For all you Catholics (like myself) out there, it's Friday and you must do penance. I recommend the mandatory (3) Whoo Hoos and (1) Yee Haw.
Whoo Hoo, Whoo Hoo, Whoo Hoo. YeeeeHaaaa! If you misbehave on the weekend and do too much kava, then that would be (3) Bad Dogs and (1) Aw Sh_t.
Have a Blessed Day!

Very educational video. The only thing missing is your smiling face holding a bag of roots at the market. I noticed everyone was smiling too.

Turkey, as is tradition. What a wonderful day for Canada, and therefore, of course, the world.
Oh how nice! Happy Thanksgiving Grogfather and to all the other Canadians on here.
Enjoy it.

The interesting part of this is that Seedling Producer and Farmer are different roles. Wouldn't you also need to be a farmer in order to produce cuttings to sell to farmers?

When your hairshirt is going down 2nite...
Yeah, it seems the 'seedling' provider and the farmer would likely be the same person. Except when you're the one who wants to become the farmer, then you'd only be in search of a seedling supplier, so that you can become the farmer in this specific supply chain.
Out of curiosity, this is my question to the entire kava community; if 'Farmer A' grows kava and it goes through the whole chain of people, farmer>middleman>processor/exporter>importer/wholesaler>consumer and 'Farmer B' grows kava, processes it and sells direct to consumers himself, do you feel like they should cost the same amount? Should one charge more than the other, which one? Maybe I should have made a poll for this.
Note; I used the word should. Of course they could, or can, charge whatever they want...if people are willing to pay, then so be it, capitalism bla bla bla...so that's not my question. I'm curious how people generally feel they should be priced, based on the scenario given and your immediately opinion about it.
People in favor of 'Farmer B' charging the same amount per pound as the kava that went through the whole system will argue that even though Farmer B cut out some people in the middle, which could reduce the cost, he also ended up doing their jobs himself and is therefor entitled to charge the same amount of money per pound as the kava that went through the whole supply chain.
Personally, I'm conflicted and both agree and disagree with this view. It would certainly be my 1st defense if I were Farmer B, but I also get the feeling that if was being truly fair and honest and not simply going by what the current market price is or just trying to push the limits of pricing to maximize profits, Farmer B (or me in this case) could or perhaps should charge less. (and don't bother rebutting this view by saying 'well you could charge 5 dollars for it if that's what you think' or 'you could give it away for free you fuckin' hippie', I'm just curious what people generally think is the most honest and fair, for both parties.)

Bla bla bla capitalism, market dictates the prices. I mean it's a difficult question because this is capitalism pure and simple if the product is good enough to command a higher price farmer A can charge what he wants as can farmer B. Normally when the middleman is cut out of the equation the prices are lower, this rule doesn't apply to kava, but farmer B growing and doing all the work can charge what he wants. In the end capitalism, Honestly, I'd love kava to be cheaper in general because the prices keep rising because of various reasons, one day it will rise too much for this ole boy and I am sure the same goes for many out there.Yeah, it seems the 'seedling' provider and the farmer would likely be the same person.

I recomend a few: HHAHAHAHAHAHAHA's and Thank The **** Force friday is here lol .
Right now I'm on...cup 4 or is it 5 or is it 6 of the new stuff?
Doing StirFrie Friday here. Trying my hand at some a 'mangolian inspired' vegie, chicken, and mushroom type of stirfrie I found on Yumly.
With fried rice. Had a little of the Kavandu(?) after the gym, and busted out a bit (ok WAY more than I intended) into a blender. I wanted to try a blendermethod and spilled about about 1/2tbs extra into the grog fortunatly into said blender. As my Dyslexic brains speeling goes from wonky to worse...I didn't know that was possible...till now. Filtering it does make it even smoother.
On the: Oh (redacted side) I seriusly can't process this side. SO blurted out wenesday something about does want me to visit but she can't find a **** house such that she's got her own area and we woudn't be underfoot all the time.
(the **'s replacement for her um creative "Colorfull metaphor's" (Spock: Startrek Voyage Home).
On the sillier side:
case of the giggles?[check]
case of the Life is Goods?[check]
Ear to ear grin[check]
good pub inspired music;[check]
funny tv:[check]
=Life is good=
So's living in a whole other state because midwest america =terrible for small companies and some places are umm...chauvnist,just say she says she 'slapped some (potential) contracts for pinching her and reported them to the powers that be'. She's (trying to) get one her preservation+webyweb outfits going. Before we met she had a bad car-wreck and had to step out of it. I simply don't know how. Personally I thinks awesome she's got spunk and a clever person spirit.
