STFU (Shut the F*** UP)

4sewwhat

Could be part Llama!!

Having coffee then getting to work.  Who knew all I had to do was close down my shop for the orders to start coming in?

Sly and Lil Goats great news on scans!

Shells, hope DH sticks with it and things smooth out this time. Hope you got some rest!

Ducky, do you have a tunnel out the house?  I remember one time snow was higher than my grandparents house and their front walk looked like that pic Chevy posted!

Cami, DH is on a plane headed your way. Unfortunately I didn't have any warm wether to send with him!

Trying to keep up just major busy. Parents are comin this weekend  Long ugly story. Happy birthday to me   When will I learn??

Cami, because of all the illegal hunters here, we do put feed out for them to take pictures, but we try keep them afraid of humans.. Otherwise, they would be easy prey for the hunters. 

Guess what! My dear Grandsons shared their cold with me.. Had the flu and got better before I went and now a cold. GRRRR. But it was worth the fun and change from my crazy life.

Chevy, you asked for it - Here is one with Gizmo, mommy and  her yearlings/family members:

Chevyboy

That's beautiful!  I know.... when we were younger, DH and his Brothers were hunters....  Sorry to say it now, but we didn't think about it then! 

Couldn't do it now.... don't even like to think about it....   All animals are so beautiful!  And yes, he DOES look part Llama...Ha!

Gma - that was my 1st thought. He looks very goatie colored. I have seen many similar. In the goat colored world (which you're not supposed to look at for show goats) he would be unusual. Would prob. sell well as pet with those colors. No don't think llama/goat/deer breed. Llamas used for herd protection. Once had to help friend shave her llama. Not fun. She ended up with hunkys off - but we were doing it to make her cooler for summer.

Chevy - no need to apologize for hunting. Deer can be come nuisance. Feral hogs are around here. Deer not as much because of the drought except when they eat gardens. I pass the meat market leaving town. There are freq. goats, cows, pigs there for processing. I vow to become vegetarian but hasn't happened yet. Mine are not really big enough to eat.

I've read goats/deer closely related but just read another posting saying goats/sheep more closely related. But in any case this posting at least says no interbreeding. Most people want deer out of their goat pastures. Deer carry meningeal worm that passes easily to goats (uses intermediate snail host).

Gma - DH has hunting friends thru work. I'll get him to ask if they've seen this. I personally just see the whitetails but then I don't put out anything to attract them. Neighbor has had them eat his garden but even when I had one they didn't. Fruit trees have died from drought so not much to attract them to my yard.

I bought - yes what was I thinking - canna bulbs yesterday. I used to have a bed of beautiful ones out front. I think they were planted where a hedge bush died - in the gap. Years of working/not watering and they're down to a few measly stems. I bought bright orange/red ones. Gosh I will have to get down to their level. Hope nobody sees how I will have to get up off the ground. Guess I prob. need to get some mulch too. The hedge (short can't remember name) has continued to try to grow over the front edge. DH trims it back but I think it needs a scalping but then afraid it might die. I used to plant flowers on the front edge in summer. It does have a drip hose through it. Haven't done it in years and not enough room now where hedge has overgrown. That and prob. an expense I don't need. I could justify the cannas since if they thrive will be perennial.

Chevyboy

Littlegoats.... I've heard that the deer, will dig up and eat ANY kind of bulbs!  Kind of like all the fat squirrels around here!  But we put a tray of food out for them almost every day.... So much snow here, that they would be COVERED in snow if they had to eat off the ground!    It's just fun to watch them through my kitchen window!

I just bought some bulbs also... but won't plant until Spring...  That's if it ever comes......

GmaF  - Love that deer!  We've got white tail deer that will eat about anything this time of the year.  Fortunately they don't like daffodils or I wouldn't have my yellow field every spring.  There are several llama farms (or is it ranches) around our area.  I love to slow down and watch the little ones frolic around in the fields.  As for the deer, we just need to slow down and watch for them to jump in front of the car.  

Off to clean up sewing room so I start new project.  Jan

luvmygoats

They never ate the cannas, even the year the drought was the worst. I think they died because we never water. I was too busy working and I'm the one that kept up with it. The year it was the worst I had an armadillo just outside the fence in the daytime digging and he would not be deterred from his mission.

Yay - Mr. Bucky's visit is tomorrow afternoon. DH talked to her. I was out sprinkling bird food - just a couple minutes without gloves and could not feel my hands.

Saw a sign I thought we might be able to use:

If you can't be positive

Can you at least be silent?

