    So here's something to take our minds off the never-ending pandemic and being on the brink of world war 3... At any given time the solar system could destabilize and Earth and Venus could switch places.

    Huh. @yukfoo, does that mean we can put away our shovels now?

    So I've been thinking about those poor iguanas that are dropping out of trees in Florida. I wish I was there, could scoop them all into a bucket, and let them loose in someone's house to reawaken. Then witness the results. :)

    Elephants are still being killed into extinction by poachers but scientists have been working and are very close to cloning a Wholly Mammoth.
    Why?
    Why don’t we work harder to save the elephants that are here?

    How can a person survive on hot dogs, spam, cheetos and ice cream bars? :( I fear for this person's health but if I say anything, the defense mode comes out, along with silence.

    You ever have a meal that is nothing out of the ordinary, but on a particular day it just tastes exceptionally well for some reason? Like, extra, extra good? And you don't know why because you've eaten this stuff plenty of times before. Little moments like this are very much fine ☺️

    Now I want grilled cheese and tomato soup.
    Wonder why?

    I have.
    1970s, LaPaz Bolivia, my parents spend the first two days there with altitude sickness.
    It affected me differently, I wanted to eat constantly.
    In the hotel, I ordered a chopped steak with grilled onions and ended up eating it for every meal.
    To this day it’s one of my favorite things to eat.

    Thinking back, I saw not one cow in Bolivia.
    It may have been Alpaca. 😖

    Why "😖"?

    When you eat meat you're essentially eating something that was once a living creature no matter whether it's a cow, alpaca, horse, dog, cat, etc. They were all living creatures. I'd be willing to try non-conventional sources of meat 🤷🏻‍♂️...... with some exceptions, of course. One of them being bats

    I can definitely cross shark meat off of my bucket list

    Cows, pigs, chicken and a couple fish, that’s it for me.
    At 61, I’ve tried quite a few kinds of meat in my life.
    No to venison, no to lamb, no to crustaceans, mollusks, most fish, no to buffalo, no to rattlesnake, no to octopus.
    Don’t tell me alligator tastes like chicken coz it doesn’t.
    😂

    Buffalo is pretty much like cow meat. If you did a blind test, you might not even tell a difference.

    Squid is awesome 🐙

    I 100% would like to try python meat 🐍. It can be very high in mercury, so even if I did like it it would just be a once-in-a-lifetime thing

    Horsemeat is definitely on my bucket list. Possibly some kangaroo, but I might like those things a little too much to eat one 😅

    Moose is outstanding, as is elk 🦌. Lamb meat really is nothing to write home about 🐏🤷🏻‍♂️

    And yes, gator meat 🐊 is nothing like chicken. I burned it on the grill, but it seems like it's going to have a texture/consistency somewhat like a cross between crab legs and lobster

    Posing a question.....it's official, I'm flying out of Boston to visit my dd in Seattle the end of May. I've never been further west than N.Y. and it may be the only trip I make, IDK, out there. :/
    Suggestions of top things to see/do?
    I really want to visit a coastal area but everything she's told me sounds like it's quite a road trip. But I read Port Townsend is only 60 miles away. So....here I am, asking you all.

    Thanks!!!

    I’m excited for you!
    I’m sorry I can’t offer any advice,
    I’ve never been to the west coast.
    I’m sure it’s beautiful up there.

    @ReenieHJ - Sounds fun and exciting! I’m not sure of the top things to see in Washington, but several years back my parents went on a whale watching tour in a zodiac boat located out of the puget sound area. They loved it! They said it was an experience they would always remember. Depends on how you feel about inflatable boats and the ocean I guess. A coastal drive is definitely worth the travel if you can swing it. 🙂

    We connect with people on MFP, either they send FR or we do.. some of them will never care to reach out to you, motivate you by writing a comment or liking ur workout or food diary, etc. they sit in the Friend’s list like a corpse. What do you do with those ppl? Remove them? Remind them that we need to motivate each other (basic reason for MFP to exist)? Or just let them be there and wait that someday they will reciprocate for the motivation ur giving them to achieve their goals? Any thoughts?

    I always feel so bad when I delete people but I do if they never like, comment or interact.
    I do respond to my friends so I can’t have too many or I’d never keep up.
