The Evolution of Atlas: A Breeding (and Chat) Thread

That's too far away for you to just pop in. It's good he has the week off to recover. Do you think he'll be able to make it for Thanksgiving, as he said he would like to do? I hope he can - it would be good for him and nice for you all to get together.

Last I heard, he was definitely planning to come up here that day. He wants some of his dad's famous dressing he hasn't had in many years. I wish he could bring his dogs, but we have the cat, of course. The chickens would be fine in the pen/barn, but I we have Finn plus our perimeter fences need shoring up in places where they have sagged over the years. Sophie and Ghost are huge dogs and I'm not sure about their fence jumping capabilities. The backyard dog fence that is attached to the house in back is only a 4' high picket fence so they could almost walk over that one. Ours never did, but they were not quite as tall as those two.

Some good news: my son has health insurance through his work now, plus it's retroactive back to Oct. 1! That covers his vein explosion, I'd say. His boss called him and asked if he needed another week off and he said no way, he wouldn't get paid so he's back to work this week.

Thank you, Lisa. That's just for Veteran's Day. I'll change it back to one of my handsome rooster-men afterward.

You should keep that avatar for at least a week. It's really nice. Glad your son now has insurance. His world keeps getting better, and better. Upward, and onward.

Thank you, sweetie. I may do that. I am very proud of my husband, and all of my family who served. There is quite the list.

I'm glad he has insurance as well. I think he may find that his life can be great without her and I hope he learns to love being alone. My youngest biological sister, Candice (youngest daughter of Wade Westberry) posted this on FB and I've been saying it for so many years. It's so true and I hope Michael can embrace it soon.

I've told that to my daughters, and one of them has finally learned what I was talking about. She has learned to like, and value herself. She has learned that she must strive to empower herself to accomplish things, instead of relying on others, and sitting by passively. Because she values herself, and likes her own company, she is not gullible, and quick to allow others to devalue her. She's not going to jump into a bad relationship because she doesn't want to be alone. It shouldn't take long for your son to begin figuring these things out.

I wish my sisters would teach that to their children, as our parents and grandparents wisely taught us.

Love the Avatar, you look like a film star! Mine is my Dad, the only pic I happened to have handy for yesterday.
