Feel Good Stories 75 Farmers Show Up To Finish Fallen Friend’s Final Harvest
In rural North Dakota, where neighbors are more like family, an incredible act of kindness unfolded after a beloved farmer’s sudden passing. Near the small town of Antler, dozens of farmers came together to make sure their friend’s final harvest was completed. Randy Fyllesvold, a well-known farmer in the area, tragically lost his life in a crash near Maxbass back in September. Wanting to ease the burden on his family, friends and neighbors quickly stepped in. Led by Wyatt Thompson and Andy Gates, the group organized a large-scale harvest to gather Randy’s remaining crops — including soybeans, canola, and more than 1,000 acres of corn. Earlier this month, roughly 75 volunteers, 12 combines, and help from more than 10 communities worked together to harvest about 1,400 acres of corn in just a matter of days. The effort required careful coordination and teamwork, including working with local grain elevators to handle the massive amount of crops coming in all at once. It was truly a “divide and conquer” operation — and it worked beautifully. Randy’s widow, Kharra Fyllesvold, shared a deeply emotional message thanking everyone who showed up. She described the scene as “nothing short of breathtaking,” saying the sight of so many people harvesting her husband’s final crop was both heartbreaking and beautiful. Through their grief, she and her two sons felt overwhelmingly blessed by the love and support surrounding them. "Thank you to each and every person that had a part of today. Special thanks to Andy Gates, Kevin Tyler, and Wyatt Thompson for organizing something I will never forget," she shared on Facebook.Lotsa good folks in the upper midwest, don't ya know!

A Florida man faces multiple charges after he told police he had a “dirty bomb” in his truck following a crash, according to a news release. *** According to the release, officers made contact with the driver, identified as 43-year-old Benjamin Donald Johnson, who refused multiple commands to exit the vehicle. Officers physically removed Johnson from the truck, where multiple firearms were seen in plain view. *** “Through investigation with the assistance of representatives from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, ATF, and an FBI bomb technician, it was advised that the device inside of the yellow container was a Moisture Density Gauge, which is commonly used for soil testing and contained less radioactivity than a medical x-ray,” the release said in part. *** In addition, a search of Johnson’s truck a led to police finding a “multitude of firearms and ammunition,” firearm magazine speed loaders, thermal scopes, knives, a battering ram, night-vision goggles, cannabis, and gummies that tested positive for THC.
Everybody farts, and we are okay with that, even when they smell a little off. But a 1998 study concluded that, on average, women’s gas smelt worse than men's for a pretty simple reason. Dr Michael Levit, a gastroenterologist, conducted the study way back then and managed to get a reputation as the ‘king of farts’ for his work. So how did the study work? Well, the doctor recruited 16 healthy adults with no history of gastrointestinal issues and had each of them strap on a ‘flatus collection system’, which is basically a rectal tube connected to a bag. While it is estimated that people fart up to 23 times a day, the doctor didn’t fancy waiting around for those moments. Instead, participants chowed down on pinto beans and took a laxative, with researchers collecting their farts. These farts were then analyzed as researchers ran a gas chromatographic–mass spectroscopic test to figure out what was essentially inside those bags."Flatus collection system"?? A vanvera?!? After pinto beans and a laxative?? How much would you have to be paid to be a sniffer / judge in this experiment? ----- OK - one more related item, then hopefully I won't have any more of this type of content. At least for this year. Impressive. Most impressive!

Roderick Macleod, 70, was a member of the band Roomful of Blues in the 1980s and received a Grammy nomination for his work with them.
The alleged driver was identified by police as as Shannon Godbout. She is 41, CBS Boston reported, and was driving recklessly.
Godbout was allegedly "in possession of numerous illegal narcotics and packaging materials commonly associated with drug distribution," police said. She was arrested at the scene and taken to an area hospital. She has been charged with driving as to endanger, resulting in death, and possession of narcotics with intent to distribute. She may face additional charges, police said, and remained in custody at the hospital of Monday.
Police did not detail Godbout's previous arrests, but said eight were from the Hopkinton Police Department. Eighty-two court warrants have been issued for her, police said, and she has received 40 traffic citations. She may face more charges as the investigation into the crash continues, police said.

That's absolutely awful. I can only say that young Sgt Bif would preload beans for 48 hours prior to a multi day NWTI. Knowing I would get partnered with the commander and the COM4ATAF Colonel for the unit certification to release the warheads. I would literraly fart my brains out for 18 solid hours in a tiny little scif maybe 3 feet by 9 feet, me, the commander, the radio operator, and the NWTI Colonel. We'd be in MOPP1 for most of the message processing so none of us smelled my malfesance. The Col on the other hand was dry heaving for most of the inspection.
The last time I did it, he "killed" the commander and brought in our warrant officer. Chief Forman, masked up and came on in. Smacked me on the back of my head, and finished it all up.

