Why?
And mom bought me 56ft of bungee cord. Can I make my lead line, Ganglines and wheel line out of it? 7different colors. I'll get pics when I get my phone back. I'm grounded.

My dogs feel the need to be petted when they stop so they come all the way back to me. They refuse to line out!!

Um, I really wouldn't. but I will ask my mentor.
 
Sometimes when I look at someone I have an instant dislike for that guy/gal. Sometimes I can't stand being around someone I've known for a long time. I think its probably because I see things in that guy/gal that reminds me of myself. Things that I haven't taken a conscious look at, or have and dislike, something that perhaps I need to work on.
My dad is 80. Yes he's still alive and works just about everyday. He works cutting firewood, operates heavy equipment, drives a semi, mows the huge lawn he and my mom enjoy, prunes the trees, cuts logs and pulp. He's honest(sometimes very bluntly), loyal(to the point of fighting[he has huge fists.his little finger is about the size of my thumb] to protect his grandchildren) Very active and very forthright man of few words. He has little to no regard for the frail human ego.
I hated him for years. It near consumed me. I thought he was harder on me than he was my siblings. He seemed to show a penchant for my first sister 2 years younger than me. It seemed to the rest of us she was "privileged" and was afforded much liberty.
He was quite harsh especially to my brother and I. My bro is a year younger than me.
It taken me a long time to sort out a lot of issues thus far. Some I was absolutely not aware of.
In my world sibling rivalry is a big taboo. Hate is a big taboo. Revenge is a biggy.
So all the crap inside of me was wrong because of all the emotions I was feeling were wrong, or so I was being dictated to by my adopted culture.
My Nana was a very wise old lady. She told me if I hate my dad or even my mom I would turn out like that.
I came to realize that I don't hafta hate someone just because I dislike what they do. I have every right to disagree with whatever or whomever. I also reserve the right to do so with grace. Quiet grace sometimes. I am a human being, an emotional creature. My emotions make me human. I have the right to control my reactions to emotional stimuli.
Today my dad and are pretty darn good friends. My sister was a hopeless drunken drughead for years and I think it was because she was actually incapable of comprehending consequence because of her comparatively "privileged" childhood. On that note, just a few years she finally gave up her drinking but continues her drug abuse though it's just Marijuana as opposed the rest which she drooped. There was a lot of issues that she was unable to let go that drove her to her previous lifestyle. She's 52 now and only starting to deal with her "crap" now. At this rate she will be emotionally 30 years old when she's 82.

I commend people who can vent without confrontation, :thumbsup however I encourage a bit more confidential methods.
This is an open forum.
What I wrote is an open book kinda thing that we can all apply into a very broad spectrum of life. Even into mushing. An activity that will always be there for me.
I left it for years to go into the "real world,(NOT) and do what was dictated to me by others in my life including family, friends and "Guidance Counsellors" that don't know doodles squat. I returned when I was an adult that had dealt with some issues on my own because I wouldn't take heed to the teachings available.
I wouldn't take heed because I was too filled with resentment and hatred which is actually a false pride.
I can relate to a vast majority of what I see, excuse the old cliche(kleeshay)....bin there, dun that.
Remember.......I can give away only that which I have.
Slow down, love your self, do what you know is right and good. :hugs
I pray y'all can deal with this old man's:old rantings.
Now on to stuff more related to open forum type mushing stuff eh
