On a more serious side it sounds like the bill in question could solve the...

It's not 'just' you; yes, I also think the "irony" is getting a little 'thick'

And without getting too deep into the 'Frey" :poo:(pun intended) here, seems that there is from differing opinions a...

You know, I have spent several years of my life confined to a bed, hooked up to wires and dependent upon others for cleaning and feeding me. I have experienced serious illness. All under the age of...

First off: :chillpill::chillpill:

As I see it there are 2 questions on the table:

1) Has the manure smell gotten worse from decades ago? If so, why? Changes in methods of holding or...

I can't tell you how trite and silly the accusations from the campaigns and supporters of both Noreen Evans and Lynda Hopkins that the other one recently moved into the district sound to me.
...

Thank you again to all of the people who have given the kind respectful responses! It means a lot, and reflects highly on you as well. ...Thank you!!

Here is more proof of the toxicity of manure!...

"Dick", if you are going to continue to make such aggressive posts, you are going to need to supply your real name and a headshot and take responsibility for your comments. You've listed "Dick...

As part of our Informing to Empower mission, our non-profit media website, The Sonoma Independent, has revised our Candidates Video debate for 5th District County Supervisor to focus on Evans and...

Barry, I mean this with my fullest, deepest sincerity. You are one of the most intelligent, heart-filled men I have ever encountered. You seriously have such a deep, wise and assured way of...

Interesting reading - on both sides. But I have a lighter side I just have to share.
While visiting the Cradle of Mankind in South Africa - I smelled the most wonderful flower - it smelled purple...

Sigh. So much for keeping the funding issue out of this thread.

I'm finding our current active discussion thread "What's with alll the Lynda Hopkins signs?" rather redundant these days, besides the discussion wandering way beyond the title, which I now notice is...

I'm just wondering if everyone is looking at the right culprit. I was told that the strong odor has more to do with whey the byproduct of making yogurt, cheese and cottage cheese. This whey is fed to...

Putting aside your continued bullying, I don't think you understood what the link you cited said:



If we take this at face value, or more precisely nose value, given that we can smell it, it...

Indeed you do. And apparently that fear is well founded!

You need to learn how to read, please. Go back and read it again.
And I don't appreciate the way you bashed the person who started this topic. You are being cruel intentionally.
Here's a word for...

Hello friends!

I understand that we are in an agricultural area, rich and beautiful and bountiful. I also understand that there is a need for fertilizer! ...However, when the smell wafts over the...

Well, if you had your choice between this great Paul Simon song, and an English drinking song that's really hard for most people to sing that's all about the War of 1812, which would you choose for a...

Another Woman

Another woman
would keep her mouth shut,
not spout fervent beliefs
like a speaker on a soapbox.

Another woman
would have chosen
equity over experience,

"We come in the age's most uncertain hour and sing an American tune"--Yes.
Thank you, Larry. And thank you, Paul Simon.

American Tune

Many's the time I've been mistaken and many times
confused.

Yes, and often felt forsaken and certainly misused.

But I'm all right, I'm all right, I'm just weary to my
bones.

Before Evil

Before evil
my own goodness shrinks
before self-righteousness
my voice quavers
before those who know an angry God
with contempt for life
I tremble,
before those who hold

Let America Be America Again


Let America be America again.
Let it be the dream it used to be.
Let it be the pioneer on the plain
Seeking a home where it is free.

American Dream

American Dream,
American Nightmare
America the beautiful,
prophecy of Blake,
democratic vista of Whitman,

harbinger of a new humanity,
melting pot for Europeans,

Candles in Babylon

Through the midnight streets of Babylon
between the steel towers of their arsenals,
between the torture castles with no windows,
we race by barefoot, holding tight

“Chin Up, Stiff Upper Lip,”

the father would intone, winking his eyes,
with the accent he pilfered from the movies of his youth,

Enemies

If you are not to become a monster,
you must care what they think.
If you care what they think,

how will you not hate them,
and so become a monster
of the opposite kind? From where...

Twas the night before Solstice
And all thru the forest,

The pagans were dancing
And singing a chorus

Earth, water, fire, air
We are everywhere!
