How long before you cooked the meat has the pig been slaughtered?
It sounds like there was a fair amount of decay already by the odor and the presence of maggots. They beat you to the feast (or your dog's feast anyways) : /.

I have no way of knowing how long it had been since the pig had been slaughtered. I purchased a 3-pound tray of pork neckbones on Friday afternoon. The celephane wrapping had been ripped so the meat could have been exposed to flies even before it left the store. I cooked the lion's share of the meat on Friday evening then stored most of it in the fridge. On Monday evening I took the three remaining cuts from the package and I could smell a slight odor of decay. Since I was going to give the cooked product to my dog I did not worry about it. The raw meat would had to been exposed to flies in order for the larva to be active. During the cooking process the larva must have spawned from the heat.

Last Saturday I cleaned the house, did my laundry, mowed the grassed then washed my new truck. It was about 5:30 p.m. when I sat down to have a beer except there was no beer in the fridge. I drove 11 miles to the nearest store (I-Mart) and ordered a 16 inch pizza to go. The clerk said it would be about ten or fifteen miutes before it was ready. Well I left I-Mart and went to the BP to buy gas and fart around a few minutes. When I came back to I-Mart I inquired about my pizza. The cook told me they did not cook my pizza because I did not give them my phone number. I told the cook that no one asked for my phone number. (I was less than thrilled about this stupidity.)
Well I went home without my pizza but I at least I purchased 6 bottles of Miller beer. When I got home I made myself a pizza from a Chef Boy Ar'Dee pizza kit that I had stashed in the cupboard.
Here lately it seems that most of my dealings with people seem to be encumbered by stupidity.

Well I went back to I-Mart this past Saturday to pick up a pizza that I ordered. Yep, I called in for a 12-inch pizza topped with hamburger. The guy didn't ask for my phone number but I gave it to him anyway. I also picked up 6 bottles of Miller beer then went back to the house to pig out on pizza and beer.
That pizza made me drunk! burp ...

On August 1, I went to see my Doc. He asked me about my diet. I told him that I try to eat one unhealthy meal each day. HARR HARR HARR HARR, He says. I then told him that was better than eating three unhealthy meals each day. He called on August 3, to inform me that all the lab work on my blood was normal or favorable.
Today, I have eaten two unhealty meals, one for breakfast and one for lunch. I went to the Dixie Castle II at lunch. The waitress was one hot sex pot. She brought me a platter with a hot greasy fried hamburger that was dressed with mustard, pickles and sliced onions. There was also a generous serving of hot, crispy, greasy, salty french fries. She also brought me a plate of fresh sliced tomatoes and a tall glass of water. It was a mighty fine meal it was. I reckon that I need to eat a healthy meal tonight to balance out my day. Well I reckon I'll have me a plate of garden fresh veggies that includes boiled squash, black eyed peas, sliced tomatoes, sliced onion and a pan of buttermilk cornbread.

When I was five years old my brother was in the first grade. There was no Kindergarten at our school so I had to stay home each day. My brother would come home everyday talking about school. One of the things that he liked to talk about was recess. He talked about what kind of snack foods that his friends would bring for recess. I immediately assumed that recess was a snack food such as a Moon Pie or banana or candy bar. Recess sounded like the best part of school to me. My mother made sure that he had the best possible recess each day when she sent him off. I didn't get a recess because I was not in school.

There are two types of people in General Discussion Forum:
1) Those that post 2) Those that don't
There are more than two types of people in the world so don't ever cotton to the nonsensical notion that there are only two types of people in the world.

Yesterday I was stung by a guinea wasp and it hurt like hell. It crawled up the left leg of my jeans and stung me just above my knee.
I was really insulted as all I was doing was taking pictures of a green spider and her egg case, they were on a stalk of Goldenrod. Do not know what kind of spider she is....

Well well well, it is nice to see 4thedreamgiver posting here again. I hope that you are doing well. Well I have taken up a new hobby and normally I would have posted it in my topic, Avocations II, but I would be guilty of bumping. Just this week I decided that I enjoy playing pool/billiards to such extents that I am going to buy myself a billiard table for Christmas this year. I go out about twice each week to shoot pool at a local tavern. Throwing darts and table shuffle board are other games that I have picked up.
The link below explains the difference between pool and billards.
Thank you kind sir, I am doing extremely well. The pictures I captured of the lady spider and her egg sack are just outstanding, they are actually worth the wasp sting.

Well I just learned that only the first $80,000.00 of income in the U.S. is subject to social security tax. There is NO social security tax (a 15% tax) on income above $80,000. If you did not know this it means you are earning less than 80-K per year.
Just yesterday I went to my tax consultant to get my tax report filed. (I had filed for an extension back in April and the deadline is October 15.) After the numbers were crunched my spouse and I discovered we were entitled to a refund of $148.00. The tax consultant charged us $139.00 (so we netted about 9.00) but I am not complaining. If we had gone to a CPA our bill would be about $500.00 for the same filing. Today I feel two inches taller and twenty pounds lighter.

Well I am posting for no other reason except to write that I got a letter in the mail that had a credit card in it. The credit card company wanted to me to agree to a credit card that charged an interest rate of 29.9%. And what did I do? I asked myself, why don't they just charge me 99.9% interest rate? And then what did I do? I tore the letter up into little teeny weeny bitty pieces and stuck those teeny weeny bitty pieces in the self addressed pre-postage-paid envelope then mailed the letter back to the credit card company from hell.

Credit Cards are the bane of this society, luring people to purchase things when they dont have the money to afford it in the first place. I like Debit cards, no interest, and i can spend only that money which i have.
Btw, 29.9% is very less. Here in India they charge us 42%

While credit cards can cause many problems with irresponsible people, I feel in many respects they are a boon, especially when responsibly used. Online commerce would be much more difficult without them.
I don't think its the card themselves that lure people to spend, but the way the companies advertise them, or rather, don't directly advertise a need for personal responsibility.
But hey, I have an amazing paper / credit card / cd / everything shredder for those annoying little offers .
On a side note, I once heard a story about someone who received some offer (credit card or other) and mailed back in the pre-paid enveloped around 30-45 cents. He then demanded that the company return his money (after I presume they contacted him about it), and they sent him a check for that amount. Love that one .
This is going to make a great discusson/debate topic... as I have much to say against what you said, so I am going to open one soon on GD. Please join in the discussion.
Thanks PD for giving us topics to argue on. LOL! That was said in good jest!

The best that I can figure is that there are two types of know-it-alls.
1) The first and most common type is a person that thinks they know it all and they want to tell everybody what to do, how to do it and when to do it. This type of know-it-all is almost always a loquacious person and is often a megalomaniac to boot. This type of person will offer you advice on how to kill a bear even though they have never hunted for a bear.
2) The second type of know-it-all is a highly intelligent person that has a vast knowledge of many subjects. This type of know-it-all is usually a non loquacious person and they are prone to mind their own business and not offer unwarranted advice.
Almost all of my friends (including my brother) are type-1 know-it-alls. One of my friends is a type-2 know-it-all but he is prone to offer unwarranted advice from time to time.

PD There are those consider themselves the BEST if, for no other reason; Than on the one hand, they don’t know any better or on the other, don’t want to know any better !

Hello pinna - yes and as you can see your thread now runs to 25 pages.
Well, in answer to your question. YellowFreak.Megan's last post on Quoteland was in 2004.
