Earthquake Thread ~ Always Updated

And thank you all for your positive thoughts and prayers on M.F.M.R (Mezzo's Friday Morning Rant.)

We are still quite a bit away from bankruptcy and we won't go down without a fight, but I see it lurking in the future with such distant financial management and a practically invisible Sales organisation (all new people appointed as well there in the top, who have no clue about printing and marketing, but still make like 400K a year at least.)

It is just utterly frustrating to see a beautiful company, with so many beautiful, hard working people, getting ruined by a puppet master board, whose only game is to shove money from one gap to the other and carry no risk themselves at all. Being a manager myself, it makes me admire my crew even more, because despite the tension, they keep putting all energy in it, day after day. It makes me a lucky and proud guy.

I know it is not just our company. It breathes through society. I just hate it when so called leaders are so ignorant toward the people they are supposed to lead and only do what they do for their own personal gain. I know I am naive, but that is why we should always put trust in our own strength and believe in those around us and the people who are dear to us and take a stand against those who pretend to mean the best for us, but are only in it to fatten their own wallet.

Okay Che Guevara, better quit before this turns into M.S.A.R (Mezzo's Saturday Afternoon Rant.) And I know there are much worse things going on in this world, like the shocking news about the tsunami in Indonesia.

My heart cries for those poor people.

The Chill of Solar Minimum

Sept. 27, 2018: The sun is entering one of the deepest Solar Minima of the Space Age. Sunspots have been absent for most of 2018, and the sun’s ultraviolet output has sharply dropped. New research shows that Earth’s upper atmosphere is responding.

“We see a cooling trend,” says Martin Mlynczak of NASA’s Langley Research Center. “High above Earth’s surface, near the edge of space, our atmosphere is losing heat energy. If current trends continue, it could soon set a Space Age record for cold.”

What kind of soup will you be making? I think I may have to copy your soup plan! : )

Well, it's kind of a hodgepodge of things. I'm using homemade turkey stock that I've had in the freezer (that's the key), but I don't have turkey meat so I'm using chicken in the soup. Will add garlic, celery, carrot, onion, tomatoes, parsley, kale, mushrooms and orzo. I usually prefer barley in soup, but for some strange reason I have 2 packages or orzo, which I rarely eat, so I'm gonna use some of that.

I think I'm craving soup because we finally had some fall weather this past week. Unfortunately it's going up to the mid to upper 80's all this week, but I'm making soup anyway in protest.

I have a smorgasbord of things I can throw together for a soup too lol! And it sounds like a good plan!

That's what's great about soup, you can make it up based on what you have on hand. It's also a great way to get lots of veggies involved, and it's typically cheap to make and low in calories (if broth-based, which is the only kind I tend to make). I'll make this pot of soup and eat it all week long.

I have a friend who, years ago, would have an annual party called "group soup". He'd invite a bunch of people over for football on a Sunday, and everyone was instructed to bring an ingredient for soup. Could be anything. He would provide the stock. Some years it turned out beautifully, other years it was overloaded with starches! Weird idea and it's a crapshoot how it turns out, but that was part of the fun. There were always other snacks of course, in case the soup sucked.
