@Diego_Andariego @JamesHu27192912 oops, "if not identically there"

I don't even care about the details at this point. I know, direct from my stalwart grandmothers, the hard work and sacrifice of those years and the years right after. Moms went to work. Grandmas tended gardens. Several of my husband's relatives went to CA and worked in the CCC camps. One grandmother, while caring for her husband felled by stroke, tilled, planted, and harvested 1/2 acre garden by herself, canning for their needs, selling the rest at a makeshift stand at the end of her driveway. If not indentically there, it happened in increments all over this nation. @PapaGamer

July 1943. WWII. Rationing. Canned food went to troops. Fresh food barely made it to cities. USDA said: “Plant Victory Gardens. Feed yourselves.” In McPherson County, Kansas, the men were gone — drafted or working war plants in Wichita. Left behind: 42 widows, average age 67, all from German Mennonite families. Their kids called them the “Garden Grandmas.” Problem: no men to plow. No gas for tractors. County had 1 horse left — blind in one eye. So Grandma Hilda Penner, 71, organized them. They used push plows from 1890. Hooked 4 grandmas to a plow like oxen. Took turns. 6 AM to 9 PM. They broke 18 acres behind the church. Planted everything: potatoes, beans, cabbage, onions. No fences, so they slept in shifts with brooms to beat off rabbits and deer. They canned 9,000 quarts that fall. Ran a depot out of the church basement. Rule: take what you need, leave what you can. Nobody in the county went hungry in winter ’43. City folks from Wichita drove 60 miles with empty jars. The War Department sent a man to film them. He said “smile.” Hilda said: “We smile when the cellar’s full.” She was holding a plow, not a flag. They kept it up till 1945. Last jar was dated August 14 — V-J Day. Hilda wrote on it: “We won too.” #WWII #VictoryGardens #1943 #KansasHistory #HomeFront

@Hunter_Eagleman I don't think it would be indelicate to suggest that the Somali community that raped government coffers for $Billions look out for their own.

Somalians in Minnesota WANT reparations now?!🖕🏼

@JDunlap1974 Yes.

2 Guatemalans indicted in FL for rqping a 7 year old, which carries the death penalty in FL Do you believe they should be put to death

@HillbillyDNA We were always excited to see the "lightening bugs" come out!

People from the 80s and before ….. did the night sky light up with these 💡

@KellogCreek @SJamess15 @sharkclc1 @gilbohouse @PapaGamer Hmmm... creeping thyme. I'll have to look that up. We had our retaining walls redone last year. Now have to replant 2+ levels.

@SpeakingOut59 @SJamess15 @sharkclc1 @gilbohouse @PapaGamer Heading to the nursery for some a few some creeping thyme. This space could use a little ground cover accents. Then I will had the rocks, etc.

Help! I'm at my wit's end ... ... with X help center. "Contact us" has "0" Chat topics! I cannot access my DMs. Asking me to enter a passcode that I do not have, or have a record of ever having. Cannot access it if I had one. Cannot change what I do not have. Attempt to create one by using "change passcode" doesn't work. No other options provided. GROK suggestion to try DMing @Premium met with SCREEN TO ENTER PASSCODE! Question: How do we fix this?

@MargauxR15 @JamesHu27192912 And as much as we do, we still fall short. You can bet God richly blessed them.

@JamesHu27192912 We have a lot to live up to!

@JamesHu27192912 This made me cry ... nothing but pride and joy for those women and their unwavering sacrifice, their strength. Along with their men off to war, the very best of America. 🇺🇲

@KellogCreek @SJamess15 @sharkclc1 @gilbohouse @PapaGamer I admire your green thumb!

@SpeakingOut59 @SJamess15 @sharkclc1 @gilbohouse @PapaGamer Afternoon. I have carved into the lawn area to expand my garden. Just figuring out where to plant stuff.

@PapaGamer LOL!

Nice try Fed.

@KellogCreek @SJamess15 @sharkclc1 @gilbohouse @PapaGamer Or is it early evening?

@KellogCreek @SJamess15 @sharkclc1 @gilbohouse @PapaGamer Love the (looks like) morning light on the garden.

@PitTalkPodcast1 My brother would have done that ... and giggled!

@SpeakingOut59 This one is funny and old

My #FridayVibes say that Marine Corps trauma is the worst kind 😂. #SFMF

Is this problem being worked on? @Support ?

@mattvanswol Not by any parent with a semblance of maturity and responsibility! "That's certainly something a child would see in their community..."

🚨WHAT THE HELL?!!!!!! A North Carolina SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT says he sees, "...NOTHING WRONG" with Kindergarteners reading a book depicting MEN IN BDSM LEATHER OUTFITS MAKING OUT. "That's certainly something a child would see in their community..." ...SORRY, WHAT NOW?!!!!!!!
