Late summer mushroom haul

I stumbled upon a large cache of Chanterelles last evening. In the back yard of the AL Post I work at. Probably $100 worth! So excited but won’t get to prepare any until at least Monday evening due to double shift today and work and party/bbq tomorrow. Safely stored in brown paper in the crisper till I get to ATTACK!

Leaves time for you all to share fave chanterelle recipes.

Desperate for housing - KCMO Northland

I recently moved back to KC MO area from Alaska to be nearer to my grandchildren.

I could not rent an apartment due to no proof of income upon my arrival. (Had proof only from AK and was not accepted). I now have proof of income but I guess due to the time of year…affordability is a huge barrier. Apartment complexes price fix on demand.

I found a roommate situation at the end of July. Moved in and one month later had to vacate due to my roommate having a mental health breakdown. It was bad and I packed my belongings within an hour and got the eff out!!! So, I am back living with my good friend but can’t stay here long.

So many scams out there for housing it is scary.

If you know of a rental property in Gladstone, Liberty, Claycomo or that area I would appreciate a contact.

Yesterday, I drove to ten different complexes. So much lying and bait and switch crap my head was about to explode. Example: $895 one bed unit online was $1100 when I arrived on site. Example: Available units…arrive on site and they say that available units are months out-Nov/Dec
(Why not say join waiting list???). Example: House I called on and got appointment to see was actually for sale not for rent (Realtors will do ANYTHING to get a showing-ffs!)
Example: another company texted me “ are you REALLY interested?” WTAF???
Number turned out to be from Lubbock TX.


The above examples are just a few I have had to deal with and it scares me that I cannot find housing.

Right now I am desperately seeking a single family dwelling or apartment that is actually available, at a price of $700-$1000.

Thank you for ANY leads.

Pillow Guy's HUGE, PERFECT plan revealed at Aug 16,17 "symposium "

My Pillow Guy plans drone surveillance of Louisiana voting sites, report says:

BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana Illuminator) -

My Pillow pitchman Mike Lindell, a prolific purveyor of unfounded 2020 election fraud, revealed a new strategy Thursday to sniff out suspicious activity at polling precincts, the Daily Beast reports. It involves Louisiana, drones and potentially breaking the law.

Lindell shared his plans with attendees at a symposium in Springfield, Missouri, called the Election Crime Bureau.

((((Here’s the HUGE, PERFECT plan he said in marketing for the “symposium “ was sent to him by God…my words))))

A new “wireless monitoring device” he touted can scrape data from nearby smartphones and computers with internet access. If a WMD — not to be confused with a weapon of mass destruction — detects a new device coming online, it could prove a Chinese plot to hack voting machines and switch votes from Republicans, he said.

The WMDs can be placed on drones that can be flown into or near polling places, Lindell said, who then steered a drone into the event venue to demonstrate.

“We now can catch them in a lie,” Lindell told the audience.

DeSantis mini me State Superintendent in Oklahoma is one to watch out for!

A post he retweeted or retiktoked (whatever) may be causing bomb threats to Union Public Schools. They are certainly happening and this guy is wacko!
He allowed first religious charter school in the nation and was recently in the news for that. Only been on the job 8 months and sadly was elected.

The linked story details both. Basically he is DeSantis in OK public schools. OMG. This shit happening on so many fronts is mind boggling and beyond.

Oklahoma Democrats are calling for an impeachment probe of Ryan Walters, the state’s superintendent of public instruction, citing a range of recent issues, including bomb threats against a school district following one of Walters’ provocative social media posts.

In a statement Tuesday, state House Democrats said they’ve made a formal request to the GOP speaker to set up a bipartisan committee to investigate whether there’s sufficient evidence to impeach Walters. The Democratic caucus cited Walters’ “consistent pattern of inflammatory language aimed at our public education teachers, outright lies and targeted attacks on local control.”
