Samuel and I calved a cow today. First time for me, and first time for Samuel since he was a teenager. There is something so thrilling about helping in a situation where you could very likely lose the cow and calf, and instead end up with both healthy and fine.
Samuel wasn't even meant to check the cows then either. He'd checked them earlier in the day, but then I was with him this afternoon and he wanted to show me the new calves. I also got to meet the newest of calves!
And we have 3 1/2 pet lambs right now. The 1/2 refers to a lamb we're currently bottle feeding that might die tonight, and if it doesn't, we'll probably be mothering it onto a ewe instead of keeping it as it's a boy we don't want to keep.
Farming life is certainly keeping us busy!
I also didn't realise I'd be using my brain so much.
4 lambs. 1 needs feeding 350ml every 4 hours. 1 needs 150ml every 3 hours. 1 needs between 150ml - 350ml, depending on if it's drinking a full bottle yet as it's been unwell, and fed every 3-4 hours depending on how it's doing. 1 needs 150ml every 3 hours, but off schedule to everyone else because it was found mid morning and fed as soon as it was brought in.
I feel like a lamb needs feeding every hour around here lol.

And we're also mothering two calves onto a cow.

@FollowingHim2 has taken on the responsibility of animal health for the farm, which alongside mothering really is her natural place in life. She's always wanted to be a farmer's wife, and I'm very glad to finally manage to have her in that role. She has taken to it very naturally. And it is great to have successes together. Not everything is a success... But successfully calving our first cow together is an important milestone on the road to feeling proficient!
 
LutheranSatire is always amusing, and this video is no different. I am not endorsing any theological view in it. But regardless of what you think of the preceding video, when you hit the 4:57 mark you're going to crack up laughing if you know anything about the history of polygamy and the reformation! I honestly can't believe he included this particular historical reference!

I get loads of scams that come into my junk emails. I was getting a run of ones that were from UPS saying I had a package to pick up (they don't deliver here). The latest ones are from New Zealand Transport Agency, trying to get me to 'renew my licence'. They've just changed it to renew my 'vehicle' licence to try and sound more legit. I haven't told them they have to change a bunch of other things they've got wrong for NZ before they look even remotely legit lol.

Have y'all seen Jim Browning's youtube videos? He exhibits and explains lots of different phone scams and posts real anti-scam operations including hacking into scammers systems, monitoring their calls, alerting their victims, alerting police, and much more. Because police are so far behind/unwilling to catch these types of predators, he personally and with a team undertakes these operations in an effort to expose and slow down scammers. He locates them, hacks into the video feeds of their security systems (there are entire corporations in India dedicated to international conning and thievery), and of course plays a bit with them for the fun of it and to unnerve them. It's eye opening to see the actual size and capabilities of the organizations behind the somewhat comical emails and heavily accented "Microsoft technicians" on the phone.

And Christians are truly disliked by atheists.

What I find particularly strange in that table, shocking in fact, is that universally every single Christian denomination likes Jews more than they like any other Christian denomination - i.e. Catholics like Jews more than they like Protestants and vice versa. And the differences are very large in some cases. I understand Christians liking Jews - but liking them more than other Christians? That should cause people to pause and reflect where their priorities lie.

Also, so much for antisemitism - every single group likes Jews. Everyone. No group has a net unfavourable opinion of Jews, Jews are the most loved group out of everybody. Which means there is basically no such thing as antisemitism any more in the USA (and I suspect the same would apply to most Western, Asian and African countries), what we see is the exact opposite, near-universal "prosemitism". This is a good thing as it heals a past problem - but it also means that old trope shouldn't continue to be milked. It's obsolete, yet it keeps getting brought up. These days there's probably only really antisemitism in the Middle East and some parts of Eastern Europe (and I'm not dismissing the fact it's obviously a serious issue in the Middle East).

The groups that are actually disliked are Evangelical Christians (lowest overall rating), Mormons (only Catholics like them), and Muslims (only Mormons and Agnostics like them). If we're going to worry about prejudice in the West, we should be talking about antiChristianism.

It is kind of interesting to me how the definition has changed. Semite is from Shemite and means a descendant of Shem. The modern definition actually says something specific like being against Jews and all things Jewish....or something like that.
There is still a lot of antisemitism in the world....much if it coming from the very people who want to be protected from it themselves.
Arabs are descendants of Abraham. Huge numbers of Christians are also descendants of Abraham. In my experience Jews don't have a "good Samaritan" kind of attitude or include others that are likely to share their ancestry in that Semite catagory.

Not actually too surprising at all, Samuel.

After all, the Bible does say something to the effect of "I will bless those who bless you, and those who curse you I will curse," even if most 'xtian denominations' don't necessarily know who the "you" in there actually is.

And maybe they can read something like that which actually IS in there, better than they can a prohibition against 'polygyny' which isn't.

And He promised that those who actually DO know Him would be "hated, for My Name's sake," and worse. No surprise that those to whom He warned that He will say, "I never knew you..." hate those He does.

The priority ought to be His Word, as Written.

And therein lies the rub.

Just me, but I think some of this is we don't really notice other Christians all the time. But we do notice the Jewish folks.

It's also socially unacceptable to say you don't like the Jews so a number of Christians who harbor bad feelings for The Tribe will not say so when they get polled by some random stranger.

I mean I never go around here wondering who is and isn't Mormon and some people make a big deal about that. But the Jewish people in town all stand out and most everyone knows who they are and are very aware that they're Jewish.
