Resort staff have been very helpful, bringing medicine and extra blankets, but even getting up to use the bathroom has become a Herculean task and I can’t keep anything down more solid than tea lol

    that is a really weird thing to just bring up and tell a person, I’m not gonna lie (them telling you not you telling me)

    also their “family garden” must have been fuckin’ huge if they needed to worry about getting the crop in before dark

    but yeah I think that’s why there are so many frequent recalls for e. coli contaminated lettuces, greens, etc. (not people pooping in the fields but bad hygiene)

      it’s actually because of the animal waste they use on the fields

      I mean you brought up a cook scratching their backside. Idk how big the garden was, I wasn’t even born then. I can tell you a lot of family gardens now aren’t in the yard in my town, more on family owned property a road or two over, to keep rodents and snakes away from the homes.

      Eta: underpaid farm workers absolutely will go wherever.

        no yea I get it I meant them deciding to tell you, lol, like I just dump my life on people because what else am I gonna do with it, but I still know it’s kinda weird to be like “so I took a shit in my family’s garden when I was a kid because like fuck walking to the outhouse, am i right” yknow

          I get you. People tell weird stuff sometimes, I suppose being elderly lends to it too. I have neighbors who know me one minute and ask who I am five minutes into the conversation. You get to where you just remind them without interrupting the flow, you know?
