This morning I was asked to create a course on miniature painting - It was fun to create a proposed bits box for the students to use when basing. Yes, I do keep a wide range of grass and small flowers to hand.

I was referencing you being adept in biology and chemistry. Your chromosomes are of no relevance to me: I only view others as ones who can freely engage in interactions and those who cannot. To put it simply, having someone changing their pronouns in the middle of examining a complex task is just disruptive.
But, if they wish to do so after, none will judge them for it.

Sweet baby Moses on stilts. That is a turkey on a cinematic scale.

Then my apologies, I misunderstood and thought you were being malevolent.

It’s ok and no need to apologise for a simple misunderstanding. I only have a malevolent motivation when handling a pesky demon or child abuser.
Outside of that, it easier to imagine me as a gentle academic with a light-hearted approach to all.

Animal abusers for me.

Yes, they do aggravate me too. Whether those who abuse animals or engage in idiotic ways to ‘help’ animals.
I have punched a few idiotic animal rights protesters over it (and I do have a strong aversion to going as far as raising my voice). This was due to them releasing a few thousand mink around where I grew up. This ‘act of kindness’ resulted in the near extinction of countless species and fucked up the whole ecosystem for a decade. Luckily, my psychotic Bengal went above and beyond in culling them.

Reminds me of the idiotic Climate Change protestors that throw paint and soup on priceless art and then gluing themselves to the wall. Their cowardly acts accomplishes nothing useful.
I’m going to go now.

It’s just utterly counter productive.
I can agree with the aims of many groups but their execution of them is baffling.
When they try to act in the Shires, we all look at them as children who have no understanding of the welfare of animals. Although, I am one who views being a meat-eater as an earnt right after caring for the animals in question and slaughtering them yourself.
Mrs. Squirrel has finally got her head around me insisting on all parts of the animal being put to use. I think the quality of our roses made it click.

Very nice! My first day out didn’t even hear a turkey all morning, next three days called several in but all hung up out of range then just walked off! So frustrating but I love Turkey hunting with a passion!

He’s got 2 tags for the spring. Only bearded, and 1 a day max. And 1 tag for the fall of any kind. I’m sure we’ll be at his place for the cooking. 1 deep fried, the other smoked. He got out late to his blind, got set up, hadn’t made a call and 10 minutes later, heard it 10 yards away.

Here you can get 2 per year, 2 in the spring both have to be bearded and only 1 per day or you can get 1 in the spring and 1 of either sex in the fall.

I assumed that The Shepherd’s Boy would be a fitting mentality for you, @Josephine_van_Rijn, and me to follow regarding Framed.

The first vape from a mix that was fabulous to me! A huge thank you to @SquirrelSmash for steering me in the direction of Lovage Root that blended so well in my mix bringing out the hidden nuances in the other flavors and tying the entire mix together with almost perfect balance!
