Anything you fill like talking about, come on let it out!!!

Date sort Score sort
My husband called me a femi-nazi last night because I said that people should not be judged on looks alone. It was over the Miss America controversy. She is bright as well as pretty and should be judged on more than her boob size. I'm still ticked. And his lunch today was a sandwich and some frozen biscuits. If I could have found pig slop I would have given him that.

And when is the Mr America contest coming on? I want to vote ....... and it won't be for his brain. I may not make it up to his eyes. Rant, rant , rant........I need to watch the Dolly Parton video "Romeo" again. All women should watch that video!
 
I want it to stop being rainy. I dont have work when it rains.
The place is closed when it rains.
I want to work because i want to see the new calves and the chicks. And we have more goats and sheep that should be having their babies soon. And some eggs in the bator that will be pipping soon.

The paycheck is SO secondary for me at this place.

I work a midnight to eight am shift so get to see the sunshine melt the snow and my birds happy to be outside, finally! My teenager cockerels are playing outside in the sunshine together today, too, last night they wouldn't come out of their new clubhouse. They are in the "pull the girls hair" stage so now they are male bonding and telling each other things.

I've only had four hours sleep today so far because our Security Manager at work called at exactly four hours after I came home (really, it was less if you factor in the time it took to get home) because he is too lazy to do his job, he doesn't come downstairs unless he wants something, he lives upstairs of the Corrections facility. He won't hire for positions that are empty and he won't cover the shifts himself, never mind covering his own work so he's constantly demanding we must do overtime. I did overtime to the tune of doubling my paycheck from Feb-May and now its over.

He demanded my immediate supervisor come in for a double shift yesterday/last night even though the day before, she had all her top teeth pulled and her gum scraped (alveoplasty) to get the infection out and her entire top gum has a slit and stitches from one end to the other...can you imagine that???!? Major pain!

HE was very unsympathetic towards her and tried to get her to agree to go out and find and pick some salmon berries for his grandmother, never mind it is the wrong time of year! He also wanted to give me a t-shirt he can't fit, to wear...RIGHT! I don't think so! Then he left his shirt and two jackets in our small office with only four coat hooks, taking up three hooks while she and I needed to hang up our outer wear when he could have just taken his laundry smelly stuff back home upstairs!

No more overtime for me. Life is too enjoyable and short. He'd better get off his lazyboy chair and get to work in more ways than one! He came downstairs four times, freaking out about how he didn't do any of his work while the Director was out of town and he could have just stayed and worked, let my supervisor go home where she should have been. She had some frozen store bought berries she was trying to numb her mouth with and to eat something, HE, get this, he wanted a bite of her berries...

I'm so happy to be home, with my small farm, the sunshining, the birds happy, winter over, steam coming off the wet dirt roads, all the neighborhood kids riding their bikes up and down the dirt road, the crane calling because they've recently returned to their nesting grounds...

And all the confined co-ed residents at the correctional facility are feeling Springtime in the air...you know what that means...they are all getting twitterpated...and he says we need to watch this one and that one closely...because they are getting too interested in each other and he's going to fight Mother Nature and Twitterpation? LOL! Again, I don't think so! Its SPRING:)

I'm so glad I'm turning 54 and don't have all those hormones telling me to be in Twitterpation Land;) No man, either! I'm my own boss and he thinks he's going to control my freedom? I really don't think so!

Just when I thought I'd got my birds safely through the long, hard winter with an extra heavy amount of snow, we had one last cold wind storm and the one young cockerel (EE) I saved out of three froze his feet. No one else had any problems all winter and he had to lose his toes...he's been in the house for two months and he's the absolute gentleman like his big daddy roo was. I put him out in the teenager cockerel clubhouse and he's out exploring with the boys, a bit slower but they are all as happy as when they were first hatched. He has a stub to clump around on for the left leg and a bit of a grip from the right foot, with shortened toes, poor guy!

