Please don't ever feel that way, it is the problem of the new generation not all of them, but most spoiled kids will not get much in life, having a cell phone or clean clothes won't let anybody earn my respect, I truely will have way more respect for a hard working men and women than a clean shaved dude or nice looking lady.

And when someone try to ask me stupped Question, then I have also the stupped answers for them, and I know how to show them the way out of my property.

I am 95% of the time derssed with dirty clothes, blue jenes and mud cover me from head to toe, but that is my business, moving dirt and landscaping, and Honest to God ( I don't want any other line of work instade of this, because I love what I do.

God bless you.

I can't wait til I have muddy goat prints on my clothes ( no skirts-- I just dont' do them! LOL) I like that my feet are dirty at night and I sometimes have dirt under my nails and mud around the ankles of my pants. I moved from the "city" to the country a year ago and feel like I've earned the "badge of dirt" and I'm proud of it. The "locals" already know me as the one who raises chickens and I'm known to "like gardening" and in a recent conversation at work, one of those "if you won the lottery, what would you do" One woman I work with told me " I know what you'd do-- you'd buy a big farm and fill it up with animals". And I've only been here a year

One of my oldest friends on earth, a real city girl, wants to move here near me and do what I'm doing. She told me recently "when you moved up there I thought you were crazy-- Now that I've read your blog and talked to you more lately, I've changed my mind"

You seem to love who you are, and don't stop doing it

Smile and be nice and remember how good your life is and how empty theirs is, and they don't even know it

Come be my neighbor. We can switch off bucks with the does.

Also, when you get tired of your homemade skirts we can make quilts out of them.

I have met fine people from all walks of life: janitors & senators. Quality individuals are kind & curious & accepting of those they meet. You are a good person for modelling fine behavior to those poor kids. They might have felt out of their element with you; they might have said "oh yuck" about somethings, but consider that you made an impression on them. You are a kind, down to earth person! THAT might be a little weird to them!

You are a great person, don't give them another thought. I can tell you when I sent a pic of my new chicks, sitting on a white pillow case on the table, for the camera....to my step-daughter....she passed it around to her co-workers and they all had a good laugh over the way they were "staged and IN THE HOUSE!" she emailed me back to inform me that one of her co-workers was raised on a farm and they NEVER brought any of the animals into the house. It brought me to tears over that one. I will never share a pic with her of my animals again. To think they all sat in the cubicles and made fun of me broke my heart. I would bring in any newborn animal into the house for warmth. My house isn't fancy like theirs but it is a very happy home.
You listen to Miss Jayne and believe every word she wrote!!

I am half city, half small town woman. My kids are as well, and although they can and have been typical teenagers, my 16 year old would never talk to an adult in such a way. He knows then that he might as well be condescending his own mother because as much as I was raised in the city, I much prefer and love my country. My animals are as much my babies as my own children.

I know exactly the tone you speak of that these kids were using. I've heard it from some of my youngest sons friends. A lot of kids are real jerks these days because parents are so busy trying to make the ends meet and and they buy kids electronics to babysit them.

I love my simple life and I wish it were even simpler. I want a goat.

What is with people going onto other people's property without permission? Especially when there are animals there?

I moved last year because my neighborhood had become completely intolerable- my backyard was literally crawling with other people's kids, and we were not allowed to have fences (not that they would have stopped anything). I was outside constantly telling kids to go play in their own yards (as I'm liable for what happens on my property) and their parents acted like I was the one in the wrong for not letting their precious little angels scream and run around 5 feet from my backdoor. I had to chase kids out of my yard just to let my dog out. And then get called names by the parents because I would not let their brats play with my dog. Don't get me wrong, i like children, but not these children!

Where I live now, getting shot for being on someone's property would not be a surprise, so aside from four-legged trespassers, I haven't seen a soul come by uninvited.

You were far more gracious than you needed to be, so if anyone in this exchange is the classy sophisticate, it's you.
