PRODUCT 44 lb. bag PEDIGREE® Adult Complete Nutrition Grilled Steak & Vegetable Flavor Dry Dog Food
We used to make our toy poodle, who lived 16 years, homemade food weekly simply by taking various meats, like ground chicken, adding fresh vegetables, and wrapping into waterproof logs and boiling it until it was done like bologna meat logs and then would cut his daily meat off of it. Good for family to eat, too.
He ate other stuff too, loved vegetables, but this was a staple. Never fed him store-bought warehouse factory food.
BREAKING: #Arkansas Supreme Court reinstates four voter suppression laws ahead of the 2024 elections, reversing a lower court's ruling that the laws violated the state constitution.
@GottaLaff Handing out refreshments to someone waiting in the queue would I expect be illegal "treating" in the UK if done by supporters of one of the candidates.
But ... there can only be queues that are long enough for the question to arise if the organisation of the poll is totally fucked up. There should, in a rich mature democracy, be sufficient polling station provision and staffing that nobody ever has to wait more than a couple of minutes.
@GottaLaff no handing out water for those who may stand in line to vote. Of course Floriduh did that awhile ago. That’s F’d up on multiple levels. Makes me want to take water to anyone standing in line.
The nation’s fastest-shrinking city, and among its least safe, hopes an education turnaround will help spark a revival in central Arkansas. https://bit.ly/4dyHkRR from the Arkansas Advocate #arkansas

#RIP “Former #Arkansas governor and U.S. Sen. David Pryor, a #Democrat who was one of the state’s most beloved political figures and remained active in public service in the state long after he left office, has died. He was 89.”
@AnnaAnthro No. Because their GOP governors cut Medicaid,WIC and SNAP to poor households. The current governor wants everyone to "pray (obesity and other health problems) away" instead.
🤦♂️ Arkansas engaging in statewide hand tabulation and then inevitably complaining that they don’t know the results on election night so something conspiratorial must be afoot would be prime Arkansas.
"Experts say a saltwater, or brine, aquifer under the #Smackover Formation may contain enough #lithium to produce batteries for 50 million EVs.
Umberson said this new process, dubbed Direct Lithium Extraction (or #DLE), will benefit south #Arkansas and the lithium industry as a whole because of its high lithium recovery rates and minimal environmental impact.
[But] Umberson and Donnelly say further independent research must be done on DLE and its long-term impacts."
"Donnelly said that to truly protect natural landscapes and the communities of people who live near extraction plants, the federal government must step in to provide guidance through legislation."
"We don't have an energy policy in this country."
What we need is leadership from the administration to look at the whole country and say, Where does it make sense to produce this lithium? And where is too harmful? And what are these impacts going to be? "
Fruit jars being sterilized on old lady Graham's back fence in berry season. Near Conway, Arkansas. "We just gather and can peas, beans, berries, and sausage when we butcher the hogs in the winter. We put up seventy-five quarts of berries, sixty of beans, sixty of kraut, thirty of grapes and twenty of peaches. I swapped two bushels of grapes and got two bushels of peaches and I swapped one bushel of grapes for one bushel of apples"
