showing dogs the years I did I came to accept the others lifestyle
as they did never try to force in on me I was payed to show dogs not judge people

Both of my tattoos can be hidden the one on my wrist by my watch and the one on my rt. shoulder is never shown.
I had 4 piercings in my ears when I was young and now I can get an earring in one hole in each ear if I choose to wear earrings. I rarely do.
I don't like most of my kids and grandchildren' tattoo's. They are big and cannot be hidden in public most of the time. At least one son did get his on his calf so that other people don't see it if he goes to work.
I have never liked big tattoo's that hang out. And I have some family that has them.
My youngest daughter is married to a lady that has 4 children. And most people do not like or accept her life style.
She had a large tattoo put on her back that say's "Let the wicked judges be judged". I am one of the biggest homophobes she knows.
And it was very hard for me to accept her life choices. But after much prayer the good Lord told me that he understood I could not stop loving my child. That what ever she does is between him and her. I love that! And I can accept that..

So amazing doodles

I understand. The Lord had to teach me I was to stop blaming myself for my son's choices. He had been shown the right path, it was his choice to take the other road, deny Him and choose the darkness. My job was to love him, the rest was between them.
Funny how tho our children's choices were different, the message to us moms was the same.

Well mom wanted me to get over my phone calling fears, so I guess this list of sultan breeder numbers will help

You sound like my daughters (21 & 23). The REALLY don't want to call someone on the phone. DD2 wanted to drive 30 miles to Walmart to see if they had a specific product in stock rather than talking to a stranger on the phone for 1 minute. I said no (it is my car, my gas

) Tough love I suppose. It is something one needs to get over. You don't need to enjoy it but the more you do it the less it will bother you.

Diva,

I hear ya on the bills...

Dog food is insane, at least twice the cost of chicken feed....

Better? XD

Um, sorry, but it now looks like a skull to me.

Oh, was informed by the property owner where my current coop is located, that there have been coyotes. Sure enough, when I went to feed the chickens, I found a large hole they had started. I will be putting out more moth balls, and some ammonia soaked rags.

I would go with a high Joule electric fence and buried fence "skirt". How many chickens are you willing to lose if the coyotes aren't all that offended by moth balls?

.... and even then I may use the "fake" stuff since it equals no stabbing

Now there is an idea. Then if you decide you would like a change or it begins to lose its shape and crispness as you age (as it most likely will), you don't need to have them lasered off.

I spent the last 7 years of my professional life as office manager/nurse meaning I spent a lot of time on the phone. I HATE talking on the phone now to the point that once our cell phone carrier was trying to find a better package for us and asked me how much I talked on the phone. I told them to look up our usage. They were stunned. I think I had 7 minutes on the phone talking in a month and somewhere around 20 texts. They said that it was one of the lowest usages that they had ever encountered.

I tell people now that if they want to get in touch with me, email me or text. As for talking on the phone, I'm retired.

For those who have come to grips with their kid's/others bad choices, it's good to see and hear. You are so right in that the maker said to love all and let him do the judgement. It's not right for us to judge another for their choices. A primary reason why I dislike organized religion... they are quick to judge and slow to love/accept, but they want your money either way. And the maker also said you have a direct line to him through his son... you don't "need" the church to get where we all hope to be going