I was thinking about that beautiful red orpington you-know-who has...so I hatched two eggs from Peppermint Patty (RIR hen) and Brewster (BO roo) to end up w/one of each sex:) The lil red guy has a bit of black on the tip of his tail feathers but he's going to be gorgous and my banty cockerel named Cockadoodle is teaching him how a true roo behaves...that Cockadoodle is such a great roo, and I'm so lucky the man who raised him and got his arms torn up by him didn't kill him but gave him to me. Also, the two roo's I raised myself and have thought all along were extra smart and very gentlemanly are carrying their traits down to their sons:)

But then again, so is Cockadoodle...his son he's training and raising w/me in his coop/pen needs some cracking down on by Cockadoodle once in awhile, and Cockadoodle does it so his son respects and still does not get hurt. His other son that I'm eagerly waiting for to reach maturity is a bit "wild" like Cockadoodle used to be w/his first owner;) But we're working on that and he's going to come around. He's half banty wyandotte and I'm breeding him back to his mama for more of her kind- he's also going to be very gorgous!

I need to get out there w/the camera in between cleaning the duck and the goose barns to get pics tomorrow! I also need to put up a sign this year...last night a woman brought her small daughter and her dog on a leash to see the birds, then at noon, another woman did the same thing! Right in the yard, next to the house, around the greenhouse, with the dog on the leash, like I wouldn't mind picking up some more poop...or it peeing on my gardening...my veggies! I love others enjoying the birds, too, but that is going too far. It drives my own dogs crazy, too.
 
My computer is broken beyond repair, and my phone is wiped of all it's data.

I need a carton of Phish Food and a few episodes of It's America, Charlie Brown.
 
Here's mine: This past Friday we (DH & I) went to his cousins funeral. She was only 62.

The story: Her mother (Dh's aunt) left home at an early age and married the first guy who charmed her. (Her father was a very strict Italian patriarch type of guy) (daughter not allowed to do ANYTHING) So she's found a way out.

They guy she married was a hoodlum/NYC cop that got away with everything. He even had a second family with children.

and a lot of them had similar family names.

He was abusive towards his wife and daughter (cousin who died)

The cousin wasn't allowed to leave the front stoop when she was a teenager. My hubby lived in the same building and he was the same age and always felt for her cause she wasn't allowed to do anything, so a lot of times he would hang out with her on the front stoop with his friends. When they went off to do something, she was left behind.

Her dad was a drunk and became even more abusive. The daughter got it, and so did the wife. It went on and on.

I met this cousin when I first went out with DH. 1975 !! She was intelligent, wanted to make you dinner right away, skittish, shaky but very friendly. And Needy. She would come down to the Jersey Shore to get away from it all, and we would show her a good time.

Years went by and we would hear this & that about her. Abusive boyfriends, engagements that you knew weren't sincere. She would come home now & then with marks on her neck and bruises on her limbs. Always a lost soul. At one point she had a daughter. She is now 23 yrs old. That is another story.

This daughter is a lovely person. And a few years back lost contact with her mother. (DH's cousin) No one knew the where abouts of the cousin. Daughter went on to work and go to college and find a life.

The cousin altogether disappeared; we would hear that she was found in the basement of abandoned buildings with the druggies and the homeless. Two years go by and everyone thought she died or was murdered or something, no one knew!

The daughter hunted her down and found her as a homeless person with a whole group of souls living on the S.I. Ferry - for 2 whole years. When she was found, covered in filth with lice and who knows what, she ended up with her mother (Dh's aunt) she lived a quiet life with her mother in an adult community til a few weeks ago.

Then she fell in the bathroom and was screaming for help (her mother was in the hospital with pneumonia)

A neighbor heard and called an ambulance. The cousin was diagnosed with brain cancer and there was nothing they could do. Too far in advance.

Anyway she died a painful death and her mother couldn't do anything for her. It was very sad.

I have a question though: (for anyone who read this whole thing!) What do you say when you go to a viewing and the Mom asks: "How do you think she looks?" Does she look alright? Ack

I said she looks like she's at peace. How do you answer a question like that?
