If we drink bovine and goat milk, why wouldn't we try other mammal milk? I had lots of frozen breast milk stored and dated to be ensure our Vivian Rae could most safely transition to formula if something happened to me and also so my parents could feed her every Thurs evening while we had our SexyTime. In a real pinch, I had it with raisin bran and bananas, then recycled it and fed it again to my baby. I can't help but wonder what Emily thinks about that.
Love this. My husband was sent a subpoena for a zombie debt hoping for a summary judgement with prejudice per LA statutes. As a transcriptionist, it took me 90 seconds to respond pro se and45 min to swing by our clerk of court.. I still laugh. They dropped suit and I was awarded all our filing fees and document request fees.
Thank you for sponsoring NOW. For decades, they have manufactured reliable supplements in an industry that didn't even require it.
Promise. Last post. Bayonette Presidential order. Are you fucking kidding me? Is this supposed to help Jan 6 insurgents kill more peace officers so they feel like they need more equipment? Let's have more cops on horse and foot. And , RUSH, Judast Priest, Iron Maiden, Heart, and Joan Jett plus Runaways. I could go on.
I'm basically doing a running commentary on this podcast, mostly me expressing reasonable outrage. I normally fast forward through adverts, but I need a break too and will buy almost anything from some company willing to sponsor this episode. I am, as a COTA with voting as a BADL, bringing mail in ballots to my home bound patients and helping them to register. We have a dristricting problem here in Louisiana.
Three strikes out life sentence Reagan era mandates? How many nonviolent families and following generations destroyed due to Marijuana schedule 1 violations?
BTW I'm a home health-care COTA in the Lower 9th, so my ear is on the ground.
My brother is a retired police chief. I have always advocated for him to have every access to any equipment he and his colleagues need to be safe. I would never want him to have to implement anything working like a federal takeover except for something like Katrina.
It's almost like the "War on Drugs." We all know how well that worked with American involvement with South American regimes.
I would point to our fairly new NOPD Kirkpatrick who has done so much good. She is doing her best to explain to Louisiana Far right that she commands a peace force, for better or worse that we cannot staff. We are 50% understaffed. I still believe any federal mandate to do this is an assault on communities. Bad idea. I follow Kirkpatrick communication and abhor federal martial law.

Really? Josh squeezes in an Insane in the Brain lyric, and then just silence from Chuck? So disappointed... lol
Hey guys
lots of reminders about pirates with a "y" yet title isn't. and if it's an episode about pirates, why are we talking about the Carolina Panthers??? considering who started the tangent story, it explains it. this should not have been a short stuff. way too much misleading info. It's not a good episode.
Lemmy is God!! 🙏🏼🤘♠️Ozzys up there with him now! 🙏🏼😪