Man, I'm so old I remember when the left was telling us about the dangers of an officer calling the president a pot smoke draft dodger, which, for the record, was true, because we have a civilian chain of command and we can't have officers having their own ideas about the quality of their presidents.

Next year, the Col "killed" me first. So I got to do the closed book warhead demate from the missile. In Chief's domain. I paid for that. Dearly. But he's the one that put me in for war head custodian warrant so it all worked out.
The Col told me years later that it became a punishment assignment to inspect our unit because of me. My response, if I gotta be in Mopp1 and uncomfortable, so do you. No one says the soviets will gas us right out of the bag, you guys were sadistic cunts so I fought nbc warfare with nbc warfare. I of course was a civiy by then so it was safe.
He larfed, and said the nwti duties were onorus, but sometimes the unit's personality made it worth it.

Women have inherited the thrones of great powers - Elizabeth I, Catherine the Great, Victoria - and presided over massed ranks of courtiers drawn from the "pale, male and stale".
But America and its client states are the first in history in which every significant venue aside from ladies' sport is now dominated by women. The west is closer than any society should be to the end of men -
At the same time, the principal source of immigration to the west is from a patriarchal culture even more severe (if you can believe it) than 1950s sitcom dads.

At that exact moment I let go of a tremendous fart, really spectacular. I mean, it was probably uncalled for, but it was an amazing confluence of synchronicity and I felt compelled to share it with everyone. Everyone else just died laughing while holding their salutes at attention. I played it straight, naturally, with a look of mild disgust on my face, it weren’t me that would sully such an important aspect of drill and ceremony, no sir. The platoon sergeant just waved his arm and walked away, realizing the futility of trying to restore any sort of order to a bunch of miscreants.

When my boys were little, one of the things I would do at bedtime is I would put son 1 in a blanket and haul him in like Santa Claus and dump him in bed, then do the same for son 2. We called it Bag o' Boy. We also did something we called "The Stanley Cup" because at the time they both weighed about 34 pounds. They would take a running start and leap at me and I would hoist them above my head. this kept up until they were both way more than 34 pounds.
They are now men. I love them fiercely. But I miss those little guys.

He made a niche by recording songs about historical events. To this day I love this one--the battle of New Orleans:
"In 1814 we took a little trip
Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip'
We took a little bacon and we took a little beans
And we caught the bloody British in the town of New Orleans
We fired our guns and the British kept a-comin'
There wasn't as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they began to runnin'
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico."
He locked in to that niche.

In the Operation Black Buck, UK Vulcan Bombers flew non-stop, refueling in flight, from Ascension Island to bomb the Port Stanley airfield and radar complex, then held by Argentine forces.
Though the one hit on the airstrip made it not suitable for jet operations, the damage done by the air raid was considered "minimal"
The damage may have forced the Argentine Air Force to fly their Mirages out from the mainland, which restricted their time over the Falklands.

I've made tacos with the nopales I've made (1/3 cactus, 1/3 tomatoes, 1/3 onions, various spices). I add other stuff to it. I make tacos out of the Chicharrones en Salsa Verde I would make. When I'm really lazy, I've taken meat loaf and shoved it into a taco with extra sauce to make a burrito. Easier to eat that way than with a knife and fork.

Indeed he did. I grew up playing on that property, the national monument. In 1965, the 150th anniversary, they added a long breastwork with replica cannon and a visitor center (which had originally been housed in the old plantation house about a hundred yards away). Sometime in the last twenty years they turned the battlefield, the cemetery, and the land between (which had been a neighborhood called Fazendeville), into a big park with a drive-through road featuring huge plaques with details about the battle.
I miss my old playground, though.

To obtain complete proteins dairy products must be included.

If you are eating a varied diet, you don’t need to get hung up on complete or not. Foods will even out any missing amino acids we can’t make on our own. Unless you are vegan, then you need to protein compliment.

The fact that we are even making comparisons shows how off the rails we are. If you go back and look at his record, Obama bombed and droned the crap out the Middle East and northern Africa and nobody cared. Certainly nobody on the left. He even blew up a wedding and our betters yawned.
But when Trump takes out terrorists who have killed more Americans that have died in all our wars combined we have to get out the rule book to make sure we are killing them the right way.
Bomb them, machine gun them, fart them to death, I do not care. Just end them.

