Same. Quiet life with some cats.

I wish we could also choose to have tubes tied before a certain age too. I’m finally 36 this year and asking the drs

Go for it,we all have a little inner child, play away

I find prolonged interaction with others a real strain. I can do an hour or so then can’t maintain the pretence that I’m enjoying myself. On family occasions I always have a “get out early” excuse handy.and use it.

I feel like if you are not doing anything because you are somehow petrified into non-action, that is not laziness. That is fear of failure, lack of enjoyment (anhedonia), or some other reason... So I feel like if you cannot tell if you are depressed or lazy you are more likely to be depressed. No one chooses to do nothing if it makes them feel awful, just for... no reason? And so the problem is not that you are lazy, but that you think that you are. And overcoming that kind of thinking, to learn that your thoughts are not always correct, is an important step to healing.

I don't wanna work. I just wanna bang on the drums all day!!!

As a fellow person who has been raped, I understand this girls pain about the anniversary, I was thinking about ending my life when it came up for me. Sending strength and love to this girl. Some men are trash.

Water on. Step in = pee

Pregnancy isn't for everyone and just because you're a woman and have the proper "equipment" for carrying a pregnancy doesn't mean you're obligated to want it, or even enjoy it if it happens.

I've got the same problem. Not autistic, but was bullied as a kid. Im pretty sure it stems from that.

I work for money. If I had money I wouldn't work. It's that simple. Would find something to do, like a vegetable garden and reading, but certainly nothing stressful.

As it should be

This is how the vast majoeity of farmers are. Respectful and have a tight and ethical operation. I'm so tired of the hypersensationalized media (looking at you PETA) trying to sell the idea that farming is cruel. It's just not the case.

I struggle with this. I love animals. I can’t stand the thought of them being hurt, injured or abandoned, because they do not understand what has happened. But, I also enjoy meat, and unless, as a society we decide to vegetarian, killing animals for food will be part of our lives. The other side to this is that there are nutrients in meats that are difficult to obtain from plants. So it is an ongoing challenge. Thankfully, there are farmers like you who take good care of their animals, and have a heart for them, even as they are raised for food.

After I stopped eating meat I had a long think about if I wanted to eat meat again or stay vegetarian. Where I came out was I was not going to make someone else do something that I was unwilling to do myself. I've grown veggies, wheat, etc. Currently have my own bee hives. May buy from the store because it's quicker or easier, but I'm still willing to grow/harvest that food. Meat isn't something that I feel I would be able to do. I respect you for what you do, I know it's not something I could not do myself, so I choose not to eat meat for that reason. I'm sorry people treat you horrible for doing what they aren't willing to do themselves.

I totally get your point, but I also don't understand how you can do this for a living and not feel awful.

So sad

You're a good example to Farmers everywhere.

That's a wonderful attitude toward your stock. Its like a sacred trust to treat them as well as you can. I eat pork, chicken and beef. When I say grace I always thank the animal who died that I might eat. I do not tolerate disrespect toward the food that cost an animal its life. Thank you for your responsible work.

You have a kind heart - I wish you the best!!

I like pork but I only buy it from my local farm coop setup from farmers like you.

(Recent generation)... "You mean pork comes from a pig ?.... I thought it came from a store..." 😜

As a chef, I commend you. 💜

Thank you. I appreciate your kindness to your animals.

My hat is off to you. My grandpa raised some pigs, and I have to say, there is nothing to compare with the smell of a barn full of pigs.

You're only a murderer if you kill with vicious intent. Killing for food is different, that's survival. I admit it'd be nice if all animals raised as livestock lived good lives before being slaughtered for our table.

I love this one!! My papaw was a pig farmer and I helped him take care of the pigs. I never quite understood what was going on when I was a little girl and I always just thought they went to another farm. He would never let anyone actually tell me. He was such a kind and gentle man. It is just a part of life on the farm.

I just don't wanna think about eating Babe. I'm not shaming anyone for pig farming! It just hurts my heart to think about killing cute little piggies.

My theory on this is: take care of your animals. Vet care as needed. comfortable surroundings, and painless put down when it's time to butcher. I love bacon. I love ham. I know where they come from. I'm fine with that.

This is exactly why I buy all of my meat from a local farm. I would not want it any other way.

I worked in a butcher shop for a while. It was interesting and I learned a lot. Also made me very conscious of where my meat comes from. Definitely changed where I'm willing to buy from

Thank goodness you treat your animals well. In the Netherlands, a few horrific abuses had come to light, which about I will not tell anything

I couldn't do that to be honest, so I'm glad somebody else does it to provide me with food

Ridiculous hypocrites calling farmers murderers. It's not murder if an animal is killed for food. Heck, no conscious living, but plants are alive so isn't that murder too, even for food (just asking those who claim farmers as murderers- certainly not what I believe)? As others have said, most who raise livestock for food make sure the death is humane.

Thank you for your contribution to my subsistence, pork rocks!

I prefer not to kill things myself, but frankly, unlike most people, I include plants in that. I very much appreciate the work people do in all types of farming. I've hunted a few times, and as long as people don't waste parts of the organism, I'm totally okay with it. Frankly, I also completely understand medical testing because it is a huge benefit to our species, AND those we try to study.

Makin' bacon - literally. You're doing God's work! Yum!

What to say. The people are right and it is a fact that you gain money on their death. And they would not have "short and hard lives" if given a natural way to live. Not impossible to just change what you do, it's all you choosing.

I enact conversations l'm going to have or ones l wish l had if l could. But only alone at home.

I think human beings are absolutely ridiculous.

Yay Dad!!

I think this is the only way I could live. Reality sucks way too much for me.

I don't think there's anything weird about this. It's treating the person with respect and dignity. Also, if your job goes right, they (or at least part of them) will soon be living again.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

I have to go grocery shopping today, and I'm not looking forward to it. I absolutely will take the time to determine the best time to go in order to encounter the lowest number of people.

I feel this. I can't stand being around kids, and if I ever dare to say so, then it must mean I'm a bad person