JAN69

Good one Wren, I'll have to remember to use that.

camillegal

HI,  Today feeling a bit of smaltsy, it's my 5th year Cancerversary.  My home thread is Insomnia thread, but I thought who do I want to share this with besides my dear friends there. I thought of my friends here. I know you will share in my JOY of this day, b/c we each have the thoughts in common re:BC. Bless you all in your journey.

Hmm opened a bottle of wine, thought about these few hours in 2009. 11:55 am--I had a phone call from a nurse that said  "DR.  L wants you to know you have a brain tumor"----no answers to what, where, what kind,etc. Said to her "Well, going out the door for a 1pm bx, we know is going to be positive" "I quess when the shit hits the fan".

Talked over films with radiologist, I pointed some stuff out on the films and said "This tells me it's very aggressive". He looked at me, with the look of --should I be honest with her or not. He said "Yes"

Figured a good little nurse would tell her boss that she had a brain tumor. DH and I already figured out a plan for him to drive me on my homecare nursing calls. Told boss of tumor and plan. Her words "We need to know you're safe with patients, I have to relieve you from work". I never worked again.

In the space of four hours, I had a triple hit. A brain tumor, breast cancer, and lost my career of 40 years.

But my Lovey's, It's five years today. We never know why anything happens the way it does. I wrote the following in 2011 it appears. Probably on a glass of wine then too

This thread is about being prepared------------and will continue to be so, but add to your list about ending it.

There will come a time that you will no longer need BCO. It is different for each person. Some need to stay here b/c no one in their life gets what they have experienced.

Others need to stay b/c they have developed friendships, that are beyond dissolution, by leaving.

Others want to stay b/c they love helping others.

Why we stay or why we leave, is to each our own, we love when we are here and remember when we our gone.

But always , remember you are valued, and your return is received joyously, because you LIVE.

WREN,

I am being silent!

on another note:

Isn't our weather lovely today...so warm I shed my coat today....and I am always cold!

GMA....that fawn is so cute, but is going to be one UGLY deer

Smaarty

SAS-OMG. How does one get through something like that?  You are definitely the warrior! And I'm glad you're here to help the rest of us.  I suppose there was nothing you could do about the job?  So you've been retired 5 years, that's not bad.  I hope after all the treatments that you were able to start enjoying your retirement. 

camillegal

Sas What a whallop in a matter of hours. U're one of those stories that people can really care and think about, u might have retired, but not here, we have u hustling all over the place and u have such an up beat and caring attitude.

Chevyboy

Congratulations Sass!    And thanks for all your help!

Smaarty

This seems to fit nicely.

Di2012

camillegal

Its so freaking cold here!!!!! Down to 10 this morning, 10 tomorrow morning too, which makes getting up and going to rads at 8 in the morning a bit of a bummer. Hope all are doing well,Im having a Much better week. Still just mainly lurking, but I want you all to know how nice it feels to have so many pms and messages from everybody. Love you all....

Spookiesmom

Smaarty, love the 'toon!

A six pack of pups? Share details! These crazy cat ladies, well, let's hear some WOOFS.  They'd "say" they like dogs, I can't blab about Spookie and Kris all the time. 

camillegal

Wait a min-u ette  LOL  I know I always talk about my Katie-Kat cuz she's sleeps with me, goes in the bathroom with me follows me all over BUT also have a Dog names Sox he's a border colli/.Lab and he listens like a dream, he comes to me to visit and my cat gives him a look and he's out of my room--Our Dog is a good size, but Katie-Kat is the boss of this whole house, good thing she likes me LOL He really listens to us to, not Katie--she listens when she feels like it.

Actually only 3 calls today, but next week it's going to be colder and colder, this January is a tough one, more snow tomorrow and then super cold below zero, ick

sas-schatzi

Thanks gals for sharing the time today, it was a surrealistic day then, but it's great to be here now. We all know one friggin phone call or moment can change or lives----------so enjoy each moment. g'night

Alyson

We just have cats I am afraid. DH is off a farm and he thinks dogs should be outside etc and that its not fair to have them in towns.I would love to have  a Sky terrior, my grandmother had one which was actually a cross with a fox terrior and he was lovely.

GmaFoley

Oh Chevy I found one more picture of Gizmo with his Mommy! 

Chevyboy

Grammie, I posted another picture of a black fawn on your other thread!  I had it in one of my Picassa online albums!   "Your" deer are more "long hair" and fluffier than usual, right? 

LittleGoats, can you post pictures of your "kids?"....... See, that's supposed to be funny....  "kids"????  Well it IS funny....  if you think about it.  But I KNOW how cute they are.  I promise I won't show any more chickens though!
