Watching "It's Not Easy Being Green" on YT. There's a real feeling of a battle for control there between Ma and Pa Strawbridge. And a real problem of aesthetics -- what could be uglier than that aqueduct, the janky windmills, or more uncomfortable to use than a.) the pet pigs and b.) the outhouse, miles from your bed -- all ringed and overlooked by lots of near neighbors with much more suburban gardens. Life seems colder and smellier and damper and more hideous than necessary, as if he were sticking it to the hippie wife, a problem Angel seems to have solved by being the one in charge.
I still crave and eat meat, though far from every day. But I couldn't kill and eat pigs or geese I'd raised. I could break down a butchered pig or goose reasonably well and happily do charcuterie, but eating somebody I know would not be possible. I felt for her and skipped those episodes. Everyone I know who signals virtue by raising their own meat names them Thanksgiving and Christmas. Except for the wit who called them Chicharron and Chitlins. Haha.

Perhaps young Andrew is turning out to be a role model for me, like Trotter boy...not. I wonder what Andrew's daily rate is for being a "companion"? He is a lovely lad to throw in some cleaning as well. What are people on paying them money for ? They film making a salad...tidying up card board boxes, whinging and begging. I am not a hobby psychologist, but Trotter has frightenly many of the signs of a "Grandiose Narcissist". The entitlement, the raging temper if "caught out" or things not going his way, the manipulative skills, the vindictiveness, etc. etc. Why are people still under his spell? Is the charm not fading? And while I am asking questions, how is Tatyana? Her sister is named Karen. I bet all of my socks that Tatyana was in fact named Belinda, Belinda and Karen sounds about right. People tend to stick to sort of matching names with their kids. Tatyana must be a stage name. She must be a scammer, poor gullible Selmar. We should look after our ladies, but when he defended her I was thinking it a bit odd as he has never met her as far as I can gather. He is defending an imaginary girlfriend. I did watch Stephanie and Phillip today, a fairly interesting vlog...though a bit dull too. My wife is no longer sure that they are in fact sleeping together, and I am a bit puzzled too...she acts quite maternal with him sometimes. The one piece suit...well. No words.
You can't make this 
that's the only reason.
