    Reminds me, I should be more grateful to my chickens. Even when I have to chase them down the street and get them back into the coop and I swear they are laughing at me all the while

  • And that's how the chickens started plotting against us, lol

    The "Your death postponed mine" bit is really thought-provoking. It makes you wonder about the complex relationships between people. The "Thighs cooked with soy and ginger" sounds like an interesting recipe. I'm curious how that combination turns out. And the question about gratitude? It's something we should all think about more often. What are your thoughts on these?
