attempting to hurt my feels will only curl my lip with added growl

While wrapping up stuff last night, it’s then the words came back to me, as they do every Christmas since they were spoken at me ” put the tape down and back away from the wrapping paper ”

Ever since then, EVERY gift is now hidden in the box of straw with paw prints on the outside of the box

normally red or black ink

depending on the what former woodland critter is in the box 🙂

people know sorta know what’s in there already, by the smell of the heavy smoke scent

you don’t have a good smoke ring?

Work on it

thinking I’ve been ahead of the curve for a very long time

how so you may ask

ponder on this

governments can VAX the whole damn planet but they cannot feed the hungry?

don’t tell me they are not using food as a weapon to punish people

want to read about the biteme build back better

type in

Afghans are selling thier children to pay bills and just to eat

The food prices in America, a direct assault on the people

back to wrapping

those who process thier own from field to table fare know it’s not a cheap thing to do

everything involved cost money first things first

you have to be successful

that bullet wasn’t wasn’t free

the machines are not cheap

the bags, the gloves, the seasonsings, Grumpy E-9 trades apple branches he trims off for smoked stuff

so that’s a trade

but everything else ,all of it, cost money

I’ve not had one complaint through the years or something returned to me

different kinds smoked meats an cheeses

my gifts never last long or sit around collecting dust

Pro-tip:

for stubborn hair use a small torch for removal

one item you won’t find in my stuff is hair
