Welcome to the La-yers.

Late October here. I don’t believe in horoscopes but I get a kick out of reading about Scorpios. They never say anything good about us!

Busy here working w/my boss on next year’s budget. I get to leave early & go pick up Jim at the airport. I know he’ll be happy to get home where it’s WARM!!

I don't believe in horoscopes either every one I ever read about mine was @$$ backwards and wrong I go by the actions and ways of the people I meet/ get acquainted with. Jim probly is ready for a thawing out for sure.LOL

Guineas make awesome gumbo

[COLOR=000000]So I’m having guinea problems. I don’t know WHAT has gotten into them, but they’ve suddenly decided they have to chase the roosters & some of the chickens – and they yank feathers out of them. I did some research & everybody says once they turn mean like that, they won’t stop. I like my guineas – I think they are the coolest things! – but I won’t have my good roos harassed.

Any advice is appreciated! [/COLOR]

Ooooooooo, I"m not sure what to tell you on that Terri. Mine have never done that. Mine tend to stick to their own kind. They don't bother the other animals. Sorry. Can you lock them up for a few days to see if anything changes?

And ya'll know that I'm totally honest. I don't bite my tongue for NO BODY !!!!!!!!!!!

As a matter of fact, my family tells me that I'm too honest. My thing is, if you ask me something you better be prepared for the answer cause it's coming.

I think that's why the friends that I have are long term friends of 20 - 35 years because we are honest people and we tell it like it is. I can't stand someone who won't tell you what's on their mind and will avoid a problem just so to "not hurt the person's feelings". I CAN'T STAND THAT! My friends and I were having a conversation when we took our weekend get-away about how we all met when we were in college. What happened was we were all in class and they were talking about how another girl had told them that she had bought a new car and was bragging and all. I let them continue to talk and then I interjected into their conversation and told them if they stop kissing her butt and putting her on a thrown and pay attention to the car that they would see that the car that she was bragging about is not a new car and it's not hers. I told them if they paid attention to the license plate and noticed that the license plate belonged to an auto rental company along with the sticker on the left of the bumper indicating HERTZ RENT A CAR. I also told them if they looked on the back seat of the car (as she was showing off the interior) they could see that she left the receipt from the car rental place indicating that she was renting the car for the week. I told them that because they talk so much and they don't pay attention to details, that she had pulled a fast one on them and had them believing that this girl had a new car. When I told them that, they all looked at each other and was speechless. After they did further investigation of this "so called new car", they found out that the girl had lied to them. From then on, they said that they found it refreshing to meet someone who was so bold to cut in on their conversation and set them straight and wanted to "hang out" with me from that time on. Well 20+ years later, we are all still best friends and will tell each other what is on our minds when necessary. We still have disagreements from time to time and can't stand to be around each other for more than 3 days and will tell each other the truth when no one else will but at the end of the day, it's about being honest with one another and those are the people that I prefer to call friends.

I would rather you tell me if something is wrong then to let it fester and fester and fester and I never know. I have tough skin so I could give a DONKEY's Butt what anyone tells me cause I can take it but on the other side of that, be prepared for a response from me, cause it's coming.

Ok, I'm done venting. WHOA!

My best friend since we were born (well, actually I was born 5 months before her) are like that. I guess that makes life-long friends. If she asks me whether I like something, sometimes I might say "do you want me to say yes or what I really think". Lol. When she started dating someone I didn't like I told her and often said what I thought of him. I told her that I say those things bec I love her, but whenever she wants me to stop, I will. A while later she told me to stop. I said "ok but it won't change what I think of him, I just won't say it until you ask". Time goes on. Turns out he was a pedaphile. (Place in hell). I have made it my life ambition to make sure he never slips away from authorities again and his life is hell. He was a slick one, very slick. I love that girl. We've walked some roads together, always have each other's back. I would stand down a charging lion for her. That just how it is. One thing we both know: if we ask each other for an opinion, we will get the real thing.

WOW, just wow

LOL this thread is turning into a December hatched thread for sure. Hey this reminds me, about 4 years ago the group of us that more or less started the Delaware thread(frequented it the most then) we took a poll (forgot how it striked up) but anyway there were a great percentage of us that were red heads, like 90% out of a small number 10-12 persons.

Nope, cancer here, but I am a ginge! They say we are rare because 3/5 are born infertile, but I don't see it.

 

[TerriLaChicks]

Thanks for the warm welcome. We are really enjoying Louisiana. My husband has retired here. I hail from Alabama, but on the coast. My husband is from Kansas which I have spent a great deal of time in. We are happy to be settled here in beautiful Louisiana.

What made ya’ll decide to retire here? It’s so rare & wonderful to hear people say something positive about our state!

I'm a cancer in the cusp of Leo, I guess that's where I get my fire. I really am a cancer home-body with fire. Lol. What is a ginge??

 

[TerriLaChicks]

I wasn't sure how she worked it to HER being a victum. Still puzzling that one... After her response I reread mine, one last time, and I still stand by my post. I REALLY thought I was balanced. FOR ME ANYWAY...

Because, if I do need to apologize, I would "own" it.

It’s called “passive-aggressive” personality. Your response was just fine.

That sounds like another one of my long time friends. We were best friends in elementary, junior high and high school. We went to different colleges and she met a guy (she later married him) that physically abused her. She would tell me about it ever now and then but I never asked questions or gave my opinion about it because it wasn't my place to tell her to leave him and I know THIS is a touchy subject with anyone. All I told her is that she knew what she needed to do and that no one could MAKE her change her circumstances. I always feared for her life. She distanced herself from a lot of her friends for whatever reasons but I was the only person who knew what was going on but I never spoke about it to anyone. It's been 20 years and she is still with this guy (her husband) and has 3 kids. She moved to Opelousas about 10 years ago and I have seen her (in Walmart) maybe twice. She has since gained a lot of weight and I think she is embarrassed to see anyone because of it. I always try to reach out to her to make sure that she is ok and that she is still alive. She has said before in the past to check on her from time to time to make sure that she is ok. I can only imagine what message she is trying to tell me - (make sure that he hasn't killed her). I follow her requests but she is never home. She has not returned my calls in about 8 years but I still try to reach out to her every few months. I am so afraid that I will wake up and read her obituary. But there is nothing I can do about it. I can only pray for her and hope that God protects her from the abusive hands of her husband. And to top it off her husband works for the Sheriff Department. I pray that my friend sees another year ever year.
