What a wonderful point! Some people think vegetables come from the grocery store! They have no idea someone worked 24/7, no vacations etc to make sure vegetables are at the store. Thank you farmers and ranchers because if it were easy everyone would be doing it!

[@Toriana_Shavon_LaVannah_Blade]

My Dad’s vegetable garden is one of my favorite things in the world. Considering how things are going, I told him we need to start more plots and possibly build a greenhouse and clean out our barn to stock up on gardening supplies. Raising chickens for eggs would be a great addition too. There’s a great contentment that comes with gardening and self sustaining.

[@Gabistruwwelliese]

As a researcher, I loved her honesty about how research can't get you to feed three kids. Research is one of the lowest paying jobs in higher education (unless you are developing drugs to make big pharma profit). This occurs even if you are a top notch researcher. Plus, the world is in dire need for more research but researchers are not valued and funding is meager. It's sad to see how many brilliant minds have to abandon research. On the other hand, professions that make companies profit are abundant and valued despite not necessarily contributing to solving world's inequality or societal issues. People say: just find a job that is on demand, if you are doing a job that is not paying you well it's your fault not the economy's. However, most jobs that are saving the world are not high paying and people do them out of vocation. Those are the true heros for me.

Mental and psychological abuse. Nomínese es that pain or the scars. Don’t wait! Do your soul searching and do what is right for you!! YES, it is scary but after you conquer the loss of your relationship you will see that it is worth it. I am still alone and it is fine, I am content and no longer being talked down to or ignored.
