Who gives a hoot...........

Does anyone realllly care, if the price of eggs is DOWN nearly $2 dollars nationwide?

Egg prices spiked out of control because of a bird Flu - so they had to slaughter a lot of hens - even though Trump is doing everything he can to destroy your country for his own gains - I don’t think anyone was holding him responsible for that - btw overall the price is still going up and will continue to do so because he has no clue what he is doing :) so just enjoy the ride

I came across this Turkish saying don’t know if it applies to anything or anywhere in the world - but thought I would throw it out there 

“When a Clown moves into a palace, he doesn’t become a King. The palace becomes a Circus.”  - and to be fair you don’t show up in suit to a night out in a circus 

Why care about the price of eggs ...care about the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) scheduled to sunset by the end of 2025 is made permanent ...that will more than cover the small increase in the price of eggs...

Modern Turkish proverb

“When a sultan moves into a circus, he doesn’t become a clown. The circus becomes a palace."

So the stock market is bleeding like crazy because he is doing a good job ? Interesting take I guess we can invent a saying “because people that like you are bigger clowns doesn’t make you less of a clown” maybe that can be suitable to use at some point somewhere in the world - who knows

“Don’t blame a clown for acting like a clown.  Ask yourself why you keep going to the circus.”

I have never said I don’t find Trump or his followers fascinating - for me it is like going to the Zoo - I guess it is just funny to observe something so far from a normal thinking human-being that yet claim they are - and I am looking at the whole thing from a distance so for me it is more in a lol way I am looking at all this - don’t know how I would feel if I was living there - but that is not likely to ever happen as US is the shithole of the free world (more so now than ever I might add) - I think there are 2-3 Asian countries and a few African I would still choose under the US if I had to move there - so you still have that 

Oh ,,that's right ....I forgot you are living in a country that has been taken over by North African and Middle Eastern immigrants..

When a clown moves into a palace men who wear lipstick and dresses are glorified, women bare their breasts on your lawn and cocaine is misplaced in the palace.

Nobody misplaces cocaine.

You are projecting mate - first of all you are wrong - and secondly does it really make your country better if you were correct ? I don’t feel better because I think yours suck I just wish it was better - but I find peace in the fact that atleast 50% of you guys chose this road yourselfs wasn’t like it was forced on you - and why do you care about my opinion ?- normally it is when you deep down know it is the truth - else who the fuck cares - I don’t give a rats ass what you think about Denmark - you probably can’t even mention 3 facts about us without googling it

No need to get angry..

"you probably can’t even mention 3 facts about us without googling it"

Don't bet on that ..I know two right off the top of my head...

1.) You guys grow great tulips .

and

2.) Make delicious cheese...............

I'm not angry at all (between US and Denmark I won the lottery being born where I am - so nothing to be angry about) - it's to emphasize how much I don't care about it - that's probably wrong, but well, I'm not native nor even close to being good at English, so I can't emphasize it with fine words etc. - so that is my go to - I will say this about your facts at least I am sure you haven’t googled it 

What about those Royal Dansk cookies though, bro? Is a tin of cookies, or is it grandma's sewing kit? Maybe it's someone's weed stash. The possibilities are endless. Maybe it's filled with paper clips and rubber bands. Knick knacks. Royal Dansk tins are Denmark's greatest export. Not the cookies. The tins.

Welp, fellas. My poop is done and i'm going back to bed.

I think pigs are our biggest export item or farmacouticals or windmills etc. we are also the country that has and sell the best kind of christmas trees (so that is also pretty huge) - but yeah I get your point we are good salesmen that can basically sell anything to anybody - that is also the main reason why we are so much better off than you guys.

Or maybe it is that our government care about us rather than only caring about pocketing as much money as possible for themselves and their rich friends - it is atleast one of these two that are the main reason

You beat me to it! Without google, I know that pharmaceuticals and medical equipment/medical tech are huge exports to the U.S. This relationship started when U.S. citizens started using Royal Dansk tins to store their first aid kits.

