....Flaker, I have to agree...both Deej and Cat(AND you)want to post wonderings about whether you've amounted to anything, made a difference, been a failure etc.....as someone who has grown tremendously fond of each of you over the years, I will say that unequivocally-you ALL are tremendously wonderful women...and this isn't coming from just being your friend, it comes from someone who has never seen any of you in person, yet can read between the many lines of posting....your hearts are there, and I'm proud to know every damn one of ya....life is a continuous muddle of highs and lows-but ladies?....you're still slugging away, and if that doesn't smell of success and wonder-then I'll never know what does...

Beautifully stated, Scott and I wholeheartedly agree with this.

I have said before, we as women, spend far too much time doubting ourselves and our choices.  Don't apologize for who you are and don't doubt what you have acheived.  Would things maybe be different if you picked choice B over choice A?  Sure, and many of the accomplishments that you have - family, lifestyle, etc. would have also been different.  And I personally, would not want to change those!

((BIG HUGS)) to all the ladies on the board and ((BIG HUGS)) to our guys, too, because we just gotta be out here supporting each other as much as we can!

Ok, stepping of my soapbox and getting back to work.  I actually came on to say, I was finishing my month end reports and things were going smoothly.  Take that, stupid cyber attacker nerds!!  

Much love and green lights to you all!

Thanks

Thinking about working on another painting.  

Feeding about 7 stray cats now.  My neighbor says she’s going to trap them and dump them.  Makes me a bit sick — i can’t control what other people do.  And i’ve checked with all the animal shelters in my area and they all charge fifty  to a hundred bucks per cat to turn them in!  

I will keep them fed until they disappear.

That's very sad - sorry to hear it

Beautiful day — a baby bear kind of just perfect day.   I am cleaning up my yard. It will take me all day but someone’s gotta do it. Slow and steady will get me to the finish line. I take lots of breaks, i have my rocking chair, my book and my iced coffee.  

My gladys kravitz neighbor is in boston,  my faux christian neighbor is singing the song of her cult-brained golden calf — so i will be left alone. 

Can i get a glory on high, amen?!

AMEN!

Survivors Log: Day F*ckteen

I am in a daze. Need water. Trees — killing me. I dare not turn back, the journey has been too arduous. 

Somewhere out there, along the horizon 😉, is a warrior and a way out. I seek both. 

If i do not make it, remember me as a good and godly scamp.

I loaded 16 tons, 5 pounds and 2 ounces and what did it get me?  A screaming back. A bladder that has shriveled and whimpers. No appetite at all, I’ve eaten nothing all day. I didn’t get everything done I wanted to, but I did get a pretty start to my summer place in the sun. 

Tomorrow is another day, Scarlett.

Sometimes I wonder why the hell we had these children if not for the occasional yard work get-togethers. 😁
This autumn, I had no less than 3 of my 4 (the other one was working in the city)  watch me load, move and stack 6 cubic metres of firewood, sigh.

I feel your pain. You done good. 💜 

P.S Go eat something, I don't care what... you can't put your body through that without fuel! 😟

Well, the youngest mows, but i pay him. I had the ladder set up and a cotton-pickin’ mess of tree branches all around me on the ground and he chose that time to mow. But, it kept my mess from accumulating. I moved everything so he could do his thang, and then i moved the ladder back. The branches are piled high in the designated chop-them-up-to-go-out-in-garbage spot waiting for me to do it, but that one tree is looking like a super star. 

Shine on you magnificent bastard.

P. S.  I ate a Sargento balanced breaks cheese and crackers.

...mowed the clearing over the hill....not the one at the end of the path quite yet....but had to have the eldest child 'splain the tractor....it's one thing Pop never went over with me in his meticulous "I'm gonna tell ya this 300 times" and then still critique me ...I made him hang out down yonder with me, and watch my sweaty fat ass cut down hay size clumps of grass(cuz he hadn't done it as he said he would. Take that ya Big Bastid!)...figured he'd been cross trained in emergency first aid while in the Army, so if I attempted to remove any parts of my body with the blade, he could just set the clearing on fire and make it the GNT's funeral pyre and s'more blaze.....

Yesterday I attended a second funeral in 2 weeks. And the day before yesterday my daughter-in-law's grandmother passed away in Japan, the kids had booked flights to go see her pre-covid but had to cancel for obvious reasons. 
That's 3 losses in 3 weeks, I'd like it to stop now. They say it comes in threes, don't they?
That's 3, please move on now universe.

((((Flake and family)))) 

Hedda Gabler

❤️❤️❤️ i’m so sorry for your losses!

Kurben

Flake... What do one say when words are not enough? A big comforting hug for you and wishes for the strength to pull through for you and your family. I'm so, so sorry!!
