Yesterday was hot here, 97F (36C), today is predicted to be 104F (40c) and tomorrow 108 to 113 (42 to 45F). Glad I work outside and get a chance to test my physical limits. Gah.

That's one type I would like to get! But where I live there's not to much chance of finding much. In in the Northern part of NH. National Forest is all around me. The Southern part of the state has swap meets. I asked my sister in law to ask her daughter to contact me so I can give her a list to watch for.

I wish I had your talent when I was your age. I loved animals but parents would not let me keep any. Found out when I was grown up that my father would kill whatever I brought home, at night so I would not know it. He'd make up some excuse as to why they were not around. When I got older they just said no! I'm disabled now w/ ms. but that does not stop me to much. Meds helps, I always feel like I'm holding up the world. I was a teller for 4 yrs, I worked w/ the disabled preschoolers for 3 yrs till that program phased out. I stayed home for 8-9 yrs, after each of my boys were born. I could not get pregnant, they came 10 yrs apart. And it took 5 yr's for the 1st.Had a stained Glass business, sold supplies and gave lessons w/ my husband. At 40 I found out I had ms we ran that til things started to really hurt me and we weren't sure how I would be so I went into real estate for the money. Made out good, just before the market fell, I got out of it cuz I couldn't take all the steps of multi family homes nor snowshoes to camps come winter. me here. Oops, also worked as secretary to the selectmen at a town hall close by. But now my mind gets hazy and the lessons in my brain have made me have to wear glass cuz I see double. I always said I would marry a man that could give me a horse. So I free leased and worked for some friends who had some. Now I can't even ride on my husbands 1300cc motorcycle Honda. We used to ride the wood trails all over the place. I had a trail bike but when Brandon was 3 I got a 4 wheeler and he wold sit up front and sleep all the time! Then he bought me one w/ reverse and it was as fast as a lawn morer My 4 wheeler was clocked at 85mph! I loved it. Rooster tails in the mud! My son was 13 and he thought I was cool cuz we'd go out ourselves and I'd keep up w/ him. Not as much once he got older-he got to crazy for me. No b---- on me to do those tricks!

Wow Chickery-do!! That is a lot of things you've done! My heart hoes out to you with your M.S. Good job continuing to live your life regardless! What a horrid thing for your dad to do! My mother's mom did stuff like that to her. I've never driven a four wheeler, but it's on my list! And stained glass! Do you have any pictures of your art still? I can imagine your excitement when you found out you were pregnant! I bet there good boys with a devoted to life mother like you! So you worked in real estate! Would you recommend that as a career?

lol yea it's funny but I still love to ride just at a much slower relaxed pace I can honestly say me and my better half have toured from here down to the panama canal twice up to Belize the myan pyramids in Honduras and Guatemala up and down both coast and I can say the motorcycle is by far and away the best way to experience Central America hands down !!!

 

[chickery-do]

I started riding bikes (motor) at 9 and I rarely took the back seat to most anyone! I've been from here to Florida and to Niagara Falls but I can't go more than a 1/2 hr any more. I said I would never drive a scooter and now my youngest has a Vesper (like those in Italy and Japan) and I've enjoyed taking it so a short burn! ms left me w/ a changed heart.
My oldest still thinks he's invincible Thur all the broken bones and torn acl & meniscus, He hurts now but refuses to stop, in time mom, not now! It's nice to see their the same the world over!

Change of pace. I'm on this site "Pekin Duck Club" and we just got this joker that says he shoots them in his friends water tank. Its sad to think that someone would raise them just to shoot them. I can see eating them but to just shooting them in a man made pond to me is sick!

 

[Megan Amber]

Yeah that joker I'm rather a little too familiar with. In some places yeah they do stock hunts, it's not the manliest thing to do, but different people like different things and I try not to judge. If he gets rude, just flag him. If it makes you feel better I think he eats them.

I have no problem with people hunting I myself enjoy hunting and fishing as my dad and grandad my sons also hunt we were all raised close to the land we farmed and the outdoors never did any stocked hunts but have done some guided hunts for brown bear and Dall sheep out west we were always taught not to kill just to kill and we ate what we shot or caught if we could not eat it all it was donated to food banks we never bragged about just killing things and always were respectful of the land and wildlife,,,,, just sayin
