If you ever get the chance and can buy eggs from the farm you will really notice the difference from your store boughten egg.



My wife grew up on a farm and doesn't like chicken bought from a store. Says it doesn't taste right.

Same here -- been getting around 20 a year from somewhere

You simply can't beat "Farm Fresh"

Sometime let me take a moment to explain the difference between fertilized and non-fertilized chicken eggs. [:D]

And what a coincidence! There is an article in the Strib this morning about the shift toward buying from farms that have more humane treatment of animals:

Funny how that happens sometimes ...




Kurtis -> RE: Vikes water cooler thread (12/23/2017 8:15:19 AM)

Hi folks. Glad to see you're still here.

Can't wait for the game tonight.




Lynn G. -> RE: Vikes water cooler thread (1/1/2018 10:19:36 AM)

I just realized that the Vikings first playoff game comes on the day I leave for St. Thomas to do hurricane relief work. I sure didn't plan that very well six weeks ago when I signed up. [:@]

God bless you for your philanthropy. I don't have the kind of life where I could do such things.

It's always cool to see someone giving of themselves to help others.

Cool beans. When Donna worked at Midway I flew to St Thomas and back for $10. Loved it down there. Thank you for your efforts.

I sure don't want to wish my life away but I'm looking forward to doing some cool stuff, too, when I hit my full IPERS in two years.




Lynn G. -> RE: Vikes water cooler thread (1/1/2018 10:43:19 AM)

I'll still be sending all of the positive vibes I can muster from the air. The game should still be going when I land there, but with a depleted infrastructure I doubt I'll be able to see any of it. And then I fly back on a Monday 8 days later, so I would also miss the next game.

But by golly I'll be home in time for the Superbowl and the parade that follows!

(How's that for positive thinking?)

I'm lucky that I work as a freelance writer, so my time is my own and I can schedule other obligations pretty easily. I also visited St. Thomas many years ago, right out of college, so I got to see it in its glory. I suspect the sights will be a little different this time around, but I'm going to plan another trip back in a year or so with my husband so that we can contribute to the tourism dollars that they so dearly depend on.

Daniel Lee Young -> RE: Vikes water cooler thread (1/15/2018 1:39:21 AM)

To put this where it should sorta go....
I’ll be ok..

I have and continue to slog through an emotional, medical, mental and legal cesspool of inexplicable ridiculousness that I would not wish on anyone, no matter how much I disliked them.

It’s both personal and privately, a living hell on earth, that words can not do justice.

It is the little things, like my wife, the love we share, and the “ stolen moments” when she gets to share the bits and pieces of our daughters life she is allowed to send my way, like crumbs from the table of life... the pictures Julie shares, the little things my daughter gets to say or do that let me know she still exists, still loves me, still knows I love her and that someday, someday, this crapfest of busybody ****ups will be out of our family’s life and we will all be together again and get on with living, that gives me the strength to bear up under the stress and strain of it all.

Our family has been dealt a kind of injustice that defies explanation..

I understand and accept my role and responsibilities for the perception and the recriminations that have befallen my family’s situation.

The problem is, and I’m not joking, is that the nature of this situation has been so grossly exaggerated that more harm has been done to my daughter and my wife, their lives uprooted, destroyed, ruined.. whatever you care to call it.. It’s almost, but not quite, as if I had committed a heinous crime...which, in actuality, I was charged with doing..

But, I had my day in court, my charges were summarily dismissed and those records, sealed, because of deliberate and malicious perjury.

Unfortunately, criminal “allegations “ also drag in social workers, Children’s services and a whole host of other complex complications that I have been forced, albeit willingly, to contest and contend with.

It is this “secondary, collateral damage” that I am dealing with.

I am doing everything that is ordered of me by a juvenile court judge, to prove that I can provide a safe and stable family life for my daughter and wife.

The kicker in all this is that the one person, my daughter’s Therapist, who thinks I am unable to do that or be that kind of person has Never even talked to me, has conveniently “missed” a court summons, never, ever witnessed myself and my daughter have any kind of interaction nor did she even give me the chance or decency to address the original concerns prior to just taking our daughter away and making her a ward of the glorious state of Nebraska.

I have jumped through every hoop, taken every test, answered every challenge and allegation with complete and total candor, honesty, and integrity, yet my daughters therapist, with her bachelors degrees in therapy and counseling therapy has, despite 2 separate and independent evaluations by PHD’d psychologists, determined and reported, to the juvenile court judge, that she does not feel “the time is right” for me to have even as much as a supervised phone contact, with my daughter.

