Reply to This may be considered an unpopular opinion but, Whoopie Pies made with shortening are gross. Cream cheese or butter is best. by Rootool
I agree. I have a friend that makes the filling with Crisco and they taste, well, just like shortening. Horrible.

Not an old timer but the old timers spend their time standing around. Seen em wear sketchers out there. Go for Chippewas in the spring summer fall. If it's super sloppy go for muks avoid Carolinas. If your gonna be out there freezing your ass off get some refrigiwears.

Holy shit I went for a regular grocery run this evening, wasn't even thinking of the storm. It was like the zombie apocalypse in there. I was not prepared.

I wouldn’t. There’s better opportunities elsewhere.

I have my own flock but I saw yesterday that market basket has one of the brands at 2.99 a dozen. Everything else was at least 5.50-6.50

It’s a nice city.
It does also have housing prices like a major city without any of the amenities a major city has.

You’d better have a good paying job lined up or rich parents. Apartments are on par with Boston but salaries are not.
Aside from cost, it’s a great city. It has its issues (homelessness, NIMBYism, etc), but overall it has a lot to offer and the people I know living there now enjoy it.

Thank Fluffyheady, your exactly right. The increase in price due to the shortage was factually measured to equal less than a 25 cent increase not more than double.

Redwings, when I was skinny enough to bend over to tie them.
Now that I'm a fat old guy it's Justins square toes, because i can slip them on.
IDK if Redwings offer a pull on design or not.

Red Wing and Timberland are top brands. I used to work construction years ago and Red Wings were always popular for their comfort, durability and waterproof. They are expensive though. Timberland are a close second among others.

A quick google search and I found a local farmer advertising and you’re right - this is honestly the way to go - support local farmers and get better quality food

Hey, do you have anything In specific article wise?? I’ve been doing lots of research about the Bangor area, specifically with a 1895 “Wild man” encounter with Lumberjacks logging up there, so any more info about people up there would be great!

How does this make any sense? You can't just say "basic economics" and walk away.
There is a shortage. If prices increase to a "reasonable" level, profits remain the same even if prices increase. There are less eggs to be sold, so you increase prices to compensate for lower overall sales / lower supply. If you increase profits beyond a pre-shortage level, that means you are jacking up prices well beyond what they would actually need to be to "weather the storm" of bird flu.
It's because of corporate greed and oligopolistic practices.

Maybe try looking local. My mother has 8 hens and they are laying a bunch of eggs. She has to give a bunch away, obv we take a bunch when we visit.
But I see signs all the time people selling eggs. They taste way better, look way better too.