65 rounds per second, where each round is the size of your forearm and throws a depleted-uranium tank-armor-piercing projectile, is a bit much for a flimsy speedboat.

All she does is complain, complain, complain, and yet her country’s a mess. You know, it’s, uh, one of the worst in the world. Uh, let her go back, fix up her own country.”

I have a question from the 'No Shock: Tech Company Offers $60/Hour' thread.
Has anyone determined the citizenship status and/or work authorization status of the owners/executives of LanceSoft?
I suspect that they they are, at best, Green Card holders.
I recall a lawsuit against Intellitron, a placement service, IIRC, in Plano TX, in the 2007-2011 era. It seems that Intellitron was, indeed, placing US Citizens in tech jobs in the US.
But for everyone placed, it was alleged that 19 H1-Bs (Indian) were placed. The suit was settled out of court.
To some degree, this is old news, actually very old news, as we saw this with the Chinese H1-Bs in the 1980's. Once a section had 2 or 3 Chinese H1-Bs, the rest of the rest of the section followed, and eventually the company. I experienced a failed attempt in 2000. I and a Chinese H1-Bs were hired. He then hired 5 Chinese H1-Bs (in Santa Clara CA). He was let go 1 year later, due to sub-performance, and some of the employees followed him.

EPIC City, recently rebranded as The Meadow, is a proposed Islamic housing development in North Texas that has drawn controversy throughout the year.
According to the lawsuit, CCP—formed by EPIC as a vehicle to purchase and develop more than 400 acres in Hunt and Collin counties—engaged in fraudulent practices while soliciting investments for the EPIC City project. Promotional materials allegedly described the development as the “epicenter of Islam in North America” and implied it would be reserved for Muslims, despite assurances to the contrary.

Of course I probably have no clue,Morons. I am neither in despair or in a one sided love.
I am,however, enraged at the USPS for having a package disappear this week that held birthday and Christmas gifts for my elderly mother (some of you think, hey, Christy is elderly!That would be correct. My mother is uber elderly but still with it and uses her computer). So there's that despair which equates to mostly irritation.
There's something in the redneck water in that both of my grandmothers lived into their 90's and she is as well. I sort of don't think I will and that's fine because I live and laugh hard and unrestrained.

I would like to thank you, sir, for your music on the ONT. Without music (ok, and nature and art and food and mountains and snow and wine and my husband and babies and sons and grands, etc) life would be very bland.
I don't want a bland life and have never been bored. Seriously. Life has always been good to me and always will. Find blessings, Morons and 'ettes...even in bad times. Look up! Always look up!
This is a song dedicated to my eldest son who is a professional saxophone musician. Who tried music for awhile and teaching. Then became an engineer to support his wife and life. But he will always be the Sax Man to me, our boy. We remain thankful he never had to busk in the subway in NYC.We learned a lot about jazz and big bands from him and his trumpet playing brother over very loud years.

Talkin' to me? If so, thanks for asking! I have no idea but I ripped that off and FedEx'd it to, no doubt, an AI place. I have no idea when I will know the results. As a RN I did take my pulse now and then when I was wearing it and noted occasional skipped beats or pauses, but never for more than 1 Mississippi (second). No symptoms and certainly no more fainting to indicate this is abnormal or the reason I passed out like a loon.
Regardless, and I reckon it will be 2026 before I see a cardiologist, I feel fine. No matter what comes at us we'll deal with it. Sure, sometimes I think,"Oh, no!" then I tell myself to knock it off as I am blessed and all will be well.

Turbulence has not fazed us since we had a newborn on a flight leaving MS for the West. Flew near a tornado on the ground in LA. The plane did a Dutch roll deal, leveled out, and dropped straight down thousands of feet.
This was during the Civil War times where everyone was fed. We were in bulkhead behind first class and there was no food or anything left on trays. Everything was on the floor. Bins opened and stuff flew out. It happened in seconds and there was collective ooooh vocals like on a carnival ride but no screaming lunatics. I reached for our baby on my husband's shoulder to (I guess) help hold him. All the 8wk old did was burp, so he was fine and we laughed.
A flight attendent ran by for a first aid kit and had giant hives on her neck, which I noted and told my husband. We all applauded on landing and got on another flight.
Once, flying to Orlando when I used to fly every month, I was in the loo doing my bidness when turbulence hit. I surprised the flight attendents coming out and going to my seat, unfazed.

