Common Problems... She Came from an Apricot/Prune Farming Family.
ALSO... "They Say" Dandelions are good for digestion and may ease rheumatism or liver problems. They can be eaten whole or divided up. Young dandelion greens can be tossed in salads and young leaves can be cooked like spinach. Leaves should be gathered before the plant blooms as they will become increasingly bitter and tough. I've Never Eaten Them...

Makes me wonder... What OTHER food can I get that doesn't come from the Grocery Store? We have a Mulberry tree in the back yard and I ate the little fruits today... They look like Blackberries. Pretty Good...

On a different subject: SE Said: I've always been fascinated by people who get married young. I find it really admirable that a person can know at a young age that they've met the person they want to spend the rest of their life with. I had several long-term relationships when I was in my late teens and 20's, but I was not at all ready to make a lifetime commitment at such a young age. I wanted to get married, but not until I was older and more mature. I worried that if I married too young, I'd end up getting divorced...and to me, it never made sense to take a chance on ending up divorced when I could just wait until I was older before getting married. I became more mature as I got older, and my emotions evened out tremendously. I cringe when I think of some of the ridiculous things I argued with my partners about when I was young, and I can't imagine arguing about such petty things now. I always assumed I'd marry around age 40 or so. By the time I turned 40, I felt more than ready to make a lifetime commitment to someone.

But what I never anticipated was the fact that the majority of people DON'T want to wait until they're older before getting married. The majority of people marry young. So when you wait until you're 40, there aren't very many single men left who are interested in marriage. The men who are still single after 40 are often single by choice, and they don't want to get married at all. Or, they're divorced, and now they're soured on the whole idea of marriage - which is exactly what I wanted to avoid by waiting until I was older before getting married. I didn't want to end up divorced and bitter, I wanted to stay single when I was young and then marry when I was a little more mature. 

It's still hard for me to relate to people who were ready to marry young, and they got married young and stayed married. I really do admire that. My strategy of waiting until I was older didn't quite pan out the way I thought it would. If I could do it over again, I'd marry young and hope for the best.

and I replied: I got married at 21 and divorced 5 years later... then got married again at 45 and divorced 12 years later... Remember that there is a Financial commingling... During my second marriage she was applying for Food Stamps and CMSP (a medical insurance program paid for by the County of Humboldt) and IN THAT APPLICATION they wanted a copy of Her Bank Statement AND her Husbands Bank Statement... SO... We Got Divorced because I didn't want to provide MY Bank Statement... We Continued to live together as roommates...

SE SAID: I've also been hit on by married men on a couple of occasions, which proves to me that maybe it IS smarter to wait until you're older before getting married, otherwise you might find yourself feeling bored 30 years later, so you look to have a fling. But I find that to be pretty gross, and it's also insulting to me that any married man would think I'd even consider having a fling with him while he's married to someone else. I can't help feeling like they think that just because I've never been married, it automatically must mean that I'd be up for a meaningless fling. But that couldn't be further from the truth. Part of the reason I never married is because I have a lot of respect for marriage, and I would never dream of having a fling with a married man. Maybe if these guys hadn't gotten married so young, if they'd waited until they were older before getting married, maybe they wouldn't be bored and looking for a fling 30 years later.

Burning Man Wisdom Tale: "The Canteen" - Traditionally, at Burning Man, You Share Water with People You Meet. Hand the Canteen to a Person and They Hand it to Another Person and ALL THE TIME, You are Worrying... "Will there Be Enough Water FOR ME?" Well, What if YOU DRINK FIRST and Then Pass the Canteen to Your Friend... That Way, All that Time You are Enjoying the Pleasure You Gave Others Without Worrying about Running Out of Water and Dying of Thirst in the Desert. Remember: Take Some ME Time First. You deserve it. - Story by Sonya Sophia

Once, I was at a Rainbow Gathering in Idaho and I Drank the Last of My Water and I was a Long Way from My Campsite and It Was Night... I got Upset and Told My Friend about My Problem and he said: "Just Walk Over to That Kitchen Right There and Ask For Water, AND THEN JUST BLISS OUT! We will take care of You." - and I Did Get Water and I Did Bliss OUT!

Just Bliss Out - MEME

Are We Really Mortal? Do the Math. If you count up all the people who have ever lived since the Beginning of Time... More people are Alive than Dead... [Not Factually Accurate - I posted this story on Facebook and Learned Something from an Alert Reader] Statistically Speaking, the ODDS of Mortality Being Fact is Less that 50% - and then there is That Famous Question of Coming Back from The Dead... I did that Every Time I Drove Home from a Concert... At Least I Did that after Every Grateful Dead Concert... Jesus Did That Once and Everybody Said it was a Miracle... Well, Some of Us Need a Miracle Every Day! As John Steinbeck Wrote in Tortilla Flat: I experienced the Daily Miracle of Food... Amazing, since I'm Unemployed...

Great Book: "Breaking and Entering: The Extraordinary Story of a Hacker Called Alien" by Jeremy Smith about Hacking and The Biography of a Mom who owns a cyber security business...

https://www.amazon.com/Breaking-Entering-Extraordinary-Hacker-Called/dp/0544903218

and an Interview On Pirate Television:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gjwUQ_7ABU&feature=youtu.be

This taut, true thriller dives into a dark world that touches us all, as seen through the brilliant, breakneck career of an extraordinary hacker—a woman known only as Alien.

When she arrived at MIT in the 1990s, Alien was quickly drawn to the school’s tradition of high‑risk physical trespassing: the original “hacking.” Within a year, one of her hallmates was dead and two others were arraigned. Alien’s adventures were only just beginning.

After a stint at the storied, secretive Los Alamos National Laboratory, Alien was recruited by a top cybersecurity firm where she deployed her cache of virtual weapons—and the trespassing and social engineering talents she had developed while “hacking” at MIT. The company tested its clients’ security by every means possible—not just coding, but donning disguises and sneaking past guards and secretaries into the C‑suite.

Alien now runs a boutique hacking outfit that caters to some of the world’s biggest and most vulnerable institutions—banks, retailers, government agencies. Her work combines devilish charm, old‑school deception, and next generation spycraft. In Breaking and Entering, cybersecurity finally gets the rich, character‑driven, fast-paced treatment it deserves.

tRUMP's Creation: Kyle Rittenhouse - Too Young to Vote. Not Too Young to Have His Mom Drive Him to A BLM Protest March With an Assault Rifle... #MAGAKillers SUCK!

HEADLINE: Kenosha Shooting Suspect Fervently Supported 'Blue Lives,' Joined Local Militia. Despite wearing a full replica police uniform — complete with tie, bomber jacket and trooper hat — Kyle Rittenhouse looked a lot more like a Halloween trick-or-treater than an actual cop in the photo taken in 2017.
