Anyone know how to cook a goat leg?

Who the heck eats goat legs is what I was wondering. I can't even get my wife to cook lamb chops.

Sam's club was out of lamb so I went looking for some at the international market and saw goat, hadn't had it in a while. You should get some. Prepared right with plenty of chilis, it's delicious.

I finally got the job offer!

Aside from my hair being brown/grey, I'm kind of going for a Ms Frizzle vibe.

It's the other teachers who will have crushes, not the kids.

My family doesn't want me to work.

What kind of family dynamic is going on there? Why do other adults in the house wish for you to not work? I would think every able bodied adult in the house would work unless someone needs to stay home and watch the children.

For the past seven years, I do all the household work. Kids are in school now, and the job has summers off. They don't want to have to behave as adults. They want to continue to have me clean up after them.

That's my theory anyway. Maybe they just don't like change.

Yes. It is what you want, right? They ALL will adapt.

They gonna adapt or I'll take my kids and leave.

And that would suck for everyone.

Yes, vote, but they never offer any good candidates. The big two parties in the US are both criminal mafias. Vote anyway though.

That is why we should have ranked choice voting...would make it easier for independents to run and win.

Regardless, even if there are only two candidates, most likely you will prefer one to the other...most people have opinions are the major issues of the day.

Also propositions are often on the ballot. Where I live there are propositions that are actually proposing changes to the State constitution. Last year we had a proposition about term limits of county officials.

Yes, I agree with all of this.

I'm just disillusioned with state and national level political options.

Side note: I'm on an organizing committee of a statewide minor political party, so obviously I haven't totally given up hope.

Should I go to trade school?

I have an interview today at an auto parts store. I have very little retail experience and even less auto experience, but we'll see how it goes.

But here's another idea: teaching. I could apply to be an assistant teacher, and if I like it I can pursue certification to be a licensed teacher.

I kind of want to do both teaching and auto repair.

Haha, that's what I'm worried about! But he cancelled due to weather anyway, so this crisis of conscience is delayed until another day.