I see a cardiologist yearly. My next appointment is next week. I was having a procedure done today and the outpatient surgery center said I didn't need a cardiologist clearance. Then the doctor's scheduler called me around 2:30 yesterday to cancel because the anesthesiologist wanted one. Then my doctor called be directly to ask some questions and decided that I didn't need one so he called the anesthesiologist to clear it with him. What a mess. After all that back and forth, they did proceed and I got my procedure done. Now I'm on drugs waiting for my son to get home so I can go. To sleep.

Also, I noted Linda McMahon in a close up photo today and had to look up her age. I realize this is petty as she is doing good things...but, man. I have some supermodel tips for her that don't involve botox or injections. Lay off the eyeliner, honey!Granted, I don't need it, but wow. Also the pancake make up.
A decade ago I worked with a lady maybe a decade younger than me. She wore eyeliner under her lower lid, but not the top. I really wanted to tell her not to do this but refrained. I have to refrain myself a lot.

On my father side my grandfather went to 95, grandmother went to 93. Mom's side my grandmother went to 85, granfather went to 76. Mom's side was a train wreck health wise, all over the map, but a couple of them reached very early 90's. Father's side seems to live forever, he's 87, his brother is 92, his sister is 90. All sharp as a tack. None of my grandparents smoked, my father's father drank 2 glasses of wine every day, died at 95, had all his teeth, and didn't take any meds, not even aspirin.

Had an in office consultation with the electrophyologist about my pacemaker installation and it was agreed upon a general anesthesiology.
We're in the OR and an assistant is tying my hand to the rail. Why are you tying my hand. He explains that I might move - exposing that we're not having a general but a local.
NO. we're having a general - shorten the story - after a 30 minute argument between me and the surgeon it was agreed that he (it's against the rule for him to put me under) he will sedate me to the closest to unconscious as possible.
1. I have an unusual capacity for sedatives (hilarity in the OR otherwise called harassing the surgeon)
2. He is no longer my Doc.

Of course I was awake when they placed a cardiac stent after my heart attack 10 years ago. I didn't feel a thing except relief when they cleared the blockage. I didn't even know what they were doing to be honest. Every thing happened so fast once they finally figured out I was having a heart attack.

Thanks. The next time I feel hot I will lie down wherever I am and elevate my legs over my heart and tense my muscles (this puts blood back into your brain). In wearing a dress it causes excitement for others, too.
An ED doc told me to do this the first time after I was tested for everything 4yrs ago. This time, being in church, I thought, nah vs walking out with the "Hey, here comes syncope! warning." Pride doth goeth before a faint (in this case, I did not hit the floor). So if I am deep in conversation with President Trump or Mel Gibson and I feel it coming on I will excuse myself and lie down. Ha!
So, twice I have not had enough water and rushed like a loon and !hello! If it IS my heart I will consider it a blessing, or try to, that it could have gotten worse without the excitement.
If it isn't it is still a good thing to lose 30lbs since covid and get my act together. A win win is how I am looking at the ordeal.

You think that was relief, try a quad bypass. I felt like I was in a twilight zone episode where they stuck my brain into a 20 year old body.

*pours drinks for both of us*
BIL was driving from somewhere West Coast (likely WA state) and headed for Tucson.
A wheel flew off of his 5th wheel, somewhere in S. Idaho. He's at a rest area, trying to get a replacement. (can't find the one that came off). Called an outfit, but refuses to let them tow his trailer to their shop. (I don't know if they were trying to take advantage?)
He's deaf. 70-71 y/o, widowed, no kids, on SS/has been on disability all his life. Not the sharpest in the drawer. Hubby and I are the only family he has left.
Waiting to hear from him again, and may end up driving there to help him get back on the road. I don't want him to stay here... his trailer would get impounded if he leaves it too long, and I'm not sure he understands that.

Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat
Yay.
There were three paintings done, of me and my two older brothers as kids. Never thought they were very good likenesses. Mom had them hanging in the hallway for fifty years. After her death, oldest brother's widow got his picture. We got the one of me, which gathers dust in the catacombs with a 1000 other things to sort through.
Middle brother's younger daughter wanted his portrait, so we shipped it off to her up in Oregon. It disappeared en route, and UPS disavowed any knowledge of its existence. This was years ago; it never turned up. That was about the time there was news of train cars being looted, pictures of abandoned goods along the tracks. I wondered if maybe that was its destiny.
I often wonder, when ships go down with containers, when planes crash, trucks burn up, along with ordinary lost items like tvs or cars, what about all the precious and irreplaceable and important things entrusted to shippers that just don't make it! /random ramble
