all is well and share about my A friend
Permalink  

Guts are better! Not as weak. Friends helped me get feed and grain. Pouring rain but we laughed a lot and had fun. They helped me bring it in.

Then had a great lunch with my I love so much friend. Just had noodles, and splurged on the egg flower soup. I am a vegan but not radical. I needed that soup! (c:

She is A but has always been an unusual one. Never drives when she drinks, drinks while she cooks and with dinner. But the problem is she wants to stop, trying on her own but keeps going back. "I feel horrible when I drink, so I stop for a week and think oh I feel better so i can have a glass of wine, then admits she cannot stop and whats the use if you don't get a buzz? We had a great talk. She is putting things together. thank goodness for mip as I knew how to respond. She is going to talk to her sig other and tell him for her to be successful he can only have beer in the house. she hates beer. He honestly needs to go to AA himself...

But again same scener e o. how do ya spell that dang it. lol Always worked n dui, etc. He is amazing omgosh he cuts hair like no other I kid you not. amazing. he is the only one I allow to cut my hair if I can't.

anyway we hugged about three times, lol been friends since we were 12. She beat hep C. very, very hard taking that interfuron. brave strong lady.
So I know it was good for her to talk to me about it. I love her no matter what, always have. Made me feel she knows she can trust me but not snow me. She knows I will call bs. This gal is my age, but back in the day... natural long haired blond, beautiful. heart of gold.

Anyway it was a huge step for me to say no to the calf. I have never not gone ahead and did it. am proud of myself for listening. You all helped me so very much.

I found out my 4 H people are going to rent for sure. (c: Then  the cow guy will come see the pasture and let me know what he thinks. Then I don't have to worry about the tenants. We will hang on as long as we can for them to move. I will not send them out there to be freaking homeless. I am about to write a letter to the editor and call the paper about this subject. We have millions of people living in RVs in these hard times! This making it illegal has got to change. I hope I can hang on to my land so when things go belly up, all my friends who have an rv 's can move here. IN the depression we did what we had to. Now they are looking more at making space for homeless who basically have their own rules. And also free houseing that they are building They are cement so nothing can be destroyed, they do have a window simple but home.

I love the atmosphere here these days! So many are continuing to show and share and respond! I love newbies and lovem more when they come back! Missen some olders too

Well I am busy training my idiot  six little dogs...rrrrrr Am starting over with potty training. Its going perfect. i was doing doggy pants. forget it. too hard taking them on and off six dogs. lol easier to just let them out all the time.

Its from the three I busted out of jail. they just get in the habit of well no manners cuz they are not out enough.

My big dogs NEVER have done this. rrrrr I am also carrying this little broom when I go out to feed  Augie, Glory and Prudie. Augie is being a smarty pants grabbing the bucket. he is a big strong creature. Should measure him to get  a weight. at least 8oo pounds. I am tired of fighting over the dang bucket! like an ant trying to keep a grain of oats from a duck!

I am very very stubborn and do not give up! I always yell at my animals I am more stubborn then they are! lol soooo hmmmOH and yes he is complying!He knows I am mom!  hugs!

I'm glad things are going better with all of this and that you had a nice visit with your friend. I know I have some friends and family who could use AA but hey it's not our job to get them there. That's between them and their hp. It good that you're open minded and loving enough to see the person beneath the disease. It sounds like you're both a gift in one another's life. Can't rule out that hp is putting you there for a reason even if you are practicing "hands off." Hope she and her hubby find their way.

Thanks for sharing about Augie. Debilyn is on Augie's bucket list biggrin  Easy does it, Augie!  Momma is not a snack!  OK... so you were doing doggy pants while trying to pull the bucket away from Augie? I'm so confused confuse

I love your stories about your animals! Thanks for sharing ((((debilyn)))) I'm glad you keep coming back.  T

Sounds warm and fuzzy- literally and figuratively- good company and adorable dogs. Reading your post, I thought that "smarty pants" would be a great brand name for doggy pants. I'm glad you're happy with your decision regarding the calf. I am finding that it's just as important to know when to say "no" as it when to say "yes"... and then actually saying it aloud and not just in my head is something I'm still working on.
