Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for September 12, 2021

I don’t know what’s in most hot dogs. But I accidentally left an open pack of dogs on top of the fridge about 50 years ago. When I came back about 10 hours later, they had grown a considerable amount of greenish-blue fuzz. I’ve avoided them ever since…

Stick to Kosher hotdogs. They’re better and better for you.

and I’m sure she’ll eat it all the same.

Everything that’s left over after they package ground beef….

You’re trying to make me feel guilty for living her in the USA. Stop! For one thing, we’re able to help those countries rise up their standard of living. Even in the poorest of countries they have cell phones. How? I don’t know. But then you have our billionaires developing rockets to put satellites into space to create a planet wide internet service. Poor people can’t do that. So, you want me to apologize for all our resources? No. We do have a responsibility for how we use them, I agree.

The Answer to “do you know what’s in that hotdog?” is: “No, and neither do you”. {end of conversation}

I worked in a meat factory once. I know how hot dogs are really made. Do not eat the hot dogs..

Next up on the discussion agenda: The great ideological/political divide

36 minutes is 36 minutes except when you put chili on the hot dog. Then you only lose 27 minutes off your life.

Pork snouts and beef rectums.

What’s in hot dogs? “Everything but the Moo!”

Gotta love this…guess who is half full and who is half empty?

A hot dog is basically minced meat surrounded by an section of intestine. So after you eat it, you are, in part, a hot dog.

If everybody were to live at the same wasteful level as the USA we would need four (4) more Earths with all the same resources but none of the people

We used to be able to repair most of what we owned; now we toss most everything because it isn’t made to be repaired. I still use my double edge stainless steel razor after 30 years. The EU is requiring products to be repairable, something that we in this country should require.

Don’t worry, we here in the USA are doing our best to make our country fall apart in order to restore the balance in the world.

I not worry what goes around the world cannot help with other countries, just enjoy your walk. For me I not eat no hotdog.

Some people are too “woke” to ever be happy. That’s a sad way to live.

Fine for us, here and now. But we are ruining this planet for future generations, very rapidly.

Jan is perpetually a downer. I’d chase her away.
