57 is nice an cool for Florida. We’re at 24 right now. I even put down a old shower curtain liner then a under bed container put a bucket of water and feed inside its going to be -4 in the morning mine will have the choice to come out but many won’t. But after tomorrow only low 20’s for lows so it’s not too bad. They just said tomorrow morning 30 min outside on exposed skin can cause frost bite guess I’ll have to get out an get everyone fed in less than 30 mins in the morning. This cold worries me about my Muscovy faces!

I just have a seething hate for those I share a bloodline with, at least the ones who are alive still. They all happen to be spread across Mo.

Other than that, I don't have a general issue with the place.

My father has managed to squander the farms, and the cabin at the Ozarks. I would like to have had a chance at getting the cabin, but it's to late. He took over 300 acres of land, 2 homes, and many potential memories.

There was also a full block of property with multiple buildings in Downtown Missouri City that was just pissed away. In less than a year my father managed to get rid of all the property that took his parents decades to acquire. (I forgot to mention the property my grandparents actually lived on, that's another home on 50 acres of farm land right on a river)

In the mean time my dad, who has NEVER lived in poverty, has managed to find creative ways to "need" to sell the properties. Oh yeah, the college fund my Grandma started when I was born just magically vanished too. I was a minor when she died, so he would have been the one to gain control of it.

I might have grown up in poverty, but it's not where I came from. ;)

I don't seem to care about blood, my family is who I love, not my blood. My parents had a chance to love me for 3 years and didn't even bother, love huh? Visited me 3 times before I got separated from my mom, dad left along me with my mom along with his other 10 children. I don't get why people still choose to not be responsible with this stuff. :confused: I am lucky I got adopted into a great home, can't say the same for my other siblings.

I provided all my kids with dux free environments.

To me, family has always been a choice. Love doesn't know boundaries and I don't feel like I/we should either. The person who my son's call Grammy is actually my wife's ex mother in law. She has 8 grandchildren including my boys. She loves them and they love her. It doesn't get more simple than that.

They say " you can pick your friends, but you can't pick your family. You can't pick your friend's nose" or something... I don't know what they're talking about though. I've done all 3. ;)

I pick my family, I've always chose who I wanted to be in my life and who should be left out. For example 'friends' If they say something rude and don't treat someone like they should they aren't considered my 'family'. I don't rely on my blood to choose who I should love or consider my family if they never tried to love me.
