I'm tired of cooking/preparing 3 meals a day. It's just the two of us but boy oh boy can that woman eat!! She stays slimish, I get fattish. It's bad enough I do everything here much less start making her one thing and me the other. At times I feel guilty when I buy her fast food cuz of the nutritional value....not to mention I eat it too.
Golden, I have tasted both moose and bear (also rattlesnake) and have not particularly liked any of them enough to choose them off a menu. Now Emu is another story as are Bison and wild boar, all of which are delicious.
Are wolves more dangerous or aggressive than coyotes? We lived quite peacefully around coyotes in our previous home but you did have to keep an eye on pets and small livestock. There are noisy coyotes here and I assume foxes, although I haven’t seen any. Cougars have been spotted down by the river but not in our woods.
Nacy, insects are SO interesting. In our old location we had Jerusalem Crickets…weird! Also black widow spiders, which are very pretty as far as spiders go. We also had ugly scorpions - I woke one night to see one on sleeping DH’s back! I backhanded it across the room where it hit the wall, fell to the floor, and crawled into the closet door pocket, never to be seen again. Many more interesting bugs there than here but I can’t say I miss them.
My cousin sent me a picture his friend took of 4 tornados lined up next to each other, all the same size, in Ft. Pierce. I wish I could post it here, it doesn't look real.
My 105-yr Aunt lives 1/4 mile from Spanish Lakes where 6 people were killed, yet barely a palm frond was on her lawn when she returned to it after sheltering with a relative. She has 9 lives, like her cat...
Saw a wolf out front one very cold winter day Jan 1st. They were in the woods opposite the house. Coyotes too, and deer and foxes. Here we hear the coyotes singing their songs at night.
I agree that so many organisms are beautiful - viruses, diatoms, really anything you can see under a microscope/electron microscope. Loved studying them.
Hope you can get dh into a better routine, psue.
Spiders , can be a bit creepy, but I still like them .
The natural world is wonderful and mysterious to me, even the dangerous and deadly parts. Something so powerful that is not made or controlled by human beings is scary AND beautiful in my very, very humble opinion. But I’m odd that way - I even find viruses beautiful and fascinating!
I will say I do like to watch , tornado chasers, but I will die happy, if I never see a tornado. 😀
Peasuep, have you talked to the office, about your issue getting him up? So Incase you can't , they don't charge you. I'm sure you know this but for you, make the morning as easy for you as possible. If hubby won't get dressed, bring him in his pj's, besides that will show them , that there is a definite issue.
I’d also like to see moose. I’ve seen impressive herds of Elk and Antelope, even wild horses and Bison. But Moose are more solitary, right Golden? I’d also like to hear wolves but not sure I want to see them.
We all get use to are environments, living in tornado Alley, would be insane to me, to others possiblity of getting a 2 foot dump of snow is insanity.
And my perennials.
And my bulbs.
Pam, your grandson is growing I bet. I don't like driving in the dark either. In fact I avoid it.
Nacy, my night comfort eating is starting and it’s only been a week since the time changed. I dug up my online food diary to try to head things off at the pass before I need to be the one in the Santa suit at Christmas since nothing else will fit!
I can only cook so much, or well we can only eat so much! 😉
Then I have to force myself to stay awake till at least 10 so I sleep good.
Have you considered the local library, maybe there is classes there. I like to go to my surrounding towns to thrift stores, but I stopped because the last thing I need is more stuff!
To much social media is not good for anyone.
Ugh I just put this in the wrong place. Sorry 😐
Yes she did need new hearing aids, but I had a suspicion that much of her, not hearing what I say was more about dementia, and what I say is just not getting into her brain. Like there is a disconnection going on.
Well new hearing aids, and I honestly don't see a bit of change .
When I came on , I had everyone in my inner circle telling me to " suck it up" , "do what you have to do" "she is your mom"
Then you come here and your pretty much love bombed 🤯, it can be a lot!
Of course I understand it - lives are just too full. But some of the questions asked and the answers given are so darn interesting I really want to know what course people take and how things turned out.
Glad you are better, Nacy.
Way - how are you?
I do my best to never run out of chocolate. Worst comes to worse, you can always make a few with cocoa powder and coconut oil and whatever else you want to add.
We called hotdogs “snouts”.
I know it’s not a whine but does anyone else have a good one?