Had that one loaded last night after my last comment but was afraid of my wive waking up and seeing the light from my phone. Without google, I am aware that windmills are also a big export to the U.S. but as far as the best Christmas trees, i'm gonna have to disagree.

@Calde13

 What species of Christmas trees do the Danes grow? For beauty, i'd take a Colorado Blue Spruce over anything Denmark produces but based on geography, i'm sure you guys produce some splendid trees. You guys are probably to far south to have Tundra but right in a goldilocks zone for coniferous forest and Christmas tree production.

I know that you knew this - so good thing you didn’t wake up the wife - I can remember you have mentioned it before  - it is mostly sold to investors from Germany, the Netherlands and UK - I must admit I don’t know that much about it (don’t know the one you mention for instance) but it is called Nordmann Fir - it isn’t considered the best exclusively for its looks but also for how long it last, how the needles feel and how few of its needles that falls of etc - it behave a lot like a fake tree (and it is considered the rolls Royce of Christmas trees in Europe at least)

@Calde13

 Of course Nordmann's! I was gonna guess that. Nordmann makes me think norse man. North man but that's not the origin of the name. They're named for some dude. They're also not native to Scandanavia and are grown on farms specifically, much as they are here.

I talked about Nordmann firs at length, in another thread around Christmas. I had a Nordmann this past Christmas, two in the past 3 years, and 3 in the past 5 years. There are tons of Christmas tree farms around me and Nordmann's have become quite popular. They are quite beautiful. The three I have had are amongst my all-time most beautiful Christmas trees, including childhood. Their longevity and needle retention are second to none. We have been known to leave our tree up for weeks after Christmas so this matters. However, the drawback to Nord's is they have no scent. I found this out after getting my first Nord home. I prefer strong scented Christmas trees. Typically one can find a full Noble that matches the beauty of a Nord while retaining a pleasant Christmas tree scent but rainless stretches during the wet season seems to have effected growth on the farms near me Nord's have just thrived more than the Noble's. They are better suited to handling dry spells.

With that said, as beautiful as Nordmann's are, I still firmly believe that Colorado Blue Spruce's are by far the most beautiful Christmas tree. They match, if not surpass Nord's for shape, branch spacing, fullness, etc but their color is unmatched. And they smell like a Christmas tree should.

I'm pretty heavy into Christmas and Christmas trees. Here in Oregon, you can literally just go into the woods and chop down a tree. Five actually. There are guidelines though and it's not as simple as it sounds. I've done it twice but now we stick to the farms. Better to support a local business anyway.

:) I will give you this one - you sound like you know this stuff way better than me - but then it is probably because yours can’t survive the trip all the way over here - yeah I know they don’t originate from here - but they are the best ones those that grow here - because our climate actually are the best for them Hehe you are not far off with your guess I suppose atleast if the name derives from here as Nordmann (the way you would pronounce it in Scandinavia not how it is spelled) does mean “man from/of the north”

Ohh just read that you knew why it was called that  but then it is probably named after a guy that came from one of the Nordic countries - it wouldn’t be that weird a surname to have in Iceland, Norway or Finland (it is mostly those 3 countries that still have Norse derived names)

They are native to the caucasus mountains. And that's definitely not a name from that region. So I would guess that the dude they are named after was the first to cultivate them, and is probably from a nordic country. Or is English but of original Nordic descent is most likely, Nordmann being somewhat anglicized.

I would guess you guys have the Christmas tree game on lock over there and are probably growing the best specimens of Nord's. They seem to be the current most popular tree in the farms I visit every year, based on the amount planted, but I still prefer Nobles. And as I said, Blue Spruces are my favorite but none of the farms plant them here. I have only had a few in life, and once since living up here. Seems sacrilegious to buy an out of state tree when I live in the pacific northwest, am surrounded by tree farms, as well as native trees in the wild.
