Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

Father's Day evening links, updated for Mon. morning

VDH: The Metaphysics of Contemporary Theft. A quote:



Note the surrealism of the European unrest: who are the “they” who “stole” the money that is now no longer there to fund socialism? Did not the socialists at last get what they wanted? The “they” who used to fund it by expanding the economy disappeared a long time ago and now are in the graveyards of Europe.

They look like fake ones but they would do..

So, I'm quite curious, and I know Maggie's Farm is a place to get an honest answer...

RE: The male midlife crisis above, has anyone done the testosterone thing? If so, what was the product, and how did it work?

(I will assume that you will use an assumed name in answering!)

Heavy squats, deadlifts and bench pressing.

But sadly, I've started to lose interest in 'mature' women...

But that would require--shudder--work!

I just want to take a pill or something...

Well, i haven't tried it (but i might if'n i had me a purty li'l gal instead of old dogs and a few old skinny cows and a mare so swayback the stirrups drag the ground and you end up having to walk anyway so you if just leave her in the pasture you save an hour in the morning not saddlin' up and then headin' back in the evening you don't have them dark spots on the trail to step around) but i hear it comes as a patch. I always thought that was hilarious --a ''patch'' --har har ahar you betcher ass it's a patch, if it was working right you wouldn't be patching it.

Anyhoo, i did try the patch for nicotine, to help quit or at least lend me some evidence to use against my Huguenot daughters that i wuz ''cutting down'' on the smokes. It actually did work --the damn things wouldn't stay lit so i tried my propane torch and then couldn't go back to cigarets til i got out of the burn unit at the hospital

Maybe I need a splint, not a patch!

I got the Natural-T idea from the commenter formerly known as Habu, right here on this very website. He was famous for being such an extreme gun nut that he'd get banned from second amendment websites like Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler.

Now, normally I don’t listen to extreme thinkers, but it got me thinking. Jack Lalanne almost lived to 100, and he did crazy extreme stuff like swimming across ocean channels with large animals strapped to his back. Or something.

Habu had to get all that T from somewhere. Or maybe he just did a patch? buddy might know where he is.

...or you could just watch network tv --then you won't even want to bother with the topic
