Good looks are over-rated, IMO. At my age I've learned to be comfortable with who I am, and not worry so much over if I am "pretty". I look back at all the "pretty" people I went to school with and such, and they are, for the most part, awfully miserable - so I guess being "pretty" isn't that important (and sometimes detrimental). Some folks think that being "pretty" gives them a magic ticket so that nothing will ever go wrong in their lives
.
I like who I am and where I am, and if someone wants to have a problem with that, than they aren't worth my time - in my not so humble opinion
.
About the Delcorns - I'm not surprised they are sweeties - My dellie roo is a big sweetie (good thing, he is at least 10 or 12 pounds by now) the brahma girls, too - and the babies I get out of them are just big puppy dogs.
I thought at first it was just this chick or that one, but almost every chick I've hatched from them runs to the cage front to be petted - not just given treats, they want you to reach in there and scratch their chests and talk to them.
Fluffy, my girl I kept and have outside, still comes running every time she sees me. I figured once she got outside and mingled with other chickens she'd lose some of that - but she is the first one to come running and peeping when she hears my voice. I have to pick her up and she likes to ride on my shoulder, if I let her (she has sharp claws, though, and hangs on too tightly, usually
) Gump, the other girl (BR mixed with OEG) is friendly, but doesn't care to be petted or to come running up to you quite so fast - she is more leary of people. I think it has to be the Dellie and Brahma heritage that makes the others that way.
I've got a few more older girls I'm considering keeping - just because they are too sweet to get rid of
That's why I want more Brahmas and Dellies. They are such big babies
I do understand that my relative is an aberration - some people just shouldn't be allowed any semblance of "power". One reason I have a problem with "the church" is that there are so many folks there who have no idea whatsoever what God or Christ were about. I've met more "Christlike" folks on the street corner begging change than I ever met in a church.
Ya know why I married my husband? I met my husband at my sister's house - I was getting one of those "home perms". If you've ever been around when one of those is being done, you'll understand how stinky and horrid it really is.
Everyone left me in the kitchen to "brew" cause I smelled so badly (even my sister left me)
He kept coming back in to sit and talk to me and keep me company - when it was over the perm turned out horrible - I looked like a poodle on steroids. He smiled and said "I think maybe next time ya ought to leave it the way it was, I like straight hair, and by the way, would you like to go out for dinner next Friday?"
I figured anyone who had seen me at THAT bad of a moment and still hung around was worth going out with (and who wanted to be seen in public with me with that hair
). We've been married for almost 20 years, now.
He's still my little Sweetie
He's never tried to tell me what to do - he makes suggestions, and I usually am happy to follow those suggestions - if he ever told me I HAD to do this or that, he knows I'd have something different to say about it - and I wouldn't be polite
.
I usually just tell men (or women) like my relative , that God created woman from man's rib from his SIDE, not from the soles of his feet - so that means, to me, that God intended them to be side by side, not one standing over the other. Just because men and women are different (and yeah, I believe men have certain skills and natural abilities that women just cannot possibly possess and vice versa - I like it that way
) doesn't mean one is more chosen by God than the other.