I have a lawyer, we work this ‘person’ over and over, and have even had her admit that she has made some judgements based purely on “hearsay “, yet in the great state of Nebraska, the requirement for proof or evidence of anything at the juvenile justice court level is only 51% one way or the other for evidence, and hearsay is considered evidence, to tip the scale of “ justice and proof of risk for harm”, one way or the other.

So my daughter’s therapist, by her “preponderance”of ‘evidence ‘,(51%), has complete control and the backing of the department of health and human services, under the guidance of the court in the great state of Nebraska, to deny me any contact with MY Daughter.

445 days, three foster families, literally hundreds of hours of separate or family counciling, therapy sessions, examinations by psychologists and psychiatrists, and the judge in our case, while giving my wife supervised visits and controlled event or outings with our daughter, will not and has not allowed me ANY sort of sessions or time to”reconcile” with my daughter, per this under qualified and hypocritical “ therapists “ recommendations.

As we grind along now, the district attorneys and Rylee’s guardian ad litem have moved over to either in favor of or neutral about my having contact, of some kind with my daughter, and my psychologist, who has a PHD and is on the state board for these kinds of juvenile cases, recommends and the judges stated goal is reunification of our family, this *****, who has never even spoken to me, continues to draw this farce out.

Why?
I can’t say, but I’m leaning toward “she’s a vindictive ####*” who is getting paid by the state for therapy work with my daughter.

So yea, I have this cross to bear, and I an not getting any younger and my daughter growing up under a situation where she is being forced to live in a broken family situation, for, imo, no reason.

C’est la vie.




SoMnFan -> RE: Vikes water cooler thread (1/15/2018 5:05:32 AM)

Cannot imagine all you have been thru, Dan.
Nothing but the best thoughts, my man.
Hang. In. There.




Phil Riewer -> RE: Vikes water cooler thread (1/15/2018 6:51:38 AM)

Dan I have been thinking of your situation a ton...my prayers are with you brother. I hope you get your daughter back soon.

It's not a C'est la vie situtaion.

You're being screwed. The best place for a child is with their family. When so many are making the obvious case that you are not a detriment to your child's well being...

I would be a wreck if the State tried to take any of my kids away from me.

Stay strong. You will have your day eventually. You will get your daughter back and then you can move out of that hellhole and get your life back.

I am infuriated for you. Wish there was something I could do to fix your situation.

Good Luck

I feel that we all really are.

As great as yesterday was I know a warm embrace with your daughter will make it seem like a 3-0 pre season win. That's important life stuff. I hope you get that embrace soon.




Ian Joseph -> RE: Vikes water cooler thread (1/15/2018 9:50:29 AM)

God bless you Dan.




Daniel Lee Young -> RE: Vikes water cooler thread (1/15/2018 12:51:08 PM)

Thanks all for the pm’s , kind words, and yes even the prayers..

I have learned, the hard way, a lot of tough lessons about myself, society, “justice”, perception and a host of other things.

I have been humbled.

I am not as smart as I thought I was and my ignorance on things I took for granted has been exposed in ways that humility is the only lesson to be learned.

I know there are those out there, on this board who are secretly and spitefully gloating over my situation..

That is a fact of human nature.

To those people , I say: “ have fun with that.. enjoy your moment.. revel in the feeling you get because your opinion and selfishness only affects you and those who have to be within your sphere of influence.”

Compared to what I’m dealing with, your pettiness is a flyspeck of flyshit in a mountain of pepper...

Carry on with your sorry ass gloating.

I can forgive you, because I have forgiven, myself.




Lars -> RE: Vikes water cooler thread (1/15/2018 1:04:38 PM)

Dan,

I may be one of the people you have on IP. I hope not.

Because I want you to be able to know that I am very sorry for what you and your family are going through. I truly wish you the best and await the day you post on here that it is all behind you and your family is all back together like they should be.

Stay strong man!

No Lars, we butted heads yes, but I respect you because you rarely, if ever, sank to my level, when I was at my worst “Danimal”.

Peace, bro.

marty -> RE: Vikes water cooler thread (1/16/2018 7:46:57 AM)

Any suggestions for a cool place in the Twin Cities to watch the Viking/Eagle game ?

I prefer watching the game in Minnesota. I watched last week at Mystic Lake casino, liked it, and am leaning towards going back there, just exploring all options.

It needs to be a place that can tolerate some loudness from a fan [8D], and a fan that might mention biased officiating if it seems like there is a lot in the 2nd half, and a place where others might get loud and have a good time.

If I had the money, I would go to Philly.
